  • Why the fuck would you call to set appointments or order food for pickup? What century are you living in that businesses don’t have websites for that. Why are you so lazy that you’re going to force a minimum wage worker to type things into a website that you yourself can access?

    If it’s not an app or website, it’s a scam.


  • Nah I’m just not. Never before in history were you expected to just interrupt someone’s day that’s thousands of miles away.

    I’d rather send a letter written with a quill than have to call someone. Hell if your business only accepts walk ins and calls I’m going to assume you’re illegally operating and have something to hide. I’d trust a business that only responds to emails over one that only takes calls.







  • 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.


  • When did academic journals just start publishing nonsense? When did conspiracy theories like a shadow cabal of evil people that record the rich and powerful abusing children become obvious reality? When did literally hundreds of government officials state UFOs are real, they’re not human, and there’s a good chance they’re not natural phenomena?

    Science only has trust if you can trust those with the means to verify the work, do actually verify the work. The reproducibility crisis in all scientific fields was at a peak before LLMs were on every single phone; now there no such thing as trustworthy peer reviewed research that can be reproduced, even if the money was there to test everything that was published.

    Tl;Dr the entire scientific world lost credibility and a whole lot of conspiracies were proven real as more CIA docs got declassified. Anything might be true at this point.






  • …why did the single most transformative event in terms of working from home on non work supplied devices change how companies deploy apps?

    That obvious question and answer aside, everything has been moving from installed apps to web apps over the last decade. Office365 was the nail in the coffin for traditionally deployed applications, as now businesses didn’t need to update a hundred thousand deployments, just have them login in like they have always done. Not to mention web apps also tend to work on phones and tablets without any addition development work or training.

    Have you just been out of it for the last decade or what? Have you just been out of a job for that entire time? Especially with how we assembly has been developed there are exceedingly few cases where you need to have anything but a browser installed for work. I’ve been with three companies in the last 5 years. The only system requirements was a chrome browser and fast enough hard lines internet. Two of those companies were fortune 100, so its not like this is just happening with startups using SaaS providers to cut down on costs.



  • Not really. Most people under 25 grew up on Chromebooks, not windows. Most people over 25 that aren’t tech savvy have been systematically moved to exclusively use web apps for whatever thing they’re doing. And based on browser numbers they can recognize a chrome logo to click on.

    Anyone even slightly tech savvy, and I’m including people that use a computer for anything other than web based apps as tech savvy, has heard of Linux and can figure out what pretty icon to click on.

    This isn’t 1994, Ubuntu was made for the iPhone generation, windows 11 was made for the iPhone generation. They’re both babby mode oses for people that think google is a program.
