I guess the ultimate solution would have been to make consumer safety laws about this. Don't rely on the company to make safe products out of the goodness of their hearts.

The latest episode of Starfleet Academy starts with a strobe warning for photosensitive people. What I want to know is: If they know that it's dangerous, why did they make it that way? It'd be like if they were allowed to just make cereal boxes that said "Warning: Some of our boxes may contain broken glass".

For all the stories of mythology, there's, like, a person that made them up. Often, they've been elaborated on, so there's a person that made up each element. If I had a time machine, it'd be fun to go find the person that made up basilisks. Or, like, medusa. I want to see what the circumstances were of someone making up this stuff for the first time.

I don't only want them to not talk to me; I don't want them to look in my direction.

Nazis keep saying that all their criminal and immoral behavior is justified because the stock market is doing well, so the only logical conclusion is that we need to crash the economy.

Okay, I'm going to make an exception: you can change your UI to remove AI features.

Woah, the title screen for the Commodore 64 release of Tetris goes hard!

They always shut down the cool parts of the government that help people and leave the terrible parts of government running.

Apparently, the parts that shouldn't exist are "essential" and the parts that should exist are "nonessential".

I just updated my version of LineageOS on my phone, and there's a bunch of arbitrary UI changes. Sure, I can get used to them, but why should I have to? I have to update my phone for security reasons, and that's why I was doing it. I didn't ask for stuff to be moved around and changed. All the changes feel totally arbitrary.

(This probably isn't a decision by lineageos, but by upstream android).

Doing stuff like this is why people are afraid to update their software.

I have a hot take today:
Never change the UI of your application without allowing the user to experiment with it and approve the changes. You can add new features, but don't change anything that was there already.

This is how you treat APIs already. Treat the UI as an API contract you have with the user. If you must deprecate an old UI, give people plenty of warning and time to switch to the new one.

but how was anyone supposed to know it would be this bad it's not like they wrote up an entire blueprint and published it and everybody was screaming about how this was their exact plan every hour of every day.

This one's my favorite so far.

I don't just want ICE abolished I want the entire concept of passports and borders abolished.

@tasharoni

Yeah, I've only been drinking the water from the 20L jugs. I'm really trying to learn enough Spanish to talk to a politician about what the deal is with the water.

I also got sick too many times from eating out, so we've been making all our own food lately. I don't know how this illness even happened!

The funniest nerdfight is between nerds who thinks its funny to show up to a ren faire in full star trek uniform vs nerds who thinks its funny to show up in correct period costume with a star trek communicator hidden on your person that you can flash and tell the first group of people in a stern tone that they are at risk of violating the prime directive.
