@retechI especially dislike the technical nature of these euphemisms: it implies a precision and omniscience that simply isn’t possible.
It’s just killing people. I get that this is what armies do, but in theory there is a reason. By making it technical do they think the absence of a coherent reason won’t matter?
Yes.

YouTube is continuing their assault on "hand que'd" videos.But you couldn't possibly know what you want to watch! Let the program tell you what to watch... please ... please...

@hypostaseThere is nothing elegant or honorable about the "geek tax" and it's not some accomplishment to know how to pay it and get out of the slop machine.
It's like bragging that you brought your own life vest while everyone around you is drowning.

What is the purpose of jargon?Why can ya'll just say what you are really doing? Are you ashamed? I would be ashamed if I were you. I get it.

I have more respect for a phrase like "waste disposal technician" (garbage man)

US hardware and software revenue fell dramatically in November 2025 breaking internal tracking records, according to data from CircanaWhat is the purpose of paying for software when a company like Adobe treats you like a free software user and keeps adding things to the app that you don't want and failing to fix the things that make using it harder?
You can *buy* a television *subscribe* to streaming ... but you still need to see ads.
Even minecraft shows ads on the loading screen.

@hypostaseYou could disrupt the whole universe by simply making fun easy to use *user-centric* software that didn't require your "geek tax"
You want disruptive? That would be it.

YouTube is continuing their assault on "hand que'd" videos.What would it feel like to not feel like I'm always fighting with the damn software?
What if you made the software actually help me for once?

YouTube is continuing their assault on "hand que'd" videos.YouTube is continuing their assault on "hand que'd" videos. That is the practice of marking the videos you want to see and watching them on a play list.
They just pushed a new update that tries to hide the queue if you don't open it again. It also tries to replace the queue with a list they made (their algorithm) unless you keep navigating back to it.
The moment this breaks I'm gone.
I'm not gonna let ya'll pick what I watch. I don't trust you.

Remember: If you have #Acrobat Reader installed on your work computer, periodically check it to ensure that its #AI features are switched _off_, because the software will switch it on even after you have previously switched it off.We may need to find an alternative for the student yearbook and newspaper club because of this nonsense.
Which makes me happy in a way FOSS til the end and all.
HOWEVER these are student run clubs, *they* choose the software because it's what college an other student groups use. Now we come in and say "no no no" not a great look.

This has bothered me for decades.I think it's also slowed down so gotta learn that time travel jump off too.

Which is a little paranoid.

Pica.Pica. I don't know how to say this nicely but I don't like your "song." I just don't think it's very good. It's too repetitive and discordant and it has too much RAW RAR and no real ... flow?
I just don't think it's ever going to be popular so I don't know why you keep at it.

It's all about protecting the Paedo in the White House, that's all that country does now....I have a tiny sliver of respect for that I suppose... you know, like one of those bits of glass you get in your foot and you know it's there but can't see it.

I think it's rather like having a pet bear.

They are like an old friend.
You notice things about them if you visit more than once... they have good days and bad ones, they sometimes move the queen but I don't know if anyone has caught this happening.
They are at war with their keepers (like all ants) they keep little compost piles to make soil to block openings and reduce light. You can always find one ant who has gotten over the mote.
I love them.
