Just wanted to chime in and say that OP’s experience is exactly how it would go down at my workplace too, despite the deluge of downvotes they’re getting, and I also likely would have looked at alternatives instead of proposing it, for the sake of my professional reputation. I think it’s likely true for a ton of people.

That’s not to say that people aren’t being over-serious if they see the original branding and balk at it, but that’s out of OP’s hands.

Also, don’t use Brave.

Brendan Eich is both vocally and financially opposed to LGBT+ equality. The browser has actively enabled targeted ads. They’ve actively promoted crypto and have been in bed with specific crypto brokers to promote its use. They’ve been adding their own promo codes to URLs for private benefit.

They don’t give a shit about privacy. Don’t touch them with a barge pole.

That’s all well and good, but in Scrabble, GOOGLE only scores 8 whereas YANDEX scores 17.

With the BBC, bear in mind that the party in power always has their thumb on the scale. They’re not Pravda, but they’re not wholly unbiased, to say the least.

100%. I’m not quite as ardently anti-Windows as most on this community from a UI/UX standpoint, but both Bluetooth and audio device switching are genuinely terrible experiences in Windows. I find myself pairing audio devices from scratch all the time on my work laptop, and it’s painful every time.

No, but he could definitely pull some strings to get IANA to add .trump as a new gTLD (honestly, I’m surprised it hasn’t already happened - I had to check) and the government has no obligation to continue using .us or .gov as far as I know.

Generally a good approach, but…

Do you have to use or choose to use AI products? Why not use every single one of those tokens available to your subsidized subscription? Did your search engine build in a “free” AI product? Ask it as many useless questions as you’d like. Getting emails from AI agents? Why not chat with them and lead them on until they hit a billing wall?

Good thing the planet’s not dying.

I thought the same initially, especially since American Paint Horse is a common enough breed.

It’s called the Red Bridge or the Moon Bridge in Yongqingfang, a tourist area in Liwan, Guangzhou, in southern China.

Great job you “animal loving” fucking hypocrites.

Who are you referring to with this last bit? Doesn’t seem likely to be the Department of Agriculture or the FSIS, but no one else is mentioned in the article (unless I missed it).

To scale horizontally, they’re using the chard pattern.

The Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery has a ton of excellent detail on this piece; it’s quite interesting.

You fill it via the small reservoir at the top, it drains through the handle and fills the main reservoir at the bottom. You then drink pour through the spout. There’s no real prank aspect on this one (no hidden hole to plug with your finger, for example) but it’s been heavily restored so perhaps it was originally more puzzling.

You wouldn’t want the comments to be watered down, surely?

We’re not all Byrons either, apparently.

I’ve never heard of Gesse Faden.

I think that question is best posed to the Joint Photographic Experts Group, better known as “jay-fegg”.

(For the record, I’m in camp “G as in Graphic”, but it’s still true that an acronym’s source words don’t dictate the pronunciation.)

I guess the author realized after posting that having the MAGA fish be on the right made more sense?

I don’t mind the AI stuff now I can turn it off, but yesterday’s release notes for Firefox 155.0 focus primarily on new AI features.

Honestly looks like it, since it’s not been inked! There’s someone who sneaks into the monastery at night and adds ducks to all their new manuscripts.
