encrypted_bird··on AI isn't replacing SREs, it's deskilling them
Do they have a free tier?
encrypted_bird··on Archive Of Our Own down for maintenance for 2 to 4 weeks
I too prefer reading on AO3 over FFN because AO3 allows me to export stories as epub so I can then read them on my eink reader. :-)
encrypted_bird··on How do you take a picture of a black hole?
Ah, okay, thanks for explaining! Yeah, I don't know LaTeX. Haha.

Genuine question: why did you out $ signs next to the formula? I normally only see those put next to variable names.
encrypted_bird··on Proton goes all in on using AI
Hey thanks I'll check it out!

--- EDIT: Ohhhhhh apparently it's paid-only. Yeah, I would pay for a decent email service, but I'm poor, so I can't afford that... Thanks, anyway!

You know any decent alternative? I have a Tuta address, but sometimes emails don't arrive.
encrypted_bird··on How Google determines the names for bodies of water in Google Earth (2008)
I would say their point still stands.

Whether the bill was passed is ultimately irrelevant.

encrypted_bird··on No more icons in every menu by default
Another thing I can't stand is that I swear tooltips have decreased in frequency compared to 10 years ago.

What is an MBP?

How are the blaster bolts different? I'm genuinely surprised I never noticed...

Do you have a source? I'd love to read more. :)

Damn, sheep were cheap back then.

Jesus Christ on a pogo stick, execution for stealing 12 pence worth of stuff? That's crazy! Adjusting for inflation[1][2], that would be the same as nowadays being executed for stealing £5!

[1] According to https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/education/education-resource..., 12 pence (1 shilling, or 1/20 of a pound)) in the old £sd system is equal to 5 pence (or £0.05) in the later decimal system.

[2] According to https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/monetary-policy/inflation/in..., £0.05 (decimal) in 1832 would be equivalent to £5.02 in 2026 Aug.

encrypted_bird··on I don't like passkeys
What is the confusion here? Like it or not (and I definitely don't like it), most people use Chrome.

I love your username. /)
encrypted_bird··on The American Religion of Self-Storage Facilities
Ah. Fair enough. Haha.

And rarely. There is unfortunately a dirth of trees in my area since I live in a small farming town.

encrypted_bird··on The American Religion of Self-Storage Facilities
Yeah, those are good points I hadn't really thought of much. Thanks! I guess it's less of a priority for me because I bought my car for $1000 and it came with Michigan rust already. Lol.
encrypted_bird··on The American Religion of Self-Storage Facilities
That's surprising. I once tried an automated car wash just to see what all the hullabaloo was about and I think the rain actually does a better job. Worst $5 I've ever spent...
encrypted_bird··on The American Religion of Self-Storage Facilities
Where do you live? I live in the Midwest (SE MI) and when there's rain it tends to be medium-to-heavy rain and with wind so sideways.
encrypted_bird··on The American Religion of Self-Storage Facilities
I personally don't get car washes. I just wait for it to rain. Then free car wash...
encrypted_bird··on How to buy a good car for $1000
Damn that's a big difference!

Interesting! Thanks for explaining!

As someone who doesn't know most of the tells but genuinely wants to know, what are some of the things that tells you it's AI-generated?
encrypted_bird··on IKEA made a mod for Skyrim [video]
Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for a mod that gives mustaches to mudcrabs.

The mudcrabs are a proud and fancy race!

encrypted_bird··on LG denies TV spying claims, says tracking and snooping concerns 'not true'
>LG denies TV spying claims

Yeah, they fucking *would*.

encrypted_bird··on How to buy a good car for $1000
Jesus, only $500 a *year*?? May I ask where you live in? I live in MI and I pay about $990 a year for minimum liability insurance.
encrypted_bird··on Houthis 'take control' of key island in global shipping route
Canon, not cannon. Then again, since this is about war, maybe it should be cannon. Lol.
