Right? It seems like the modern internet is made up of like 5 monolithic sites, and unlimited SEO spam.

I know that's not literally true, but it sure feels like it.

I'd say they should give him his money back, but we all know he never paid the bill in the first place.

Finally, an answer that makes sense.

Then,

-Please try Edge

In America, the laws themselves are written in bad faith.

What's the context here? I've never played it, but I thought it was generally well-liked. I'm guessing the publisher is up to some nonsense?

The cops:

I think this counts as an example of mutualism. The human benefits from not having to hold its phone, and the cat benefits from warms on chin.

(Oh, and when I said that my system is unstable, the dev told me i should have used a “test computer”, obviously)

Hey, everybody, get a load of this guy. Imagine not running a separate staging computer and custom DevOps systems for your home PC.

/s, just in case you think I'm a Gnome dev.

Do new hires have to submit a pull request to get in on it? If so, I'm guessing the non-technical staff don't get to drink a lot of coffee.

Judging by the last month of our Microsoft 365 tenant at work, they have plenty of room to improve. (Maybe by expanding in-house QA instead of relying on their customers.)

One of the several issues we ran into in the last few weeks was that you couldn't download or view attachments in the Outlook Web app if you'd been logged in for over 10ish minutes.According to the official advisory, this was due to "code put in production designed to increase reliability." That was a funny way of making things reliable. It was over a week until they'd pushed a fix for that one - right around the time more Outlook issues started popping up.

So yeah, while I agree with you that this might be tough - it might just be the best move they've made in a while. Maybe it'll cause them to pay more attention to fixing bugs, and focus less on solving problems no one has. (Apparently we, as customers, have been dying for an AI button on our keyboard, to easily access an AI feature now baked into the taskbar.)

My favorite part was when the organizers sold food vouchers that they didn't tell the food vendors about (and presumably intended to pocket the money). This, of course, was after those vendors had paid to be there.

That makes a lot of sense from a small-business perspective. I appreciate your insight.

Or you didn't clap long enough at Stalin's speech.

Sounds nice, but why use an Nvidia card in a purpose-built Linux box? Obviously they must have made it work well with their default OS options, but it just feels like extra hurdles for them to work through.

Also, why not support AMD for actually appearing to give a shit about Linux open-source drivers? I was a longtime Nvidia user but switched to AMD on my latest build. Given how much better everything seems to work out of the box, they've earned my loyalty for the foreseeable future.

I wish you were wrong, but unfortunately I think I agree with you.

Just develop a heart condition and they'll straight up give it to you. Easy peasy.

Hopefully Gabe can pull off the Terminator 2 of successors, but that just means it'll only be downhill from there.

Very true, but let's also keep in mind that automation doesn't have to be a social evil. If our economic and political systems were better oriented toward lifting up society's disadvantaged and keeping extreme individual/family wealth in check, automation could benefit all. With better social safety nets (or a UBI), government-sponsored job training (perhaps paid for by taxes on automation), and incentives for starting small businesses, automation could mean less human drudgery in the workforce, and more efficient economic outcomes for all.

I'm not optimistic about that given our track record as a species, but it's possible.

I dunno, I saw a documentary called "The Core" and I don't remember them ever drilling through the nougat layer.
