Well, you do also have what you could call atheist extrimists. Richard Dawkins is pretty well known for his lack of tolerance towards religion that in my opinion isn’t much different in its intensity from religious extrimists’ opposition to non-their religion. Don’t get me wrong, I’m an atheist myself, I’m just saying that I don’t think that the complete lack of tolerance to the opposing world view is a problem confined to the religious right.

I actually can’t complain. It’s not perfect, but I’m far from being as outraged as the OP. I used to love SwiftKey, it was amazing with text prediction, even when you had two languages on at the same time (I’m bilingual, so it was really handy). Since Microsoft bought it, it started going downhill and when I found that I can’t just transfer my settings when I get a new phone, I switched to Gboard. Again, not perfect, but not terrible either. I will try out some of the recommendation from this thread though.

Could someone ELI5 (if possible) what passkeys actually are?

Lol made me imagine firemen standing next to a burning house and drenching the one next to it with their hoses.

I do the same things. Half of my conversations with people is me first rephrasing everything they said to me to make sure I understood them correctly before I answer their question or address what they said. And I also always want to give relevant answers but find myself circling around them more than I’d like. I didn’t study philosophy tho.

Wait… Did The Onion buy out CNN?

10 minutes? Damn you’re a fast reader…

I use it as my travel agent. It planned my trip to one of a big US cities (did a really good job) and to advise me what I should know as a European driver driving on American roads for the first time.

Edit: Also, Claude by Anthropic is great at re-writing passages of generic text in the style of Donald Trump.

Haha that is such a good point!

So now both his feet are up his ass too 🤔

Not necessarily. I’ve flown on many flights where the first class has its own door at the front of the plane, and the lower classes have their entrances further down the fuselage, so that the first class isn’t bother by the boarding plebs. I fly pleb class btw.

How do you envisage it working in practice? If a plane had a disaster that will make it crash in a matter of minutes, people wouldn’t form an orderly line to jump out with their parachutes. And if the malfunction is not making the plane crash in the next 5 minutes, the plane can probably land safely at the nearest airport.

I’m not sure I can relate to the premise. Sure, I do feel a little spike of pleasure when I buy something technically unnecessary, like another T shirt, or something hobby related, but I wouldn’t say I “go insane” during the weeks I don’t buy such things.

The thing is that despite my original post I actually agree with you and quietly hate myself for being mildly infuriated by this.

I recommend you read my reply to another poster who is mildly infuriated by incorrect grammar.

But - I wouldn’t be surprised actually. What I am surprised with is what kind of applicants I get even with requirements like that (although more precise) in the job ad.

Your first interpretation wasn’t the case in this specific ad, because the “minimum 5-10 year experience” was on the list of “essential experience and skills” and there was a separate list of “desirables”.

Your second explanation just supports my original infuriation - just state the range that you’re interested in, without calling it a minimum.

Actually, I got that job, I’m still working for the company, but to your last point, I have to say it’s hilarious how bad our communications dept is at communicating to the rest of the company.

Or just give the range.

3 days.

I will be the dissenting voice then. Knowing what it is, I started watching it, and watched all the way to something like mid-second season. But then I just stopped and didn’t really miss it.

BB for me was one of those “ok, last episode… … … OK, now really last episode then bed… … … OK, I know I have to wake up in 5 hours, so now really, REALLY last episode then bed.” And so on.

BCS wasn’t like that to me at all.

Not just Amazon. I had a parcel being delivered by DPD while I was on holidays. I checked the delivery’s webpage, which said “if you’re not in, we’ll leave it with your neighbour”. Great!

While I was on holiday, I checked the status on the day of delivery: “you weren’t in, we returned it to DPD depot”. Somewhat annoying, but the depot is only 15 minute drive from mine, I can go collect it then I’m back home.

Checked it again when I got back home: “returned to sender”.

The fun thing was that the item was the modem from my new internet provider, and my old provider was ceasing their services that very day.
