When I was in high school in the 90’s, we had a soda machine that was owned by the school, and had all the different brands - Coke, Pepsi, RC, etc.
One year, they took out the old, independent machines and replaced them with Pepsi machines that were owned by either Pepsi Co or some nameless vendor. They only contained Pepsi brand products - Pepsi, Mountain Dew, etc.
At first we were annoyed, but eventually… I’m now a Pepsi guy for life. I drastically prefer it to Coke or anything else.
At the time, their ad slogan was “The Choice of a New Generation” - And they ensured that by making contracts favorable to school district’s bottom lines in a successful attempt to groom me into being a Pepsi guy.
And it worked. I was groomed, and I still abide by my programming to this day, even while being fully aware of it.
If you think you’re immune to corporate programming because you’re aware of it and are a skeptic at heart - you aren’t.
The mad lady is also pointing with her thumb, which is surprisingly off-putting. And I love how the sleeve melds into the arm, that’s fashionable.
Can anyone confirm whether or not it’s built on Electron?
The closest I can find is from Feb 2023, saying that at that time it would not be Electron:
Mozilla also still plans to use the Firefox web browser as the core platform for Thunderbird. That leaves Thunderbird as one of the few cross-platform mail applications that isn’t an Electron app or based on web technologies in some way
So possibly Electron-like but based on Firefox rather than Chromium?
Am I the only one who still uses the subscriptions page? I get a chronological list of all my subscribed channel’s video releases. I have seen zero indication that I’m missing anything at all, and I fairly frequently go to channel’s pages to check that my subscription list is complete.
I’ve never clicked a single notification bell, and don’t rely on the home page’s recommendations/sorting, unless I’m actively seeking out new recommendations.
