Terrible type system, terrible standard library, terrible compatibility and lack of many features

All of those things are by design

That makes it even worse.

Life is like a long running tv show. Some previous seasons were awesome. This one sucks but I have to stay around to find out what happens next.
Doesn't matter how bad it currently is, the curiosity to see which twist it pulls next is stronger.

Ironically if their products were not so fragmented and short lived, some of them would likely make money.

I mean do you really need to develop a new chat app every 2 years?

I finally understood midi by comparing it with emojis. The unicode standard only defines characters and their meanings, but it's up to os or app developers to choose an actual visual representation to display.

I'm disappointed any media I uploaded to Reddit is not also exported.

All my dank memes... 😢

Reddit lives from user engagement. Even bad ones mean ad view = profit.
So the best protest is not to use it in any way.

Do you go outside? Abuse, violence, gambling and drugs are universal constants of human existence anywhere in the world.

These seems to be a big divide somewhere about Airbnb properties. Most of those I stayed in were like yours. Rental apartments for visitors wanting a nice place to themselves.

Looks like there are at least 2 more sides to it - frauds trying to cheat customers on stuff like cleaning fees and insane rules. And people renting out their spare room.

Use "they" for everyone. Even those who prefer traditional he/she.
I have better things to do than think about anyones gender.

Internet is already full of bullshit SEO content. Sometimes written by humans, and quite often by bots. For years now. What's coming is an arms race between different content generating AIs and search/answer AIs.
