Yeah, their comment read as incredibly privileged, and that paragraph pretty much said what they didn't have to

You'd think they need it to live or something
There's no quicker way to get me to close a tab, aside from maybe just invoking window.close() yourself
Actually possible, given the billboards lol
With Eternal Jukebox I was able to emulate it by setting the jump percent very high manually at the right time (but had to be paying attention + had to get lucky with which branch it took), whereas here I'll see if I can get it going by calculating what the cut I want would set the song length to, and requesting that length and fewest cuts. (Edit: didn't work)
Sometimes the simplest features are the easiest to overlook but most useful
As a developer of a tiny internal webapp - this is fascinating to read! I like to keep things as simple as possible, but as with anything our scope and use cases have grown over time.
Our authzn can handle some of this stuff - our rules, built atop our org's existing IAM, are very similar to these directed relationship tuples - but as we need to grow that out any further I'm excited to look into which aspects of ReBaC we're still missing.
Thanks for the link!
It's transparent, sure, but it doesn't mean it won't be effective. They're counting on a few people's greed plus most people's apathy.
reddit seems happy to go all in on the low-effort content mill market, and those users are the kind to get more upset over the protest than losing nice third-party apps or tools.
I'm not aware of reddit's admins having a large hand in curating site content, though I also haven't been heavily into reddit for a while.
Good joke. MS has always been in the 'incompetent evil' quadrant, Newcomers just keep inexplicably giving them the benefit of the doubt or assuming/insisting they've "changed".
Which has done wonders for my memory :D
(You _can_ cycle through past entries, but will check this out as list does sound way better + the menus people are describing here sound interesting)
Agreed; it quickly became apparent once I found myself entering the 'seeing its rough edges' camp.
Once you've _tried_ breaking it and can see the limits of an LLM you'll find yourself wishing for an AI assistant, but knowing what is and isn't possible makes managing one's expectations with new technologies easier.
I'm still generally an optimist with these new techs because they're still very cool and potentially useful interfaces to existing technologies, but I agree with you in that it's too easy to get caught up deferring to it like it's some techie oracle (and that the tendency for people to want to do so is concerning).
I used to think people wouldn't "simply accept" the types of systems in _Minority Report_ or _Psycho-pass_, to the extent that I found it to be immersion-breaking. But, concerningly, it seems folks are happy and willing to give up that deference (in what's probably a well-studied sociological observation I'm simply unaware of the term for). Scary stuff.
You're just describing being well connected, which is nothing new. It's not 'a magical sequence of accounts', it's being part of a community.

This still beats "XYZ group" - in this case, someone who is

being ignored by us as well as by the company that's meant to be the middleman (to clients who had no issue paying them directly - so clearly a problem with UW and not any other party)
> I "deserve" to get screwed
No one does, which is the point. Highlighting when companies' customer service fails users (and how they deal with it - sweeping the pattern under the rug versus resolving to address it) helps people make informed decisions about the companies they do or don't choose to work with.
While 'anecdata', it's still a more far useful metric to me than advertising in picking who I support, as patterns tend to arise (both positive and negative!) resulting from a company's culture.
I'd hope it at least reached two or three :thinking:
Which is why reading text backwards can help to find typos, or so I've heard. (Typos tend to jump out at me, even in my own writing.)
Considering how much work it took to get wrangle 10 LTSE into a usable Win environment I'd much prefer the simple OS that stayed out of my hair than one that "does so much more" I didn't ask for.
I hope someday software is regulated as tightly as other consumer goods. Abusing one's position as the issuer of security updates to force choices, undesired changes, and bloat down user's throats shouldn't be possible; users should have the option to separate the two.
I'm aware that that seems like a tall ask given the state of "modern" software development, but that's its own can of worms.
Now you're thinking with portals
Pasting in teams is hilarious. I think when I last tried they were using contenteditable, as formatting that should not have carried over did so, along with the indentation going haywire on paste.
Iirc that's one of the points of proof-of-stake. PoS is nearly analogous to PoW in its platform implications - potential for centralization due to resource costs and so on - but doesn't rely on burning through processing power to be secured.

Yes. This is exactly the kind of thing I was once looking for, only I didn't know how best to phrase at the time. Think I've since found some of the details I needed then, but will look into these nonetheless and see what I missed, if anything.
Thanks!
Clearly for some subset of people, "something" is missing for those native solutions (I can guess - portability, convenient 'moddability', etc) which they believe the standardization-reliant web can better address for them.
