Every tenth line of code needs a comment break for a detailed ascii “drawing” of human hands

Definitely Gentoo

Cars didn’t “solve a real problem” at first either.

Weird Al should be all over this.

So far, clearing the cache seems to have resolved the issue. If I encounter it again, I will try this next.

I did try this and it did not make a difference.

iCloud Private Relay is disabled for my WiFi. Hide my IP address is enabled in Safari. I will trying clearing the cookies and see what happens. Thank you for the response.

I was using Mint for a while but the system got hosed. I plan on modding Starfield, and there was another game I can’t recall that wouldn’t work on Linux. After I best Starfield I fully expect to wipe my system again and go with a more stable distro of Linux (e.g. Gentoo or something).

To add to that, Android is likely the overwhelming market share of Linux-based operating systems in use today. For that matter, an absolute ton of Intel CPUs have Minux installed on them too, but I wouldn’t call this “on the desktop”, just interesting.

Honestly, between the telemetry data collection, the strange hardware requirements, advertisements, bloatware, and unknown future licensing model, Linux is looking like an attractive option. At this point, I only use Windows for Office and gaming, and Linux + Proton has gotten really good lately. I don’t see a reason to use Windows on my personal machine any more.

If they want to do yearly releases, with new features for every device every year, they need to reduce the number of features. There’s no point to 20+ features in an update if half of the features from last year stopped working correctly.

It only happens on “stations”. My playlists work fine beginning to end. But if I play the discover or “my” station, it stops playing. mid song after several minutes. There is no pattern to it, no specific time. It happens on any network I’m on, wireless or wired.

What redesign?

I’m on WiFi on 1 gig/1 gig fiber. This has been happening for ~2 years. If you search for others, you will find dozens of posts to Reddit and Apple support. There is never a solution. I guess I will just have to continue to avoid stations that don’t have a set playlist going forward. Here’s to hoping MacOS 15 fixes the issue.

And the Apple Music playing music on “My Station” dies after playing a song or two still exists. I fee like this bug has been there since Big Sur.

Also, external display swapping bug still exists, iMessage on MacOS no longer recognizes that I am the family organizer when trying to approve ScreenTime requests…This release isn’t any worse than the last, but Apple really needs a “bug-fix” release. A bunch of “just works” features aren’t working.

They already have a Windows “S” mode or whatever it’s called that does this. People will reject it, even casual users. I had one person ask me to turn off this mode to their kid could play Roblox. They just want to run apps, they don’t care how they work.

Honestly, there are some apps out there they need complete overhauls or to be completely replaced.

I mean this is a pretty big one for most people, but march 2020 COVID lockdowns. My family and I were bunkered down like the family in the movie Signs, just trying to figure out what was going on and keeping each other safe.

I’m of the opinion that MS will eventually get this right, but it won’t be called Windows 11 by the time it does. The redesign, efforts into command-line and WSL, they are moving in a positive direction, but the ads, bloat, spyware, needs to go. If they can release Win12 or whatever its called with the simplicity of Win11, have the features of Win10 (and finally put a nail in the old interfaces from XP and before), they could have another solid performer like Windows 7.

It’s called “right to repair”, if I’m not mistaken.
