This doesn’t work for me

I stopped reading after the second paragraph:

The Vision Pro looks sleek in an Apple-y way, but it also looks pretty ridiculous. The company clearly imagines us wearing this headset throughout our days and interacting with people as if there isn’t a large device strapped to our heads

If you squint your eyes, every single headset looks the same. Big dumb block goes on head. Arms flail around. And this imagined future he speaks of has been exactly the promise of what computing could be for decades. Longer.

I personally gave up there because I’m tired of reading so much negativity and hate for the sake of hate and clicks.

Huh, didn’t know that 💪

I assume the response to this would be a pi-hole, but I just don’t personally have the patience, energy, or spare running machine to set that up ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Just out of curiosity, do you avoid YouTube or just deal with the ads? I’ve been on a premium family plan for years and love it - we watch a lot of yt.

I’m personally using Voyager and so happy with it so far

Same, but Apollo. I’m still grumpy about it.

Depends on your RSS reader! I use “reeder” for Mac and iOS, it does an excellent job of sucking in RSS feeds just from a top-level URL (eg: theverge.com) and keeps everything synced via iCloud. Before that I used feedly in conjunction with a reader app (feedly would keep track of the RSS feeds and sync what was read/unread between clients) but honestly I just found syncing with iCloud faster/easier for me personally.

As for finding the feeds, it’s just a matter of curating from the news sites you personally enjoy the most. If you google a site + RSS you can usually find a link to their feed.

Side note: it drives me crazy if a site posts a ton of articles every day, so sometimes I’ll try a site out in my Reeder app, get a feel for it, and sometimes remove it if it becomes too much.

“Imagine if everyone acted like Apple” uh. They did until usb c came out.

And even then the classic iPod never used lightning, just stuck with the 30 pin

This is a weirdly untrue comment. The iPod used FireWire for a couple generations before switching to 30 pin and never changing again throughout the rest of the history of the classic iPod form factor.

And a cable has nothing to do with why people buy or stick with an Apple or Google device. A switch to USB C would be better for everyone and Apple knows it (otherwise why switch the iPad to usb c? Why not put proprietary connectors on macs???)

Also? If Apple switched to USB C when it was invented AFTER Lightning, you’d be complaining even harder about how Apple keeps switching their ports to get you to buy more cables. Better late than never
