Considering Microsoft wasn't allowed to use SkyDrive as a name for cloud storage because Sky is registered for unrelated purposes, I would assume using the same trademark in a directly competing product would not be allowed.

This is because this is the "Sexist Doctor Riddle"[1] but with one word changed.

And the probability machine is returning its training. This isn't some political correct overtraining conspiracy.

I've even received designs in PowerPoint

Everyone used whatever they were familiar with regardless of the purpose of the application.

I went through the multi-step process for the bananas last year. It failed to validate me during the purchase window. Their support never responded to me (it's been 9 months now).

It was a stupid flow that sent me from email to computer to phone and had one-time links that didn't transfer between devices.

I have no interest in going through this much effort to go to an event.

Claude will answer all of those questions. The restriction Anthropic has is letting Claude pull the trigger and vibe-murder with no humans in the loop.

This restriction is apparently "radically woke"

The teams have always been 32 tax paying companies. The NFL central office was a 501(c)(6), but the tax savings from that was negligible.

In fact, when they changed their status over a decade ago, they now no longer have to submit a 990 and have less transparency of their operations.

You are phrasing this situation to paint all non-profits as a farce, and I believe that's a bad faith take.

This doesn't feel much different than words. There was a whole ordeal at Microsoft when an intern said an event was going to be "lit" and a bunch of older generation folk assumed that meant drugs.

Language changes all the time, emoji are just part of that.

Why not everyone invite a different Anna?

I think the moral is for everyone to be individually a bit nicer, not one friend group to support an entire community.
