Exceptions are possible. Money isn’t everything for everyone.

It’s based on Hamlet. So Shakespeare, not the bible.

Is the internet scarier?

Or is it just millennials and “internet natives” having kids and more of them knowing better what the internet actually is.

I tell people to imagine a public place with everyone in it, the majority wearing masks or costumes. With constantly recording surveillance. Do you take off your mask.

Sure the mask is not perfect protection, and there are areas off to the side where people seem to not be wearing masks. But go ahead and choose a way to keep your kids safe.

Honestly, Zoom just has a hilariously high frequency of vulnerabilities being discovered.

I’m sorry, I started joking because you weren’t being serious either.

Wait, you were being serious?

Well I’ve got a solution for you!

Just insert this adapter into the 3.5mm jack and it will be blocked for you. It’ll no longer be wasted space because this adapter is a useful place to store several grains of rice for a snack.

Unfortunately you do lose a feature as a result of using this adapter, it will stop one of the speakers from working and degrade your audio quality.

But you shouldn’t complain about anything removing a feature, or degrading your audio quality. You’ve got a new feature of being able to store rice!

You can even buy special fairphone sustainable rice from us. With only a small 300% mark up but an incredible 80% of the sustainability of already available rice. It comes in green!

The “demographic” of human being who doesn’t want to wreck the planet if Fairphone’s target.

If Fairphone is not trying to be universal anymore you should see that as a problem. So should every fairphone customer.

I’ll buy a more sustainable phone than the fairphone when my phone loses support in 2027. I’ll encourage everyone to buy a more sustainable product today.

I’d much prefer a 3.5mm jack

There are sandwich artists and sanitation engineers. Everyone knows they get paid like crap.

Unfortunately “prompt engineers” seem to be getting paid small fortunes when their job is essentially using a massive amount of computing power to commit various levels of intellectual property theft they hope no one will notice.

Thanks.

Important to put the blame where it actually lies.

There are 20 fl oz. to a pint

Instead of cups you should use half pints.

There are 8 pints to the gallon.

Unless you specify which pint, gallon then you’re probably wrong anywhere outside the US. Even then you could have to deal with vintage Canadian equipment with imperial labeling.

US Cups are random in measurement and only sometimes half a pint.

The imperial fluid oz. has one value 28.413 ml

The US fl. oz used to be 29.573 ml. But now can officially be 30 ml in some settings.

Metric is the best system, followed by imperial which at least is still a consistent standard.

Then US customary measures where the written value may or may not have to meet a standard these days.

The US has been using metric for everything important for a long time now like the rest of the world. Except the Mars probe NASA crashed.

The problem is artists often make their actual living doing basic boiler plate stuff that gets forgotten quickly.

In graphics it’s Company logos, advertising, basic graphics for businesses.

In writing it’s copy for websites, it’s short articles, it’s basic stuff.

Very few artists want to do these things, they want to create the original work that might not make money at all. That work potentially being a winning lottery ticket but most often being an act of expressing themselves that doesn’t turn into a payday.

Unfortunately AI is taking work away from artists. It can’t seem to make very good art yet but it can prevent artists who could make good art getting to the point of making it.

It’s starving out the top end of the creative market by limiting the easy work artists could previously rely on to pay the bills whilst working on the big ideas.

I’m sticking with relevance. A >25% rise is what we’re talking about.

A 0.001 difference on a 0.004 total would be worth showing.

No it doesn’t.

It’s meant to illustrate a change and it does so perfectly fine. It’s not a scientific paper.

It’s a 32-34% increase looking at the graph. That’s significant enough to shout about.

Imagine any change you could make surprising competition by 25% in any market. That’s huge.

During setup there is a keyboard shortcut to get to command prompt.

Then a command you can use.

Then the machine restarts and you can setup without a Microsoft account.

(For reference I’m on my dual booting Linux phase. I’d like to ditch it altogether but Wayland isn’t quite there yet and x never will be.)

Human papillomavirus HPV is responsible for warts on feet.

So genital warts, mostly HSV (Herpes). Not nice but not particularly harmful most of the time. Cold sores and genital warts. Mouth, genitals. Won’t look nice but you won’t die.

HPV - cancer.

Further investigation on the evidence may be required but social acceptability chart above may be justified.

If you have a foot fetish get vaccinated against HPV everyone.

Also not googling this. Please take this comment with the respect and authority it deserves. (None)

iPods had an 82% share of the US market at the time the term was first used.

https://www.theregister.com/2004/10/12/ipod_us_share/

At the time a “broadcast” to you iPod made the name podcast pretty understandable.

And there’s not much else I could think of to call it given technology at the time.

MP3 player was the generic term. But MP3 cast feels clunky.

I did hear audioblog used. But they weren’t all blogs.

It really comes down to the fact that at the time everyone knew “pod” meant “iPod” and that’s it.

No headphone jack means fairphone now encourage Bluetooth earbuds and electronic waste.

They’re dead to me.

“The Joker” is a generic description of a character. Going back to medieval courts.

If the result is a copyrighted version of that character that’s not the promoters fault.

That’s the fault of the ones who compile the training data.
