You’re not alone. I did the same thing.

Oh, I stand corrected

People are just now acknowledging it. Execs tend to have a disdain for the minutiae. They’re like kids that only want to do the exciting bits. As a result things get fucked because they don’t really understand what they’re doing. As Muskrat would say “move fast and break things.” It’s a terrible mindset.

Are you doing Azure training too? I cursed these out to my boss when I encountered them. I’ve seen a lot of bad captcha but these are hands down the worst.

Personally my biggest gripe is with the formatting, specifically spoilers tags are a terrible choice when the whole thing could be a single sentence with a link. Spoiler tags aren’t uniformly implemented and when pointed out the stance is it’s the clients fault for not doing spoilers the way the dev wants rather than the devs fault for not using a more standardized approach which just bugs me. If the goal was concise conveyance of information, they missed the mark.

Same

The whole lower part of the comment could be a “More info” link to a page where these details are explained instead appending them to every comment.

FTFY. Excellent concept but terrible formatting; the wall of text is way too much. Just tell me “this media outlet’s alignment is ____, click here for more info.”

I have not until now heard of anyone calling for the Great Lakes to be nuked but I kinda support it. Where do I sign the petition?

I’m pretty sure no part of this is a good thing

Sounds more like Project Insight to me

Subscription to a cell carrier maybe? I’ve used Android Auto in particular a bunch. It connects to my phone and uses Google maps, which is non subscription. Admittedly it’s been a bit, I suppose Google could have crippled it since I last used it, but I have my doubts. My mother uses it regularly and I guarantee she’d be throwing a fit if she needed to pay to do so.

Car makers don’t give you that option.

Except they do if you have Android Auto. Literally none of that has any bearing whatsoever on subscriptions for cruise control though.

Is this whole issue just “we told an algorithm to do a thing and we’re shocked that it did it?” The ‘prompt’ is basically telling it to do this behaviour, including giving it the new name but the article treats it as if it’s spontaneous.
