To some extent. You’re probably referencing the Sermon on the Mount, though (Matthew 5 and 6, including the bits about praying in private and not making a display of your faith), and that wasn’t exactly a private affair.

I don’t think that’s quite right. If the article is correct, the compromised version of Homebrew that the first employee installed allowed them to find out information about the team, which helped with the subsequent social engineering attack. No AI so far.

The subsequent piece of malware the second employee installed during the fake interview process was designed to allow external access, so the attackers were able to remotely make use of internal AI systems that could perform privileged actions and open up bigger holes in the company’s security.

I can hear every syllable.

Weird. Neither OpenStreetMap nor CoMaps does any automatic address interpolation or inference. All the data you see there was either imported from a suitably-licensed authoritative source or added by a contributor.

If you’re seeing misnumbering of addresses, it’s almost certainly human error, but it won’t be a regular thing.

I think a lot of people underestimate the maintenance burden of options like this. It’s another trope you see often with UI changes – “just let me switch it back.”

The problem is that now, even if your UI is super nicely decoupled from your engine, everything you change under the hood is likely to need at least regression testing in two places rather than one – that workload has doubled.

As it happens, though, with your specific example, there’s someone actively maintaining a GIMP fork mod called PhotoGIMP to achieve this, but I notice despite recent(ish) commits, they’re still a minor version and a year behind.

Ironically, this attitude is a major blocker for the GIMP team when it comes to bigger UI/UX changes – there’s a vocal contingent who will react negatively to any change that requires a little adjustment to workflow or muscle memory, or even if things just look different.

Firefox’s incredibly light-touch visual changes recently are a great example of this; it’s not “this is demonstrably worse,” it’s “change makes me uncomfortable.”

I do totally appreciate that changes can be genuinely problematic for a subset of users, especially the elderly, but the vitriol that gets spewed when a project overhauls a UI embarrasses me as a user.

Side note: the GIMP UI is generally pretty good these days. There’s room for improvement, and it has a learning curve (as do all complex applications, to some degree) but it’s shed a lot of its least intuitive aspects.

“Though thou belongst in a salad
Thou,” I cried, “art yet a hazard
Ghastly grim and ancient mallard
On the night’s Plutonian shore”

Just wanted to chime in and say that OP’s experience is exactly how it would go down at my workplace too, despite the deluge of downvotes they’re getting, and I also likely would have looked at alternatives instead of proposing it, for the sake of my professional reputation. I think it’s likely true for a ton of people.

That’s not to say that people aren’t being over-serious if they see the original branding and balk at it, but that’s out of OP’s hands.

Also, don’t use Brave.

Brendan Eich is both vocally and financially opposed to LGBT+ equality. The browser has actively enabled targeted ads. They’ve actively promoted crypto and have been in bed with specific crypto brokers to promote its use. They’ve been adding their own promo codes to URLs for private benefit.

They don’t give a shit about privacy. Don’t touch them with a barge pole.

100%. I’m not quite as ardently anti-Windows as most on this community from a UI/UX standpoint, but both Bluetooth and audio device switching are genuinely terrible experiences in Windows. I find myself pairing audio devices from scratch all the time on my work laptop, and it’s painful every time.

I’m just guessing, but has a “peculiar” new species of Jurassic squid been found in Wyoming?

Nancy Mace is not a radical feminist by any definition. She’s vocally anti-abortion, she portrays LGBTQ+ people as child predators, and she was part of Trump’s 2016 campaign even after the “grab 'em by the pussy” hot mic incident.

He’s definitely drilled extensively on talking points. His wittering is always a mix of the things Fox & Friends got him riled up about, attacks on people who’ve contradicted him, and some Quixote-esque attempt at the points he’s meant to make that week.

This is a nice anecdote, and it’s meaningful and valuable in its own right, but it’s not Vonnegut.

The source seems to be this 2020 Tumblr post, where the OP text is someone’s own anecdote following a Kurt Vonnegut extract. I guess someone’s read the post and got confused as to where his bit ends.
