I usually set up an alias or script to update everything on my system. For example, on Ubuntu, I would do this: alias sysup='snap refresh && apt update && apt upgrade'
And on Arch, I do this: alias sysup ='flatpak update && paru'
Funny enough you’d need to use sudo to run this on Ubuntu, but not in the Arch example because paru being neat
Yeah it’s pretty much unclear
Likely because Telegram pointing out that xAI is paying them instead of the other way around is hugely embarrassing.
This is old news already; xAI backed out of the deal this morning.

Either way, this “integration” is just Grok being available on Telegram for Premium subscribers only. It’s just like any other bot on the app.
That’s the way
I’ll take this opportunity to encourage you to limit your Twitter use as much as possible, you know why.
Because the notes were not removed, they’re just not working due to data center problems right now. Or, at least, that’s enough of a possibility to raise questions.
Oh no, nuance??
I hope the Polestar puts a smile on your face! I’ve always thought they were cool since they started showing up around my area.
It wasn’t a statement to the press. It was leaked. That means that the whole board likely was not ready to announce it or that they’re trying to keep it on the down low, where mostly just investors will see it and act accordingly.
Why does everything have to be an argument?
It matters in the court of public opinion. Most consumers don’t understand anything about corporate politics. CEOs are often just fall guys for evil companies.
Yeah I would never ever buy one, especially when there are better options anyway like Polestar and Rivian
Possible! Companies do things like that all the time
Agreed
Tesla stock is up because the board has quietly indicated that they are searching for someone to replace Musk
It ended when Reagan was elected
Well, now we know why Trump and JD Vance were saying anti-EU things lately
Well, I stopped using macOS for about four years because the 2020 models were just… bad. I am back to using it now because my current employer provided me with a MacBook Pro to use, and I’ve gotten to enjoy the current version of Finder. I think the most notable change in recent years is the addition of tabbed finder windows, and just a ton of really small changes to make things a bit easier, like how they changed the way copying files works to be paused and resumed from the finder itself.
In macOS 15 I’m mostly happy that Microsoft’s window tiling patent expired so we can finally tile windows natively in macOS without needing that bettersnaptool app.
Well, the moment you want to start being a power user on the Mac, you have to learn a few common menu items or their keyboard shortcuts. This is by design because Apple doesn’t want to make it easy to mistakenly mess up your computer, and even with things being this way by default with all these restrictions, you’d find that people still find ways to break it. It’s stunning.
Knowing that, it’s understandable that some settings would be required to be tweaked if a power user were to use the system. You can hit cmd+, to open the settings, customize your side bar, and add desktop icons for any connected drives. To jump to a certain directory, you would use the Go > Go to Folder or shift+cmd+G to type in your location. This works for hidden files too, but it may be easier to simply use the terminal when working with hidden files such as these.
To move up a directory when you’re caught in the middle of a file tree, you can use cmd+up arrow, or use Go > Enclosing Folder. Alternatively, you could just start using the column view, which is one of the great features I tend to shout out the Finder for in the first place. It makes it incredibly easy to navigate deeply nested directories.
You can also use cmd+j to change the view settings in any folder, and it will remember your preferences per each folder.
The cmd+i information pop-up is extremely useful and well laid out, easy to use, and intuitive.
You can tap the space bar after highlighting most files to view a preview of the file, including media files. This preview is also used in the gallery and column view in Finder, which can make working with media files much easier and simpler.
These are all things you learn when you spend a lot of time using macOS. Keyboard shortcuts obviously exist on everything, but with macOS they’re pretty much required for power users.
