If you like it, then use it. There's no point in jumping every time some new framework comes out. Most of them don't last. I have used React off and on since it came out, and I personally don't like how the syntax has changed. My personal website is React and doesn't have any browser history issues. Idk what's up with Facebook history management. I guess they just don't care very much because they're too busy trying to gobble up data.

And PHP will still be chugging along. lol. It's weird that React syntax went from being fairly pretty, and structured, to looking like a plate of spaghetti. Usually languages and frameworks go the other direction.

I don't feel the need to get all of those things. If I see poe, I pick it up, but I don't go actively hunting for it.

I like the way they look. It makes the code more pleasant to read for me.

Apps are going to be written in React Native

Idk if I'm the only person who thinks this, but I feel like React has gotten worse over the last couple of major versions. Not only does the code look a lot messier when you use their new syntax, but the end result seems unreliable. Facebook is barely even usable now. Their history management is laughable, and it'll drop you out of the site randomly when using the back buttons. I used to think React was really neat, but I'm not a big fan anymore. There's too much re-engineering for problems that were solved decades ago.

I haven't used Windows in about 3 years and have never used Windows 11, so I guess my statement is out of date. They pushed me beyond my limit with their constant O365 advertising about 3 years ago and I switched full time to Linux. I use a MacBook Pro for work.

BG3 is amazing if you like story driven games with impactful decisions, and strategic combat. I love D&D but have a hard time getting a group together these days, so it is a nice substitute.

Ideally people just don't buy cars that require subscriptions. That's what happened with BMW's terrible subscription model and BMW stopped doing that shit. The only way to make companies stop doing shitty things is to stop giving them money when they do those things.

Suck people in then nerf it to make you spend more time doing the same thing over again

And then sell a pass to speed up your progress. It's a terrible gaming model. It's apparently a great business model though.

Both new Zeldas and Baldur's Gate 3 don't feel like a chore to me. They're awesome games. Same with Red Dead Redemption 2.

It's bullshit how the entire OS keeps trying to force you into saving everything to OneDrive when you're just trying to save a file to your hard drive. They're bordering on dark patterns with how they try to trick people.

The only font I'm interested in for Code is one that has ligatures. Otherwise I'm fine with whatever.

Right? It's a pretty strange position to act superior over. Usually employee attitudes are heavily influenced by the management's attitudes, so I suppose that the management in those stores are huffing their own farts.

I had the 110v wall charger for a Chevy Volt that came with the car. To be fair, I bought the car certified pre-owned, so I guess it was about 5 years old when it broke. I left it outside in inclement weather 24/7. I'm not sure if it was covered under warranty. What broke were the connections inside of the plug handle. I took it apart and soldered it back together. That lasted another six months, and then it broke again. I traded the car in after that, so I never tried to file a warranty claim or anything, but I don't think it was covered. I didn't trade the car in because of the charger though. I just happened to find the exact used truck I wanted, in the exact color I wanted, right about when the charger broke, so it worked out.

Edit: I just wanted to add that I loved that car! It was a great car. Literally the only thing I didn't like about it is that there was no knob to change the AC temp. You had to hold your finger on the touch button and wait like 30 seconds while it slowly adjusted. Everything else about the car was great. One of my favorite features was the little button on the end of the blinker indicator that gave 3 quick polite little horn beeps. I used that all the time to alert people that they were in my way, where a full-fledged horn honk would seem rude.

What they really clicked is "this is bullshit and I don't have time to read all of this, just to use something I paid for". If companies were required by law to distill their policies into plain English and short summaries then a lot fewer people would have clicked accept. But those ToS started out as nothing more than overly long liability waivers, and over the years the corporations started sneaking more and more exploitative language into them.

They will collect and sell your data either way. They just won't force ads down your throat if you pay them. This is what billionaires have done to our beloved internet.

I chose option C, don't use Instagram. But thanks, I guess!

Unless they chew Orbits gum.

Yeah, like a week later...
