Not knowing something is fine, even not knowing what merriam-webster is. The big problem is the complete lack of problem-solving capability. 5 seconds with google, instead of waiting 5 hours for a reply that didn't even answer the question.
In most cases I'd agree with you. In this case, that's not her problem. Here she wasn't asking a question, she was offended that a brand that she didn't know was "attacking" a brand that she likes, and so was claiming they aren't important enough to deserve the audacity to taint her timeline like that. Her actual problem is that she's a brainless corporate simp that's offended that there's content in front of her that isn't perfectly tailored for her. Worse than just being unwilling to learn.
I'm not familiar with Hana's AI Too, but whenever I see stuff like this I always question, "Is this person joking?" This person could just be making a joke, or trolling or something of the like.
Yep. The vast majority of the time someone is "stupid", they're making a sarcastic comment or a joke or using hyperbole. Lots of folks take things way too literally.
The thing is, too often have I assumed someone was sarcastic when they weren't. Or they were playing Schrodinger's douche-bag and deciding retroactively if they're sarcastic or not based on the reaction.
Fair point, however I am 1.) not sure if larger known accounts arent just getting it by default and 2.) if not, I do think educational resources have a sort of ethical claim to try and boost their visibility, private people or "influencers" do not.
Yes, we all have our rationalizations for our little hypocrisies. 1. You could easily check (the answer is, they don't wanna talk about it, aka "yes"). 2. Whatever educational value xitter may have is completely undone by everything else on xitter. We're certainly not being educated through merriam-webster's snarky posts. They are merely acting as influencers, posting jokes for visibility. And paying nazis to do it, just like everyone else on xitter with an "i paid" badge. 🤷🏾♂️
Well, to be fair it did what it was designed to do, create a good little product. In the beginning it was an obedient factory worker, now i guess it's a disaffected, tuned-out consumer. Just so long as they don't love reading, and never ask real questions
I have to downvote even though I hate Apple. I just looked at that company and Google says: "America's most trusted dictionary". Remember that citizens of the USA are only ~4,19% of the world population. The rest 95,81% might not know some company from the USA. Cheers
It ciuld also be that she's just not american, since Merrian-Webster is not really an international brand, and isnt as well recogniced in other countries.
I would argue that most Dems have not done right by public education. Biden did, honestly first one in a long time. Arne Duncan who was Obama's Secretary of Education was big on vouchers and giving money to anyone besides public schools and their "Race to the Top" was in some ways shittier than "No Kid Left Behind."
The GOP hasn't been good on public education since Eisenhower.
Public education has been left to rot by the people wanting to privatize it. It's been a long slow roll into mediocrity so they can sell vouchers, magnet schools, etc.
As a magnet school student, it didn’t used to be like that. Yes, it takes money from the district budget and lets administrators look great because they are getting the smarter kids, but I saw genuinely great education. This was also true for the 4 “magnets” of other disciplines and our votech sister schools on campus 04-08
and to be clear, as somebody who attended private and public school...the private schools are as bad, if not worse, they just make the people in power more money (and can be religious)
that too, private schools can discriminate, can segregate, both on sex and race as well as social class, and can be religious. It's a way to bring back a sort of nobility, by making schools rich, white, male, and christian, while sending everybody else to wildly underfunded public shools where we learn to be peasants, and nothing more. The entire concept of private schooling is a cancer on the US school system.
And control the quality of education or lack there of. Plenty charter schools in LA are worse than LAUSD, and that’s a low bar. Kanye west has a charter school and he’s a college drop out.
In her defense, I assume there's a lot of people who don't know what a dictionary is today, nevermind the name of a company who makes them. Now her lack of a sense of humor? Unforgivable.
now that apple is being made by the genocidal isrelis, it's time for apple to die off. foldable phones aren't that great, I hate my fold 6 and can't wait to be rid of it.
I used to have a HUGE unabridged dictionary when I was a kid/teen. There was no internet then, so it was get that, a thesoraus and a set of encyclopedias or drive to the local library to look up the info. We also had the encyclopedias. Didn't have a thesoraus until much later.
That has been their strategy for like forever. Let everyone else do all the R&D and beta testing for new technology and then take the best things discovered about it and make the best version of it then charge twice as much while keeping it all locked into their walled garden.
It's the best version for their user base. I would argue that there is no universal best version of really anything PC/tablet/smartphone related, just best version for a particular type of end user. The sector of users Apple focuses on makes their products the most stable and feature rich (aka. best) products for those users and they work really hard to cater to those users making their entire ecosystem seemlessly integrate with each device.
I didn't jump into the flip phones until they worked out some of the Gen 1 kinks. But I could not be happier with what I have now. Even if I liked Apple I wouldn't buy this until I see how often the screen cracks
Samsung also has 4 different form factors to choose from in this gen counting the trifold, Google is on their 4th generation, Motorola is also on their 4th gen releasing the Razr fold this year. Fun fact Samsung actually had the passport form factor on a prototype in 2013 so the formfactor isn't even new.
Sure. And when the iPhone first launched there were already plenty of smartphones to choose from but it's the iPhone that became the definitive version.
I think there's a strong possibility that in another 10 years 90% of the folding market looks like apple's entrant.
Samsung already has a folding phone that looks pretty much just like the Duo. Apple has gone from being a leader to playing catch-up, yet still people act like Apple is an innovator.
People have been saying that forever. It's kinda my point. The iPhone was just another smart phone when it first came out. When the iPad was launched there had been plenty of attempted tablets before. The Apple Watch is hardly the first smart watch.
But in all those cases apple became the iconic example of the category, at least in the US, even if they were "late." There's room to argue to what degree that's brand recognition vs good implementation vs innovation building on the base concept.
The original iPhone was absolutely the best product on the market at the time. Android took at least 5 years to catch up. At this point though, they're basically equivalent products, except Android is a lot more flexible. Many of the things I do with my phone wouldn't be allowed in Apple's closed garden. Worldwide, Android is far and away the most popular phone (70% market share). iPhone dominates in the US (60%). Neither of those numbers has changed more than 5% or so for 10+ years.
The original iPhone was only the best at the time because a bunch of other touchscreen PDA's and mobile phones that were starting to embrace text and email as the defacto communication standard came before it so Apple just took all the best tech in those various areas at the time and bolted them all together into a cohesive package. It's the same thing they continue to do today, wait for new tech to be R&D'd and beta tested by others before making their own version.
Agreed. I've been toying with WaterFox on my desktop (Linux) which is a FireFox fork with integrated uBlock. In the end I didn't continue to use it, their default blocks were a bit too aggressive and hurt usability on some sites.
I can't live without the annoyance filters (cookie popups, email sign up popovers, social media login popups, AI chat popups, etc) and the anti adblock detection. I've tried others like Android Vivaldi and Brave and they do not especially do anti adblock well. My desktop Linux I also just use plain ol firefox with a few add-ons.
Yes, it's a book. You've never seen one? They're pretty thick. Even pocket sized ones don't fold. And, if you don't like comments where people get into semantics, don't click on posts that involve dictionaries.
I assure you that there is a line of symmetry where that baby can be unfolded and folded again, a great many times, in fact. Not really sure why you're looking at other ones.
Twitter actively requires engagement baiting or the account gets deprioritized on feeds. If their OF is an important part of making ends meet they don't really have much choice but to play that game by any means necessary.
There are some who will actively get things taken down from places using copyright laws, and there are others who show off everything on free accounts and make all of their money doing personalized stuff for people.
