How about LaTeX vulnerabilities? :-D

I think they’re working on their new Cosmic desktop. It looks promising but it’s delaying the update of the OS.

Yes, unfortunately.

I’d lean this way too.

Had similar problems when a fan stopped on my CPU.

Saving a click: the industry is “child surveillance“.

Yeah, it’s as creepy as it sounds.

Button that doesn’t look like a button.

Unclear phrasing…

Now, am I saying it’s impossible to understand? No. Do I think it rises to the level of law-suit worthy? Barely.

Is it anticonsumer and intentionally designed so as to make it more difficult to unsubscribe and put up barriers to get people to stay? Absolutely.

They’re both anti-consumer; the difference is in the degree.

Autoexec.bat or bust!

Still takes more work than just giving them that information.

We were talking about twitter. Stay with the program please.

Nope.

as a user, “you retain your rights to any Content you submit, post or display on or through the Services. What’s yours is yours you own your Content (and your photos and videos are part of the Content),” although you also grant Twitter a license to use the content, which authorizes it “to make your Content available to the rest of the world and to let others do the same.” Based on this language, other twitter users are also licensed to copy and redistribute your posts by “retweeting” them.

You do have some control, in the form of copyright. Also the analogy doesn’t hold up well since you’re not using their “pen” and they only let you reach inside through the window. And the audience is outside the house.

Fair enough to feel that way, but we’re taking about windows here.

It’s not about whether you know how to turn it off; it’s about the fact that you have to do that at all. Also that you’ll have to do it again when Microsoft decides to reset the option behind your back. And pushes you away from changing it (default browser option). And ignores it (default browser option).

The general feel of it all is incredibly frustrating.

Then what are these?

I also remember seeing Candy Crush appear mysteriously without any prompting…

“Diacritics” is the word you are looking for.

And unfortunately the kind of people who decide whether people get to board a plane do care about that stuff.

And the terminology is misleading, resulting in problems. shrug.

“Changes” are not the same thing as “files”.

I’d expect that files that are not in version control would not be touched.

I dunno, “discard changes” is usually not the same as “delete all files”

it would be impossible to child lock the door

Good. I’d rather have people teach their children not to fling themselves out of a moving car, than have them burn to death because they can’t get out.
