You forgot “cancel a bunch of products that were actually useful and had real growth potential in favour of Copilot”

Definitely a bait title.

MacroSlop works IMO

Bug fixing is not a reason to enable massive privacy violations.

That much is true.

you can send it to a server

Yes, because web browsers, under current web architecture, allow this.

This is entirely my point.

That can all be done 100% client side. The server does not need this information.

Here’s the information a web server needs to deliver content to a browser:

• The requested resource
• An IP address
• User credentials (sometimes)

Everything else is a fucking security hole. There’s no good reason for servers to know what extensions you have installed, what OS you’re running, the dimensions of your browser window, where your mouse cursor is positioned, or any one of a thousand other data points that browsers freely hand over.

Still don’t really understand why browsers expose this data to sites.

Web browsers are just such a massive security hole.

Instant model collapse.

I don’t get it. How can you even tell the difference?

But…but Magic Box™

Everyone keeps forgetting the stolen election in 2000.

Windows acts like it is the only OS installed on the machine. Your best bet is to physically disconnect all other drives while installing windows.

Is your F11 key jammed or something?

Two data points: What their intern could do with React; what their intern couldn’t do with React.

Doesn’t look remotely like the guy in that original mugshot they were flashing around.

This shit pre-dates “AI”. AI just lets them do it faster and cheaper.
