  • His mom gives him a call every time it comes on

  • We won't, we have AC /s

  • People say it's against all private property but it only explicitly criticizes private ownership of land. That does not imply Communism, see Georgism.

    ...is what I would say if I didn't always twist the lyrics to praise the compact disc 💿

    💿 My pit and your land,💿 your pit and my land,💿 from err'r correction💿 to the sampling theorem💿 From the Red Book's premise💿 to the bitstream coders💿 CD was made by Sony and Philips.

    💿 My laser's gliding💿 on the spiral pathway,💿 my cradle keeps it💿 pointed the right way.💿 Plastic is never💿 made ideally💿 but wobbles are no problem for CD.

    💿 There may be dust bits💿 that try to fool me,💿 disks can be tainted,💿 varying light intensity💿 But the extra data💿 carry everything💿 I need to get the music error-free

    💿 Audiophiles💿 are total dickheads,💿 claiming they can hear💿 the "discrete DAC steps"💿 But Shannon proved that💿 a low-pass filter💿 Makes samples match the input perfectly

  • So... he climbed the wall, checked the other side, and decided that the inside area was "for you and me" because the inside of the wall didn't say otherwise?

  • Don't ever communicate your safeword unencrypted! At least import openSSL ffs.

  • Only on vintage VWs

  • I know. By x % and by x percentage points is the most commonly confused pair, not by x % and to x %.

  • Or "by 80 percentage points"

  • It's not an easy sexuality to figure out, and I imagine the almost complete lack of ace visibility prior to cca 2020 did not help

  • EA actually got rich making decent games before their (very early!) foray into enshittification. Can you imagine they went 10 years without yearly EA Sports crap?

    Similarly, Ubisoft (then Ubi Soft) used to put out pretty good ones.

    Looks like money spoils people.

  • Not non-transferrable, as that would prevent Elon from claiming @america or the transfer of @POTUS.

  • It's the girl's fault for only being attracted to screaming ovals

  • They haven't launched a successful product in a decade. Pretty sure they'll get more desperate and have even more misses. Probably AI.

    Oh yes, the port that HTML passes through

  • Do the bottom two have the same charging port? Impossible!

    Also, my first time seeing the newer FireWire and whatever the video output is...

  • 1926: Snakes on a Train

    2006: Snakes on a Plane

    2086:

  • The other suit might still have a few deadly snakes without being full of them, and we don't know how many harmless snakes (or anything else) are there.

  • If you have a recent phone, websites and PWAs are about as fast as native apps. I'm using a 2014 flagship Sony Xperia Z that came out with Android 4.4 and can barely run Android 13 — it will overheat and sytem UI (thankfully not apps) will restart if rendering stuff for too long. (The difference is staggering: basic old apps like Phyphox and static websites run indefinitely. Modern apps or JS-enabled pages like Voyager or 480p30 video for 10 minutes. Post-modern bloated crap or 720p30 video, 4 minutes. Imgur, new Reddit and 1080p video turn the phone into a hand warmer immediately and the framerate goes from 15 to <1 in 10 seconds, followed by a slew of ANRs and the battery percentage going down every 20th frame rendered. Should I have applied more heatsink compound after replacing the battery? Yes but I'd argue no app with a simple purpose and basic GUI should require 5 W to the CPU while running at half rate.)

  • This does not affect people without Google Play Services so why complain? We need fewer reasons for people to buy Apple products so that devs are more inclined to build good native Android apps.

    This is why I see it as a mild positive for us. For normal users, it's another step away from privacy and security towards convenience that they will accept. Yes, some will see this on-by-default feature and think "no privacy is possible anymore" but that's best solved by GrapheneOS etc. becoming more visible.
