Most users neither know nor care what that is.

I did say private individuals, Outlook is more of a corporate product.

YouTube should be fixing their buggy mess of a YouTube app, what a disaster. Every change they make, makes it worse.

That really nails it, I think. Tech is a hobby for some, a means to an end for the vast majority.

I’ve used my share of free software. Some of it worked well, but it always felt clunky, and just never as straightforward to use as a paid product.

But sure, I couldn’t possibly have reached that conclusion on my own, it’s obviously the marketing.

Christ this is such a Lemmy take.

The other option is users just not using tech at all.

I’ve said this before here, but techy people vastly overestimate both the ability and the patience of the typical user, and it’s the reason so few people use FOSS products.

Products from big tech aimed at private individuals are designed to be as simple to use as possible, which is why they’re so popular.

I’ve seen attacks where a hundred people were either killed or injured, they call that a car bomb. I.E, you need a vehicle to carry that much explosive.

Utter nonsense that a pager did that.

How is that even remotely possible? The users here will believe absolutely anything.

The best outcome here is these toys are a massive flop, and cost Mattel a bunch of money.

That’s the language these corps truly speak.

Also the Simpsons, family guy, American dad etc.

They never even made it to the launch.

Where I live, there is a pole fuse, which is, as the name implies, on the pole, and only a linesman can change it.

Massive pain in the ass if that pops.

He’s made some genuinely good stuff though, Jumanji was far better than I ever expected.

That’s a very good way of putting it actually.

I’ve had the same thoughts about people who watch free to air TV. Between the same set of ads every ad break, and the frankly dubious quality of the programming, it has to be contributing to some type of cognitive decline.
