This seems like roughly what I said except discounting the idea that a changelog, marketing communication, sales communication, and support are all wildly different. I don’t want some dumbass in sales or marketing who can barely add two numbers together without a calculator trying to explain that Firefox fixed several crashes in the latest release. Similarly I wouldn’t want a developer trying to psychologically manipulate you into buying something you don’t need – that’s why you hire sociopaths.

So you want to watch a movie of people being tortured and deported and killed? I don’t get what you’re trying to argue here.

Right, like I said, no human at the helm

Alternate, simpler explanation: watching the trump administration in movie form isn’t fun. Fascism is boring.

You dont need an llm, and it doesn’t need to be a developer. Devs are more than capable of writing down words that a human can understand, and if the project is big there will be a manager who has the context to provide a short summary.

However all of that requires company effort.

People who use defaults, what do you mean?

The obvious answer is there’s no human at the helm recording changes, it’s just the next build. You’ll take it and you’ll like it.

In general, yes. I’m not super old but there’s never been a time in my life when that hasn’t been the case. Hard to think of a developed country where this is false.

I mean not as much as Russia or China, lol

Audiobook shelf is great, and they have several good client apps in addition to the browser app.

No, fuck dumbasses who think a dash makes you a computer.

Nice attempt at both sidesing. I’m assuming you’re mostly focused on the us, so there is one party in power in all three branches of government and the other party has close to no power (the current shutdown demonstrates how the democrats are damned if they do and damned if they don’t).

In terms of citizens, a broad portion of the us population has spent the last 50+ years hating the government, but now that it’s small enough to fit in pants they seem mostly content.

Another broad portion has historically viewed government as trash but the only way to get things done that benefit the population. Since the government is now heavily focused on doing whatever it can to hurt the population (whether you’re a farmer, immigrant, elderly/sick, or whatever, this government is actively trying to hurt you), that portion is now unhappy but with no realistic approach to solving it.

My perception is that outside of 20-somethings, people are more or less in the same bucket they’ve always been in. Nothing going on here is remotely new. I don’t see any real change in people wanting anything other than the status quo.
