The real stupid thing here is that a header has to be added to disable reactions. Why didn’t Microsoft just use a header to enable them? I mean make it opt in instead of opt out. Then they can use that header in all their Outlook shit and everyone else can go on with their day not worrying about it. So stupid, but not sure what I expected from Microsoft.

And how many units do these things sell compared to a shitty HP printer? I would guess the shitty HP printer sells more.

As someone who owns Makita power tools, I feel personally attacked 😂

I would say an outstanding product markets itself

Of course an outstanding product will spread via word-of-mouth… but as it turns out, word-of-mouth only does so much. I wouldn’t say word-of-mouth just “markets itself”. You’ll need some sort of critical mass before that really works out. There are plenty of good products out there that are not getting bought even if they’re better than the competitor, because the competitor has better marketing.

1. Shake hands thoroughly after washing to minimise excess water.
2. Move hands together as if you’re applying soap while using the dryer. This keeps the water evenly distributed on your hands, to maximise evaporation.

Would recommend Case of the Golden Idol for a similar detective vibe.

if you transfer resources to them

I get what you’re saying here and mostly agree, but just want to point out that you are transferring a resource - your labour. So it is a bit more nuanced than this.

I doubt they knowingly sponsored a project based on the developers’ political ideologies

But now they should know right? But the response makes it clear they don’t really care. They want to include everyone in the “big tent”, which clearly runs afoul of the paradox of tolerance. I am not a fan of their response.

I recently switched to Linux, but the reason it took so long was primarily:

1. Just getting the time to do it. I’m really busy these days and setting up a PC from scratch with all the stuff I need and how I want it to be takes a lot of time.
2. Concerns about gaming, which turned out to be a complete non-issue. I can game completely fine and easily on Linux via Steam’s compatibility settings. I can even use it to install non-Steam games and launchers, like Battlenet.
3. Concerns about stuff not “just working” and I will say, there are more small annoyances. Already had a few segfaults from KDE Plasma when waking from sleep which crashes all programs and leaves me with an empty desktop. We really collectively need to move away from memory-unsafe languages, but yea you just don’t get those sorts of bugs on Windows because Microsoft performs much, much more extensive testing of their code than Linux does (which is sad, but is the reality).

With the amount of AI slop out there, in this day and age this is actually a surprisingly high level of trust.

It looks like the default one to me, but I guess it could be a bundled one. But I tried downloading another camera app and it showed the same 30 second exposure limit so I’m guessing it’s a hardware limitation.

Hmm I have something called “nightscape” but I think it can only do 30 second exposures

What phones have this option? How would I find it?

you can squeeze a bit more faint detail out of them

What exactly did you do here? Up the contrast or something?

How comes movies aren’t like this? I feel like there are so few movies but so many games.

I would never use an algorithmic feed for friends and family relations, so that’s simply not relevant. Tbh I don’t use “social media” with friends and family at all, I just use chats with them.

how do you know you’re not missing something important or interesting?

I mean this is just FOMO if you ask me. There always going to be something you’ll miss - it’s impossible to follow everything completely. I find it better to get a condensed view of the most important stuff, and then I can skip most of the rest.

That’s fine, but most people don’t want their feeds like that. I for sure don’t have time to follow literally all posts from the things I follow - I need some sort of filtering mechanism.

This is a strange take on a website that doesn’t show a chronological feed (by default anyway).

The problem is that chronological feeds suck hard when activity levels go above a certain threshold. You’d refresh the page and get an entire new set of posts because since last you refreshed, there were 100000 posts made. Chronological is not feasible in that scenario.

As a dane: The social democratic party in Denmark has changed a lot in the last 10-20 years. It used to be much more left-leaning. Nowadays it’s essentially a middle party. They adopted quite a few policies from the right wing (especially on the immigration area), in an attempt to keep the power basically, and it has worked immensely well, in the sense that many, many people have voted for them.
