Having worked on at least one web app with a name that started with "Web", I'm not surprised.

> Competency Story: The customer and product owner can write BDD tests in order to validate the app against the requirements

> Prompt: Write playwright tests for #token_reference, that run a named factored-out login sequence, and then test as human user would that: when you click on Home that it navigates to / (given browser MCP and recently the Gemini 2.5 Computer Operator model)

This explains all the new random GPO settings I had to go disable at the office this week! (A lot of users are reporting performance issues with browsers, seems like all the browsers are adding AI things... seems like a good place to start.)

  • This is as bad or worse than agreeing to voice search with them.

    Hadn't realized we've all been opted-in.

    My voice assistant used to be able to create a reminder without siphoning everything out to "must be reviewed because it's AI" remote AI.

    Is it possible to use non-AI voice search on YouTube (with GoogleTV) without signing one's life away?

    Try voice searching for "weather in [city]" with YT on GTV: it launches another (Google) app instead of just adding text to the search field.

    When they asked for suggestions for OpenAI's fork of Chromium, I suggested adding fuzzy and regex search in a drawer and sending it upstream; like vimgrep for Chromium. That would help solve for Search, like the original mission of the company.
