I’m sure it’ll go well.

The dickvid potential is there.

On the phone (well, teams call): “Just open the windows app…”

I read this as “we don’t want you, the user, to interact with our 100% user-content driven website that depends on your presence to keep having value”.

Yeah, we all know that, but MS being the main force driving this is kinda nuts tho.

Trade it in or recycle it with local organizations

And what are those organizations expected to install on systems that can’t support Windows 11, Microsoft? What are they expected to install exactly?

As a dev I would try negative value in the custom field.

Add to this that some media are “baffled at what it could mean”…

Every phone out there that can be heard by people 100m away is the indication of a garbage person, that’s not linked to a brand or a specific group.

Seriously, fuck you.

It can be. Or it can be someone that had to deal with users (or was trained about it) and is limiting the chances of a user being kept out because they type something that looks like their password but isn’t, and then have to go to support.

64 characters picked at random in [a-zA-Z0-9_] is perfectly fine if password is your only option. Special character do not increase significantly the difficulty of bruteforcing it, but introduce the risk of having to manually type "}à.å÷Â!!ç-×ô@¸Á¢±ãÕß>>úÓ}¼º¤«<_`àÅû§Æ]*ÂñçÌÿ§à®&ܱ=Ú-´ð¹é$.>=;Ö if something goes catastrophically wrong.

Businesses tend to follow local laws, even outside China.

I will not say that you’re not doing the right thing, but I’d suggest reading the financial statements of Mozilla. If you think the way they’re steering Firefox is an issue, you may find a few surprises in there.

The money that goes in (and out) of Mozilla is well documented. At this point it’s mostly google. And it mostly pays for administration of the corporation itself.

Yes, you can. The same way you can disable a lot of annoying things in other programs. Still an annoyance at the expense of users, and a gateway to more passive users to click on something unexpected.

Your solution to people wanting to buy some specific drinks is “don’t buy the thing you want, buy something else”. Hardly an answer.

How to say this in a non aggressive, non condescending way…

You’re stupid.

The thing stay open and out of the way. If it’s in your face when you drink from the bottle, it means you lack the ability to rotate a loose plastic ring 90° (or even the whole bottle). If it’s in the way of your pour, same thing.

They are as unobtrusive as it gets; and you going out of your way (with rage, it seems) to do something tedious like forcibly ripping them off or cutting yourself on smooth plastic instead of looking at it and moving it, effortlessly, in any position that would not hinder you, is the paramount of silliness.

I know. It’s still sad this is encouraged, but there is little incentive to move in the opposite direction. Better to have a lot of braindead customers I guess.

Or just, putting the cap on the side and never have it be an annoyance whether you drink from the bottle, pour it in a glass, or whatever really. People complaining about that have issues.
