    You mean like complaining on the Internet about a throwaway joke in a webcomic?

    The Friends dig was just a utilitarian punchline for the comic to add some comedy to the informative nature of the first panel. I dunno why people take things to heart so much when there really are so, so many better shows than Friends. The comic doesn’t even say that Friends is bad, just that there’s better. Show viewing options have expanded and improved a lot since 1994.


  • Some people don’t mind sharing the land they have with them. Especially as the land available to wildlife decreases year on year.

    Personally I’ll take insects and native rodents over sterile trimmed grass any day, especially for the front yard which doesn’t even get used aside from a ‘keeping up with the Joneses’ style lawn and garden manicure unspoken competition.





  • The same reality where GPT5’s launch a couple months back was a massive failure with users and showed a lot of regression to less reliable output than GPT4? Or perhaps the reality where most corporations that have used AI found no benefit and have given up reported this year?

    LLMs are good tools for some uses, but those uses are quite limited and niche. They are however a square peg being crammed into the round hole of ‘AGI’ by Altman etc while they put their hands out for another $10bil - or, more accurately while they make a trade swap deal with MS or Nvidia or any of the other AI orobouros trade partners that hype up the bubble for self-benefit.


  • I think you are enormously overestimating their abilities to:

    A) reflect on poor management decisions that hurt users. They have increased their company valuation TEN-fold under Satya Nadella over the last 11 years, and his push to cannibalise the hosted-services partners and Gold partners with Azure/365 made them a lot of ground before then. They became the second company ever to reach a valuation of $3T back in 2024. If you think a (globally) handful of unhappy home OS users will cause then to change course - I don’t think so, certainly never been my experience with MS.

    B) win back most of the users they have lost to Windows. Why would those users return? They have what they need with their new solutions, and moving to them was a time and education cost that they have now fully paid, they’re invested. They’d have to have something very compelling to bring them back beyond, "hey guys we stopped being shit! ######for now "
