It reeks of a consultant who sold upper management via a gated demo.

Timing is about right for it to be a batch of newly minted CS grads getting into their first corporate jobs.

It could be that its success was internally attributed to a different team someone in the hierarchy favoured.

Im not saying use Edge or Bing.
I use firefox and admittedly Bing and DDG.

Im in the same boat as you, when 10 goes, Im going to go back to(see Vista Era) linux as much as possible.

That gap has flipped. Bing never told me to put glue on pizza or to jump off a bridge if depressed.

Why would anyone in 2024 honestly switch to google products.

They are worse than microsoft, and that takes effort.

People are being sterilized en mass.

Bing also grabs w3Schools as the top / AI result. However, the AI result also lets you swap to a Stack Overflow result.

And it has a bar across the top linking to different parts of the official website, including the landing page for the documentation.

I know its not chatgpt4, I never said it was?

That paragraph is on its own because it is a different topic. In this case I was using my own experience experimenting with chatgpt4 as to why I won’t be using it any time soon.

The example shown is setting a timer, then copilot suggests timeright value.

Contextually, it is bad autocomplete.

In practice, chatgpt4 is incapable of producing code to my coding standards. Edit: to clarify, its incapable of doing that in a timely enough manner that it saves me any time.

Clippy was occasionally useful as it could offer shortcuts you didn’t necessarily know about.

This is just bad autocomplete

Yeah that’s what i meant.

Fdroid app store has a lot of frankly amazing indie games.

Pirate _freecell Solitaire. is fantastic.

Also, Warframe has an iOS version(not a port), is working on an android version, and its now fully crossplay compatible.

Yes, I’ve been doing this for years. It’s great for both code readability as well as debugging.

Video support could be a “killer app” on threads to embrace and extinguish the fediverse.

No, not always. I know of a very major firm that uses google suite for everything but chat and video calls. They use MS Teams because its just that much better than google’s alternative. From the chats Ive had, the issue with Slack there is that someone high up in their IT stack hates it.

Best project Ive worked on, we went and implemented a scrict code standard, based on the code standard that a firm that contracted my team to do the work had.

Worked perfectly. Beautiful, maintainable code. Still used today without major reworks, doesnt need it. Front end got several major updates, but the back end uses what is now called microservice architecture, and we implemented it long before the phrase was common.

Got the opportunity to go back to it this year. Devs with the 2nd firm not only ignored all of the documentation we put out, they ignored their own coding standards document.

If nothing else, there is space for a competitor to MS teams in the corporate space.

Everyone else is ending up on teams, but no one actually likes it.

I’m simply saying what happens. For good or for ill.

Yeah but things get popular here, we tell our family and friends, they go out and tell people…
