Parity can take time - and you probably don't want it because the apps like Adobe's are full of so much legacy anyway.

It was during covid, during a time when people were starting to think retail would never go back to normal and everyone would switch to exclusively online buying.

It was a bet that was unsupported by data (there wasn't any) and turned out to be wrong.

Depressingly, I believe you are right.

We keep reading different variations of the same story over and over - different companies and industries but make the same fatal mistakes.

1) Let the 'spreadsheet people' take over, every decision is now allegedly based on 'data'

2) Kill the innovation because they can’t put a $ value on it

3) Rake in a few years of fast profits and soak in glory

4) Company implodes, CEO rides into the sunset, board that should have protected the company somehow largely intact.

Data wasn't the killer. Stupidity, greed and shortsightedness in roughly equal parts usually are.

The real issue here is they’ve been dishonest and less than candid with their customers.

Trust broken, words out, and their statement doesn’t really do anything to mending that.

Like bunny.net - its still tiny compared to CF but hopefully they will grow and won't adopt the crappier bits of CF.

They used to make some nice equipment but I’ve stopped buying anything from LG and share that recommendation to friends and family.

I know I’m not the only one so I’m sure LG are experiencing the results of consumer democracy.

No expert but mechanical parts all built to the same specification and used in more or less the same manner can fail around the same time.

We see that in commercial aviation a lot which is why when there’s so much as 2 instances of a similar failure within a short timespan investigators start looking more closely at maintenance and manufacturing.

What’s the best real alternative to 1Password?

I’d want: Secure with sharing capability, multi device sync and nice UX

There was a world before Spotify. Though the music labels didn’t much like that world we can easily go back to it.

If you don’t have a valid point why post rubbish?

> raised three separate PRs to correct spelling and grammar mistakes in comments.

> The changes were harmless and correct,

> I closed all three PRs without comment.

What is this article? I get real ‘AI slop PRs’ are nightmares - but I take that to mean the wave of AI generated PRs that read convincingly but are in the end bullshit.

But your example is NOT that. The unreasonable counter to your point: don’t make spelling mistakes in the first place? Or switch off PRs if you don’t want things corrected?

‘Uncontrolled’ - surely the control point was the initial application being submitted from abroad?

It was very much ‘controlled’. We lost SO many European workers due to the obsession with EU Freedom of Movement that entire sectors like nursing were about to implode without a source of new workers.

Seems like the only thing more expensive and damaging these days than being an enemy of the US is being an ally!

Wonder how long it’ll be before Trump throws his toys out the pram again. Wouldn’t be surprised if he moans his allies have abandoned him.
