I wonder if the people who write this sort of BS-filled prose really believe in what they're writing. To be completely honest, the style almost sounds like LLM output.

>>userbi+(OP)
It is likely written by some copywriter. That person believes in nothing, they are simply performing a task that has been assigned to them.

>>userbi+(OP)
They usually believe some of it, because they're spin doctors not idiots.

Edge is pretty OK, good even compared to Firefox's speed issues and Chrome being Chrome.

I asked ChatGPT to write the announcement, and it was very close to this kind of language: https://chat.openai.com/share/67c7c09f-e01d-494b-aac3-0104b9...

>>userbi+(OP)
It’s the other way around: LLM output sounds like (and is) BS people wrote earlier.

>>userbi+(OP)
I was thinking something similar. I cringe when I read stuff like this. At this point it's satire.

>>userbi+(OP)
They believe what they're writing will please the people that pay them.

>>userbi+(OP)
Some 10-15 years ago I would consider that some people have to write in such way but they really don't believe in all that bullcrap. But nowadays? There's lots of people who got their brains eaten by this corporate newspeak, and they spill it even into FOSS.

>>userbi+(OP)
Its the sort of bare-faced lying that is genuinely offensive to me and just swooshes over the head of most which just makes me all the more irate.

>>userbi+(OP)
No, they don't believe in it, I know from experience. They know it's BS. They know it's bad. But it's not appropriate to say out loud things like "We made this change because we want more money and don't really care about freedom or privacy, so that's how it's going to be whether you like it or not", so they are trying to find nice sentences. But they know, trust me.

It must be a soul crushing job to spend all one’s time justifying anti-user features with corporate doublespeak.

Ouch!

>>freeAg+o21
For some people. For some of us it comes more naturally (Making BS statements to justify some hostile policy)
