It‘s not so surprising that the NYT does not know what a proper democracy looks like. They‘re American after all and never experienced one.

We use Teams and what frustrates me about it is that any „fix“ to a problem the program introduced itself (because teams just tends to be quirky like that for some reason) is just a workaround to use teams as little as possible. That sure is frustrating.

Oh I absolutely agree. I just think a certain amount of problem solving still makes for a better user experience than having everything handed to you on a silver platter. Humans are problem solvers after all. That‘s why many of us „waste“ far more than 20% of our free time on games for example. But yes, it‘s frustrating when silly problems pop up when you already have enough on your plate. Things should generally work and we can all think of programs that are plainly too frustrating to use because the pile of problems is just too big.

Weil einige glauben, dass Antifa die eigentlichen Faschisten sind. Die Ampel sehen sie aus eine Reihe von wirren Gründen als Antidemokratisch. Habe ich schon genau so „erklärt“ bekommen von einem „besorgten“ Bürger.

Populisten schüren Angst und Hass. Wer hätte es gedacht?

And MySpace died for this.

I was surprised they didn‘t include AI in the FAQ until I learned they‘re openly advertising the usage of AI for the service whatever that means. Common GenZ L to throw themselves at this.

I‘ve had several faulty Windows updates in recent years and my machine is pre-built. And going by the threads I sifted through in search of solutions I am far from the only one. It‘s perfectly fine to not have the newest update at all times so as long as you update once a month when you can afford a potential faulty update. Having an older than most recent version is far from your biggest concern regarding security. I would even say it‘s a non-issue compared to good old fishing mails.

Computers would be far less interesting if there weren‘t any problems to solve. Fiddling around really is half the fun for me, even when it can get frustrating.

It‘s like they‘re releasing the manual for what they‘re doing.

More of a “doesn’t plan to do a bad thing” moment since they technically didn’t do anything.

You could write a headline like this every day and it would be correct in some way. It also works the other way when big tech makes big „donations“ to politicians.
