It's kinda like Apple where they both benefit from and also are hurt by the fact that putting "Apple" in the name makes more people click.

Added exposure/free marketing when the news is good. But then if the Duo is having some issues with cracked screens, that'll also get more attention.

I get glass vs finish. But there's a third term being used for the new M6 MacBook Pro, which is nano-texture "display." Someone clarified that it's the same as the "glass" so I take this to just be Day 1 marketing confusion that'll hopefully get cleaned up on the buying screen.

Nano-texture upgrade option is coming for the whole line of products.

Edit: the thing I'm confused about is it seems there are at least two but maybe three different things that they are calling "nano-texture". On buying screens, the Studio Display and iPad Mini say "Nano-texture glass" and the new MacBook Pro says "Nano-texture display." But the Duo marketing says "Nano-texture finish."

I get that the internal Duo screen has the film over it and so it says "finish," but is there a difference between "glass" and "display"?

I'm not pretending there isn't very real risk of retribution, but I do think this can be done under the protections under the NLRA so long as it's done right (as in, seek legal guidance first).

This also isn't to fault anyone who instead chooses to leave, instead.

I also think your comments diminishes the actual impact lots of folks have had, such as stopping donation to certain PACs. Relative to many other groups of workers, tech workers actually have more leverage.

My issue with "tech bro" is that men who are discriminatory or otherwise offensive often aren't well-understood as fitting into any type of bro culture at all.

Like I don't think it's true that the men in tech who work out or watch sports or whatever are worse than other men in tech. The "bro" part is kinda nonsensical.

I used a classless CSS framework once, for a project where I wanted a non-technical coworker to update an HTML file repeatedly throughout the week and then upload it to AWS/s3. I wanted it to be as simple for them as possible, to minimize errors, and it worked great.

I'm not sure what other use cases are, but it's also just true that limitations can be fun.

Wayback Machine confirms it was there a few days ago.

People are just never happy and always going to have something to say. Even if you don't go the AI route and hire an illustrator, even if you credit work, someone has to be critical.

The creators of indie games are never limited by their programming skills?!

This is why no code / low code is exciting. It will allow people who excel in what you call the "most important" parts to be able to create games.

Now, I don't think Google Playground is the best demonstration of this point, given it's intended to be quick turnaround. None of what's shown in the demo video is particularly thoughtful. But it still is a good indication of things to come.
