I had someone speed up to scare me and call me a bitch when I was using a zebra crossing… he wouldn’t have even been close if he was going the posted speed.
Cloud-based. If a product won't work if my internet dies, or I can't access my data without internet or a subscription, I won't buy it.
There is a letter G in the word recognise. Bloody use it. What people all say is "reckonise" which is not the same word. Also driving on the left just makes way more sense.
Search engines should not use locational data including IP address to provide "more relevant" results. Checking for restaurants or weather forecast? You should have to manually add the relevant search terms. Want results in a specific language? You should have to manually apply this filter.
Convenience is not worth the potential harm of locationally biased search results.
For example, where I live is like White Nationalist Central Station. My search results are thus far more likely to net me results with a pro-US/nationalist skew, thus potentially entrenching or normalizing harmful beliefs.
Whenever I've tried bringing this up with Techlords, I get a feeble, "B-but then you couldn't say 'restaurants near me' UnU" and like ... good? It's not like it's hard to type city and state in the search field.
I've never found a search engine that even has this as an option. Even Sear XNG instances net results that are clearly aligned with the location of the instances server.
A Kagi dev even lied to me when I was looking into that as an alternative, saying they don't use location, when it's pretty easy to determine that they do.
I also don't want a "good" algorithm. I also don't want to see big corporate sites prioritized either. If some backwoods nobody has a site that's more relevant, show it to me. I feel like pre-Google search engines were better, but that's another vent for another day.
Now where did I put my false teeth and walker???
The first time i searched for a business online the results came from a city on the other side of the planet. I'm ok with getting search results in my area.
There absolutely was a cornucopia in the fruit of the loom logo. That is the sole reason I know what a cornucopia is. It wasn't on any table or in any thanksgiving decoration in my childhood, it isn't a popular thing to exist in media, it was an obscure item that was a main part of an underwear logo.
Anyone that says differently is objectively wrong. I don't know why the logo changed and why besides a patent entry even the company itself denies it. I don't really care if this is an alternate earth or aliens or time travellers or an entirely natural quirk of existing in a quantum universe, but I know for an absolute fact the sole reason I know what a cornucopia is is because of my underwear, and not because my dick is coincidentally called the horn of plenty.
It is NOT "habañero." If you pronounce a "y" in the word, you're commiting what's called a "hyper-foreignism" where you over apply something you learned a foreign culture does.
It's just an N sound. Habanero.
It's not even my culture/language but damn this gets under my collar.
Niche pronounced with a "ch" sound is wrong and dumb and I hate you
On that note: cache
Omg, I always pronounced it niche. Then slowly over the years I've gaslit myself into believing it's nitch because that's all I ever hear
Using the term ‘assless chaps’ infuriates me and I will not let that aggression stand, man.
All chaps are assless. Chaps with asses are pants.
Fight me.
If a motorcycle has to be ear-splittingly loud for "safety", then it's too dangerous to be road legal.
It's explicitly the opposite, scientifically, according to my safety class
The deep rumble being loud overwhelms anyone's ability to properly locate the bike quickly, and they demonstrated this live. It's definitely harder to locate a LOUDER bike
Pineapple is a legitimate pizza topping lol
Legitimate? Sure. As good as other options? Hell nah, brother. I've got too many other delicious options that take up cheese space to waste on pineapple.
Using tabs for document management (f.e. Browsers, Text-Editors, ...) was a mistake. It would be way better if every document (website, text-file, image, console, ..) was in its own window, centrally managed by an intelligent window manager of the OS that allows quick and easy search between all documents like with a full-text searchable exposè-like view.
Using tabs for document-management was a bad but necessary workaround because Windows is a horrible window manager (despite its name, ironically).
Tabs work best when there is a fixed amount of them (Like with game settings: Controls, Audio, Video, Gameplay).
I could go on for quite a while on this, but I think this is where I stop.
so basically GNU/Linux Window Managers also GNU/Emacs
That sounds like tabs with extra steps.
