anyone who is hopeful about xbox's new leadership probably isn't terribly aware of microsoft's past. they've done this dance a million times. "we're improving!" -> people believe it yet again -> surprise, they found a way to suck even more now.

i've been using emacs for a while and i cannot believe i've never thought to check for that. sure enough, there it is. amazing.

and reminder, these places make more money if you don't find a match. they are actively disincentivized from doing their stated job.

same is true for companies like incogni. if mass data harvesting is made illegal, they're out of a job. and many of them are owned by companies that also own data brokers. the removal process is often just sending your data to a data broker and asking if they have it, which obviously just hands that data right over in the process. they will make more money from data harvesting staying legal and they know it.

yeah, it's all true, lol.

it's emacs, though.

i'm imagining it appearing as a purple wisp in my inventory

yeah it sucks. but next time you cook that recipe or something similar you'll have a better idea of which dishes you need, yeah? plus having fewer dishes to wash can be extremely motivating, lol
