This was comments, not posts. They were using a model to approximate the demographics of a poster, then using an LLM to generate a response counter to the posted view tailored to the demographics of the poster.

Nobody can make a successful browser that is simpler. The moment a user hits a website that no longer works, they are going back to their old browser.

All these new features exist because websites replaced every single program most people used. Web browser now have to be capable of doing anything pretty well. It’s not some grand conspiracy to take over the internet, it’s providing the features devs want so they can deliver the things they want in the modern multiplatform no-install world.

It’s sort of like the dual pronunciation of the word ‘a’ in English. While that has more distinct rules, it’s still mostly which one feels nicer.

That title is a straight-up lie. 2080 missiles did not vanish. The operational payload of US Navy ships is reducing by 2080 missiles due to missile-focused craft reaching end of life without replacements.

“Recently” being one Reddit post three years ago about needing to manually index the color nozzles on their third-party ink.

A YouTuber hyped it up as Brother turning to the dark side so that he could profit off clicks.

Don’t use a mist humidifier. They suck. Use an evaporative one and add bacteriostat to the water.

The dev stated that it mostly exists for more performance-limited applications like mobile.

Expanse does too, though it isn’t common in that world.

Similarly, VLC names their releases after Discworld characters. It’s a fun way to make major versions feel like more than just a number increment.

Banks like to think that branch employees (bank tellers) are sales people. Most of them give ‘goals’ to each employee requiring them to open a certain number of new accounts, land a certain number of loans, etc each week/month. It isn’t ethical since the only people you can really sell on those services are the ones who should least get them. Anyone who actually wants/needs the services will come to you.
