But haven't you ever wanted the opportunity to pay for bookmarks? Now you can!

Hey now, they'll build native features if it's something no one wants (Pocket).

Right? It seems like the modern internet is made up of like 5 monolithic sites, and unlimited SEO spam.

I know that's not literally true, but it sure feels like it.

What's the context here? I've never played it, but I thought it was generally well-liked. I'm guessing the publisher is up to some nonsense?

Judging by the last month of our Microsoft 365 tenant at work, they have plenty of room to improve. (Maybe by expanding in-house QA instead of relying on their customers.)

One of the several issues we ran into in the last few weeks was that you couldn't download or view attachments in the Outlook Web app if you'd been logged in for over 10ish minutes.According to the official advisory, this was due to "code put in production designed to increase reliability." That was a funny way of making things reliable. It was over a week until they'd pushed a fix for that one - right around the time more Outlook issues started popping up.

So yeah, while I agree with you that this might be tough - it might just be the best move they've made in a while. Maybe it'll cause them to pay more attention to fixing bugs, and focus less on solving problems no one has. (Apparently we, as customers, have been dying for an AI button on our keyboard, to easily access an AI feature now baked into the taskbar.)

That makes a lot of sense from a small-business perspective. I appreciate your insight.

Sounds nice, but why use an Nvidia card in a purpose-built Linux box? Obviously they must have made it work well with their default OS options, but it just feels like extra hurdles for them to work through.

Also, why not support AMD for actually appearing to give a shit about Linux open-source drivers? I was a longtime Nvidia user but switched to AMD on my latest build. Given how much better everything seems to work out of the box, they've earned my loyalty for the foreseeable future.

This article should have been titled, "Why the fuck does my mouse need an AI chat -prompt builder?"

Seriously. I want my mouse to do one job - move around the screen and let me click on stuff.

Sigh

I hate myself for buying my last two Paradox DLC at full price. I even enjoyed them, I just hate what it says about that company's control over my dopamine.

The DLC will continue until morale improves.

Ah, the ol' "Please use Edge" update screen that pops up every few months.

[–] herrcaptain@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 months ago

Absolutely! I do that all the time.

Beyond that it's legitimately useful for logging into a second account on a site or for various testing purposes as a web developer. Though if you're consistently using it for the former, containers are a better solution.
