"And while it would be one thing to build tools that help people who need help, we need to be very clear that’s now what’s happening. We are not building people up by giving them helpful tools, we are tearing people down by convincing them they can’t function without the tools. And we are doing this purely because very rich oligarchs would like to become richer. There is nothing benevolent about it."

macOS 26 may drop support for four older Macs.

Following Bloomberg’s report that Apple plans to name the next versions of its operating systems based on years, Apple Insider is reporting that macOS 26 may drop support for several older Intel-based Macs, according to people familiar with the matter.

Unsupported Macs will potentially include the 2018 MacBook Pro, the 2017 iMac Pro, the 2018 Mac mini, and the 2020 Intel-based MacBook Air, which are currently the oldest models currently supported by ‌macOS Sequoia‌.

macOS 26 may not support 2018 MacBook Pros and 2019 iMacs

Louise Michel (1896)
"I became definitely an Anarchist when sent to New Caledonia, on a state ship, in order to bring me to repentance for having fought for liberty. I and my companions were kept in cages like lions or tigers during four months. We saw nothing but sky and water, with now and then the white sail of a vessel on the horizon, like a bird’s wing in the sky. This impression and the expanse were overwhelming. We had much time to think on board, and by constantly comparing things, events, and men; by having seen my friends of the Commune, who were honest, at work, and who only knew how to throw their lives into the struggle, so much they feared to act ill;

I came rapidly to the conclusion that honest men in power are incapable, and that dishonest ones are monsters; that it is impossible to ally liberty with power, and that a revolution whose aim is any form of government would be but a delusion if only a few institutions fell, because everything is bound by indestructible chains in the old world, and everything must be uprooted by the foundations for the new world to grow happy and be at liberty under a free sky."

Auszug aus Louise Michels Artikel "Why I am an Anarchist" in Liberty (London), März 1896, S. 26.

🔗 The promise that wasn’t kept via Salma Alam-Naylor #Development #Webdev #Ai

I recently wrote about AI and productivity, and how data from the 2024 Accelerate State of DevOps Report shows that widespread AI adoption in the software industry is contributing to a real and meaningful decline in software delivery performance. Approximately 76% of developers use AI tools in daily tasks such as coding, debugging, and documentation.

https://whitep4nth3r.com/blog/the-promise-that-wasnt-kept/

This article from Salma really resonates with me and honestly explains why I'm such a curmudgeon about AI code assistant tools. Anytime I scoff at using them, inevitably someone says something along the lines of "But they're coming! they're all getting better!" Sure, I'll wait for that day then.

I am eager for the days where I'm not spending time reminding people to add their missing alt text, or to convert a div to a button where appropriate. The basics. AI is not solving those problems for us. It's either making them worse or just doing them in weirder ways.

It's not affording me time to write the fun parts of code. Or enabling what I think is truly possible: that accessibility is at the root of more creative and more loved software tools. If anything, I find these AI tools are making less space for it. My advocacy is now not just "Here is why you should make accessible software" but ALSO "Here are the dangers of using AI tools to write your software". As Salma says, that promise wasn't kept.

More great writing on AI in software dev: https://whitep4nth3r.com/blog/the-promise-that-wasnt-kept/

“Value in software development cannot be determined by how many lines of code you can bash out in any working day, and especially whether or not you are using AI to do so.”

Wartime Russia is a dangerous and hostile place for journalists, but many reporters keep working nonetheless. We spoke with some of them about the risks they face, how they navigate censorship, and their frustrations with independent media in exile.

"Everywhere else you look, the Trump administration seems determined to harm our long-term competitiveness and capacity for innovation; the attacks on universities and the dramatic rollback in federally funded research will probably put a damper on our national economic dynamism for decades to come."
