Demel!

My screen is 2160px tall and 3840 pixels wide. If it’s at the bottom, I waste nearly 1.8 times the number of pixels.

Microsoft’s excuse about app design and layout is straight bullshit because I can make application windows any size and ratio I want.

Spot on with the AI C-Suite description.

Or there’s a written recertification at certain years of age. Written, because reaction time and vision is irrelevant.

Oh yeah for sure. This guy would get so excited about things and ended up with some expensive stuff …

Facebook app set up a local server on the iOS device that received pings when a browser loaded their tracking pixels.

I feel like that behaviour falls under my definition of spyware. I know it’s not as malicious as it could be, but still.

Setting aside the fact that wolves are obligate carnivores, what is the big deal? I don’t watch TV anymore but isn’t it normal for big companies to do Christmas special commercials?

I understand the economics are challenging but it’s been a race to the bottom. There were and still are some really high quality apps, but so many trash!

One of the reasons that the App Store purportedly exists is to provide quality software rather than malware and spam.

I guess that goes out of the window as soon as money appears.

You can literally type the name of an app and the first three results are, if you’re lucky, competitors. More often than not they’re pure junk.

And that assumes you’re searching for an app that’s not trash… ugh.

Educate your friends and relatives and write your representatives at every level. It’s only a small difference but it’s something.

I would like to listen in an armchair to cd or vinyl through a modest, though still good, stereo speaker system. But my life doesn’t include space or time for any of that.

So - almost 100% streaming, through earbuds, the car speakers, and/or HomePod. There was a time I was on Oink and then What - what put Apple Music to shame. The staff picks were eclectic and amazing and I learned a lot about new to me music styles.

I don’t like listening to music in the background in general, but dance/electronic music is good for background distraction for workouts and focus. But my preference is for classical music - Bach, Beethoven, etc. - depends on my mood. Sometimes I’m in the mood for Queen or Pink Floyd. I’m never in the mood for pop.

Check your privilege, says the person with a back yard!

Also - don’t they sell saws in your country? You can make a corpse into backpack sized pieces. with a bit of effort.

I’m on a list now, I bet.

I know an undiagnosed bipolar guy. The highs are so high, and he’s such a wonderful person. The lows are so low, and come on so fast, and last too long, and he’s a miserable person to be around. And just as you think maybe the growing distance should be made larger and permanent, he’s on a high again and it’s really easy to forget the low period.

I can see how meds are tough to get right.

Conceptually neat, but the reality is that wireless charging for even small devices like phones is a pretty significant waste of energy, at scale. The amounts of energy involved with wirelessly charging a heavy truck - or even car - would be unconscionably large.

It’s a bit like uber with their not-a-bus bus service. Humans already invented a solution that works really well. It’s called a pantograph. Sweden is testing a ground-level power supply that provides 800kW per vehicle at 130kph.

Home Depot is based in Georgia and the founder was fully supportive of republicans. Don’t be surprised when the store espouses his values.

“No threat to security,” says interior minister of state that has been repeated threatened with annexation by the megalomaniac head of a neighbouring belligerent state.

I know a bunch of people who readily admit they’re bad drivers. But there literally are no classes in their country to improve their practical skills.

The fact that so many people in car centric countries don’t even have a back up when things go wrong is abysmal.

“We’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas” is the theme with car-centric countries. Or they tried, built 1/10 of a solution and then absolutely neutered it by making it somehow secondary to cars. Where they do have practical public transit it’s absolutely slammed full of people but they wont even maintain let alone invest in it.

Yes that’s my point.

Ah, true.

Well, yes, but loss leaders are more commonly some kind of trash not open ended healthy food!
