@aeva@mastodon.social Oh and of course they're still sending migration threats to people who have already opted out, because apparently Google can't afford to do accurate statekeeping for a few thousand accounts
@aeva@mastodon.social Well... they've been backpeddling already, offering "non-commercial" users the option to "opt out of the transition" and keep their old free plan with no billing "for the foreseeable future", so I think somebody over there finally woke up
Of course this is wayyyyyy too late and they've already lost the trust of everybody, and people seem to be using it mostly to get an extension of their migration timeline
Huh, since when do YouTube's auto captions work in picture-in-picture mode?

Hope they're happy with their 0.01% operational cost savings 🙃
Also keep in mind that probably a good chunk of people using Legacy were early adopters, tech-savvy teenagers who now have some sort of important role at a tech company... I'm not sure Google quite realizes what a massive faux pas this whole thing is
I find it hilarious how Google trying to force Legacy Apps users to upgrade to a paid plan, has resulted mainly in people upgrading to a paid plan *with different companies entirely* and jumping ship from Google anyway
@f0x but has it been upgraded with a counter yet??
@maia @AgathaSorceress@eldritch.cafe Ahhh yeah that sounds like an entirely different flow from what I used
@zkat I mean, they did call it 'Discord', can't say you didn't get a warning there :p
@kim I also like low-force keyboards, just not with that little travel :p Especially since my motor control is Bad(tm)
(I have a mechanical keyboard with Gateron Browns on my desk)
@kim Also all laptop keyboards suck

me using BT headphones in speaker-only mode: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!
me using BT headphones in speaker+mic mode: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.
@kim Yeah I do pretty much all my work behind a desk, otherwise my posture would go to shit even faster than it already is :(

The primary task of the police is to protect the State and Capital against the people — you.
The rest is PR-management.

If you only washed half the dishes before having to stop, you can still write "Half the dishes" in your to-do list and check that off. It counts!
