It's also Microsoft's get-out-of-jail-free card here; someone else ripped the ebooks, processed them, and uploaded them under a CC0 Public Domain license. "How were we meant to know the release wasn't authorized?"
I agree that CoMaps and similar apps don't have the feature set that signed-out Google Maps users are losing in this move by Google, so it's not totally relevant.
I don't agree with just calling CoMaps a navigation app in the sense of "how do I get to Point B", though. In well-mapped areas it has business information including specifics about the shop/restaurant, opening hours, accessibility, payment methods, etc. It has points of interest that give information about a location's history and culture, as well as ancillary information from Wikipedia/WikiData. It has information about green spaces, vehicles and bicycle parking, waterways, sports clubs and tracks/pistes, toilets and other public services, benches, water points, and a bunch more.
Bixby's only visual representation was a lowercase "b" in negative space on blue leaf/teardrop shape. S Voice was a microphone. It's never had a humanoid avatar.
Siri's was a handwritten "Siri" with a green circle for the dot on the "I"; after Apple bought it, it was a microphone and then an abstract blue/purple design. It's never had a humanoid avatar.
Google Now wasn't stand-alone and didn't have any particular design - the button was a microphone in the Google palette. Google Assistant got an abstract set of circles in the Google palette. It's never had a humanoid avatar.
So I guess we're just talking about Cortana, unless I've missed any notable ones?
(Edit: Alexa didn't have an avatar; the logo was a lowercase "alexa" in the Amazon style with the smirking Amazon arrow. Evi had a plain circle with a dot and an arc, like a cyclopean emoji. Ivona was a headless service.)
I just flicked through a full month of their posts on Bluesky, assuming I'd find some that could plausibly be seen as harassment. I found nothing other than spotlighting of public representatives who have accepted Israeli lobby money, presented factually; the rest is pretty much all endorsements of alternative US governmental candidates.
Could you spotlight a few posts that demonstrate what you're saying?
In the old days of feudal Japan, a samurai warrior would shout "Mi no hodo o shire!", 'Know your place!' at anyone who dared to show insufficient respect. And with that, a sword would be brought swiftly down upon the poor unfortunate's head. Well, you might not have to fear a sword any more but it would still be wise to always remember your place. Even if you don't have the language skills, a softening of the voice, a discreet awareness of the other person's personal space and undemonstrative body language go a long way showing respect.
Later versions seem to have "身の程を知れ", but it looks like they changed the page a few times.
I think the difference is the perception of whether a piece of Lego is "a Lego"; in Europe, that's typically not the way the word is used.
I started writing a rebuttal that amused me until I noticed I'd misread your comment, and I don't want to delete it, so despite being irrelevant to what you've said...
How many super glues do you use for a repair? Do you play on an astroturfs field? Are people carrying maces in their bag for self-defence? Do you eat Jell-Os and burn kerosenes?
The pun works verbally if a werewolf (literally "man-wolf") is understood to be a hybrid of man and wolf during the full moon. Instead of changing form into a werewolf, he's changed form into a warehouse.
Written down, if he turned into a half-man, half-house he'd be a werehouse, and if he turned into a half-man, half-warehouse he'd be a werewarehouse.
If you're using KDE, apparently changing your system application style might help - Breeze, for example, has an option for visible scroll arrows. Link.
In any case, it's a GTK thing, not a LibreOffice thing.
