They can try, but it is unlikley to work for long. So my general reaction is:

A lot of my personal dislike for VIM would be done away with if it just had a helpful common keys cheat sheet (basic cursor navigation, edit mode, exit with and without saving, etc) at the bottom of the editor window like Nano does.

Google is making the same mistakes with the watch, fold, and tablet that they originally made when they rebranded the Nexus to the Pixel. Thinking just making it expensive and the customers will just buy it because reasons.

They seem to have come off of that delusion with most of the phones.

They have not provided a reason to buy their expensive, but middle of the road hardware, when cheaper and competitive options already exist from Samsung and Apple in these segments.

Unless someone just dislikes Apple or Samsungs offering what would make the Google offering stand out?

Don't forget to assume what works on macOS also will work fine on a Linux server deployment.

Shit, if a show doesn’t interest me after 30 minutes I’m done with it. If the story only gets interesting after the forced exposition dump part of the script, then the script needed more work before they filmed it. In my opinion anyway.

I can smell the overpriced aftershave and beard balm in this picture.

Yep. People in general have an aversion to doing anything that encourages positive change if it is too inconvenient to how they have become accustom to doing things.

Companies like Alphabet are very aware of this fact. Once the limits of the push back becomes a few weeks of bitching online then everyone gets back to using the products and services, there is no reason to listen to the complaints of the users.

They frame it that way to reenforce the notion that ads are an inevitable thing.

Hey, that sounds like my cloud storage providers auto billing system.

“Your auto renewal will draft on 08/09/23.”

Is that August 9th or September 8th? Literally depends on where the person you ask is in the world.

Yep. My employer has made several decisions I strongly dislike and disagree with over the last year or so. And would have been looking for the door over it if they did not allow full WFH for those that like that setup better.

Now that I have gotten to experience it I don't think I will ever willingly go back to a job that requires mandatory weekly in-office time.

No.

The way Brave goes about making money seems more shady to me than Google. Google tells you exactly what they are going to do if you're paying attention, Brave on the other hand spends its time trying to convince everyone that they are more privacy focused than the likes of Google because they have a more off the radar money making scheme with all of the Crypto junk.

If they are not doing something underhanded with it already, they are one management shakeup from starting to.

Those were actually on different lines when I wrote that. Weird.
