I get it but maybe something different like “Musk-led Tesla” would achieve what you said while also making it clear he plays no creative role in the companies (which he very much wants, just look up reports of him sitting in on engineering meetings making stupid proposals)

Agreed but we should say something different like “Musk-led Tesla”

Can we agree to stop saying “Musk’s Grok”, “Musk’s Tesla”, etc.? It only plays into his desire to be viewed as a genius instead of just a guy with blood diamond money. He’s never created anything.

Huge KDE fan too but there are a couple defaults that make me scratch my head. Like single clicking opens stuff instead of just selecting

Ah yes, the production of the broadcasts is creative work

Can someone explain to me how copyright, something meant for creative works, is allowed to be applied to athletes playing a fucking game? Like the athletes themselves holding the copyrights would be one thing, but the fact that they’re held by some crusty old English dudes who can’t kick a ball without throwing their back out is crazy

Those guys are older than me but the extent of my education on the matter was basically that Germany was experiencing a lot of poverty and inflation and stuff until Hitler came along and stole everyone’s hearts with his charisma

WWII, and actually the entire 20th century except for some civil rights stuff, was actually hardly covered in history class at all. But boy oh boy did we cover our Revolutionary War about 8 times over, and our Civil War like 5 times over. Most of my knowledge about WWII comes from family members and the History Channel (back when it was about history)

This is what I use to download game replays from NFL+, because they don't have a download function for whatever reason

You tend to see nonsensical, disjointed product UX and usability decisions a lot more in bigger, highly hierarchical organisations, with big teams, highly specialised, siloed ICs several levels removed from their end users by layers and layers of middle management fat.

Yep, and those layers and layers of middle management will never walk away from a UI/UX review saying "yeah, looks good to me!" because that wouldn't justify their existence, so they feel compelled to say something even when there's zero real issues, which is how you end up with inane bullshit

Haven’t thought about that Weird Al song in a while

Anyone got the original comic?

Author did kinda reference this with the ✨Development Velocity✨ part, but the truth is managers and businesspeople* are the ones that just don't care. Well, not about users at least. Managers just care about promotions and maintaining the upper hand in office politics, and businesspeople just care about money.

If devs were given the proper amount of time to implement things, they wouldn't be adding GBs of NPM packages from which only one function is used.

If devs were given any power in the decision-making process, the "17 tracking scripts you put on your websites which added 0.004 pence to your bottom line" would never be added
