It's the next evolution of planned obsolescence - it just doesn't work as soon as you start to use it.

They should just rename the service to "Appliance Systems Service", so the acronym makes sense.

Times change, and people are slow. 'Colored people' used to be the most PC, now it's an insult. Because it could, in any old fart's brain, be either the most PC thing or an insult, you never know if the person is doing so intentionally or not, which sucks because:

  • if someone uses it unintentionally and people jump on them, that just makes them bitter
  • someone who is racist can use not knowing as a smoke screen
  • people who are really "with it" on social issues can also be quick to blame, and low on tolerance, and high on trauma or virtue signaling.

..the divide just grows until people resolve it inside themselves.

Back buttons may have limited use. Someone was complaining that in xinput mode they didn't work.

It's been a little annoying. Anyways, thanks for thinking of FMHY.

..it wasn't what he said, it was the implication.

Someone else here, but eh.. ..he's ok. Like any human, he had some decent qualities and some crappy ones.

People with obvious power show their flaws obviously, but nobody's really fit to replace them, either. What you mostly get is 'If i was rich, I would...' ..but the reality is, most of those people would cave, and the institutions they led would either fall apart or become rudderless and decay.

Some people lead, and they do it until they crack, then they start to fall apart and others take over. Other people bitch, and shove wedges in the cracks and say 'we all knew he was an asshole all along!' then elevate someone else that they'll tear down later.

The leaders are by no means golden, but they aren't worse than the raise-up tear-down crowd, that's for sure.

Yeah, the reddit hate train is here. Choo Choo! We can't hang people anymore because that's not PC, but we sure as hell still have the hate for it! Let's worship people one day and then burn them the next, blaming our disillusionment on someone else rather than on our own illusions!
