I wouldn't say it's ugly per se, but it's rather distinctive and we have developed an association with it.

The "slop" part they're talking about is the logo itself. You can tell it's made by Sora because of the font, and to an extent the proportions of items being off.

And you can barely even tell this was made with Sora.

Brah, your comments post twice. Same happened in that other thread where you complained about K-Pop.

I'm hesitant asking my parents for advice because it will be grounded in their... *clears throat* outdated worldview.

Is it weird that I can tell this is a Xiaomi store?

I love how unhinged that show is.

I don't think users actually write those. You just pick the amount of stars and the term is hardcoded for the amount. It most likely is just a translation mishap.

True, that totally happens to me all the time, too. For example, yesterday it was repeatedly insisting that there's a certain checkbox in qbittorrent settings, which wasn't there. I gave it the screenshot of the setting page and it "realized" it's named differently. So in the end, it helped me with something that I couldn't google properly. It's a supplementary tool for me.

Happened to me yesterday. I have an old 4K TV, every component I used to connect to it had HDMI 2.0+ capabilities. Neither laptop nor Steam Deck would output 4K60, only 4K30. Tried getting another cable and a hub, same result. And I know that my Chromecast outputs 4K60 to this TV, so I was extra confused. In my desperation, asked GPT-5 what was I missing, and it plainly told me that those old Samsung TVs turn off HDMI 2.0 support unless you explicitly turn it on in TV settings under "UHD Color". Apparently Chromecast was doing chroma subsampling, but computers refused and wanted full HDMI 2.0 bandwidth...

Sure, he might be doing it for the wrong reasons, but at least he's doing the "right" thing. Isn't that the best one could expect of him?

Criticizing someone else’s censorship in order to defend your own right to free speech is as valid a reason as any. In fact, I’d say it’s the very point.
