The entire site is very obviously AI generated. The fonts, layout, and even the logo are obviously AI. I'm not sure about the content. Maybe the "author" is actually someone really interested in history and just used Claude to generate a frontend for their blog, but I couldn't bring myself to read much of it. Maybe it's just me, but the "AI feel" makes me not want to read sites like this. Feels like a waste of time to read a bunch of (potentially) AI slop that might not even be accurate. I'd be better off just asking Claude why addresses have numbers

So Trump's master plan is to renegotiate the free trade agreement that he already renegotiated during his last term? He obviously has no idea what he's doing. Is there even a point in signing treaties with the United States when you guys will just keep electing madmen that want to tear everything up every 4 years?

Are you running a 15 year old netbook or something? I've never noticed any input lag in VSCode or Slack (or any other Electron apps I can think of)

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll add that

The "dead internet" is here, and unfortunately there's no going back

Our work switched from Slack to Teams after an acquisition, and I can confidently say that Teams is just complete garbage compared to Slack.

- The interface is laggy

- Scrolling back in long messages is buggy, it often skips around and loses its place

- No built in "whiteboarding" tools in screen sharing

- Teams will often keep ringing on my phone for up to a minute after I picked up a call on my laptop

- Sometimes I can't click reactions on messages. I click the emoji and nothing happens

Overall, it's just poorly made software. It feels like something that was made by a couple of interns in their spare time, not a keystone product from a multi-billion dollar company

You can get a fever, aches, and headaches from the cold as well

It's just a personal preference. I can't tell you why, but I just don't like how all of the programs start with K. I think it looks weird.

It also annoys me every time I try to search for the calculator by typing in "Calc", but nothing is found because I forgot I need to look for "KCalc"

I think at the very least, commonly used applications like "Calculator", "Console", "Mail" should just be called "Calculator", "Console", and "Mail". Not everything has to be branded. The mail application on Windows is called "Mail", the terminal is called "Terminal", etc. They don't call them "WinMail" or "WinTerminal" for a reason. They know most users would find that off putting

Are you certain you're getting the flu every year? Do you get tested for it?

A lot of people assume they have the flu when it's really a bad cold

All KDE tools have terrible names IMO

It's a bit different since Trump's kids were all political figures in his nepotistic administration

aspect-ratio is a new standard, so don't feel too bad about that
