Rather than blogging about new topics, I wonder if the author has considered joining a forum. Creating a forum thread is typically simpler and less formal than a blog post. Forums are also designed for topical discussions, unlike blogs which encourage a one-way communication

The point is that you can buy a book for a few bucks, read it, and have its insights completely available to you. But people are demanding that LLM companies pay far more to publishers for the same copies

It's entirely reasonable to expect the basic functionality of document and spreadsheet editors to edit documents and spreadsheets. If an editor no longer can edit, it's no longer functional. Microsoft seems to know this which is why they removed the "continue to function" clause from their end-of-support page.

Unfortunately this kind of thing will continue since Microsoft can survive any slap on the wrist that might come their way for their sleazy practices. They've done it countless times throughout their existence. It has been paying off enough for them to keep doing it.

Have you tried a darker background but with an inverted color filter on the text? (I'd try it myself but I'm not at my computer for this post)

This feels like a modern version of people writing regex to validate email addresses: employing a complicated, yet incomplete roll-your-own approach as the wrong solution to a problem

It's the Google AMP controversy all over again

It's why Google successfully pushed for people to use their real identities online initially through Google Plus and why they also displayed such an unprecedented backlash against the AdNauseum browser extension after it came out

You can refuse to "upgrade". Previous versions of Photoshop still work well

Universties usually have restricted access and a userbase of people who are more intelligent than the general population. They should have much higher hope than popular social media sites that cater to the bottom of the barrel

If you need to sloganize a reminder to yourself to not be evil, that's not a promising sign

Is it really worth the tradeoffs of having significantly smaller storage space, reduced screen size, and clicking through way more often, just to not have to move your eyes as much horizontally?

Why is the government making efforts to increase technological literacy not an option?
