  • Weird that Apple has renamed OS X to Mac OS, my first thought opening the link to statcounter was NO WAY 8+% use an OS that was discontinued 25 years ago.

    WTF Apple?

    Opening Wikipedia it says Mac OS was introduced in 2001!?!?!!??
    WTF? That’s the year it was discontinued!!

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS

    macOS (previously OS X and originally Mac OS X

    Mac OS X succeeded the classic Mac OS, the primary Macintosh operating system from 1984 to 2001.

    For fucks sake! No it’s not “classic Mac OS”, it’s Mac OS. It was never named classic. Just because Apple fucks up doesn’t change the name of the original Mac OS.
    And no OS X did not maintain the same version number for decades. It was introduced as OS X 1.0, 10 is not a version number, it’s part of the name like with OS/2 where the number is also not a version number but is part of the name, and describes something completely different, namely that it was meant as the default OS for IBM PS/2 computers.

    Sorry for the rant, but the stupidity of Apple removing the X from the name and not distinguishing properly between the original Mac OS and the new macOS is just such a piss poor decision IMO.
    For instance Mac OS does not have multitasking! But macOS does.





  • I think this is the general formula:
    The Serotonin decides (expected reward). The expectation of biggest reward in the shortest span of time with the least amount of effort and sacrifice of other things.
    If time is prolonged, the reward needs to be bigger.

    Being hungry moves you towards the food, not being hungry will move you towards the TV show.
    If he is not that hungry he might choose the TV, but if he gets hungry while watching he might change his mind and go for the food, despite being in the middle of the show.

    If money is short the dish will decline in priority, especially for people with functioning frontal lobes.
    But there can be many many factors that are weighed not consciously but emotionally. Research shows we are way more guided by emotions than we think, we do what our emotions tell us, and then we rationalize it afterwards to convince our consciousness that it was in control all the time, despite it wasn’t.
    A significant part of our emotional state is actually controlled by bacteria in our stomach! So it is not entirely the brain alone as another comment claims. But it is signals that are sent to the brain, so in that way the brain remains the ultimate decision maker.

    Seems to me the city did something for show that doesn’t work, and might as well no be there.
    As I sted before, the poles and trashcan are not vandalized, it seem like these “lockers” were clearly targeted, probably because it’s a shit system for the people it was supposed to benefit.
    Hopefully after this, the city will stop wasting money on a system that doesn’t work anyway.

    public equipment lockers

    I don’t get it, why would such lockers be labeled “Jumpstart bon depart” and Equip at the bottom?
    Looks more like some private thing, taking up public space.
    IDK, I’m just trying to evaluate if this is just mindless vandalism, or if there could be a reason behind it.
    The pole itself is not vandalized and seemingly neither is the trashcan behind.
