Yeah, I’ve thought the same. It’s like with ads on websites - ads are served from different domains and as blockers work by denying requests to those domains. If they really wanted they could serve the ads from the same domain as the rest of the website. I guess one day they might but so far it must not be worth it.

Assuming you’re asking about the password manager?

Most important for me is that with Bitwarden I can share passwords with someone else.

Interesting, I’ve always had the opposite problem - whatever I say they cut way too much off the top. Perhaps we should go together and order each other’s cuts?

I’m not sure I have anything helpful to say other than to suggest keep trying different places until you find one that listens?

This. Especially driving out of carparks.

I’ll give you a short answer as you’ve got a lot of detailed ones already: to a native British English speaker “six oh five a m” sounds completely normal. There are other ways to say it that sound equally normal.

Not a direct answer to the question but one thing not noted in other answers is in computing you often work at a higher precision than you need for your final answer as the errors tend to increase each time you do a mathematical operation.

In the world of reasonably powerful hardware (laptops, desktops, servers, smart phones etc.) we’d typically work with 64 bit floating point numbers which gives pi to 15 digits (I think, not at a real computer now so can’t check). because it’s simple to do so even though we don’t need the full precision.

I’ve heard it suggested that they didn’t expect to get as far as they did into Israel and they barely expected to get past the border wall. If that’s the case they may not have planned what to do when they did and so there may be no grand strategy behind some or all of it.

I guess we’ll never know.

I’m not a big important decision maker but if I always came across your website when searching for answers about software X and your GitHub when looking for code for software X I would go to my manager and say “why don’t we just pay this person to sort it out, they seem to know their stuff” and there’s a fair chance we’d do it.

Took me longer than I’d care to admit to figure out Red Bull vodka is another name for vodka Red Bull.

Could you expand on that please? (I sound a bit snarky but don’t mean to!)

This sounds like a great idea. What feed reader do you use? Are there ones specially for this or better suited to it or will any do?

I don’t like going outside but I do like dogs. One of the advantages of having a dog is that it means I do sometimes have to venture outside.

I think (at least part of) the problem is that whenever the media explain anything fediverse they start by saying “this is really complicated” and then give a ridiculous analogy. The average person switches off as soon as they’re told its complicated and the supposed explanation provides nothing helpful.

I agree with you, if they figured out email they can figure this.
