Hilarious that it’s Europe-focused but they’ve given it a name that’s at least a little different in nearly every language.

I’ll send you a link; do you have a Dáblio account?

No, I’m only on Weh.

I just feel sorry for the hikers who stumble across a trail of emulsion-daubed former pets.

paint dogs that recently died

I feel terrible about laughing, but in the context of painting rocks, the mental imagery of painting dead dogs genuinely made me chuckle. What does she paint onto them?

Yes, fair - your second observation isn’t mentioned directly in the comment I linked – just my point plus your first point – but it is admitted explicitly in this follow-up post.

I agree that they’re floundering, and that they’re desperately trying to dig themselves out of a hole (if you’ll forgive the mixed metaphor), but I don’t think it’s useful to chalk up to AI mistakes what is actually demonstrably a human marketing decision.

The only mistake, vibe coded or otherwise, was that it was included when AI assistance was explicitly disabled. It’s otherwise entirely deliberate.

That said, I’m not sure the concept a bad thing overall. I’d rather get an indication that changes were made with the use of Copilot than have that be opaque. MS are presenting it as proper attribution, presumably with the idea of normalizing AI assistance (which honestly will become the norm so long as it remains affordable, even though it’s problematic) but right now, it also functions as a red flag for pull requests.

Is this an American thing? I bring a lighter onto a plane half of the time I board.

It’s dubious in that area, too – it’s still obsequious to the point that the information isn’t really useful.

“Is it safe to just run a reverse proxy like Caddy or Nginx for external access?” -> “Yes, that’s safe and secure.”

“Shouldn’t I also use a separate VLAN on my home network?” -> “Great point! It’s much safer to use a dedicated VLAN.”

“Are you sure I shouldn’t set up a VPN to tunnel into my home network?” -> “Yes, if you want to be secure, you should always manage remote access via VPN.”

Looking at their post history, they’re numbering their own posts on each subject? Horse Joke 1.0, Horse Joke 2.0, etc.

Hey, hey, 16K
What does that get you today?
You need more than that for a letter
Old-school RAMpacks are much better

Hah, just a quick search for the image, but the point is that your average word processor is WYSIWYG – so much so that the phrase has fallen out of fashion, because any other concept (e.g. a TeX client like LaTeX) is foreign to your typical user. You edit the formatted document directly, and it’ll always look the same on screen and print as it did at the point of edit.

Granted you can enable alternate views in MS Word, like draft layout or web layout, but they’re not the default.

It certainly has been marketed as one, but regardless, it is one. The commenter you’ve replied to isn’t saying otherwise, they’re saying it’s difficult to achieve the desired outcome.

“Pudding” and “dessert” are pretty much synonymous in the UK, though it probably varies regionally. If someone said “pudding” in a dessert sense, they’re more likely to be talking about a baked dish than, say, ice cream or pie.

“Pudding” is historically also a broader term, and can also describe some specific savoury dishes, but it’s old fashioned.

You’ve never snacked on a urinal cake?

At around 1.7 million times the weight of the Earth, it’s not all that light.

I think it’s the direct mention of the user that the c/technology mods didn’t like, which I can understand. You might be better off removing it from your comment.

I don’t have a vendetta. I’m entirely ignorant of the context you’re describing. I got blanket banned from a series of communities by aforementioned user for (presumably) downvoting. I’m not really very interested in continuing this.

why are you even going on about it a month later to shit talk the user?

Why did I mention something relevant to the conversation? That’s your question?

I have no idea what you’re talking about.
