Microsoft announces sweeping Windows changes - but no apologies

When I read that paragraph, I was gobsmacked. They "spent months analyzing feedback"? Seriously? They needed charts and graphs to figure out that people just want Windows to work?

Should they have not analyzed feedback? Out of everything you could complain about Microsoft, complaining about them taking their time to get it right this time wouldn't be one of them. I mean, they aren't going to get it right this time, but that seems like a different complaint.

The question from the petition that the Alberta Prosperity Project is proposing is "Do you agree that the Province of Alberta shall become a sovereign country and cease to be a province in Canada?" which is currently being held up in the courts, while the Forever Canadian's currently ongoing petition is "Do you agree that Alberta should remain in Canada?"

There is currently no ongoing petition where signing it indicates a desire for Alberta to leave Canada.

Colour optical illusion

Reply in thread

I guess it depends. Are people looking at the left image and going "Yep, that is definitely a dark black and navy blue"? Using a colour picker, the darker areas show up as somewhere around #7a6642, which definitely isn't the black #231e16 we see on the right. Same with the lighter spots: we're seeing something around #8596bb, which again isn't the navy blue of #3a45c3

Quite simply, I cannot make the dress in the left image look like the dress in the right, even if the dress in those images are supposed to be identical.
