Mac OS 9 had themes too
"The impact of a self-inflicted decrease in international visitors of this magnitude has implications on America's standing in the world, its soft power diplomacy and the economy as a whole," writes Natasha Chen | Analysis https://cnn.it/4e0k5lY
To anyone who actually wastes their time on Augmented Ignorance:
Be prepared to understand how one small company clocked up a US$500 million bill in one month's AI use, because now that they're charging what it actually costs to run, it is about to happen to YOU.

Now would be a good time to switch away. There's always the Apple trifecta of Pages, Keynote & Numbers if you're happy in the walled garden, the OSS stalwarts NeoOffice & LibreOffice, or you could give this newcomer a try later this month: enter EuroOffice.

The latest post from @gruber.foo is just another example of how bad Apple's software has become since they ran out of Steve juice (circa 2014). A 7-year-old core framework that STILL loses text? Ivan Vanko doesn't think much of it.

As a tech writer, I’m constantly trying to remember “what’s the earliest iPhone, iPad, Mac, whatever that supports feature X?” “Which devices can handle Apple Intelligence?” So I built a site, now launched! glennf.com/applespecs/i... Your feedback welcome (via a form at the bottom of each page).
European tech firms will ship the first stable release of Euro-Office next month, giving governments and businesses worldwide a ready-to-run, sovereign alternative to Microsoft Office and Google Docs.

Microsoft will be effectively bricking the standalone Office 2019 for Mac, iPad, and iPhone users on July 13, 2026. There's not much you can do about it, other than buy again, or subscribe to Office 3...
Today Microsoft moved all its GitHub copilot subscribers to token-based billing.
If you want to see what happens when people have to pay the actual costs of AI, the day is finally here. It's obvious that every customer sees the deep, meaningful value and isn't angry at all.
