So, SO true!

I'm constantly frustrated by the work situation I'm in now. The company keeps growing by acquisitions/partnerships and expanding its need for I.T. support. But there's zero interest in increasing head-count for the "rank and file" people doing the sysadmin or support work. Meanwhile, they've added 2 mangers for the department and both do little besides holding numerous meetings that feel like discovery sessions. They continually ask questions to try to understand pretty basic I.T. concepts and propose senseless changes (that we often have to reduce our level of daily support in order to work through for them). They literally reduce our productivity by being here!

Shouldn't the OS be able to cast the screen, rather than this being a function of the application?

I propose a law requiring companies to continue to provide old versions of software. They can remove a feature from the new version, but I can still get the old one. In the past, if Microsoft removed a feature from Word 2005 for example, then one could refuse to upgrade. I could save the installer. Yes, eventually it won't work any longer, and I am not saying they must support every version into perpetuity. But if Netflix removes a feature, I can't download the old version. So they should be barred from putting a barrier in place preventing access or use of it.

Dangit, stupid HTML filter! The was supposed to be "Oh no, open source doesn't support [INSERT ENSHITTIFICATION HERE] like customers want!"

I think it was intended to be drippingly sarcastic. Sloppy is pretending that the failure to screen cast is a feature that customers wanted, then constructing a sentence like "Oh no, open source doesn't support like customers want!"

This is why browsers should not launch apps without first prompting. Steam, Discord, Roblox, GlobalProtect VPN, and BeyondTrust, Office 365/Teams, and gzillions more work this way. You should never click the "[ ] Don't prompt me any more for this application" button. This allows any arbitrary web site to get out of the browser sandbox and chain to security flaws (or even direct features like "subscribe to podcast") that are in the application.

Who in this thread is worshipping Steve Jobs? Who said he has super powers? Do you just have an automated filter that finds any post that mentions Steve Jobs and then starts posting flamebait? Does it have a list of everything he ever did wrong so that you can randomly post a response? There is as much to learn from people who you hate as the people you admire.

This is why nobody can discuss anything rationally on the internet. When someone post something that Joe Biden did right, a troll will inevitably pollute the discussion with "Nyah nyah, you left wing wokists worship him." When someone posts something that Donald Trump did right, another troll else will jump in and say "Nyah nyah, Trump is an orange man with small hands." In the name of Socrates, try to keep your easily-triggered brains on topic!

Yes!! And:

The fact that the user hand-edited the inputs and it *still* got it wrong, tells us that the company doesn't actually care if their product even works.

I agree we're in the state of decline. Every nation in history has gone through or is going through the same cycle of ramping up, peaking, and then declining.

It's not just in the level of formal education people absorbed .... It's everywhere. I've always been into music and played in an alt-rock band for a while, back in the 1990's. I used to say there was no such thing as "bad music". It was all subjective and anything could be pleasing to the ears of the right listener. In recent years, I'd have to say that's still a fact -- but ... we're seeing a sharp increase in popular music that's mostly computer-generated or simplistic/repetitive, vs requiring a lot of musical skill. How many of today's rock songs actually incorporate complex guitar parts? How many have complicated drum riffs or musically interesting bass lines? Even with just the lyrics -- I'd say it's the exception, today, for a song to tell a full story or have deep meaning or clever lyrics. With your classic rock of the 60's and 70's, that was more of the norm.

The movie industry is the same way. Our local theater has such poor attendance for the latest Hollywood spew, they had to resort to showing random documentaries, which turn out to be far more interesting and draw in a more intelligent crowd, willing to pay the ticket prices.

New math isn't the problem -- new math was never the problem. Standards are the problem.

You do realize the young people aren't choosing their own education, right? Its the previous generations making those changes.

You're likely falling into the logical thinking word problem portion of those students.

Actually, Apple did deliver that capability but developers pushed-back and didn't want it.

Jobs was indeed a dick, but he did not make advertisements claiming features that do not exist.

Steve Jobs would not release a product until it actually did what they claimed it would do. I don't understand why this is some strangely difficult lesson for CEOs to understand. I suppose with the success of Musk and his ilk that idea seems quaint.
