Speaking and talking are colloquially used to describe people communicating in sign language. “I speak ASL”, “I talk ASL”, etc.

Definitions of the words speak and talk cover non-verbal communication.

Speak: to express feelings by other than verbal means

Talk: to express or exchange ideas by means of spoken words or sign language

That said, I agree that OP was likely asking about spoken word.

Maintaining a changelog for very large app development organizations is also a pretty damn hard task, trying to coordinate whatever all teams are releasing in a particular build.

I feel this in my bones. Our biggest device contains hundreds of apps and firmware. We generally update the apps and firmware together. It’s nearly impossible to summarize the changes in a meaningful way. What issues were fixed? Likely a few hundred. What new features were added or improved? Another big list. Management thought AI would magically solve this problem, but it turns out that it has no idea which things are worth mentioning vs which should be glossed over.

It sucks both internally and externally.

This is the deepest I’ve ever seen Jerboa render comments.

Amusingly, your link does one of the few things that bother me about Jerboa: open in my default browser instead of the app.

I was able to find a post of this image daring back to 2023.

Doesn’t mean it’s not AI, just means it’s a lot less likely.

OnePlus still offers this one on some of their phones.

Check the post title ;)

We probably have the same model - the one with the big oval stand. Every once in a while I wish it was OLED and/or higher resolution, but it’s not worth the expensive or all the modern “features” such as these.

I am a die hard laptop/desktop person but the majority of my outside of work ‘computer’ time is on my phone these days :(

I feel extremely sorry for you of there’s actually zero green space around you other than shopping. Heck, even if you’re in NYC you’re not that far from a park.

Haha, how do you manage to do this?

Being outside should be free?

I dunno, I live in suburbia and our kids manage to spend a lot of time outside with neighborhood kids. It’s a nice change of pace over the same neighborhood 10 years ago. The neighborhood is starting to turn over generationally and there are a lot more people outside now.

Have a conversation? Go for a walk? Play one of many different types of non-sport or sport games? Generally hang out. The possibility are endless.

I was wondering why our clear skies the past few days looked like they had a layer of lake effect cloud cover. This also explains that.

Lead with a shower then have a clean bath?

You’re right that phillips screws are prone to cam out if theres a size mismatch, but it doesn’t stop there. Apply too much torque or have a misshapen screw head or bit and you’re out of luck.

There are some Linux users with iPhones, perhaps that’s what they meant?

Apple is almost the tale of two companies.

From the software usability perspective, they have the “it just works” reputation and that might be true if you’re doing really basic stuff. I’ve found both windows and Linux to be much more user friendly if you want to do mildly advanced things.

Their hardware is generally pretty solid but comes at a premium, especially once you start talking about increasing RAM/SSD capacity. I have both a MacBook pro M3 pro and a Snapdragon X Elite Lenovo Yoga slim 7x. The 7x can give great battery life, but is much more inconsistent in doing so. On the other hand, the 7x has an amszing 3k OLED screen, has a removable m3 SSD, and you can upgrade to 32 GB of RAM for around $100.

What I find interesting is that a large swath of developers have macs. I get it for some use cases (ARM emulation on ARM vs doing it on x86), but it seems like it’s a bit of a status symbol for others.

Clearly you’ve never used a Mac. It wasn’t until 2024 that you could snap windows, they have a built in dark mode but the word processor that ships with their computer requires you to use a dark page template if you want black background/white text, and lord forgive you if you want to take a screenshot.
