This is true of lots of educational shortcuts. I've noticed students misusing college tutors. They have the tutors do their homework and explain it, then they think they're good to go and ready for the exam. Problem is that any so

PeopleSoft, especially before the mid-2010s and depending on how it was configured, was an exercise in terrible UX. You'd have to click through like 6 pages just to change one thing. At one point, I remember there being an encoding dif

This reminds me of when some NFTs were stolen and OpenSea delisted them. Like yeah, they still exist out there on the blockchain, but when a central authority can gatekeep peoples' ability to view them, how decentralized are they actua

That's why you are subhuman and not fit for modern society. You are literally posting Nazi opinions about favoring the complete eradication over other races as preferable to a risk to your race. Remember that the editor of Der Sturmer
