OpenAI Execs Mass Quit as Company Removes Control From Non-Profit Board and Hands It to Sam Altman
  • I'm confused, how can a company that's gained numerous advantages from being non-profit just switch to a for-profit model? Weren't a lot of the advantages (like access to data and scraping) given with the stipulation that it's for a non-profit? This sounds like it should be illegal to my brain

  • NIST proposes barring some of the most nonsensical password rules
  • You really want to memorise different shortcuts for search? What if you're on a web app like discord? Ctrl+f isn't gonna be as useful as a built in search solution that has access to data that isn't visible until searched for. I get the issues on disabling the features but if they're replacing browser behaviour with something that suits the site better I think that's alright as long as it's not s downgrade.

  • Yet another one of China's elite has disappeared after criticizing Xi Jinping
  • Tbh Marx is intentionally questioning definitions and such so it makes sense, simplifying it down to terms we use isn't very productive in that sense, because what he argues for is the abolishing of "private property" as we know it, but without removing the fruits of labour from its people, so if you and your mates worked for your house you can have it, until the moment you start making a business out of it then it's less ok.

  • Yet another one of China's elite has disappeared after criticizing Xi Jinping
  • Read a bit ahead if you may:

    Communism deprives no man of the power to appropriate the products of society; all that it does is to deprive him of the power to subjugate the labour of others by means of such appropriations.

  • Yet another one of China's elite has disappeared after criticizing Xi Jinping
  • I mean you can still have private property under communism, it's the capital making property that's more owned by the workers themselves, but you can still own things under communism.

    Similarly, you can earn capital under communism too, it's just that the tools for earning said capital aren't owned by corporations under corporations under CEOs under the 1%. It's not a cornerstone for sure, but it's not like communism is anti capital and growth and owning things

  • Careful with those, almost started a house fire once because the connection wasn't as tight as it needed to be. With it being magnetic and carrying power you run into the risk of metal debris magnetising itself on it and completing a circuit

  • Sadly the coloration was mostly in post, the grass was turning a bit yellow but not to this degree nor saturation. Sorry!

    As for location, this is the view from the Capra peak, the hike is near lake Bâlea if you wanted a Landmark to get there :)

  • Why is UI design backsliding?
    • It's about the same size as the before screenshot if you added one more toolbar, except you have better groupings
    • you can customize it, if you find features you frequently use are in hard to reach spaces. I doubt it actually fully hides the thing, and they've also majorly improved the search at the same time as they deployed the ribbon so you can use that as backup. It's not like features weren't hidden before anyway, you just didn't use them yourself at the time to notice.
    • you mean the extra tabs it can get? It never fully changes everything afaik, just get a few more tabs that are otherwise not needed.

    I simply dislike the connection that clean modern design is for noobs and power users just need a list and that's it. It's not like the design is made without consulting or taking in data from advanced users, and if you're truly a power user you can customise it and make it your own. No, I believe that's just stubbornness to trying something new, or lack of openness to do so when it's not a priority to evolve your workflow, you simply want to get from A to B. Feel free to correct me, but tight compact layouts aren't inherently power user friendly, just as padded grouped layouts aren't inherently anti-power user

    Why is UI design backsliding?
  • But the ribbon is the improvement over the non-ribbon UX. There's just no pleasing some people who don't want anything to change, even if they're currently struggling to use all the tools they have available and they've stockholmed themselves into learning workarounds. Someone else posted about how before the ribbon, when asked for features to add, people asked for features that they already had access to, but didn't know about it

  • Why is UI design backsliding?
  • Well a big problem is when a UI has a small learning curve that then gives a huge benefit in usability, letting the user decide based on their feelings might lead to them having a worse off experience in the end, is that something you'd be open to getting people complaining about not finding their options day and night while they stubbornly avoid the ribbon?
