You win teh funny. They really have fucked Notepad up bad.

Its corporate directives - ultimately its about pumping company valuation for which new money is sexier than old money. In Microsoft's case their stock valuation is predicated upon AI, so anything else is de-prioritized.

"Risk, is not the topic that will earn you a smile from a grieving mother of a perfectly healthy child who's now dead."

Coddling idiots only drags the rest of us down to their level.

Why should anyone have to go and create a security policy, especially on a "professional" OS to prevent ads? Especially when a future update will almost certainly re-enable them.

Users shouldn't have to baby sit their OS like this. And if you tell the OS not to do something, you shouldn't have to worry about future updates overriding what you've already told it.

MS treats their power users like idiots, and is driving them away with it.

That's actually a good question. Inks have changed somewhat over the past 5,000 years, and there's no particular reason to think that tattoo inks have been equally mobile across this timeframe.

But now we come to a deeper point. Basically, tattoos (as I've always understand it) are surgically-engineered scars, with the scar tissue supposedly locking the ink in place. It's quite probable that my understanding is wrong - this isn't exactly an area I've really looked into in any depth, so the probability of me being right is rather slim. Nonetheless, if I had been correct, then you might well expect the stuff to stay there. Skin is highly permeable, but scar tissue less so. As long as the molecules exceed the size that can migrate, then you'd think it would be fine.

That it isn't fine shows that one or more of these ideas must be wrong.

Name one.

I really don't want this "feature". What I want is for existing features to work correctly.

For example, automated subtitling. For some reason the subtitles sometimes just stop coming for a while, then you get half a minute's subtitles all at once so you have to pause to read them. I've been watching foreign content lately and I depend on this functionality to understand what's happening, and it often just doesn't work right.

If Google could just pull their head out of their ass long enough to make their service work correctly and wouldn't bundle shit I don't want with it and overcharge, I would pay for a subscription to Youtube. But I absolutely will not give them money while they are proving that they don't give a single solitary fuck about their software actually working.

Is it funny because of "TDF"? Even with the AIs I couldn't figure that one out.

I think it's a complaint about how to spell "kerning", but I don't understand the funny moderation.

But kerning is not an issue for most of the Japanese characters. However if you want to get beyond kaisho, then the situation quickly becomes intractable. Gyosho is hard and I don't think I've ever seen a computer version--but sosho is much worse. The flowing script is often much too pretty to read. Even if you have the kaisho side-by-side it is often hard to find matching features.

Yep, I had writeups from those flame wars. They *REALLY* did not want it discussed. Governors Brown and Kotek continued the pay-to-play system, which is what lost Oregon the Ohio CHIPs foundry campus (before they realized that Biden wasn't going to pay out CHIPs act at all).

All one needs to see this is to be employed at Intel in June, when every single monitor becomes rainbows and the rainbow flag flies on campus every month.

Companies with smart leadership will put just enough effort into AI bullshit to have something to sell to idiots, but won't bet the farm on it.

To me, it isn't just Microsoft the software industry is rife with the problem. Maintenance has been deprioritized in the corporate world in favour of ticking new boxes.

He is grounded in faith in white supremacy, which does indeed go back centuries, but no one should be defending it.

"What if you got professional help and got over your paranoid delusions that Trump is going to do anything besides enforce existing laws"

What if you shut your fucking traitor face? Trump is ignoring multiple court decisions right now, the idea that he is enforcing laws is probably the dumbest bullshit you've ever spread, and you're a spectacular idiot all day.
