judging by project 2025 they can stop their own agenda by not being able to agree what it is.

But it has been changed a lot?

The most basic immediate execution four operation calculator might still look the same, but that’s because it’s a very simple thing and you can’t really get much wrong. For scientific calculators the UI has changed lots. As have the requirements. It used to be a specialist tool used to do thousands of calculations daily. An expensive thing that had to earn its keep. RPN and stuff like that made sense for people who could easily get back weeks of training in just a few years of being slightly more efficient while working. Now we have the natural order delayed execution thing, because the calculators are mostly for students. Who need the UI to be as easy to grasp as possible, because they won’t ever have to do enough calculations to benefit from a faster but harder UI. That doesn’t mean any of those approaches to UI is better or worse. Some things require instructions and making everything idiot-proof shouldn’t ever be the ultimate goal (check out modern computing for why!).

It’s funny, because sponsorblock and vanced only exist because of youtube’s greed. And now I can’t imagine using their service without them, even if they rollback the annoying ads. And they can’t implement them. It’s really the problem they made for themselves.

like others have pointed out, this makes automatic detection easier not harder if true. Just cut the segments that move around, audio analysis and even transcripts (they don’t have to be good! just good enough to identify missing segment!) are pretty mature.

that’s why we don’t have couches or tables outside of USA. You just can’t go buy them and there’s no very easy and practical way around it.

It’s somewhat based in reality, isn’t it? I’m still gaming in my late 30s and most people I get to play with are on average 10-15 years younger than me. People leave the hobby with time, en masse, and almost no one my age seems to be joining. There are some games that let you ignore that more (single player, matchmaking. Although even in single player, what’s the point of gaming, if you don’t get to discuss it with most of your friends), but some are really difficult to continue playing (coop :().

And aren’t magic. Switching fully to renewables is probably both impossible (still require non-renewable materials to make) and requires lowering of living standards (unless you want to build a dyson swarm you need to stop growing your energy use, which pretty much means recession, because our economy is energy driven - and if you need a different economic system for a technological solution to work it’s not really a technological solution, is it. Also renewables are still pretty annoying when it comes to matching your output to your supply, and not being able to turn your AC whenever you feel like it is already a lowering of living standard for the richest countries).

And while we wait for them to “solve” the problem, we’re already likely past 1.5°C, even if we just stick to not starving, having water to drink, and not freezing during winters from tomorrow.

I don’t think that’s how it works. Plastic degrades fast (especially with UV radiation), it just doesn’t fully go away. That’s how we get microplastic and harmful chemicals everywhere.

How is that gonna help?

good thing no historic monuments/items were destroyed and your comment is completely off topic.
