  • YouTube is testing a new video button on its app, allowing users to easily access random Shorts content based on their suggestions.
  • Additional features of this play button are currently unknown, but it is likely to pull content based on watch history, subscribed creators, and video likes.
  • The feature is being tested with a limited number of people and does not appear to be part of an official YouTube experiment.

Google and killing products

Microsoft and a bizarre amount of backwards compatibility

[โ€“] DarkenLM@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Backwards compatibility does have it's merit. Windows at least tries to make shit from the XP era work all the way up to 11. I've had some big headaches because some system decided to throw backwards compatibility out the fucking windows and break tons of scripts I had.
