Because their hearts are too heavy and emotional, and their community is too beloved, duh! I really wished companies would just TLDR so you didn't have to read this nonsense every singe time.

Good for job security I guess!
You're not a software developer, are you ;)? I'm not working on any timezone-aware products right now but I feel for all my brothers and sisters in the trenches if this passes and has to be fixed everywhere!
Wow this is really neat. I just did a really fast refresher on the history of (conflict in) Europe by scrolling through!
The marketing team must've done research that said "people are starting to think that you guys are evil-water-stealing-lay-off-loving-bubble-bursting scumbags" and decided to really lean into the small family business and happy font vibes!
The best way to make a really boring and generic product pop is... by copying a really boring and generic marketing page. God I miss the old internet. Give me some insane pixelated flash website over this bland trash any day. https://www.webdesignmuseum.org/flash-websites-in-the-early-...
I really want to agree and I can fill the rage building inside me when I talk to one... but on the flip side I just had a conversation with the Amazon one and it fixed my weird incorrect region/country problem in about 5 minutes. I was filled with rage the entire time, but it fixed my problem.
If the answer is a small number of humans, that is probably a dystopia worth resisting.
Have you looked around at the current state of wealth inequality?! The internet (without AI) already did that.
But what about putting food on the table for your babies and spouse?
What about a backend that prompts the LLM at runtime and generates a new frontend for every user? It'd be like A/B (C/D/E/F..) testing with no possible way to validate the results or fix bugs. Somebody make me their CTO, quick.
I make sure I frequently talk about running a marathon someday, just so all my friends think I'm in better shape than I am.
The iPant? Or a Samsung WCPP1?
"betatester for bananaware" hahaha amazing
Exactly! This whole sentiment reminds me of the Jobs quote "people don't know what they want until you show it to them".
That's the ad-free version, it's an extra $12.99 a month.
People assume that accessibility is all about some small minority of less abled people who can't "read good", but it's a broad category that affects all users. If you build following the guidelines then you end up with a quality product that can be used by people who stumbled upon it while doom-scrolling instead of enjoying their beach vacation. The best analogy I heard was about drop-kerbs/curb-cuts... people wonder why we're catering for a small minority of wheelchair users everywhere and then they have a kid (or wheel luggage from the airport) and realize how great they are.
I was about to post the exact same thing. They even had a couple of warmth options and the 2700K ones seem to work just fine in lamps that I use every day around the house.
This is cool! Just added my local course.
The motion and blurring made me feel sick so I quit reading too!
I downloaded Duolingo and now every time my finger itches for reddit/instagram/YT at quiet point, I force myself to do a few exercises on Duo instead. I'm not going to master a language like this, but it feels a bit more worthwhile.
I was about to post this. People with AirPods really should know this - you sound like you're talking on a 1980s radio when you're on a Slack/Zoom/Teams call.
Maybe he did have imposter syndrome too? He probably went home at night thinking "Why is this con taking so long to pull-off? I'm terrible at this, what do all my conman buddies really think of me?!"
And the horrifying thing is that they are selling NFTs for NBA trading cards (GIFs). So people now own a trading card of a trading card of a real person dunking :(
This is similar to a site that I built! http://feather.news
