You’re saying the addition of Copilot into MS Paint is anything short of revolutionary? You heretic.

I’m completely with you on this, and I’m surprised your comment is so highly voted because this community is quick to endorse vigilantism. Just the other day I was scrolling through a thread full of comments about how a guy who was arrested should have been more brutally assaulted by an angry mob.

Obligatory comment that endorses pirating software. We need to make sure this stereotype about Lemmy remains accurate.
- Comment on After 50 million miles, Waymos crash a lot less than human drivers 2 weeks ago:
Back in February, I took a Waymo for the first time and was at first amazed. But then in the middle of an empty four lane road, it abruptly slammed the brakes, twice. There was literally nothing in the road, no cars and because it was raining, no pedestrians within sight.
If I had been holding a drink, it would have spelled disaster.
After the second abrupt stop I was bracing for more for the remainder of the ride, even though the car generally goes quite slow most of the time. It also made a strange habit of drifting lanes through intersections while the turning indicators went from left to right alternatively like it had no idea what it was doing.
Honestly it felt like being in the car with a first time driver.
- Comment on Microsoft is killing OneNote for Windows 10 2 weeks ago:
For me it doesn’t roll off the tongue. For lack of a better word, it’s dinky. Generally speaking, naming a product for its primary feature narrows its future growth.
It’s also a bit awkwardly close to a reality TV personality I personally detest.

I’m referring to the odd choice for the name of the software.

Not to judge a book by its cover (ironically), but that name…

You are right! Thanks for teaching me.
- Comment on Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content 5 weeks ago:
I had the strangest experience on Reddit that was the final drop for me to leave. In a thread of lousy jokes, I commented something along the lines of “This is all the fault of Leon Trotsky of Mexico City! Let’s find him and get him, boys!”
It was flagged as doxxing and I was permabanned from the subreddit. I replied to the modmail ever so gently, saying, “Whoops, it looks like my poor sense of humor may have been misinterpreted, because Trotsky was famously assassinated in 1940.”
The mod came back absolutely lamenting me, riddled with explitives, further calling my username a “racist dog whistle” (my username there is the same as here but suffixed with a number). They then proceeded to attempt to have me banned sitewide for “abusing modmail,” although I was ultimately only suspended for 7 days.
The whole thing just left me so confused. But boy was that mod upset, holy moly.

Wait until they run the numbers on carbon emissions of stop signs vs. sensible yielding laws.
