this feature will be entirely optional until microsoft realizes nobody in their right mind would enable it

if they did that then nobody would use it, and then the shareholders would be sad.

now we’re talking

☝️🤓 that would still only be a quadratic rate of increase, not an exponential rate of increase

what if they were all named odysseus

it’s hard work but someone has to do it

my microwave beeps if you hit the cancel button. it makes me avoid using it.

my secret for dealing with winter mornings is a healthy collection of warm fuzzy socks. (although warm slippers work well for this too.) i always keep a pair right next to my bed so they’re waiting for me the second i get out of bed. i then put on some warm pants and maybe a robe too. it means i don’t have to choose between being in bed and being warm and cozy. i’m always warm and cozy at home.

No crawlers ever go there.

if it makes you feel any better, i would go there if i was a web crawler.

i think that’s fair point. language does work both ways, and i am certainly not in the majority with this opinion. but what bothers me is that it feels like they’re changing the definition of the word and piggybacking off of its old meaning. i know this kind of thing isn’t all that uncommon, but it still rubs me the wrong way.

quick save is also pretty fucked in their games. highly recommend getting a mod that replaces the quicksave keybind with something that creates a manual save with an autogenerated name. (that is not how bethesda implements quicksave, for some reason.)

i think we give silicon valley too much linguistic power. there should really be more pushback on them rebranding LLMs as AI. it’s just a bunch of marketing nonsense that we’re letting them get away with.

(i know that LLMs are studied in the field of computer science that’s known as artificial intelligence, but i really don’t think that subtlety is properly communicated to the general public.)

completely agreeing, 10 times

my condolences to your kitchen floor and kitchen counter. they are in for a rather unpleasant surprise

The disclaimer Novak referred to in his skeet (the generally accepted term for a Bluesky post) …

who has accepted this term? i want names

i will also not be attending his inaugural lunch. i bet that will show him

me at the beginning and end of my math degree

maybe they were afraid of bobby tables

i would like to post a community note saying that i personally believe it to be true

i don’t know if any of you lot have experienced the sonos app firsthand, but let me tell you that it is worse than you could possibly imagine. it takes ages to open, has a million buttons, and pretty much all of them are useless. it has a play/pause bar on the bottom of the app that does not go away. if you want to change your speaker settings, that’s hidden away in a menu (within the app) called “system settings”. why would they call it that?

the app makes you type in the wifi password when pairing a new speaker, even if that speaker has the ethernet cable plugged in. the app also doesn’t support certain wifi passwords so i had to change my wifi password before connecting my speaker.
