It’s somewhat bizarre to me that the settings menu isn’t just a reskinned control panel that either launches the new or old items depending on what they’ve finished so far.

I can’t imagine what they’ve done is easier than rewriting control panel items in full one by one.

You can do a halfway decent job of modernizing just by having an “advanced” toggle that shows the more arcane/less used settings.

I understand the desire to race towards a minimum viable product and get the core functionality into the glossy new thing, but they already had a minimum viable product in the control panel.

It’s a motorized wheelchair that takes up twice the space and is way more expensive to build.

The decision to use Adobe suite is more likely to be a company wide decision. Part of Adobe suite lock-in is also familiarity making things faster. By promoting others, that may help future generations avoid at least part of the problem.

Google services may be much more piecemeal. Even if the boss personally happens to think there’s a productivity benefit to using a given search engine, it would be unusual to block others.

Practicing what you preach is sometimes important, but I’m not sure how much it bears on these issues. A single company eschewing either won’t make a difference. Getting the public to slowly consider alternatives may.

You’ve moved away from the part which specifies long-haul trucking. To my understanding this is an area where trains are a reasonable solution.

Last mile coverage we also have room for improvement with much smaller vehicles, like bikes.

It’s a good feature, and probably makes sense to default to on. But I know I’ll find it more distracting than useful, so I’ll turn it off.

Large tooltips on mouseover are usually distracting. Facicons, text, and additional windows do enough to remind me what my tabs are.

New features often aren’t helpful to each and every user, but as long as I can turn off the ones that are actively unhelpful to me, I’m perfectly happy to see them.

For me it also happens constantly with things like the crossword, which obviously can’t be listening.

Links between folks is part of it, but a lot is just ordinary coincidence.

Maybe English (Malta) if that’s an option

It sounds plausible? I haven’t taken the effort to figure out how to like anchovies on pizza.

The one time I tried it the result was way too salty. I think I need to find someone local that likes them and copy their order.

Bacon or pepperoni. You need something salty do to do the job that ham fails to do.

Jalapenos are semi-optional. If they’re too spicy for someone, then pepperoni might be the choice. There needs to be something spicy to complement the pineapple.

Hot take: ham doesn’t go on pizza. The pineapple isn’t the problem

Unless the policy changed recently: Brooklyn doesn’t require a NY address. I had a Brooklyn card for years, but have never lived in NY. It was about $50 a year.

When poorly written or complex, maybe. I don’t know how often I’ve had to focus on a headline.

Headlines are also written to be attention grabbing. I’d rather headline-specific grammar over clickbait. Maybe there’s a different attention grabbing technique, but for now I’ll gladly settle for headlines if given a choice.

Thanks for this. As a native speaker, it never occurred to me that headlines had separate rules that would be hard to parse as a non-native speaker.
