I'm not sure if I understand. Isn't this a normal thing, Amazon just made it look like you're normal one, plus "Amazon"? I could be misunderstanding.

edit judging by the down votes I guess I misunderstood?

You've been able to capture and replace context menus in browsers for years. I don't use them in my development because they're annoying but this is one that I played with one time:

https://carbon-components-svelte.onrender.com/components/ContextMenu

(The feature has been Dollar Store DRM for years - that's how you just disable the context menu altogether. "We have DRM at home"- type DRM.)

To be clear, the reason this isn't common is because of OP's response -- it feels intrusive and the more "value" it adds (ie how customized it is) is proportional to how intrusive it feels.

To make matters worse, as far as I know, you can't replace the context menu just sometimes, like, it would be cool to just customize options on images for example, or links -- but it's whole page or nothing -- so using the feature at all means using it everywhere, and, for me anyway, it's kind of a lot of effort, which sits on the scale with "intrusive and annoying" to outweigh the value add.

I'm not being obtuse, I'm pointing out that that person is full of shit. His/her "contribution" is just as garbage as the posts they criticized.

You don't have a "case," you have an opinion that amounts to no-true-Scotsman. If any of these posts are "Reddit brained," but yours is somehow not, then "Reddit brained" is an empty concept you fill with whatever you don't like. Your post, like the ones you're criticizing, is short, low-effort, unfriendly, critical, and contributes nothing to the discussion. You're just expressing the opinion that you're unhappy - and, as far as I can tell, no one asked. If you're allowed to post your irrelevant, negative opinion, then why aren't they?

If you don't like other people, with different motives, interests, and moods, joining your social media platforms, I have bad news.

Although, this is the fediverse - you could make your own server and just defederate every time you're about to make a post like you did here. The rest of us would be grateful to see less toxicity around here.

Waitstaff get paid well below minimum wage; tips are required to make up the difference.

Delivery drivers - and everyone else who isn't waitstaff - get paid minimum wage. It sucks, but that's the deal.

That's so weird, I thought everyone had already heard about neovim. Why are people still using vs code?

Now that vim has consumed the corpse of the emacs vs vim debate, it has only grown larger, and more ravenous

Bill Gates was and still is a shady piece of shit. Microsoft is a lot better without him - but that's a low bar.

Personally what bothers me is that they're starting to treat developers as users, the same as they treat Grandpa's operating system, or Beth in accounting's office suite: make everything "easy" and "intuitive" and "helpful". I became a developer because I got tired of my computers getting in my way, so now I make them do what I want. I don't want or need an intuitive, helpful interface. If you're going to make a tool for me to use, just make the tool do that thing and that's it.

I've mostly moved on from GitHub, only using it for little pushes because the green dots look good for prospective employers.

Edit: for those if you unfamiliar with how he's been a piece of shit specifically recently: he is the primary reason why covid vaccines weren't open-sourced. Poor countries were forced to live or die based on the generosity of wealthy nations (and the infrastructure around that generosity), rather than enabling them to buy it from less expensive sources, or even make it themselves.

Not only is that just shitty on its face, let's not forget that a pandemic somewhere is a pandemic everywhere; the fact that he prolonged covid in poor countries (resulting in the death of thousands if not hundreds of thousands), he kept it from fading in wealthy countries, too (resulting in the death of thousands if not hundreds of thousands).

Gates's battle to protect "intellectual property rights" (read: take but don't give) has been a life-long thing for him, literally since childhood. His viciously selfish tactics have produced great success for him, but it's a despicable kind of success... And having "retired" and amassed more money than he could possibly spend, you'd think he could just sit back and let the rest of us get on with it, but no - that's not how his level of selfishness works - it's insatiable.

Still do. To be clear, I'm talking about the human species, not like moths or turtles or something. Smart phones are pretty common, actually.

It's the children who are wrong, all three billion of them. The only ones who are right are me and my friends. We don't have any justification or valid argument, we're just right because we say we are.

That's you. That's what you sound like.

Also who said it's a proper noun

The creator of the Gradual Interface Forget wanted people to pronounce it with a J literally because he wanted it to use the name recognition of the peanut butter - and I don't exactly care about their profits or about copyright, but it's a bad reason.

So wealthy people exploit vulnerable people and coordinate to fill the airwaves with anti-human propaganda because some people mistakenly use a J sound?

Samesies. I pretty much only went to Reddit via Relay - which still works, but they're going to a subscription model soon. I had like 10 Reddit accounts, one for music, one for politics, etc - I'll miss that level of content - but it's not like you can go back to it, it's just gone. So many subreddits are just bargain basement versions of what they used to be. Reddit killed Reddit, not you and me.
