  • Congratulations, you pass the first test.

  • GTA 1, 2 & London were simultaneous releases, no? waggles glasses annoyingly

  • Do Google actually ever end up paying these fines? If so, over what period and how much have they paid so far?

  • What are the advantages over Open Office?

  • Yup. I've had to add exceptions to my VPN for this reason. Mainly food/grocery delivery sites for some reason

  • They storm the capital building.

    There's plenty of resistance and progressive movements locally and nationally - you just tend not to hear about them unless you're the sort of person who gets involved

  • With jobs, they get better data. I give fake names, DOB, addresses etc to everything I have to sign up for... except for government stuff, and job applications

  • Its interesting. We can both look at a landscape and agree there's two mountains in the distance and a forest in front, and can agree on a thousand further details like if the mountains are barren or snow-topped. But only when it comes to colour can we doubt whether what the other person sees is what we see. To be fair, the artist Monet did that experiment on himself. Painted a scene with one eye open and the next day with the other. Details are pretty much the same, but the spectrum is pretty different

  • At least it is in terms of a spectrum. Everybody finds orange text on a red background uncomfortable to read. So there are plenty of shared perception categories at least

  • Yeab I've never set a contact photo in my life, with one exception: my sister hated a photo I'd put on Facebook so much she demanded I take it down (not just untag her). That pic is now my contact photo for her. It is awful.

  • By modern standards, VHS has plenty of advantages too. A corrupt portion of a computer file often means it won't play at all, while a tape will just play apart from that section. Audio and Video are always in sync with a tape - digital files are often out by up to a couple of seconds. A tape is often more robust than a hard disk or a DVD too.

    The only downsides of VHS that immediately spring to mind are quality (not that that mattered at the time - it was and is still good enough) physical space (not that I ever ran out of room) and speed of skipping to particular times, and speed of backup. Oh... and lack of togglable subtitles too (not that digital always has those either)

  • Yeah she's holding the phone with 3 weirdly-spaces fingers

  • I'd guess that 100% of its worth is down to Logan Paul having owned it.

  • With Trump is I can never tell if he's just bullshitting, or if he's genuinely delusional enough to believe the things he says he'll do will work out the way he says they will, just by his own magical determination

  • People will create plenty of content for free. Basically every blog, early YT video and all of Wikipedia was made by people who just like creating stuff for free

  • The third one is as close to "yes" as his weasely words will allow. I read it as a yes, anyway

  • The answers are more like "yes", "check the source and intent", "yes"

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    What artistic works have changed your political worldview?
