I think in this context they’re only talking about apps that are no longer maintained. So it is the OG reddit replacement that isn’t being maintained. But yeah, kind of weird wording all throughout.

2·13 days agoI really don’t mean to be disrespectful but it sounds like you’ve been lucky enough to never have anything like this happen to you. I’m glad for you, I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. But please realize you’re talking about an idealistic view that doesn’t match, at least my own, reality.
I know DoorDash is expensive, I’m fine paying the prices and tipping the drivers extra well. The service is useful and important to me. And taking care of the drivers with tips and them taking care of me with service IS my community. I love those people that bring me food and it means the world to me that I can get the food I need, when I need it, with such little friction. (Which btw, is not pizza and Chinese food. I WISH I could eat those things 😭) That’s well worth the extra costs I’m paying. Plus I get to support local businesses that I otherwise wouldn’t be able to patronize.
If you have issues with DoorDash or gig economy type stuff, I’d urge you to think about legislation or unionization type things that would help and evangelize for those, rather than taking it out on the patrons and drivers.
You have no idea how helpful DoorDash/Ubereats is for people with health issues and no support network. I’m not going to share any of my details but I’d be in a much worse situation if I couldn’t rely on DoorDash for meals.
idk, I use a gaming PC for that stuff.
The Mac’s are for work and creation.
I have a 2019 MacBook Pro and stopped updating it at Sonoma. The new OSes are just too much for that Intel chip anyway.
The M-series processors are amazing though, I’ve had such a good experience with them.
2·19 days agoIt’s insane. We have so much wealth in this country that there is no excuse for how bad our healthcare system is. Its atrocious and getting worse every day.
I actually think “CEO” is the job most compatible with being replaced by AI.
19·28 days agoI don’t know, this one from James has always been one of my favorites:
~3 years ago I had the same experience when I opened Apollo and it no longer worked with Reddit.
The world kind of learned this recently when Ebola outbreak started and nobody else had stepped up to fill the void the US left.
