Putting the usb-c aside, I think the iPhone 15 is quite a nice upgrade, at least coming from a 13 pro. I’m mostly interested in camera features since it has replaced my DSLR camera. Nice look as well with rounded corners. The pro looks like something from the 90s but I really like it (I’m from the 80s).
To be honest the world at large doesn't have an anorexia problem but an obesity epidemy.
50 millions children under the age of 5 are already obese (and I think 93% of obese children shall stay obese their entire life).
So... Anorexia may be a hill to die on and it's not fun for parents of anorexic kids but priorities, priorities and priorities.
The real eating disorder worldwide leads to obesity, not anorexia and I wish all the hate and energy spent thin-shaming was instead redirected towards fighting the more important eating disorder.
The numbers from the WHO here are scary and only ever growing:
Obesity can take the form of an eating disorder, but I can tell you that teenage girls aren't "pinning" photos of morbidly obese people and ending up in a spiral that lands them in hospital.
But I hope parent commenter never has to live personally through finding out just how life destroying the predominant cultural attitudes around body form & food around us are. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Obesity is by far the least of concerns.
Honestly, most of the people I know who have serious problems with obesity have some kind of metabolic disorder. Diabetic or pre-diabetic.
And I think this has become far more common than people will admit. We're burning out our pancreases through processed & high sugar, low-GI foods because the industrial food supply is poorly managed and under-regulated.
But the broader point beyond my specific snipe -- which is personal and driven by deep anger over a serious problem affecting me personally -- the broader issue is not only that Pinterest is on the whole an anti-social actor because of its garbage moderation and promotion of harmful content in its algorithms, it is more broadly a bad actor in the web ecosystem generally.
They hijack search results by scraping and stealing content, hiding the original link, and try to trap you in their circle of links.
In this day and age of people getting sued and slapped down for legitimate webscraping, it boggles my mind that Pinterest gets away with what they do.
On the whole a swamp of an unethical company. F*ck pinterest.
(But love that the commenter couldn't help but turn the thread into an underhanded comment against "fat people". Oh so typical.)
User onboarding tutorials implemented as wizards with masks have never appealed to me. It's like navigating through a forest while only looking down, limiting the overall learning experience. I once had to implement one of these tutorials, and the data revealed that very few people even used it. From that experience, I firmly believe it's an anti-pattern to avoid.
Isn’t this quite hard to implement? How do you distinguish between Saas, software and custom services. Will this implicate that Microsoft office needs to be open source just because some government is buying that software?
You cannot actually buy Office, only license it from Microsoft.
Here the author seems to be talking about software that was originally written by the government. Or, one supposes, where development is chiefly funded by the government.
I think it's more likely to be a marketing campaign that's capitalizing on the Ukraine crisis. Articles like this were popping up last year, but it's ramped up a lot lately.
