Since Beehaw isn’t federated with the instance you linked, I’ll paste the comment you linked here for anyone who doesn’t want to mess with opening it externally:

This article is based on a report from the Independent https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/china-hypersonic-flights-speed-concorde-b2051192.html nowhere does it say they have completed a test flight.

The brand Space Transportation, also known as the company Beijing Lingkong Tianxing Technology, has released an animated video which shows how its proposed “space flights” might look

That’s awesome. I hadn’t heard about that. I love silly shit like that! :)

Ooh, this looks like it could be nice. Thanks for mentioning it!

Damn. Thank you for sharing this here, Alyaza!

Microsoft fired its entire QA team 10 years ago, and shifted the responsibility for testing onto developers. They also got rid of their dedicated hardware lab where software would be tested on many different hardware combinations.

That…makes SO much sense and explains a lot! Thanks for mentioning it.

Once again I find myself thinking, “Dammit, Google!”

Thank you very much for the text summary, I really appreciate it :)

Agreed! This is an awesome comment. Thank you for putting it all into words so well! :)

I think it doesn’t seem like a kind post like Beehaw is supposed to be. I’m also not sure why it’s in the ‘humor’ community.

I believe it’s a fantasy/for funsies mock-up of what the gaming store/launcher application Steam maybe could have looked like if it was done in a style similar to Windows 7’s styling and other computer applications and websites during that era. Looks like maybe MySpace and Windows Live Messenger may have been some inspiration

I hope that helps. I may be leaving stuff out or wording things oddly since I’m pretty brain foggy due to health issues, but no one had answered ya (that I can see) and I wanted to try to help ya out 😅

You’re my favorite customer!

Ha!

Just in case it makes you feel any better: I’m a native English speaker who always aced the reading comprehension tests back in school, and I read it the exact same way. Lol! I’m glad I wasn’t the only one. :)

Of course you do.

Yikes! Thanks for sharing this, OP.

Apparently so. It’s supposed to come out in the summer of 2026. Here’s an article about it. I just learned of it from this post, too.

I found this page that says they removed that feature on mobile for some reason (ugh,) but if you scroll down there’s a possible workaround that may work for your purposes. You could swap out the Firefox shortcut on their home screen with an ‘open Google(.)com in Firefox’ shortcut.

Cover that butthole, averyminya!

Would you mind sharing a link to it here if it’s not any trouble? (Or your handle if that’s easier for you) I’m always looking for new stuff to check out and new people to follow on Mastodon

One toke is over the line? Sweet Jesus!

Outlook.com, duh!

Please feel free! I’m glad you liked it enough to steal it and comment saying so. :) That made me smile!
