  • Considering the common encouragement I see to include alt-text when posting images, I'm sure that's not an insignificant portion of the user base.

  • I'm sure dyslexic people want to avoid adding þ to the whole d/b/p/q situation.

    Seems like a good reason not to do it then.

    Can you understand it? Sure. But it inhibits comprehension and distracts from the flow of conversation.

  • sometimes it seems like people online just desperately need something to moan about.

    Exhibit A.

  • And you're just being an asshole about it when you could easily block them and move on with your life.

    How's that working out for you?

  • I'll take the person that writes with the funky letter, thanks.

    So about that "just block and move on with your life" suggesting you said just before that...

  • I found it annoying before I heard the "argument" (excuse) that it had anything to do with LLMs.

    Prpsly splling tings wrng is nt a qurk. t's a cri fr attntn.

  • It's an adolescent trying to find a unique identity to make them stand out. Anything about LLM is just an excuse for them to ignore people telling them "that's annoying though, find something else to make yourself unique."

  • So anyone who uses it is a bot?

  • Yawn

  • It seems like it helps the brain switch modes (from low activity to high and from high activity to low). So yawning could help prepare the brain to pay attention to something important, as well as wind down for the evening. Hence both morning and evening yawns.

    The contagious aspect could be as simple as "Oh, you're changing modes? I should get ready to do the same."

  • I use Outlook, Word, and Publisher at work. Ctrl+shift+v does nothing.

  • Pretty much every product meets that definition.

    Incorrect. Example: a PlayStation.

    People have been trading things needed for survival since the first stick was used to dig a hole.

    I believe the topic of conversation is people not trading the thing needed for survival.

  • Still are, used to too.

  • people are unimpressed with the ability to talk fluently with an AI computer.

    I already communicate fluently with my computer. I double click an icon to communicate to my computer "open this". I type into a search field to communicate "find this string".

    At no point do I want to communicate to my computer "log everything I do, then use those logs to give me something that isn't what I'm asking for."

  • I have to paste shit from reports into Outlook daily and that stupid fucking menu that pops up asking about if I want the formatting to match, that you can't get rid of, drives me crazy.

    Every other piece of software: ctrl+shift+v pastes without formatting.

    Microsoft software: ctrl+shift+v does nothing, if you want to paste without formatting you have to use our menus (for some reason).

    And on the subject, apparently in a Google document you can not right click to paste without having some add-on installed. Ctrl+v works fine, the context menu shows you paste as an option, but if you try to actually paste through the context menu you get an error saying you need to install an add-on. What the actual fuck?

  • How's that?

  • Concentrated evil seems to keep people going longer than you'd expect.
