What is really unnecessary is to have the ability to transfer 20GB/s from your mouse or keyboard.

Those people drove like a-holes.

That is not true. I mean the bit where you put that into the past tense. They still do.

Most deadly to driver is not the same thing as most deadly. SUVs are usually extremely deadly to pedestrians and other road users.

The government should mandate warning labels on companies like that, maybe “fintech” would be a good word to force them to use, similar to the way large companies have to use the “enterprise” warning label and games companies have to be labelled “triple A” to know their products and services are low quality and have a high risk of failure.

Just because he is an idiot who never worked a day in his life and so doesn’t know that your productivity goes down significantly without relaxation that doesn’t mean that anyone should listen to that drivel.

But that is boring, that might actually solve the problem and doesn’t have any hype keywords to get anyone to overvalue your company and buy it.

I guess the local sales organizations couldn’t let online stores have take over the entire dystopian market.

Don’t be silly. Porn sites could permanently scar kids for life when they see a nipple, obviously they need much better protection than something benign like shipping explosives to their house /s

Because it is currently the most advanced way to pretend you are doing age verification when really you aren’t that is available on the market.

I hate AI as much as the next AI-sceptic but that argument is just nonsense. We have plenty of machinery and other company owned assets already that could injure a human being without a direct human intervention causing the injury. Every telephone pole rotting through and falling on someone would legally be a similar situation.

Wait? Is that thing in the thumbnail their actual logo? That looks like something a child made in MS Paint.

It is literally easier to explain to them how to do something on the command line than in a GUI, both in documentation and over the phone. That doesn’t mean they will ever discover how to do something in either interface on their own but I don’t really expect that from the people who make paper notes of the step-by-step process in GUI workflows anyway.

“Don’t be evil”…

Honestly, recommendation engines are literally the most primitive shit, especially the ones by large companies.

Audible keeps recommending part 3 or 4 of series where i haven’t heard part 1 or 2 or tells me there is a new title in my “favorite series”, i.e.g the one where I just stopped listing half-way through a book to instead listen to something else.

Amazon also still hasn’t fixed that simple thing where it keeps recommending you a second e.g. washing machine because you recently bought one.

Google recommendations were literally better 10 years ago than they are now though I suppose AI is partially to blame for that one but even before that it “helpfully corrected” searches frequently away from what I was actually looking for just because the term was similar to a more popular one.

I don’t doubt that they feed it all kinds of tracking data but the actual algorithm that does anything with that data is literally about as primitive as the “chosen by fair dice roll” XKCD.

If you think GUI is intuitive you have never worked in support and despaired at people trying their best to get “simple” concepts like “left-click” vs. “right-click” wrong.

Considering they are not even capable of removing video recommendations for videos you literally just finished watching on Youtube I doubt it.

This is the kind of thinking that will prevent adoption to the masses.

Why do people always assume that is even something desirable? All that will get us is more requests for support with fewer people actually helping.

Linux doesn’t have to be stupid hard to use.

And the assumption that GUI=easy and CLI=hard should have really died in the 90s when it started.

The rationale is that it’s better for them if they use their software without payment instead of using a software from another vendor without payment.

More importantly it is better for the company if they use their software without payment instead of developing some sort of competitor (open source or proprietary).
