I wish there was an extensibility model to plug in articles/links from LinkedIn feed or news outlets I’m already paying for - that would save me time.

100% agree. The market only continues to get more competitive for Windows to keep those users, and I feel like what they try to push onto my personal computer continues to get worse.

I agree, but there has been interest in monetizing the consumer sockets, particularly 10+. As consumers stay with hardware longer but still expect upgrades and the Store didn’t quite pan out - but a bridge to Bing does bring in real revenue per user.

I believe the problem is that few people want to pay for an OS, and so the Windows group is trying to find a way to pay for the engineers - and Bing is a convenient monetization vehicle for them to try and attach to…as vacuously click-bait driven as it is.

The grievance was even enshrined as the 4th Amendment of the Constitution

I was coming here to say this - I read the article, clicked the 404 and saw it was back up (redirected).

The question is whether they are slow at setting up the redirects or whether they are purposely leaving the 404s just long enough to generate rage articles to make them look over-reactionary.

Andy Jassy is the President and CEO of Amazon - Bezos stepped away in 2021 to chase rockets and…other stuff. He’s still “executive chair”, whatever that means, but he doesn’t run Amazon and its businesses.

Note my family is still avoiding all of the Amazon businesses, though.

…and that behavior is partly why Hillary and Kamala lost. A large number of folks struggle to support someone who doesn’t check all of their personal goals / approaches - leaving the party tent fractured and conflicted.

But I agree that dwelling can be unhealthy - much like constantly picking at an unhealed scab, constantly opening it back up to the world and risking additional infections.

I believe that it is more to understand than it is to dwell - to learn from the past so that you are less likely to repeat it…to better understand where potential blind spots may exist so that you can mind them better…and to be able to release them so that they burden you no longer.

His YOLO relationship with the truth is the root of his semi-regular SEC issues and issues with the various governmental protection agencies that his team is cutting.

But he does this in his private companies - he fires essential workers and also makes false statements (roadmaps, pump and dump schemes, etc.). I think the difference here is that he is being fact-checked/challenged, which doesn't happen in his privates because he stuffs his board fully of lackies.
