Or change the title to up to 50%

I mean those things can exist outside of DVD

usually just a tiny component of something else - say ordering something

Funnily enough, when I go to a restaurant and they have receipts with QR codes (I think it’s Clover), it just doesn’t work in Firefox.

As with most issues the truth is in the middle and any immigration policy should absolutely demand that any immigrant coming into a country assimilate and fully support our values of equality for all.

America is hardly a country of “equality for all” sadly

You realize these are real people, war is so sad and you are comparing it to Christmas :(

“user-applicable fix” is hardly correct, they are installing a fix provided by the company that has the recall. The company just so happens to provide an over the air download to patch the issue instead of having owners go to a dealer.

People are still in prison for it though.

They are called PLU numbers and I’m assuming they’re regulated because bananas are the same code everywhere I’ve been, as with grapes. Maybe certain produce between regions or chains is different but I think most are similar.

“Gen Z doesn’t like sex scene put into the movie by senile board members, so they must not like sex in movies anymore”

There is no reason to have these unless you’re doing a flashback and want to intuitively imply how much older this scene is versus the other ones.

There actually is a reason for both of those to be used in video game development

You really should do some research on practical applications of both of these features

But instead, video games just turn them on or off, CEOs being too cheap to pay artists to go over the scenes one by one and utilize these effects to their full artistic potential.

And apparently do some research into how these are implemented.

Noise/Grain is used to add texture after using some sharp aliasing, it can subtly help blend things. Similarly aberration can help soften edges that get really sharp when rendering.

Irregardless of what they can practically be used for, they are implemented as simple features that users have the ability to control. Both features are just screen space shaders that take very little dev time and processing power. They are added as an extra little feature that’s simple not because the CEO is too cheap. It sounds like you are unhappy with a game you’ve played and seemingly blamed it on them adding a noise filter, so now any use of it is lazy.

If you want to immigrate into a country, you must 100% be aligned with the values of your new country.

It’s just hard to say that when a lot of European Colonialism took place in these countries, some gaining independence within the last 100 years (referring to the middle east as alluded to in your last paragraph)

I don’t really know where to stand and I don’t think you can be in a position that is correct given the effects of colonialism from Europe. The fact that some effects of this colonialism (especially in Africa) have destroyed some countries/cultures, when the natural population didn’t “100%” align with the colonizers makes it hard to not sympathise with these people. A lot of these immigrants are leaving their home countries (not all), due to the rippling effects of colonialism.

I should say while I agree with your statement, I don’t know how to account for the effects of external influence that may be causing said immigration.

Chinese people also deserve to not be sent to internment camps.

Paper cups and plates I guess? I don’t like doing dishes and those two both eliminate the need to, but without a downside of being plastic.

:(

I just don’t think it being audible is for the attendant as you can’t hear them with so many sounds, and you have a screen already that shows everything. For old people seems to be the most obvious, but why would they remove the mute of that is the case. In all reality it’s likely some corporate decision, that in their testings made them more money with no mute button vs with mute button. When I worked at a huge national grocery store chain (ahold) it seemed like every decision was made by people who’ve never worked in a grocery store. So wouldn’t surprise me if the reason was some nonsense.

they want the machine to announce what it is so the self checkout monitor can hear if you rang your asparagus in as (much cheaper by weight) bananas.

I don’t think that’s the case. It’s impossible to hear those things when busy. Maybe that was corporate thinking. My best guess is for old people thh

I’m thankful my grocery stores have a mute button for self checkout. It makes for a much less stressful experience, I don’t know why they have it narrate so much junk.

As for your issues with the inability to remove things, I do know the trick. (I can’t speak for non-us self check out kiosks) As someone who worked as an attendant for the kiosks, the main cause of setting off the thing is picking your bag up before the scale has settled. The scale isn’t just checking that the weight has increased by a certain amount, it’s also waiting to make sure the weight is balanced. The issue with that, is the intuitive thing to do when your bag is full is immediately put it in your cart to make space. So the best thing to do is put your item in, wait a few seconds then you’re set to move the bag. With the small things not registering, could be uncalibrated scales. I have never ran into the multiply issue, as the ones I’ve all been to have scan guns and you can just shoot the barcode a bunch.

At what line does it become stolen property? There are plenty of tools which artists use today that use AI. Those AI tools they are using are more than likely trained on some creation without payment. It seems the data it’s using isn’t deemed important enough for that to be an issue. Google has likely scraped billions of images from the Internet for training on Google Lens and there was not as much of an uproar.

Honestly, I’m just curious if there is an ethical line and where people think it should be.

So let’s give the companies that have lied about the harms and effects of their product a heads up? They never gave people who died of cancer when they knew it caused cancer but denied it. Moving the age will just give the time for the business owners to get more of the money out and fuck over the smaller employees anyways.

I honestly think there is no solution that doesn’t have negative effects. I’m personally very against the banning of something (especially a plant) as a solution to a problem as it creates plenty more problems (see America’s drug problems)

A lot of things in stores have to add disclaimers about what is on the cover of the box vs what’s on the inside. I don’t see how fast food gets a pass on that. Or why people are just okay with it too.

A very important aspect that I think people overlook is that they use similar/same marketing photos of the food on their menu. That’s not advertising, maybe that’s what they will argue. If I look at a menu and they have a picture of the food, I’m going to expect I get what I see (within a margin) vs when I see an advertisement I expect it to be a bit hyperbolic.
