"oh, some of us should starve so that the stuff I buy at Kroger is cheaper" is an indefensible position, even if wages and marker prices were strongly correlated. Which they aren't

They say "people will work less" like it's a bad thing.

It's cute that you think anyone who would co-opt a beloved brand like Firefox to make an "AI browser" would be at all stopped by past habits.

Screen shots are not developed by massive art theft, nor does the creation of such a feature burn so many megawatts of data center energy that it makes Bitcoin farming look efficient.

"Opt-out" means on by default. Installed alongside the parts that you use, and quite possibly embedded into the thing so thoroughly that the next automatic update or feature iteration will either switch it back on or remove the option entirely.

LLMs are controversial to say the least, and accomodation to those who are repulsed by their inclusion should not take the form of an option they need to jump through hoops to turn off.

Leaving them in but saying they can be turned off is like shipping pornography in your video game with a filter someone in the options you can enable. It's a pain in the ass at the least, and means that anyone making a moral or ethical stand against its inclusion has no choice but to go elsewhere.

It may vary by your smartphone, but even back in the days of T9 texting there were settings to automatically insert the period with two taps of the space bar.

Sorry if I was too obtuse to be clear.

It's subtle. In fact, it's a repurposing of a technique that whole generations of typists used to employ. Back to when typewriters were a thing. When monospace fonts made two spaces after each sentence a common thing.

"fake" diversity with an obviously proprietary option is substantially better than a fake "open" environment where the only web browser options are either made by a single for-profit company, a reskinned derivative of that for-profit company's work, or a semi-not-for-profit whose main funding source is that same for-profit company.

In a very real way, web standards beyond "whatever chrome does" died when Microsoft tossed edge's HTML engine for chromium.

None. Modern smartphones have put periods in automatically for so long that anyone bitching about it is just abusively making shit up.

An ellipsis, on the other hand, is passive aggressive. It ... always... implies that something has been omitted. Such as the profanity in the prior sentence.

Honestly, WoT balefire scarring would be epic as fuck. You had a foot replaced when you were young by a wizard,.and in the future the jerk gets balefire'd so hard that his entire lifespan back to when you got your foot replaced is undone.

The charactes's foot appears as a ghostly flicking outline, like the false light if you stare at something too bright for too long. It can make a few marks, but is not solid enough to support the character.

This could just be a clever detail, or it could be a setup for an epic campaign.

This is a consequence of America wanting to pretend that the rest of the government has to be funded in accordance with the constitutional guard against a standing army.

The only thing that Congress does that has a constituonal time limit is fund the army.

A scroll and quill is a pretty good idea, but it'd be better as something more squarish than irregular, I think.

If you're covering for David Brooks, and we assume that Brooks is not himself a pedophile to be charitable, then you're covering for whatever unknown pedophile Brooks is covering for.

This isn't a court of law, it's an international private forum with no binding consequence on anybody's liberty. We don't have to presume people doing shady fuck are innocent, since we're not even accusing anyone of crimes.
