People are unfair with this "CEO". Its statement helped me move on from duolingo, which has seen significant decline in quality while never going beyond "a moderately bad way to start learning", toward better, more developed, more cared for, cheaper, solutions.

So, thanks for that.

On the phone (well, teams call): "Just open the windows app…"

It could be nice. People complaining about it being web based are missing the point of such tools.

I'll grant you vertical tabs. Unfortunately, the new focus of Mozilla is AI everywhere and advertisement, so I'm mildly concerned.

Shutting down two things that had no business being built in their browser, to replace them with more stuff that have no business being built in their browser.

Mozilla really embraced the "corporation must corporate" motto.

Don't worry. For most of them when they start understanding that their very existence is seen as a burden, they'll be happy to say "I'm sacrificing myself for America!". And die forgotten in a gutter.

Brainwashing can go very far.

Phones are not that dumb. Mine will actually charge slower at night because it is set up to be "ready" when the alarm goes off in the morning, many hours later.

And Chiaotzu is not bald. This definitely proves this. :D

I'd say your sexuality is "I like traditionally feminine people".

I simply do not allow an open bag of bread to be left unless all the bread have been eaten. Problem solved.

Between that, price hike, and some weirdly low quality content because you don't use this or that browser, netflix really wants people to stop their subscriptions it seems.

They're likely to be the biggest consumers out there, so, yeah, go on with that.

"I think you should come here twice a week to work that out"

I'm not sure how that helps you though.

Running away and giving up. Is cowardice.

Standing proud and dying in a gutter and being forgotten because a cop decided to break your skull open for the fun of it is not courage either.

When NFT started getting popular. Forums were full of idiots saying "now I can really BUY something and HAVE it!" as opposed to, say, game publishers having their server with user accounts on it and their item there. There's even people that touted "we will be able to bring items from one game to another!". Pointing the silliness of the idea to them was a lost cause.

And, since that's not how any of this works, it crashed and aside from some big publisher being incredibly late to the party, the idea is now buried deep and forgotten.

This is the TYPICAL AI use case :

• have situation that's not perfect, but works fine and is understandable (old control panel and some hidden settings)
• improve on the old control panel, create subsections that makes sense, make it searchable, everyone is happy
• someone decides that "control panel" and "old looking UI" have to go, create a cluster-a-doodle-fuck of a garbage mess labeled "Settings", put only half the old settings in there, and half the time conflicts with other well-established ways to do things
• keep pushing the new thing despite it being so horrendous a kitten litter dies every time it is used
• pretend "there is a problem with settings, but we can solve it with AI"
• ???
• nothing, whatever, definitely not profit

It seems that people keep forgetting we just, did stuff. Changing most system settings wasn't an incomprehensible chore reserved to the most elite of people. And changing the fringe ultra rare and hard to find setting only happened with half-decent competent people. No need to throw AI at that… unless you dismantle everything that works before, of course.

I swear, it's not long ago that people were touting that we could finally have decent microtransactions in games thanks to blockchain, despite microtransactions being a very lucrative thing for decades before. And don't get me started on people saying "but it's the only way artists can get paid".

As a collective, humanity is dumb.

We did that to stop English from stealing from us. They didn't get the joke, and here we are.

Unfortunately, not many people are willing to step in the horrific realm of nudified fat bastards.

Presidents should do something, like some form of oath, to uphold this kind of things. And pass a test to ensure they understand all the complicated words.

Well, now you have :)
