This article reminds me of a recent post on HN titled "Text Editing Hates You Too" [1]. WYSIWYG text editing is never easy, and I am sad to see another instance of it taking over a spot where plain text (which still is not immune

To me, chatbots were nice because: - I could navigate them much faster than I could navigate a phone tree. - They were very accessible in the sense that I wouldn't have to install a custom app but instead use a platform that I am very

I would argue that you can choose to watch these streaming services and support DRM, or you can speak with your wallet and refuse to watch their shows. Pirating the shows is pretty unambiguously unethical IMHO.
