@coldandtired Quantity != quality. If the percentage of US titles is considered a quality measure, then I beg to differ. I absolutely loathe that rubbish; the likes of orange is the new black, homeland, stranger things, house of cards - I tried them all, and I just could not watch that shite. Feels like all of them are made for people with the mindset of a 14 year old.
...to be fair, though, I hate most snot nosed european (which is where I'm from) shows as well :-D
@mott555 Exactly. I am a manager of a small development team, and I work hard to make sure that off-work time is really off-work time. I actively tell people to not install work email accounts in their personal devices, and to not check in during vacation time. I think the last time I had to have someone work on a weekend was around 2012, and even that was just to shut up a whining customer.
Work is stupid and we should all be doing far, far less of it. I think it's been several decades now that we have been advertised all this new technology as time-saving, productivity-increasing nirvana. By my math, by now we should be working 10 minutes a day, max.
@PJH Too true; there's so many of these stupid questionnaires popping up left and right these days, I just want that sort of option in all of them. "Would you recommend our service to your friends" - "maybe, if I could get to it but I can't because this stupid poll blocked me, ye wankers!"
Why do people get so worked up about stuff like this? Obviously there is an app that needs to be closed first. Then it will reboot. Sheesh.
The "I have nothing to hide" argument is, IMO, probably used mostly because of the fact that people don't think things through. Privacy has a value; life is long, do we know for sure that everything of ours, all our data, will not one day be more important to us than we think right now?
I for one am not using WhatsApp at all - tried it, and it wanted access to my address book. When I declined, it wouldn't run, so I am not using it. To me that was a clear signal that they do not care about my privacy as much as I do, and I care about my privacy more than about their app. Simple really.
"Over the last 16 months, as I've debated this issue around the world, every single time somebody has said to me, "I don't really worry about invasions of privacy because I don't have anything to hide." I always say the same thing to them. I get out a pen, I write down my email address. I say, "Here's my email address. What I want you to do when you get home is email me the passwords to all of your email accounts, not just the nice, respectable work one in your name, but all of them, because I want to be able to just troll through what it is you're doing online, read what I want to read and publish whatever I find interesting. After all, if you're not a bad person, if you're doing nothing wrong, you should have nothing to hide." Not a single person has taken me up on that offer."

@mrl FWIW: I had a Windows phone and had the same problem, when it started to die. Went with Android, hated every minute of it and finally after 5 or so months ditches the whole "smart"phone. I'm down to a dumbphone and it's just better. I can't believe people put up with that rubbish.
@marczellm So they're changing the ribbon to start minimized, so that we just see the text? Ok cool, we're almost back a full circle to menus and a toolbar, hehe :-D
@alexmedia I so agree with you on that. How can anyone release something as slow as Teams, with a straight face? I don't even know how that is possible, apart from adding tons of sleeps in there on purpose...
The whole "gamification" thingamawhatsit seems to me to be about quantity over quality, and somehow I think that most people tend to not see the difference. A million flies and so on. For the record: I am a software developer and I have used SO many, many times, but never ever once even looked at anyones "score" - I don't really even know how it is supposed to work or what it means there.
Keep them! You never know when you will run out of toilet paper.
Eh, what? Are you saying someone has actually watched all this rubbish that is on youtube? Why would anyone do that?
