Why is Outlook always messing things up here? They had a perfectly good (or at least decent) rendering engine years ago, but decided to screw it all up for no real reason whatsoever. I think I recall they used the Microsoft Word one for HTM

Feels a bit misleading here. Yeah, it tells the AI overview to shut up, but the rest of the results work fine. Honestly, if you're not a fan of AI, this might be exactly what you want.

Sadly this quote kinda sums up a lot of things in life: > And nothing makes me angrier than seeing people popping up from nowhere to express their sadness when a project gets shut down. Because where the fuck were these people when the c

Not gonna lie, this gave me quite the shock due to the admin design alone. The new colour scheme is somewhat better described as 'garish' rather than vibrant, and looks like a weird attempt at copying the Windows colour scheme or

Absolutely not. In theory I've probably fallen for it once or twice before, but the majority of AI written articles have been so poorly done that it's taken me out of the story immediately. Maybe I'd be fine with it for a CV&

This is rather worrying for fact checkers and those that want to track changes to news articles. The amount of times I've seen articles either get silently edited or go missing entirely is far higher than I'd have liked. The Inter

This is definitely an interesting thing to think about when it comes to A/B tests for smaller companies. From my experience working on them it wasn't usually an issue there (since every company involved was a multi-million/bi

Yeah if a company is big enough that they potentially have the level of control over your life that Google or Microsoft do, then there should be ways to appeal their decisions that might not need to apply to a random startup or small busine

Yeah, Google's lack of support is notorious at this point. It's why just about any YouTuber who gets their account hacked is reduced to begging for help on Twitter, since there seems to be no-one at the company able to help direct

Good. There needs to be a US-wide law that any method used to sign up for a subscription has to be a valid way to unsubscribe too. If you allow users to sign up online, you should also be required to let them unsubscribe online too. Basical

Yeah, I like to say the differences between the US and Europe are more like priorities here. The US is where you make it big and become a billionaire, but there's very little in the way of safety nets or social support. If you're

I think this post has some interesting points, but it kinda misses a few more as well. First, appropriate tone depends heavily on the product or service in question. A bank or otherwise serious business should probably not be giving message

You mean how you had to give a reason for your rating rather than just choosing 'like' or 'dislike'? Honestly, I think that more nuanced setup may help limited toxicity quite a lot. If there's no general upvote&#x2F

It also had a design that was offputting to a lot of casual users, which probably kept out folks that didn't really have anything meaningful to say/didn't want to contribute much. Same with Hacker News: the average Joe doesn&

That's a fair point. The challenge is that a lot of the time, it's hard to escape in that way. The ideal would be that a bully is expelled or forced to change schools to get their victims away from them, but the system seems very

The issue is that even if you're not writing your own code, you're reliant on your CMS or framework, its plugins and imports, any advertising networks you use, etc not to break your site. There are already issues where those thing

My theory is that the pandemic and lockdowns had a big effect on this. When those were in play, social media was basically the only way to communicate. People were stuck on these platforms almost 24/7, since there was no legitimate way

For a lot of companies, probably shut down or drastically limit their AI usage due to rising costs. A small or medium sized business dependent on ever growing AI expenses is in a real bad position, and could well go under. I heard a few com

There's a lot of focus on tech projects here, but it's not just vibe written projects that are ruining communities now. No, it's a problem with art, text and videos too. Reddit was already becoming a creative writing exercise

by CM30 5mo ago
That's an interesting point. A lot of the tech being used for AI right now could definitely be repurposed in future. That said, I feel like the comparison isn't exactly perfect here. Both AI and crypto do have some valid use cases

Have to admit, my feelings are mixed here. On the one hand, yeah it's risky that people are relying on a chatbot as if it's an actual doctor, and people might indeed take bad advice from it if they don't realise it's onl

I'm no fan of caning or physical punishment for crimes, but isn't that how a lot of bullying ends? The victim snaps, the bully gets beaten up or injured in some way and the latter finds an easier target to go after? At the end of

Eh, as someone who runs a bunch of smaller sites and forums, I've not had any issues with scammers or hackers gaining access to them. Most of them are looking for obvious vulnerabilities via some sort of script, and usually assume the

I mean he's right, the old internet and the technology that underlies it still exists, and there's nothing stopping you from building and using sites that work independently of the big social media platforms/centralised servi

Oh hey, it's the game I remember from the cameos in Link's Awakening and the Wario Land series. Honestly, I don't think anyone associates Mad Scienstein with this game anymore, given his appearances in Wario Land 3, 4 and Dr

They own at least 74 different web hosting companies and are buying more brands all the time. They want to own a large percentage of this field at least.

Yeah, security through obscurity as part of securing a system is good. Security through obscurity as the only way of securing a system is not. Like, a lot of it comes down to 'high friction' vs 'low friction'. Obscurity

Have to be honest, I do sometimes wonder how many of those might be cases of literal liars/scammers getting the roles thanks to heavily puffed up CVs and lots of AI usage, only for said companies to end up needing to lay them off again

Personally my experience has been kinda brutal, having been struggling to find a new job for a few months now. Interviews haven't been that rare all things considered, but as someone who's neurodivergent, it feels like the chances

I know it's not the main topic of the post, but I think it may be worth pointing out that Bluehost is owned by a company infamous for poor quality hosting solutions and trying to monopolise the web hosting field: https://en.
