allison[in the faculty meeting] listen, this new technology is here to stay, and it's useless to fight against it. if we want to prepare our students for the jobs of the future, we *must* teach them how to (responsibly and ethically) purchase and consume up to five Taco BellⓇ Naked Chicken Chalupas™ each day

GoodNewsGreyShoes🔞(on hiatus)@aparrish Every single time I hear the sentiment "like it or not, ______ is here to stay", I like to take a moment to reflect on the overwhelming majority of "things we were told would be permanent" that now, *shockingly*, no longer exist.😮🫢🤗🙄
@GoodNewsGreyShoes like it or not, "like it or not, _____ is here to stay" is here to stay :(

Eli the BeardedWith just a little work I found a book review claiming (then Macromedia) "Flash® is here to stay and, from what I am hearing, it gets even easier to use with each product update."
Also found what appears to be an AI content farm telling me "All in all, Macromedia Flash 8 is *one of the best tools* for designers." (With *bold* and with a big green check mark next to "Security Status" and below the "Download" button.)

Though I'm a bit sad 3D TV was abandoned so quickly. Sure, many of them were really bad, with ghosting either because of too long afterglow or not holding your head upright enough for the polarization pattern (and sometimes even badly mounted pol. sheets) and clumsy, proprietary glasses (esp. for shutter). But would this really still be an issue with more modern technology?

Corb_The_Lesser@GoodNewsGreyShoes @aparrish Most of tech journalism isn't. And hasn't been for years.
(I'm old enough to remember when ZDNet's PC Magazine did its annual printer review issue and the page count magically doubled to make room for all the printer ads they'd sold and there was absolutely no influence on editorial content at all. Nosiree.)

Exaltia@GoodNewsGreyShoes @aparrish All those examples articles sounds like pushing capitalist behavior on people on failed products.
If a marketing entity can convince consumers to just accept whatever new product they're shilling as "normal", it's FAR easier to hedge those consumers into spending money "that you'll probably end up spending anyways, somewhere down the line!🤗"
"Act fast! These LOW prices will SURELY rise as everyone else jumps on this bandwagon that definitely exists (Trust me! Like it or not!)!!😱💸🔥" 🙄🤮

Oh after the 3D TV wave went away, we bought a box full of chinese 3D glasses for cheap-ass on ali express and took them to a Metal festival. We were a big group of people, everybody put one on and then we went in front of the stage.
And when someone asked why we have them on, we replied "Because I want to see the band in 3D!"
I can tell you it's not that easy to pull that off with a straight face...
