Sales and marketing is often mostly bullshitting anyway. It also has a lot less risk and constraint associated to generated text having issues. Not surprised they were more on board. The tool is more fitting for those use cases anyway.

To take advantage of the full €5,000 off, buyers must sign a purchase or lease agreement by February 28. On top of that, the car needs to be registered no later than June 30.

I would say so, yes.
(I’m not the original commented, but I do use them too.)
They came to be after Nvidia published their gaming streaming as an open source alternative. Nvidia dropped their product. Sunshine and moonlight still actively develop.
Personally, I use them to stream my desktop to TV, for desktop, watching stuff, and sometimes gaming.

The functionally, not the tech, yes. Sunshine and moonlight is a more performant alternative to native remote desktop (rdp).

The group policy management has a lot of options. You can control automatic and manual behavior, or do the whole update delivery yourself. Of course, that all comes with effort and investment into administration and management.

- Comment on TikTok Deal Done And It’s Somehow The Shittiest Possible Outcome, Making Everything Worse 1 week ago:
I have no idea how it feels there or what the real or honest user percentage is like. Subjectively occasionally I still see xitter. Maybe my impression of importance and use as a source for press/media is outdated.
Still, it seems to remain very relevant in some areas and circles, like vtubing, Japan, Ukraine, and Russia.
I assume it’s the same for other areas. The recent reporting about artist outcry and leaving xitter because of their AI remixing is another indication that is still significantly popular, apparently.
Whether it’s 50% bots or not - if we assume the other half to be real and honest users that’s still a lot and relevant.

for non-chinese
or for Chinese that don’t want to be censored?
Most platforms have some kind of moderation. But I’m sure a Chinese platform will be quite selective about a particular set of topics and themes.
- Comment on TikTok Deal Done And It’s Somehow The Shittiest Possible Outcome, Making Everything Worse 3 weeks ago:
I think Xitter is the better example. It had a very sharp worsening as a platform, and yet, somehow, still remains very relevant.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 3 weeks ago:
Quoting the quote from the article (so it’s more obvious and accessible here):
The Indie Game Awards have a hard stance on the use of gen AI throughout the nomination process and during the ceremony itself. When it was submitted for consideration, a representative of Sandfall Interactive agreed that no gen AI was used in the development of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. In light of Sandfall Interactive confirming the use of gen AI art in production on the day of the Indie Game Awards 2025 premiere, this does disqualify Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 from its nomination. While the assets in question were patched out and it is a wonderful game, it does go against the regulations we have in place. As a result, the IGAs nomination committee has agreed to officially retract both the Debut Game and Game of the Year awards.

I didn’t even think of full-screen applications having to relayout. It’s not like every screen is the same size or dimension, either.

- Comment on Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft 3 weeks ago:
Why would applications have to consider relayouting? Isn’t that entirely in the hand of the Windows taskbar?
It shows the window groups, windows, pops over previews of windows or tabs in a consistent style, presumably owned by the taskbar itself. At no point do applications themselves control their positions or size in the taskbar or the taskbar popovers.
- Comment on Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft 3 weeks ago:
The taskbar items can’t have a constant width. Your whole taskbar layout changes when you change a tab in Firefox. You have to open a set of programs from right to left, because any other order will change the positions of the items you want to click.
When not combining windows, in Windows 10 you could order them to your preference and usefulness. Now, you’re stuck. Even when not combined, the items are combined in one block, and you can’t order them within the block either.

I guess they’re not taking their big cut on app revenue to offer a good neutral platform.
How can they justify 100/300 + 30% if not with a moderated neutral platform?

- Comment on No AI* Here - A Response to Mozilla's Next Chapter - Waterfox Blog 3 weeks ago:
They fear falling behind other browsers and losing users because of it.
They see AI prevalence and see it as an opportunity to profile and position Mozilla as a leader in “ethical ai”.
They see AI use cases and success and think they have to integrate it to have additional, useful, significant features.
