  • The graphical user interface.

    A million times this. Not only did they popularize the ideas, but MacOS’s UI design was so ahead of its time that it’s barely changed since then. It was by far the most polished operating system at the time. Old Apple actually was innovating while the market was kind of stagnant.

    This screenshot was in 2007. The competition was Windows Vista. It’s a night and day difference. I had this version of the iMac at the time and was super impressed, even if I did switch back to Windows a couple of years later. Looking back at it, it still looks quite “modern”.






  • I’m not saying there’s no such thing as artistic nudity, I’m saying that believe it or not Twitch ISN’T a curated art museum and believe it or not people DID use it in bad faith to make pole dancing streams, strip teasing streams, streams where they generate nude AI images, etc.

    Believe it or not, it isn’t a hard problem when people act in good faith. Rather than just immediately noping out because a bunch of assholes

    That’s hilarious, because calling everyone who doesn’t agree with you an asshole isn’t a good faith argument




  • First of all, it was under Twitch’s version of “artistic nudity” which is part of why they rescinded the statement

    And you either allow something or you don’t. Part of the reason this whole fiasco happened is because Twitch wasn’t very clear on what was and wasn’t allowed. If you allow artistic nudity paintings, what’s going to stop people from saying hentai is just artistic nudity? Or AI generated porn, like the article was talking about? It’s a pain in the ass, and Twitch isn’t the place for it despite the discussion anyways…










  • I was locked out of my account for a month and been in “customer support hell” with them. It was a nightmare, I would tell them it’s not allowing me to log in because it claims ALL my devices are suspicious and blocks access, and they would reply with a bot-generated E-mail saying I should try going into my account and changing settings. I would reply saying “You moron, I can’t access the settings, I can’t log in” and they would reply with the same message again.

    I don’t understand how such a large company can have such abysmal customer support. I’ve had my account for maybe over 15 years now and they couldn’t care less. In the end I fixed it by having a friend log in for me, but it was a wake-up call of how dependent I was on my email and how many services I used to login via Google. I would advise people not to be too attached to their account.
