I literally cannot scroll the viewport down any further, and since this AI Assistant (which is completely irrelevant here! no summary is necessary!) is perma-pegged to the bottom of the frame, I cannot see what is behind it.

@adobe.com I am indifferent to you having an AI assistant in Acrobat, but I find it VERY annoying that I can't move or hide it. It's getting in the way of my content.

Stop trying to force your AI shit on us.

It bothers me more than it should that the affirmative green text doesn't read "Yes you can!"

Small reminder that this is the same health insurance company that only recently had their CEO…removed.

They learned nothing, presumed it was a fluke, or are trying to cash in and get out.

Anyone who has worked in tech long enough has heard this hubris before. This is some mid-level engineer BS.

The FAA software may be old, but it works. The failures they’ve had are staffing issues.

Legacy code becomes legacy because it works well enough to be around for a long time.

This makes no sense.

How are my messages using nearly 5GB when my “top conversations” are not even 10% of that?

Ive already gone through and deleted all conversations that arent people
i speak with regularly, and deleted nearly all photos from message threads.

Where is this data hiding?

One last one:

completely missing a passage in the Harris translation. His has been the most spartan, overall

The final line in all five is a common refrain in this text, though every translator words the phrases differently each time. Same underlying meaning each time but always different wording.

Look at this one -- no contradictions in meaning, but wow are the wordings so different.

Creating a composite of "Book of Five Rings" translations for research for an upcoming game.

Check out the differences in this one passage across five different translations:

3 translations say "if it doesn't work the first time, don't repeat". 2 say "Go ahead and try it a second time."

🎲✂️ I gave involving heavy flavor pulled from a translated japanese source. Every card involves three quotes, but I want the quotes to be thematically related on each card.

So I printed, cut, and am going to start grouping them later.

Calling this the "fortune cookie exercise" 😂

This is a fairly accurate representation of my presence on reddit, I suspect.

Not typically a “post my workout guy” but I hit a new personal best for leg press today — 300lbs!

(for my metric friends, thats somewhere between 100 and 1000kg)

ok this is a very minor accomplishment all things considered but last night i got the last ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I needed (Mirror/propeller cup). I now have all of 150cc & Mirror.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ requires 1st place in all four races of the circuit.

There arent many video games I play anymore but MK8 is one Im
pretty good at

The prioritization of clicks / views + the fact that the shortest path to engagement is trolling has led to some really annoying internet content.
