This is an interesting notion I hadn’t considered at all, you may be on to something there.

What an idiotic article, from the headline down.

Locally replacing some letters with some other letters is going to make Microsoft’s CEO cry? Really?

Also, I’ll not be using Chrome, lol.

When Firefox started recording key strokes

Source? That’s news to me, and when I tried finding a source myself, all I found were extensions etc. to add that to the browser.

EDIT: Both the comment I replied to, and a comment replying to me by the same person, have been deleted…were they caught in a lie/mistake and not brave enough to admit it? lol

I remember the joke that Microsoft called it that deliberately so that if people wrote “I hate ME” it wouldn’t sound like they were trashing the OS.

You thought that because the headline is pretty deliberately misleading. Clickbait trash.

The article is clear the broken update effects a specific subset of enterprise users, on a specific mix of base versions and cumulative updates.

So you admit the headline is lying, then? The headline doesn’t even try to use weasel words to say “some users”, it just straight-up says that the update removes things, heavily implying both that it’s a global change, and that it’s deliberate.

It isn’t necessary.

That’s not the number of people using Amazon, that’s the number of people paying for a premium subscription service on top of their Amazon usage. No one, whether they buy things on Amazon or not, needs Prime.

That is the point they’re making.

Is there another more ‘generic’ German term that would fit when talking about this period of time in retrospect? So you could have one line that says the German equivalent of ‘he was the leader in Germany during this time period, commonly referred to by the title Fuhrer’, and then no need to keep using “Fuhrer” anymore in the rest of the article.

I’ve got a worthless degree i deeply regret

Meanwhile, not far from this comment is someone claiming no one regrets getting their degree, lol.

“Daily murder” is a sneaky rhetorical maneuver, considering it’s something influenced more by raw population size, than by capita. It’s easy for there to be a “daily murder” in a country of 340,000,000 people, even when the overwhelmingly vast majority of people do not murder.

Using “few” to trivialize/minimize the racism is no better.

Shame on you for this disingenuousness.

Knowing that Europe literally has a problem with its soccer audiences making monkey noises at black athletes makes this particular bit of condescension all the more ridiculous.

The issue here is that the authorities are letting a piece of half-ass code (Read: AI) decide what is a legitimate threat and, worse still, acting on that determination without question.

Yeah, at the very least, the software should be passing on the statement, and context surrounding it, along with its ‘judgment’, to the authorities, putting all the responsibility for making the call that X genuinely merits action on said authorities.

Of course, that’s just one piece of the puzzle, and not a solution if law enforcement isn’t held accountable when they fuck up.

I understand that’s the sequence of events, but, my point is that this isn’t worthy of a headline, not yet.

A safe drug that doesn’t work doesn’t matter. It only matters once it’s proven safe and effective.

In the first clinical trial of its kind, a nonhormonal oral contraceptive that reversibly stops sperm production has just been deemed safe for human use…The trial did not assess the pill’s efficacy in reducing sperm

Uh, lol…I have to admit, I’m not really going to start caring about whether it’s safe until I know that it actually does what it’s trying to do.

How can you even honestly say it’s a “contraceptive that reversibly stops sperm production” without qualification, if you haven’t even determined it fucking works, yet?

Zero pregnacerating.

most of the admins were revealed to have .gov emails

I remember reading that this was something someone just made up and was spread a bunch, but wasn’t true at all.

There are so many better ones out there and they’re not filled

Sucks that it has to

It doesn’t have to.
