I wasn’t saying that’s all it is. I was and am saying that that’s why and how a large portion of people use it.
There is a lot of usefulness in simple data structures with a GUI over top. That’s why the data structures were invented in the first place. People–especially in software product management–are insistent that the complicated features are what keep people using software, even when it’s obviously untrue.
It’s not 100% of it, but it’s a large portion.
Excel isn’t replaced because your company already bought it. There are many alternatives to Excel and most of them are acceptable to the overwhelming majority of people who use Excel (people using it for tables and basic graphs) and none of them have displaced Excel.
I mean look at Word. It absolutely sucks and yet it’s standard anyway. Same with Outlook.
It’s just a generic table / matrix thing mostly. Turns out tables are a good way to lay out a bunch of different information.
Somehow nobody has made a similar generic application to allow you to work with nested list, outline, or tree style structures, which I think are equally if not more useful structures to lay out certain types of information.
The first season of this show (13 reasons why) was somewhat palatable and was at times maybe even an okay show. The following seasons descended into some of the best hate watching, career destroying garbage you’ve ever seen, if you’re into that kind of thing.
Maybe it’s just in my own family, but ADHD in childhood has largely been a precursor for manic depression / bipolar disorder, and it seems very likely to me to have a genetic component. It affects everyone descending from my dad’s side of the family to one extent or another, and I could completely see where it came from in the flesh when my paternal grandmother was alive.
I have to say it’s probably the only way you’ll ever get any kind of bulk rename out of a Microsoft OS.
In these trying times it helps more than ever to run an OS that sips rather than slurps that precious ddr5.
I’m 100% certain that “Gemini” has no answers I’m seeking. But thanks!
Hey, finally some things that aren’t exactly the same as everything else.
I tested mine using my keyfob (which is what I bought it for). Test, for sure, but there are ones that work. Aluminum foil also works.
You can buy faraday wallets for like $20.
Nothing says peace prize like one taken from a person for invading their country.
Could preface it with “are you still in the return period for this thing?”.
In 10 yrs when those fridges die and people who “learned their lesson” go to buy a new fridge
That’s more like two years for Samsung fridges, where the designers and builders spend all of their time on fancy horseshit and ignore basic requirements like “keep the food cold”.
You know they (the Whitehouse goons) say that the Capitol Police officer that killed ashli babbitt “never faced charges”, this pardon language is so broad that he never could even if he did do something wrong (which he did not).
Trump’s proclamation commuted the sentences of 14 individuals and also granted “a full, complete and unconditional pardon to all other individuals convicted of offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.” This immediately covered roughly 1,500 people, including hundreds of defendants who were charged with assaulting or resisting law enforcement officers.
With this language, the guy retroactively created a federal anarchy zone for a period of time in Washington DC.
Ashli Babbit was a fucking terrorist and a rube.
Agree, but also I read a bit of her backstory (https://pluralistic.net/2025/07/22/all-day-suckers/) and it was full of things that happened due to regulatory / governmental policy failures and in a way was actually pretty tragic, just more in the “fell victim to multiple scams of various types” way rather than the “dedicated patriot who lost her life standing up for what is right” kind of way.
It wasn’t “understood”. They all wanted to stand on the dais. They all unbanned him from the platforms. They all threw their weight behind him as a candidate.
They are supporters of his. The whole “boo hoo, I only run a trillion dollar company so I cannot stand up to Trump” is a horse shit ass, bitch ass excuse. These people have more access to wealth, legal help, and other resources than any other people in history. They chose this. Some of them capitulated, and some of them collaborated, but it’s a distinction without a difference in my opinion.
Framework for one, but just about any other computer maker is better by that metric.
And how. Making coders slightly more efficient really just isn’t worth this much. There’s also going to be hell to pay when software created by all of the vibe-coding is found to be full of security holes.
They want to pitch this as unemployment causing efficiency gains, but this shit clearly can’t do anyone’s job that wasn’t already automatable through regular software.
