Any tech focused social media site (or tech subcommunity on one) are having a fieldday poking fun and/or expressing how baffled they are. In the tech world, this is a laughable proposition to most people even at $22.90 (though an order

Don't underestimate the ability of humans to make a right mess of things in short order. Often, these elaborate systems of government, finance, and/or corporation often falls very slowly and then suddenly all at once. It's no

Agreed. Are TP-Link the bastion of advanced security/tech/features and futureproofing? No. But they do what they say they do on the box, and do it reliably which unfortunately is more than you can say for a lot of things these day

Any AI features, helpful or no, seems to me like something that should exist in the form of an extension, not baked into the browser. Or, if baked in, should be opt in, not opt out by default, as regardless of where you fall on it, AI is a

This is a persistent and pervasive problem that I have with nearly any of BigTech's framework/tooling flavor-of-the-month. Not only are they often overengineered (at least, for the vast majority of people's usecases), but ado

I wholeheartedly agree for the same reasons, and I even use discord a lot (for personal/social reasons, not for support/business reasons).

Just because everyone is doing it doesn't mean it's a good idea, or that we should just shut up and accept it. That's the non-monied part of how enshittification proliferates: "Well everyone else is doing it!" &quot

Just gonna +1 this. It's still fairly short, descriptive and to the point, which I generally prefer to something more "trendy" or "clever". I like it.

It's a point of comparison to illustrate the differences. CA is seismically active, but not to the degree of Japan. Reading any further into it than that was clearly not the intent and would be foolish.
