I’ve got an idea as to why.

I went to mastodon.social and see a Linux meme, some heavy political commentary, and a bunch of posts about mastodon being better than Twitter.

I then went to bluesky.app and see some political riffing, cute animals, a comic, some jokes, a company, and even Don Lemon.

The average person checking them both out for the first time, mastodon is nerd shit and Bluesky is normal shit.

That fight is in my top 10 gaming experiences for sure

Every generation thinks they invented the things they appropriated

No, dad, I need to kill Raphael!

I’m not sure what’s worse…implying that 99% of humans are insects or that the 1% is better than the rest

I feel like dragged predates slammed as slang but it definitely wasn’t popular headline material

What a name lol

He is up by FIVE MILLION votes as of this comment. Fuck the red states

Why do people like things that I don’t like? I don’t understand

Menards used to be way cheaper than Home Depot but now they’re about the same except Home Depots are usuallymuch cleaner

I probably wouldn’t have kept playing it if a friend didn’t buy it for me and insist so I get it!

I thought the story of Control was just ok but the gameplay was awesome.

It didnt land on my Top 25 list BUT…that one level (people who played it know exactly which I mean) was easily one of the best sequences I’ve ever played. I have no idea how they made it feel like you were still in control (hehe) as everything around you went crazy.

Unfortunately that level is very late in the game otherwise I’d implore you to stick it out to see it. But since you quit so early because you weren’t having fun, you probably will continue to not have fun until that part.

I didn’t say there was no use, I said there was very little benefit.

Your only reasoning for saying it will be something people wouldn’t be able to live without is that it will save you time when you forget to bookmark something you want to find 6 months ago. I don’t find that compelling at all and I can’t fathom it being a “must have” feature for 99.99% of people.

To your edit, it is unquestionably a trade off. You are being monitored by Microsoft. Screenshots of your computer will be uploaded to their servers regularly. It doesn’t matter what happens with them - that information is now out there. Even if it was impossible to hack Microsoft (lol), there is no way to spin this to say you aren’t giving up privacy. Until this is feature is completely offline with no telemetry going to a corporation, it is a privacy nightmare.

Windows 11 is free and as the saying goes, “if you’re not paying for it, YOU are the product.” So yes, most people think this is bad no matter what.

FWIW I did not downvote either of your comments

So what you’re saying is…if you remember to save things, you’re giving up your privacy/security for nothing?

Those are such weak use cases for letting Microsoft take screenshots of my computer like the DPRK. The one time a year I might find it useful is just not worth the risk. And I really don’t like this being thrust upon less-techy people who don’t understand what they’re giving up.

What is important about this?

What will this allow me to do that I wasn’t able to before?

What benefit does this feature have to the average user? What about the power user?

To add your last paragraph - today’s robot may be worse but next year’s robot might not be. And with how far Boston Dynamics (and others) have come in such a short time, it’s not hard to imagine that future getting here soon.

Corporations have shown time and time again they fire people by the thousands as soon as it’s financially viable and since this tech will be implemented quickly across the industry, those ex-employees won’t be able to find work. Governments need to start taking UBI seriously if they don’t want to massive civil unrest.

As much as I cringe at the “come and take it” crowd, a lot of them work these at-risk jobs. They will take their anger at their ex-employee and aim it at the government.

Hey to each their own! Apple’s hardware design in that era always makes me think of crappy protective cases. I really didn’t like how the opaque parts were behind thick clear shells. Or like…have you ever seen wooden furniture in a public place that has like 5mm of protective clear coat on it to the point that it looks plastic?

Sorry for the essay, I had not thought about what I specifically disliked until now lol
