You'd think so, but they don't even make their Wednesday through wages, let alone Tuesday.

For what it's worth

"Recent comments at Ignite about Windows 10 are reflective of the way Windows will be delivered as a service bringing new innovations and updates in an ongoing manner, with continuous value for our consumer and business customers," says a Microsoft spokesperson in a statement to The Verge. "We aren’t speaking to future branding at this time, but customers can be confident Windows 10 will remain up-to-date and power a variety of devices from PCs to phones to Surface Hub to HoloLens and Xbox. We look forward to a long future of Windows innovations."

What stops them from just saying what people want to hear, then doing what their party wants? There's no accountability because you wouldn't know that the party that lied last election is saying the same thing this election.

Current Lemmy will circlejerk about the end of any company or product with the smallest nudge.

Every slightly negative post above a certain threshold of views will have comments about abandoning whatever thing it's about.

There's different teams doing different types of work.

Like the claim system might have it setup so X codes in Y situations can't be automated. Then someone looks at the claim, determines based on their written guidelines that this one needs to be reviewed so they look to see if there are notes attached. If there aren't they request the notes, maybe by sending a letter. If there are, they send it to the team that reviews notes and makes these decisions. Those people probably also have written guidelines on what is allowed or not and if it's more complicated they (should) have someone qualified that can review it. Then the claim is probably sent back to the other team saying "Hey, deny that code and allow this code", where they then just do whatever that says.

They probably also have situations where X code in Y situation is "never" allowed and the first people reviewing it just always deny it. Then, as mentioned elsewhere here, the provider has to resubmit it and then it's allowed on "appeal" by another team. This brother you mentioned is probably doing very little decision making beyond applying already decided guidelines to each claim, if he even processes them.

Yes, that's the same thing every time Firefox is mentioned here. It's like people here WANT to be angry.

And it also was never all or nothing. I keep my goal at 6000 just because 10k (i didn't know about 8700) isn't realistic for me. It's still better than what I would walk normally.

Only in that direction.

You got an open source alternative to Google home/Amazon Echo? I'd buy it.

Is there an ebook service like GOG is for games? DRM free so you can keep the books regardless of what happens to the service?

(I know it's easy enough to remove it, but I'd rather support a service like that if I can)

uMatrix

I used uBlock origin and have for years but I've never heard of uMatrix. I see from the description kind of what it does, but what's the benefit here?

All good. I think we're thinking of this from different aspects anyway. I'm thinking a company just subscribes as part of their office subscription and Microsoft is doing the heavy lifting of the cost and hardware. I don't know how OpenAI makes money besides their little subscription.
