The only "monetization" I want in my smart device, is

1. I give you money

2. You give me widget.

3. That's it. "Customer relationship" over.

Plus, their apps insist on advertising their other crap to you at every opportunity.

Stop pestering me because you think I haven't given you enough money yet. Go away.

it should get credit for good work, or disdain for bad

Hard disagree. The "credit" it gets is through the form of charging my credit card.

Imagine for a moment that you are a company which hired a human developer to create your app rather than AI. In this case, the developer sold his or her right to credit by way of becoming a paid employee. All credit/rights/etc to the code become the ownership of Company, not the developer.

Plus one more for your parity drive.

Same here. I think my next upgrade cycle is going to be

- framework laptop or similar Linux machine

- graphene os phone

- ditch the apple watch, go back to a watch-watch

Seconded, I love that the AI feature stays away from me until and unless I specifically ask for it.

Kagi has been a great replacement for me. Less blogspam I've found, plus it doesn't give me AI results unless I explicitly tell it I want AI results by adding a "?" to the end of my query.

Regardless, the fact that this is even a question or has ambiguity/uncertainty in any way is enough to get me to never use a Synology NAS.

Always fake, and a different one for each site. There's no need for me to link my identity between multiple platforms, so I don't.

You could say the same about Google: https://killedbygoogle.com/

Said by someone who writes Flutter for a living :/

I'll echo the top Youtube comment here because it fits perfectly:

When the bald dude with a beard on stage introduces an even balder and more bearded dude to talk you know it's gonna be good.

success of Bethesda games despite these bugs

Bethesda bugs are almost an endearing feature at this point. Weird stuff happening in the game for no discernible reason is part of the charm.

They should have thought of that before they put non-ASCII characters in their language.

Is it possible that the mail address is guess-able? E.g. I'm sure that someone owns john.doe@gmail.com

I'm forced to use it on a Mac. Every. Single. Time. I try to navigate to the window through command-tab, it fails to actually put the window in focus. So I end up having to hunt through my XCode windows, IntelliJ windows, whatever other nonsense I have open - to find a message ping that I probably would rather not have received anyway.

Taken to the extreme is the US Government's TreasuryDirect website, where individuals can buy savings bonds. Instead of allowing you to type your password, they render a "virtual keyboard" that you have to use your mouse to click the keys one by one.

Oh, and that password? Not case sensitive.

Because the Powers that Be insist on making a particular release date, consequences be damned.

I am currently in this situation.

Worry not, there's already a pull request fixing this obvious deficiency. Ah, the beauty of free software.
