I will never understand how anyone can take the osx dock and menubar seriously. They're both just objectively awful uz

I get putting it here but it should probably just be in the normal search. Search is shit on every os in general. LLM could theoretically help it find actually relevant stuff (and filter out the kink it usually surfaces).

You can add it back in taskbar settings if you use it (and remove the copilot button if you hate it).

You can have it, but expecting modern windows to run seems a bit silly. It's a for sale product not a community supported hobby project.

If it was worth supporting for old ATMs or POS terminals, Ms probably would. But the people with those systems aren't paying for windows updates.

iMessage is the same though... It only falls back to sms when required (like everything else) and people hate it when it does.

I don't think I ever got spam from any jabber server even when google and Facebook were running them. You still have to opt in to messages from something. If I had to guess ,I'd guess every chat service is still an xmpp server under a surface level encryption.

Tech needs to unionize. The only way to fight this is just to have the entire workforce walk out.

Americans: "Stop with the what-aboutism arguments when they apply to us. Others? Sure, I'm fine with that."

Writing a new ff UI is pretty easy. The entire UI is written in html at this point. I'm not sure why people would say it's "hard" to change.

Embedding gecko into something requires work (even that isn't that hard really, you just have to hand it a gl surface and pass through inputs)

It was literally in the chrome "manifesto" when it launched.

Do you think vasectomies are free?

Lots of companies spend more on ads than they make. It's a growth strategy.
