Ironic, because I used to use Bing (over Google) and all this kind of bullshit - especially aggressively pushing their chat bot - pushed me away (to DDG).

Those are one of the few Microsoft offerings that are actually good. I've been rolling free Game Pass Ultimate for years (with 2+ more in the bank) thanks to MS Rewards.

Meta knows this is a dumb policy. This is just a way to lay off workers without actually firing people.

I thought they dropped support for Cortana. Is she back (maybe as "The Weapon")?

Metroid Prime Remastered

I'm pretty happy to be playing through this again, though even the "modern" control options leave a bit to be desired. It also sucks that you can't start on hard mode - you have to beat the game on normal to unlock it. Anyways, that makes it a pretty chill experience through a super awesome world design.

Backlog isn't sexy. Management wants sexy. Nobody's boss wants to hear about how the DB schema was improved - they want to see some new, flashy widget.

And the whole product line suffers because of it.

Even if each individual vote were to take the 3ish hours Tuberville claims, that's still 900 hours - over 100 working days / 20+ weeks of business just to clear this logjam he's created.

People have less money now because there are no govt wage supplements and student loan payments are being turned back on.

This dirt bag has been a traitor for a long time now. He's the turd solely blocking DoD appointments as part of some religious crusade.

Honest question: Which browser would you recommend instead?

Classic corporate doublespeak, IMO.

"This is bad, but bad is good."

What is the expectation for compliance here? Are users supposed to scan their physical ID and upload that to PH, then PH checks age against that?

While I, too, appreciate this, I honestly have no idea how to link to another Lemmy instance (or whatever we call them).

Much as the (legal) world wasn't ready for "socal media" (which in this context actually means "web content aggregators"), the law in turn will not be ready for anything federated. They'll try to apply the same "social media" rules to services that are decentralized, and those rules won't really fit, and we'll go through all this rigamarole again... in like 10 years.

+1 here. I used the same account for over a decade, then left the site when RiF died.

Enshittification strikes again. It was only a matter of time, really. Reddit ownership is neither smart nor innovative. It's no longer a site for users, it's a platform for advertisers.

Not the OP, but I went with Moto instead. They're slim, with minimal junk (2-3 Moto utility apps that aren't terrible, no Facebook or similar), they work as well as my Samsung phones (if not better), and my first one outlasted the network it was running on (AT&T older G-series network).
