"Intuitive" is basically telling you what you want and being right about it.

The opposite of telling you what you want isn't being intuitive, it's being flexible and customizable.

This being Lemmy, surely instead of Sydney Sweeney, we'll have Margot Robbie.

That's distance, not time.

I gotta say, Google Maps has been getting squirrelly on me lately tho.

Most recently, I was out fishing and wanted to get directions to the other side of the lake and a parking area over there.

The road directions had me driving a little ways up the shore, then down a fucking footpath to the water, then swimming across the fucking lake, then getting on another road and driving to the parking area.

I remember back in junior high we had to make a fake company and product and advertise it in print form for some class.

This was the height of iMac and iPod so my group basically made Apple but for corn instead and it was awesome how many corn related product names and references we were able to work in . Even had a cool minimalist ear of corn logo and our iCorn computer even had an ear of corn shaped tower lol

The only cure for "unable to eat diarrhea" is to put the patient into an induced comma.

Real talk: at this point, you may be my main reason to still be active on Lemmy.

I don't disagree, but that bigger picture sentiment isn't keeping the lights on at Joe's house.

For the record: I am completely against the notion that we should stifle technical progress to preserve jobs and the status quo, but I just also feel it's something that we owe it to ourselves as a society to manage that issue alongside the progress so nobody gets left behind.

That's how we ended up with the solidly blue rust belt turning very purple over the past 50 years, and a state of coal miners like West Virginia becoming blood red.

Sure, but I'd imagine that Joe the Bricklayer may have a slightly different reaction when you tell him the exciting news that he doesn't have to lay bricks anymore because a robot can do it.
