Seeing how shitty and locked down MacOS has become over the years, it's incredible that Apple even still allows users to locate and open the Terminal relatively easily.

Apple recently introduced a safeguard in macOS Tahoe 26.4 that can stop and warn users against running copied-and-pasted commands into the Terminal utility, citing the potential of malware.

This is helpful for sure, but the constant "Caution Hot Stove, Don't Touch" nature of MacOS is equal parts funny and frustrating. It's like being put in a group project with kids who eat crayons, but for life, on a device I own.

    Remember when every piece of Window$ software back in the day tried to get you to add their browser bar to your web browser? I really thought that would be the peak of how awful browser add-ons could get. Guess I wasn't dreaming big enough to imagine a boondoggle as utterly useless as an LLM integrated into a browser. I mean, I hated Clippy at the time, but never imagined anyone (even a marketing clown) would try to jam him into a web browser, and have him remember everything you did online so he could chat with you about it.

    What an amazing idea to try to push users from reading articles to reading bullshit hallucinations of summaries of articles. AI really feels like the thing that's pushing us to become the humans from Wall-E faster than any other invention right now.

    There is no need for me to cry when I can block people like you. 😉

    Thank you so much for blocking me crybaby. You seem pretty upset considering you're taking so much time to tell everyone you're blocking them for violating the sanctity of your bubble. Hopefully you have fun in your hugbox ignoring the endless injustices that the bloodthirsty empire and its vassals are perpetuating on a daily basis. Surely one day they won't come for you.

    Maybe I can get Google's lawyers to help settle a lawsuit my neighbors brought against me for installing spycams in all their bathrooms for a similar portion of my exorbitant wealth. Every neighbor will get an IOU for $0.000069.

    Soooorry. We're sooooo sorry. Pwease forgive us... actually we don't care if you forgive us. This settlement prohibits any further indemnification. No wrongdoing, and you're libeling us if you say otherwise. See ya'll in court next week.
