They sold laptops with this feature at one time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5M0TwnkWUM&list=PLec1d3OBbZ8IBeFODHXLy0m0okuZhqJnT

I was on the younger side so it was mostly flash game and animation sites. Homestar runner, albinoblacksheep, miniclip, addicting games, runescape.

And if you overthrew the ruling class, you’d still want to know how the new system was affecting various demographics. All systems have biases and the only way to account for them is to know about them.

These types of figures are still important to know. You want to see if certain populations are being affected disproportionately and have a baseline to work from when seeing how policy changes are working.

If you make a policy change and see recovery overall but you’re still getting 52% of Latinos reporting insecurity, you’ve done something wrong and you have data to back it up.

Star fortresses only became common after the invention of cannon artillery. That’s exceedingly modern for this type of nonsense.

I trade finding bugs for treats. Cat tracks and alerts, I catch or kill, and cat gets a snack. Everyone wins and no one gets bitten, stung, or weird parasites.

I’m a little confused at the concept, it’s a “web” but totally dependent on a single, hard coded DNS that the devs have to content moderate? Why not just have an alternate, lua script only, browser and custom file type?

What’s funny is right at launch I would have seriously considered upgrading, but I’m on second gen Ryzen and that platform was deemed not new enough at the time. Now they’ve added a bunch of BS and even though I think they’ve removed the restriction I’m over the new shiny thing and am looking heavily into a full linux setup.

Import tariffs and service bans are definitely pretty wonky with dubious benefits, but I can understand the export concerns. Exporting tech that can be used in weapons directly to a country that is threatening a highly strategic ally (Taiwan) is a bad move. Yes they’ll get them elsewhere or make them, but you won’t have the US government and a US company directly profiting off the destruction of an ally.

Yes this is a meme community, not a textbook

Pronouns are extremely relevant in formal communication. People do their best to infer them from names but that’s not always easy or even possible.

Not even a single sentence for the Halloween 2010 update adding the nether.

It took a lot longer from announcement to launch than anticipated. In that time Musk bought twitter and went full out in the open right-wing nut and several other automakers announced and released electric trucks.

The vehicle itself suffers from the panel alignment quality control issues that every Tesla suffers from but exaggerated because the body panels really need tight tolerances to look right. The grade of stainless steel they used isn’t great for weather resistance and without a clearcoat it immediately starts to lose the factory finish.

They are wholly devoted to “conserving” systems that are designed to benefit cis, white, straight, wealthy, men at the expense of everyone else. I’m not sure how that could be “good” no matter how they went about it.

In my town the school board weirdo lost by 2 votes. It’s so important to vote in local elections.

For anyone else curious about this particular brand of insanity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moorish_sovereign_citizens

An offshoot of the Moorish Science Temple of America, which is also the origin of the Nation of Islam.

This is legal vs rude. It certainly is legal and was in the terms of service for them to use the data in any way they see fit. But, also it’s rude to bait and switch from being a message board to being an AI data source company. Users we led to believe they were entering into an agreement with one type of company and are now in an agreement with a totally different one.

You can smugly tell people they shouldn’t have made that decision 15 years ago when they started, but a little empathy is also cool.

Additionally: When you owe your entire existence and value to user goodwill it might not be a great idea to be rude to them.

I believe the effect is entirely topical, it just doesn’t hurt to ingest a little too. The fluoride ions trigger re-hardening of the tooth enamel and can take the place of missing calcium in the outer enamel structure, but those only happen when they hit the outer enamel in your mouth, you don’t regrow enamel on fully formed teeth

One of the things that makes the warp drive idea so compelling is it does not have this issue. I’m not a physicist but I do like star trek. The idea is that inside the “bubble” is a normal inertial frame with no significant time dilation effects compared to where you left from. This is why in fiction you can travel faster than the speed of light within one without the need for “infinite” energy. Your mass never moves in space, you take your little bubble of space with you.

I can only really speak to reddit, but I think this applies to all of the user generated content websites. The original premise, that everyone agreed to, was the site provides a space and some tools and users provide content to fill it. As information gets added, it becomes a valuable resource for everyone. Ads and other revenue streams become a necessary evil in all this, but overall directly support the core use case.

Now that content is being packaged into large language models to be either put behind a paywall or packed into other non-freely available services. Since they no longer seem interested in supporting the model we all agreed on, I see no reason to continue adding value and since they provided tools to remove content I may as well use them.
