  • It’s such a dumb name, that it makes me genuinely furious there there are people out there who have lied and impostered their way into positions where they can make such decisions, while having absolutely no clue at all what they’re even doing in the building.

    Apple intelligence makes sense, because the abbreviation is AI. Pretty smart and simple if you think about it.

    But Copilot is the kind of name Apple would choose for its product. Things like centre stage, launchpad, facetime… They’re all very descriptive and cool sounding names of their software products. Copilot is a great name that they’re throwing away along with Cortana because their crappy practices are crappy.


  • Indigenous population scared about their wellbeing? Wellbeing from what? What possible threat has the indigenous population faced recently that you need to be all up in arms about it?

    This is a report on Gov.uk

    In 2022/23, white individuals accounted for 78% of arrests, 8% were of black individuals, 8% were of Asian individuals, 4% were of mixed ethnicity individuals and 2% were of other ethnicity individuals

    In 2022, 77% of all males prosecuted for indictable offences were from the white ethnic group, compared to 86% of all females prosecuted

    Since 2018, white defendants have had a consistently lower average custodial sentence length (ASCL) than all other ethnic groups combined for indictable offences.

    Black prisoners served the greatest proportion of their original sentence in custody.

    What is your point? What are you up in arms about exactly?


  • I don’t want to be pedantic because I love this community, but as a designer, it’s clear that the ad makes of multiple techniques to differentiate between “makes me want a” and “hot dog”.

    • the sizes are different
    • there’s a very obvious colour difference
    • the font is different
    • and “makes me want a” is grouped up in a corner, so the eye knows to go from one phrase to the other.

    Unfortunately, the colour, size, font weight and position of “hot dog” draws the eye far more than “makes me want a”. It suggests prominence and that the reader should start with it. It therefore reads

    “Hot Dog makes me want a real bad”

    Which then does work for this sub…
