It’s insufficiently iPhone-like.

I’m glad my ad blocker works well enough to trigger this, performing its intended operation. When ads are the intended operation of that site, it needs to be blocked.

Generated subtitles for video does sound useful. Sometimes actors mumble so horribly, I don’t understand a word they’re saying.

Wonder if it can translate it too.

My biggest gripe with Netflix is that they only have like 3 languages and no auto translation. And even bigger gripe is that it's because of the union racket. They apparently need to pay hundreds of thousands for something computers do for free. Insanity.

It's licensing and/or product decision, not union labor.

I guarantee you for most (if not literally all) titles you see, they actually have more subtitles, they just don't / won't show them to _you_.

Netflix has gotten pretty good at VPN detection, but you used to be able to see this _very_ clearly by VPNing to a different country in the EU, and the available audio and subtitle languages changed dramatically.

If the color scheme weren’t so atrocious, it would almost be possible to read what it says.

WTF. Enshittification expands apace.

“Was” is the operative word here. Us humans have no chance in hell against the deluge of generated slop.

Microslop Copilot for Voice! After they renamed Office, they surely will rename this one, too.

Of course, did you think fleeing from Microslop to Google would spare you the ads?
