Needs to be bottified: "And your father is powered by rotting elderberries!"

Why. Is. It. that web browsers seem to be built with the express and sole purpose of being as annoying as possible?

Nothing is truly "free". It ends up being a tool to sell you shit, track you to sell you shit later, and display as many ads as possible.

I get where you are coming from regarding screwy and ever-shifting browser UI's. I'd like to see a browser library that allows one to use the common programming languages to implement the general UI environment. The dev can program all the browser buttons, menus and panel layouts, but let library calls do the actual web-page rendering for the sub-panels. There'd be several demonstration configurations (layouts) to select and customize.

I'd like to see a kind of modernized version of Visual Basic classic. One could whip out a general layout in no-time with barely any code. However, it's probably not for the persnickety. Finding a happy medium is tricky, as being both newbie friendly and guru-friendly is tough as nails.

Mozilla tried to do something like this with XUL, but it sucked.

"Slop" is the in way to say it.

that happens to attach OS's, browsers, and biz-ware to it. Reminds me of the old joke: "Emacs is a decent OS, but lacks a good editor."

Donald Trump is happy to screw any industry over xenophobia except real-estate, oil, and makers of gold doilies.

But perhaps people take out loan sizes based on what they expect to earn in their field. For example, an engineering masters degree is expected to result in a relatively high salary, so one may request a big loan.

We need to STOP loans, scholarships and grants for any field that has no realistic promise of having the student make enough...

There are already common work-sheets to compute recommended loan level based on wage and employment statistics in various fields. If somebody is foolish enough to ignore such warnings, then the problem is on them. I don't believe low-wage degree earners are necessarily more egotistical or greedy than high ones, barring solid evidence.

That's news to all the grads drowning in debt they'll never pay off.

It's talking about an average. Some loan takers fall through the cracks, usually because either they cannot find a job that takes advantage of their degree, and/or because they took on an unrealistic amount of debt. Often one's ego writes checks the Bank of Reality can't cover.

the issue of enrollment now being overwhelmingly female, with majors that are money losers in the job markets.

Ignoring that this comes across misogynistic, many women choose fields that they feel directly help people or society even if the paychecks are skimpy. But this doesn't mean they are necessarily taking on lots of debt. An analysis of the biggest defaulters and pay-off times would be necessary before laying the blame on such degrees. We shouldn't just presume careers that pay less are the biggest source of loan problems.

S.O. was full of pretentious jerks, so part of me is glad they are suffering. On the other hand, I don't wish to see the site outright die, just humbled.

Samsung is demonstrating the flexibility...to product designers...isn't proposing these as actual products.

So JD Vance may finally get that moaning sofa he's always fantasized about. "Darling, tell me how much you crave blokes with pudgy faces again!"

The system will be dead in less than 5 years. Samsung will change the terms of service and you will be left holding an empty bag having bought a pig in a poke. Not even a pig one can put lipstick on.

And Louis Rossmann will have to make yet another video about how wrong it all is.

It is almost like nobody pays attention.

Boomer here, get off my lawn. Yes, I've become the greybeard I used to make fun of 40 years ago.
