I've been seeing this company in ~all of my searches across various tech topics.

They're absolutely dominating search results. The quality isn't terrible, but there's so much content that I can't trust them to be accurate.

Given that you literally started your response with a pleasant agreement and affirmation on my point makes feel like you are arguing this in bad faith, but if statements like, "how was your weekend" included in an ask cause you distress then you are so maladapt to society to the point that you should have close to zero expectations for others to accommodate your needs in public spaces such as a work environment. You almost exclusively have the responsibility to regulate your emotions or not expose yourself to situations where people might include a hollow inquiry into your weekend in their written communications.

Asking people not to include minor pleasantries in their written communication isn't a "reasonable" request for anything larger than a small group of people.

> If x finds preamble unpleasant, but you use unnecessary preamble when communicating with x, that won't help you be perceived as pleasant to work with.

Absolutely! But OP isn't suggesting preamble is unpleasant, they are saying there is little or even no value and to remove it altogether.

Even if OP did in fact mean to suggest this when speaking to them directly, it is unbelievably selfish to ask (let alone _beg_) someone to eschew their voice just so you don't have to read a few more words and "waste calories" to gather the information they believe is important.

The pleasantries and preambles and hollow words _are_ important. People might be adding them without having deep thoughts on them to the point where they explicitly include them, but they want to signal to you that they consider your humanity. That signal isn't noise, it's a very minute sign of camaraderie. If OP doesn't value that signal, that's fine, but pretending it's noise is antisocial.

Asking (begging?) people to communicate with you in a certain way because you think it is depriving you of your attention(time?) is _much_ more selfish because you are depriving people of the opportunity to control how they are perceived.

How and what people think of me is extremely important to me. I want to be perceived as someone who is effective _and_ pleasant to work with. Changing my voice to suit your inability to summarize and interpret the ideas being communicated is selfish and antisocial behavior.

You are not a being of pure logic. The way I say something to you _will_ effect your perception of me AND the topic at hand.

> Politeness has a place, but I beg you put clarity first.

Having conversations with little-to-no noise as possible has a place, but I beg you to consider that the person conversing with you has a baseline level of empathy and ego and is not a p-zombie.

Wanting to be seen a certain way is just as (if not more) important than the extremely minor distress you feel by having to read some extra words.

Love this! Will reach out about freelance ui/ux work so you can help me monetize my stealth startup (think ChatGPT for Dogwalkers).

> If LLMs really multiply productivity, why would you fire people and handicap the boost?

Presumably, because some of these areas are cost centers versus profit generating.

That particular benefit has no value if you still need to support v4.

It's almost a self-inflicted tragedy of the commons or reverse network-effect.

Adopting IPv6 doesn't alleviate the pain of IPv4 exhaustion if you still need to support dual-stack.

> A sharp knife is SAFER than a dull one.

I do a lot of cooking and own quite a few kitchen knives, most of which have bitten me at some point. I understand the idea around sharp knives being safer...but I don't agree.

If a razor sharp 210mm Japanese carbon steel knife touches your finger, it's split open and might need stitches or glue. A less-sharp knife would need more weight behind it to cut effectively which can lead to you completely severing a finger, but simple slices are a much more likely scenario than your finger being completely under the knife to the point where it's effectively a digit-guillotine.

You can also use passkeys so you aren't tied to a centralized SSO provider.

But if you make something that's as smart as a sloppy intern and costs even a small amount less, you're making an unbelievable amount of money off it.

You could just disable cdn/caching.

Tailscale funnels do work, but it's public only. No auth.

I generally prefer tailscale and trust them more than cloudflare to not rug-pull me on pricing, but the two features that push me towards cloudflared is the custom domains and client-less access. I could probably set it up with caddy and some plugins, but then I still need to expose the service and port forward.

I have the same z13 gen one, but my m1 is a Pro.

I do absolutely love the z13 and prefer it most of the time...but I definitely would not call the battery life "all day" or even "almost all day"
