That's pretty neat. I do hope they do some solid UI/UX research on it, and figure out their own way of smoothing things out without simply "making it like Photoshop" like the grouchy masses are clamoring for. :p
Blender had some odd ideas at first, but I really appreciate their unique approach that, IMHO, makes an Autodesk product feel heavy and kludgy by comparison.
Yeah there's absolutely this feedback loop conditioning where nobody tells us this. And even if we know it, actually putting it into practice is such a mountain.
I'm vehemently anti-authoritarian, but damn if the "yield to authority" conditioning isn't shock-collaring me every time some douche in a suit wants to talk to me like I'm a child in trouble.
Now the question is if they actually pay that or if they interview and say "Well, depending on experience so we'll start you off at $10 and see how it goes." Lol
I remember just trying this out when I was in school. The idea seemed interesting. It was a folder you could store on portable media like a floppy, a USB, or maybe even a CD-RW(to be crazy). I remember it was still in XP.
It basically worked like manual file syncing. It tried to automate how you'd work on something and keep a portable version of the files up to date.
I seemed to have much more luck just doing the copying myself though...my "briefcase" folder felt clunky and prone to losing files in the worst case, or just being generally confusing.
Even today, Deus Ex proves to be relevant and provokes discussion. True art.
Who's reinstalling it right now?
"I set this bottle of dasani by a bank for like three months so it would absorb the essence of currency. Don't trust 'big money' out there with their 'coke covered paper.' This is organic! Water is natural!"
I had the same thing except from an in-clinic consult about my general health.
Testosterone supplementing was presented like "Well levels vary to each man but some do a little better with more so it could help your endurance and energy levels."
Ok sure, why not? They're a doctor right? Trust experience? Trust science? All that?
I got a shot 2 or 3 times but then quit it. I'm so freaking glad I did, after I discovered all these accounts about it causing heart problems, possibly reproductive issues, and all this other crap. It was difficult to find someone who was actually glad they did it.
Happy with the hormone levels I've got, thank you very much.
I felt so scammed, like I was just used as some "lead" for another clinic to profit from me over something that potentially would cause a ton of long-term harm.
"...root access to just about everything on the company server."
The urge to set up a cron for a random time after my departure to sudo rm -rf / would be so strong.
Or a Python script that quietly swaps all the data tables' values, so the aggregate information looks valid but is functionally worthless.
a gun needs to be fired.

That glass Lizz Blizz was divine...and I later learned it was like 350 calories, mostly from sugar, in a single bottle.
Holy crap lol.
Fax machines are such bad things though.
Faxes and egregiously copying temporary things to paper are the worst.
Sorry, I just worked in a community computer center where people wasted so much paper trying to print stupid things from websites, and were forced to send 80 pages to their lawyers/government/propertylords/whatever, through a dial-up connection in terrible black and white, for $1.00 a page.
It took like 5 seconds per page and to actually send took between 5-20 minutes. . .if it didn't just error out and force you to start over.
The worst nonsense is forcing people to download and print some 50 page agreement just so they can sign two pages and fax it back. That should be a jailable offense lol.
Cash and paper can stay.
Can we PLEASE just make normie-friendly email encryption so faxes can die for good though?!
I noticed you mentioned fax twice. Sorry if you're a paper company rep or something. I'm just speaking from a place of pain lol.
"mostly". The optimism in this statement LOL.
