I disagree completely. Millennials on average make an effort to embrace gen-z slang. And millenials actually respect the fact that new gens have new lingo. And they're open to change. Boomers just fucking hate all newer gen lingo and think that their language is superior because boomers only care about themselves. I think millenials will continue to be flexible when it comes to adopting newer slang. Sure. Younger gens will always make fun of the olds, and that's to be expected, and it's understandable, but it won't be nearly as bad as millenials making fun of their boomer parents for being completely tone deaf.
And then there's us Gen-X folk standing off to the side watching other generations bitch at each other because they always forget about us. Maybe we just need to be called "The Forgotten Generation".
Microsoft is thrilled to announce a new scripting engine: the Full Automation Platform. Do routine maintenance tasks bore you? Why not FAP instead? Want an offline media library? A few minutes' effort and you'll be FAPing to thousands of pictures and videos from all over the web. You can even FAP with friends and coworkers thanks to our online code-sharing platform! Just set up an account with our Command Line Interface Tool Online Repository for Information Sharing and your FAPing knows no bounds. Microsoft: Show us how you FAP!
It’s a dumb, hopeful prompt, as usual for social media managers.
Tangentially, I’m not sure I get the continued Edge hate. It’s not as nice as Firefox, but I’d gladly choose Edge over Chrome when using a site that requires WebKit. It at least means tabs go to sleep, and Microsoft gets to remove Google’s tracking (and, admittedly, add their own)

Haven't seen it in years. Edge is also a decent browser for when you need it. I use Firefox 99.9 percent of the time but for the odd site that it won't load edge works just fine.

Absurdly long "article" and as always the answer is at the very bottom: Yes it's fake, the Opera GX team likes to do this stuff.

If you add "ing" to a noun it is the verb form. Thus using Edge is Edging

I totally already use this for work and I work in a VERY serious industry... if anything it's catching on haha

You and your coworkers are all Edging at work?

Yeah, and we all really enjoy it. Especially when compared to googling!

So is "Edging" in this context getting really close to the search results you want but not quite there?

(not trolling, genuinely curious) how does edge help with anything WebKit? i thought it uses Chromium under the hood too
theneverfox@pawb.social · 4 pts · 2y
I think you're misinterpreting their words
Edge uses the chrome engine, they're saying that for sites that break on a non webkit browser, they use edge before chrome
aBundleOfFerrets@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 2y
Edge and chrome are both not webkit browsers
flontlocs@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y
Try saying that after the 20th time Windows pops up to "persuade" you to switch back to Edge.

Edge is chromium anyway with some added tracking
