  • They’re made to “Enhance the user experience profit”

    “Enhance the user experience” is just what the dev or documentation team writes when management dictates that they drop a feature. The only reasons they would have dropped it:

    • Dev work vs actual customer usage (e.g. it wasn’t getting a lot of users but devs had to maintain it with each update)
    • People were using it to intercept the stream and capture movies to pirate.

    Every decision is about increasing profits first, and UX almost always takes a back seat to that






  • As a software engineer who’s recently been using the latest advanced models in my workflow, I think that’s where it is most useful. It’s generally great for more tedious and mundane tasks like writing documentation, or building small functions with explicit inputs and outputs. And while that’s not crazy impressive, that previously was taking up a much larger part of my time, leaving me more time to focus on bigger picture stuff.

    That being said, it’s definitely wildly overvalued, and being shoved into everything, often where it makes no sense and is just a glorified chatbot.





  • On all my devices I automatically switch light / dark mode / blue light shifts based on sunrise / sunset. Granted my computer desk is against a window, but I find that my electronic screens generally aligning with outdoor brightness works pretty well for me




  • conservative feminism

    Ah yes the old

    freedom for American internet choice act

    Or whatever that actually means that the ISPs in power have the freedom to maintain control without competition and ensures Americans have no choice in internet provider

    E.g. it’s literally the opposite of what it says on the tin

    at what point do we expect the individual to forfeit their life for their morals?

    The amount of “why aren’t Americans just going out, buying guns, and shooting suspected ICE agents” has me thinking too many aren’t thinking through this question rationally, unfortunately
