Funny, new hires are similarly worried the Anthropic CEO only cares about money, so they have something in common!

I'd like to buy this, but when I try to add it to the Leanpub cart, it won't add it.

Except that didn’t stop others from being banned. But hey, admins could never be damned with accusations of consistency (or basic fairness).

The hardware, software maturity (I’m looking at Gnome here), and lack of wanting tinker with the core OS and wanting to use an M5. FWIW, in terms of software maturity - I think som…

My son setup Gamepass a few years ago. It was the biggest rip off I've ever seen. So many things about Microsoft are out of kilter. I'm about to migrate my daughter away from a 3 y…

Even more incredible that someone who represents an organisation is allowed to edit the English Wikipedia under that username! Anyone else would have their account banned. But hey,…

If you quote the dictionary to win an argument, quote it in full. There are two definitions of obscure in the Cambridge dictionary. The other is: obscure (adjective) not clear and …

Could you use it in production?

Do you have proof there are more editors now? By an order of magnitude? Or don’t mean there are people who like to participate in Wikipedia drama and who don’t actively contribute …

That's nothing. He have Surface Pro laptops, and of course it has Copilot built in. I tried to open an app by typing in a search. On versions without Copilot turned on, instantly f…

Indeed. The person who responded made the following points: * BHG then made a thuggish and threatening post on your user page: * BHG later characterised this like "oh but he was tr…

How was I instigating constantly, Chris? Can you provide any evidence of that? Perhaps an ArbCom investigation? You can't, because that never happened. But hey, keep defending Brow…

And why was that interaction ban enacted? It was immenseley unfair. It was pathetic in fact, given it was a one-way ban, and she had consistently denigrated me. Unless you think th…

I commented on BrownHairedGirl’s RFA. The most toxic user ever on Wikipedia. I can assure you, there are those on Wikipedia who committed far worse offenses and they remain. Like I…

Good for you I guess. Everything I ever added was kept, and I was permanently banned. I created [ciation needed], started the admins noticeboard, reworked the USA Patriot Act artic…

To purchase a subscription, you need to value and trust the service. To trust the service the provider needs to show it can be trusted. It’s Facebook. Why would anyone trust them?
