Awesome post. As a former IT person who has worn many other hats over the years, I couldn’t agree with you more.

In my experience, when you get an over-the-top response from someone from a sh.itjust.works user, the best response it to just block them.

That’s really nice work, you should be proud of it!

I agree with your analysis, and only differ in that I do pay for YouTube Premium because I get a TON of use out of YouTube music - you really can’t beat their library of obscure and live music!

That’s just a list of things I don’t want (except Phone Link, which I’m already enjoying in Win10 as an Android phone user)

I live in Massachusetts and I used the IRS free file service this year, for both state and federal taxes. It was a very painless process, and I had my federal refund in my bank account in less than ten days!! It really works.

taken for a ride.

Nice.

I was so excited when I stumbled across the Enhanced Edition on Steam! (I hadn’t played it since it was first released, and had lost the original disc)

Well, that’s just silly! We all know they were getting their advanced tech from Hydra.

In no particular order:

• Hero’s Quest (from Sierra On-line)
• Valheim
• Fallout: New Vegas
• Skyrim
• No Man’s Sky
• City of Heroes (can you believe it’s legally back?!?)
• Red Dead Redemption II
• Planescape: Torment
• Stardew Valley
• Starfield

(I’m sure that last one will raise some eyebrows, but I’ve already got over 1k hours in it since launch. For all its faults, it scratches some itch of mine just right.)

Really? Are you on the spectrum?

You’re not wrong, as far as the logical expansion of the statements in question. The ‘with no stipulations’ part is, technically, unnecessary. But we don’t live in a Platonic ideal. You are free to add reinforcing/qualifying statements to a basic idea being posited. If you’re being sincere in your request for clarity, and not just being a snark, my advice would be to ignore everything I say and just do as you want! LOL

And it works! I followed that recipe in the 80s, to hilariously non-fatal results.

Unless this is 5D chess and Google is willfilly[sic] using itself as a cautionary tale to discourage future webservice sites from arbitrarily inserting AI into its features.

Holy shit, can I live in that timeline, please?!? Pretty please?

Case in point… I think we are having a discussion, but wont be surprised if you think we are arguing over pedantry.

As an outside observer, I feel like I can confidently say that you are wrong. YOU are being needlessly pedantic and derailing the conversation.

Ugh!

The worst part is, after wasting a bunch of time tracking down the correct Discord server to ask a question about a piece of software, you generally get lambasted by the “regulars” of that server to “just use the search feature, that’s what it’s for!”

Yeah, no. I don’t want to wade through a reverse chronology of a bunch of conflicting back-and-forth conversations - just gimme a FAQ or some actual documentation!!!

Are you new to the internet?

I stopped drinking milk when I left home and moved to college… 30+ years ago.

Cow boob juice is for baby cows. Human boob juice is for baby humans. Adults of any species should have developed past ingesting boob juice in childhood.
