Companies like Apple spent a lot to create a switching cost in almost every product. The "bubble" color is also a HUGE thing in the US, and is often times the sole reason for not wanting to leave iMessage.

I have heard "lint" or "delint"/"delinting" in terms of checking scripts for syntax errors and such, I have never heard it used in terms of deduping a filesystem, since that already has a term for it.

I feel like at least with American english people have taken a lot of liberties in how they spell a name and then want it pronounced.

And I first read it as Ra-sh, but also could see it as Ray-sh.

What did you do to "teach it"?

Pedo/predators given access to a new AI tool to allow them to make videos for children, what could go wrong? /s

Maybe it's just a US thing, but calling orange juice just OJ is very common.

Capitalism doesn't reward shareholders for preparing for a downturn, the system demands profits must go up before any other considerations.

And the companies themselves can't be trusted to do the right thing, that's why taxes should help pay for an oversight group to "keep them honest". And when caught skirting regulation they should be fined accordingly, and increasing fines for repeated offences. And if they still can't follow the rules shut them down and have them pay for it.

Some chemicals that may be linked to autism, but they are rolling back regulations that are linked to all sorts of things worse. And with the amount of time it takes to put any of this regulation in place it'll be decades just to reverse it all, but the world will be a much more toxic place by then when coupled with his attacks on the climate also.

Which is wild when they are working on a new very ambitious game right now.

It boggles my mind that all these power companies aren't building out solar and wind everywhere they can. The return on investment alone has to be better than constantly buying/obtaining fossil fuels. I would think maintenance overhead would also be less as well.

Yep, they'll enforce rolling blackouts before they make the LLMs scale back anything.

In another (better) timeline governments would stop giving these people handouts and make them responsible for funding and maintaining their own power.
