HP is probably the worst offender in this regard - their website is almost unusable. Lenovo is a close second, and I say this as a compulsive ThinkPad buyer.

Edit: I think a lot of commenters here aren't reading the article. This isn't about your favourite laptop, it's about why manufacturer websites suck.

It says Bachrach.

France has "only" 40 billionaires and also has the second-highest marginal tax rate in the EU at 55.4%. I know billionaires are the favourite whipping boy of the left and of Lemmy, and I support taxing them in general, but it won't fix this problem.

NDP actually.

If you live in the US, have you considered running for office?

That may be less far-fetched than it seems, if Laura "Jigsaw" Loomer still has Trump's ear: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/laura-loomer-alcatraz-alligator-lives-matter-trump-b2782150.html

Enjoy it while there are still pickers working on said farm.

This would benefit Conservatives (and the NDP to a lesser extent) and hurt the Liberals. https://www.ctvnews.ca/federal-election-2025/article/federal-election-vote-intention-split-among-age-gender-nanos/

It also helps that Andy Weir is not good at writing prose, so his books work better as screenplays.

If someone has told you they are “anti-Zionist,” but actually want to simply destroy the entire country of Israel and it’s people, then they’re not anti-Zionist, they’re simply anti-Jew.

Not its people - the country. What other term should they use if they want the complete dissolution of Israel?

Can't there be some nuance between "It's OK that the country of Israel exists" Zionism versus "The whole middle east rightfully blongs to Israel" Zionism? I've personally tangled with many "anti-Zionists" who unironically want to destroy the country of Israel altogether.

Oh wow, thanks for the recommendation. This looks perfect.

To a certain extent, yes - but that way also lies slacktivism.

Hmm no thanks, I'll keep on hating Tesla.

FWIW I thought it was a great line - a bit of a zinger, even.

I wish they'd found a larger sample, but this is still interesting. The fact that much of the time is wasted on prompting makes sense. One important thing not mentioned however is that much of the market for vibe-coding tools is non-developers, i.e. people who don't have the knowledge to actually do it themselves.

Seriously, WTF was the vet doing to that cat? Replacing every joint in its body?

Thanks for taking the time to explain - that does make a lot of sense, if you coisider being trans or gay a learned/chosen behaviour. That hadn't crossed my mind, which is why the premise seemed impossible to me. The difference, of course, between being gay and being a gambler is that nobody is born a gambler, therefore the comparison doesn't really hold up. That's why I used the creationism example: Carbon-14 is what it is. LGBT people are who they are. They didn't choose to be that way any more that C-14 chose its decay rate. I suppose that doesn't matter all that much in practice - if more people thought like you rather than being homo- or transphobic, the world would undoubtedly be a better place than it is.
