> AI is absolutely imperfect, just like teams of human developers. The old "nothing's perfect therefore everything is equally imperfect" fallacy. It's not a binary. While everythin…

>if the organization were seen as less leftist I don't understand what you think should happen here. I honestly don't think that the EFF has shifted nearly as much as people have i…

Given the context of what I personally think about the content, the AI is much more accurate than that. (Is it any wonder why people fall in love with bots that always agree with t…

We should use lead pipes because they are made from naturally occurring lead. Synthetic PEX pipes have to go because: synthetic.

I'd be happier if they stopped using percentages. When percentage points don't consume close to an equal amount of time, don't use them. It's just complete nonsense at that point. …

> companies need to attract customers - i.e. make their lives better. Companies need to sell the *idea* of making lives better. They don't actually have to make a customer's life b…

FBI: See the problem we face is finding a needle in a haystack. Morons in congress: Oh, we're really sorry to hear that, what should we do? FBI: Give us more hay for the stack.

Hostility, it turns out is "engagement" which is profitable. We went from people organically paring themselves to algorithms steering people towards "engaging" encounters. Where we…

Altering the deal is SOP where law permits it. Read any privacy policy or user "agreement" and note that they all have "Darth Vader" clauses where they get to alter the deal when e…

Despite the gutting of desktop usability for the sake of being mobile compatible, many environments still have zero presence on mobile. Can I PLEASE have my fucking scrollbar back …

Depends on what you mean by "stability." The number of crashes is down but UI churn seems like it's at an all time high. Settings reversion is a constant peeve. Seriously, how many…

> without having to take on a whole bunch of the footguns that would come from working directly in a language like c++ or Rust. Don't forget the footguns of working with developers…

That's not been my experience with the original Pis. We ended up mounting cards as read only because they wouldn't last otherwise. Syslog and various other processes, even with lig…

I'm not surprised Experian's security is shit. Equafax proved that there are basically no consequences. Here's some basic free credit monitoring that you probably already had for f…

Clicking a button from the tool bar that shows a popup of some type (e.g. color chooser) doesn't display the popup. I'm not asking for an exotic behavior. No it's not NVIDIA's faul…

> Can the mouse scroll speed be configured in KDE, nowadays? Unfortunately KDE has gone full stupid in this regard. From the numerous bug reports, I think they decided that you can…

It won't run on perfectly fine hardware which manufactures EOL practically as it leaves the conveyor belt. They'd like the solution to everything be to buy a new one. So when Micro…

I went with an Intel 7260HMW BN for $20. Dual band with Bluetooth 4.0. USB 3 can trash your WiFi/BT spectrum as many device manufactures provide inadequate shielding. I got some fo…

So few buy used hardware. I got a used Dell laptop and the WiFi card was shit. Dell doesn't always make the right call but because WiFi card was a replaceable PCIe card, I was able…

> At some point when 50% of the world uses your service the rules must change. It's worse than that. They've effectively levied a tax on everything (without representation). Even i…

Yeah it's kind of weird that people want things to work as well as they do in Xorg. While I completely understand that it works very well for you, the "for you" doesn't actually ma…

> Most common tools havent changed their names since win95 The trick is to rely on decades of acquired arcane knowledge about .exe filenames. What a great UI!

> Now I try to write dumb and simple (yet sensible) code until there’s a good reason for abstractions. Good abstraction is a lot harder than most think. We tote abstraction's benef…

I thought vitamin D supplements were lacking efficacy in studies and therefore we need to get sunlight. I'm more excited about them reactivating some dormant genetic code that woul…

Also SMS not nearly reliable enough. You should have alternatives for that reason alone. My cell carrier was blocking many SMS verification messages for a good two months. It cause…
