I was installing something decades ago that set the default runlevel to 6 and inserted itself as a runlevel 6 service. It would reboot until it had finished the changes it wanted to make and then set the runlevel back. Weirdest trash software. The service stayed to “apply updates on reboot”

I’m glad I don’t have to work there anymore.

Quick, we need a word for enshittified enshittification!

No, that’s the code for a screen shot…

As an American, I approve of this statement.

Won’t anyone think of the bacteria?

Lol. No shit, Sherlock. We’ve been screaming this for decades.

I think that’s the problem though, isn’t it. It is other people’s work, condensed down into what could semi-accurately be called a statistics based random word generator. If LLMs were good at it or had people checking behind then that were good we wouldn’t be in this mess in the first place.

True, but printing presses errored in consistent ways and could easily be fixed by someone literate in the language being printed. The only black boxes were the cases containing letter stamps. The smashing was happening because of what was being printed, and not because suddenly statistically relevant portions of the workforce were now unemployed and possibly unemployable. The situation is a bit different…

Bet. I’ve always wanted a gay frog.

Are we not telling them that they misspelled “Trout”?

I would disagree that omission is not malicious; the intent of the omitter can be any reason. Perhaps not malicious in every case, but it could be as ill-meaning as any lie.

Perhaps for your specific case. I was referring to the more general “supermarket food stealing” sort of situation.

Yeah, my wife and I have been using it for about that long too. Best $5 I’ve ever spent, and would be ok spending $20 now considering how much it has improved our shopping in general.

The lists don’t have to be groceries. And are synced across every device that’s on the account. Pay once for what is likely any number of devices (if there’s a limit we haven’t yet reached it). Android and iThing interoperability.

Because one is a crime poor people do against rich people, and the other is a crime rich people do against poor people.

Well, that was usually accurate though. Co-authored by Copilot was likely not.

Shit scripting, or shitting

Snore louder to assert my dominance.

But for real, you do get used to it. I’ve found I don’t snore as loudly when side sleeping vs on my back. I need quiet to get to sleep but not to stay asleep, while my partner will tolerate some noise. So I usually try to fall asleep first and things work out.

If I don’t, I usually have a tough night. ☺️

Microsoft failed not because of timing, they had the first smartphone os. They weren’t willing to push entertainment. They were targeting business users and enthusiasts, mostly. The same groups that blackberry was targeting.

Blackberry did it better by letting configurations be pushed from a server. Microsoft was content to just make windows, on a phone. “The developers will come.”

In the end, Microsoft realized the power of a centralized app store far too late, and didn’t even go in on it hard enough when they did. The Microsoft store in windows is the same store they pushed for windows phone. They’re still having trouble with it to this day. I still don’t think you can get office delivered via their store.

Its been on the whole time, just a ddos making it hard to get to them.
