CISA is needed more than ever. And they are actually doing good work, or at least they were before the orange moron and his bro took over.

How do you mean?

And there we hace the core of the problem. Real leaders would value a challenge like this and rise to the occasion. I guess CEOs are very rarely leaders these days.

You mean it has become too obvious to hide that they are incompetent, right?

None of those that have options. Explains nicely why MS has been doing crappy engineering for decades now.

Looks more to me like MS is all in on enshittificatinon these days.

Well, at least explains why MS only seems to have mediocre engineers and ones worse than that.

They have invested tons of money into "AI". Not they cannot admit the investment was wasted and it is another dud. Hence crap like this.

My compassion for their fate is non-existent.

He still knows his name, hence he cannot be in deep dementia. Ordiary dementia? Sure.

Because however deeply scared you may be of these "others", the never were a threat in that regard. Yes, I get that you are too deeply stuck in delusion to be able to understand that.

It is actually a game played for children. Children in adult bodies that is.

I completely agree that in dialog among experts, language needs to be clear and precise and names need to have meaning. This does not apply when communicating with many non-experts. They get spooked, draw false conslusions in establiched Dunning-Kruger fasion and you end up with a lot of damage. Sad as it is, lying by misdirection (and that is what renaming things to make them sound less scary essentially does) is necessary. This does not get discussed usually, as it opens another can of worms: What about the panicky, immature and insighless educational failures that make up a significant part of the voter population? Is it a good idea to let them vote? Clearly the answer is "no". And that, while clearly true, is outside of what most people can deal with. And prohibitions against thinking that and calling stupid people stupid (which is clear and precise and adequate...) then go back to make things like renaming things to manipulate people acceptable.

The whole thing is a mess. The problem is most people are not fit to lead and that includes most voters and most that want to be elected. And there are no known good solutions to that.

Security concerns? In movies? And then tariffs to address security concerns? Is he going into deep dementia now?

It was a long time ago. We did joke that you could give it a sentence and then it would write your document for you. It may even only have been something in a preview version and I do not remember what it actually did. I started using MS Word much later and only whenever it could not be avoided.

There was no "off-handedly" in my comment on your disrespect for the people you send email to.
