imho Sinner and Alcaraz didn't solve the "overpowering aura" so much as the physical wear and tear took the trio down enough pegs to be much more attainable, and Djokovic is still competing impressively well.

Donate it to some charity which will ship it to Africa for you, so you can get the tax write off, _even better_

For years I had Pidgin spam "Leave me alone" when I got pings. Man those voices are deeply embedded in my psyche

When claude makes magnasanti I will accept it is worthy

it seems to be bad at spatial and some temporal tasks given it currently f*** s**'s at pokemon.

You're allowed to say "fucking sucks" on Hacker News. It's not against the rules, and there's no "algorithm" that will penalize you.

glad to know, i am rather new here and somewhat used to the "don't do the usual forbidden stuff".

"fuck sex's"?

that's silly. obviously there's a missing apostrophe:

"it's currently Flan Sam's at pokemon"

Assuming the someone is private equity buying out, I expect the quality to drop like a stone and the place to go to hell.

So. It's not suspicious. But you can rest assured as a customer it isn't good news

(that doesn't make it wrong to sell ofc)

How long were they threatening to kill snipping tool despite it being a perfectly serviceable piece of kit so we could switch to some shitty alternative?

They did ultimately kill it though - and then they re-created it as a bloated UWP version that is an insane 449 MEGABYTES in size! The old win32 Snipping Tool used to be only a few kilobytes...

You'll use a ton of AI but it won't wipe the humans out. In the end you'll have a compositional change, likely nothing catastrophic imo. In part because there is a buck to stop and Claude ain't got no hands...

I'd still love to see them play more games, and indeed it'd be fun to play against them. Sad they died off

Mostly non-malicious example... My employer asked me to write a UI to solve a problem for a handful of people until a proper (giant ever-delayed) migration was finished. Over a couple of weeks I made it work despite not having dealt with MVVM/XAML/Whatever before and I was pretty pleased with the outcome. But it was a hacked together thing! I'm not a real dev and given that I got a promise it wouldn't get distributed.

So, you know, in the program.cs startup I checked the username vs a hardcoded list of people in the relevant teams, and if it wasn't crashed out with an error and a support email address.

About 18 months after I had moved on, I got an email with a screenshot of that error message. it would appear the Milan (something like that) office had got their hands on a copy but it just wouldn't work for them...

Trivial to undo of course, but I did enjoy the throwback!

> cacophony of notifications, emails, texts and phone calls

This is not true for me at least. All group chats are default muted. I rarely get phone calls and maybe a handful people text me on a given day. My email is actively curated, almost no business has perms to email me and standard outlook spam filters seem to work well enough.

I don't think any other apps have perms to make notifications. None of it is important.

> I've spent hours and hours unsubscribing, deleting, uninstalling, toggling settings, but then I find myself reinstalling, resubscribing

why do you find yourself re-connecting to the notification spam? The real root of your problem is there, not anywhere else.
