Preview works fine for me, when I open up the original it flips upside down.

I agree wholeheartedly :)

Have you read the article? They’re claiming (!) that they would use ads on websites to use mic data. If you know anything about Android or IOS, you’ll know that you have to give mic permission to your browser for it to have access to anything. THEN the browser itself checks if a website needs access to your mic and you have to willingly give it. And lastly: Android indicates when your mic is hot with a green dot. So all of their claims are bs.

Come back if one of the OS developers admit to always listen on an OS level.

Fun fact: When watching the german versions of the prequels, the acting isn’t a problem anymore, as professional voice actors bring their own take to the characters and make some of it much more tolerable. Hayden was screwed by bad directing. And script of course.

No, it’s not the best we have. Solar and wind are way safer, cost less and don’t produce waste.

Sure, nuclear power is safe until it isn’t. Fukushima and Chernobyl are examples of that. Nuclear plants in Ukraine were at risk during Russian attacks. Even if you have a modern plant, you don’t really think that under capitalism there is an incentive to care properly for them in the long run. Corners will be cut.

Besides that they produce so much waste that has to be: a) being transported b) stored somewhere

Looking at the US railroad system and how it is pushed beyond it’s capacity right now and seeing how nuclear waste sites are literally rotting and contaminating everything around them I’d say it’s one of the least safe energies. Especially if you have clean alternatives that don’t produce waste.

I usually enable 2FA where possible. I just counted my accounts that use them: 14. My password manager stores around 100 accounts. So, yeah.

Still hoping for a Star Trek movie.

This makes sense. Thank you!

Something I thought about recently as well. I might be wrong, but is pressure not just a differential from inside to the outside? If it gets warm, air expands inside the tire, but so does the air outside, pushing back. It kinda sounds right, but I don’t know.

Polyphonic Ringtones? Ha! We had to type in some strange numbers to get beeps to change their tune!

I’ve got a bad feeling about this.

That’s what they want us to believe.

Yeah, they work. To a certain point. Over the last decade or so I got dozens of dates. If you are engaging in conversation, asking interesting questions and are generally nice to talk to (and your profile and picture show this upfront) you can get dates.

But it gets increasingly harder to get matches as a platform gains popularity. Apps usually put newcomers to the top of the stack to make them visible and get them matches. The older your profile, the more profiles are newer then yours and you slowly fall down the stack. When the app grows in size, you are quicker to go down the stack.

In addition to that it seems every app has a certain demographic progression: At first more women use a new app. They don’t get that much matches and are more likely to match. As time goes on this changes, as men are joining and making up 70% of the user base. Now woman are flooded with people wanting to match and you are unlikely to stick out or, what happens more often: people are overwhelmed and just stop interacting.

My extensive use of apps showed me that you can be most successful in fairly new apps. Bumble used to be really awesome until it got popular.

“only when it provides a better customer service” Hahaha. That’s so vague that it is completely meaningless.

The guy from the math problems!

The avocado had real text. Is Dall-E 3 capable of creating legible text?

Never heard of it.

Gee, spot the billionaire 🙄 /s

Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about?

My theory for the apparent need of “click the bell for notifications” is not that videos don’t show up in the subscription feed but that most people just use the home page to get informed which does not show all content. My subscription feed worked without a hitch and not a single missed video since it’s inception. I strongly believe most people just don’t know about the subscription feed.
