I do that with pihole.

Let me sign up with something besides a Google account.

“Dancing is like architecture.” is not dancing about architecture.

They weren’t.

Kids and wives were beaten into line.

    RIAA has entered the chat. 

"It defrauds us of our hard-earned middle-man cut."

Take away enough dark patterns and you eventually kill Capitalism. :)

I’m genuinely curious: Why not? What difference does it make to you what’s next door?

The US government generally doesn’t hold a stake in US tech companies, nor direct influence over how they operate abroad.

I can’t even tell if I should apply Poe’s Law here.

For, for, for, and against, respectively.

Aaaaand now I have a new pet peeve to put next to Flag Code, driving norms, and the Oxford comma.

> singing by intervals is easier than singing by named notes?

Infinitely easier, unless one has perfect pitch. :)

Fine.

Give up.

Don’t chase a dream.

Just go find some drudgery for a paycheck. Don’t bother saving. You won’t need it.

You never had a shot anyway. Your ideas are stupid. Any time you think of a thing, someone else has thought of it first.

There’s no point in trying to make anything better. It’s all as good as it can possibly be.

Such a perfect world doesn’t need your contribution; can’t be changed by the likes of you; won’t care, even if you do manage to come up with something novel.

You’re too young to be taken seriously, and too late for everything, so why bother?

So get out there and fulfill your failure, and don’t worry about dreaming.

All the dreamers woke up ages ago.

Eh, I’d always know who I am as a person… and who I was holds little value, frankly, because the past is the past. And it’s not like I’ve ever had a ton of control over my personality. I didn’t decide to be a pedantic nerd. I didn’t decide to have ADHD. I didn’t decide much about myself at all, really. I’ve simply gone along and gotten along. Also, “We’ve always done it this way” isn’t always useful.

It honestly sounds like a great recipe to being even more open-minded, avoiding zealotry and overly-conservative stick-in-the-mud-ness. What’s not to love?

> It might mean your personality could gradually change

Hmm… that might actually be nice. :)

…unless the LLM hallucinates the comments and docs.

Depends on your localization norms.

Admittedly, though, I don’t recall ever seeing a scheme that uses commas throughout. Usually if the decimal is a comma, the thousands separator is a period, in my experience.

Pitch it as an Accessibility improvement.

As someone who is -12.5 diopters in my good eye, I’m excited by the prospect of improvement.

I’m a 46-year old former LARPer, D&D nerd, etc, and I don’t know what a pappenheimer rapier looks like… it might be a bit niche. :)

“It is difficult to get a man[ager] to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.”

(With apologies to Upton Sinclair.)

Could be that they’re all generated from the same seed. And we humans are really good at spotting patterns like that.

PG&E is Pacific Gas and Electric. It provides utility services to tens of millions of people. They’re one of, if not the biggest single utility companies in the country.

It’s not like MomNPop, LLC.

Yeah, it’s a whole different kind of noise. Rather than a monotonic chorus of clicks, it’s a polyphonic cacophony of clicks, clacks, plonks thunks, rattles and the occasional twang, like only a buckling spring switch can offer.

I love mine. But I also heavily rely on noise-cancellation when I’m screen sharing or video calling.

I daily drive one of these. There’s nothing quite like the crunch of an actual buckling spring.

I wish there were a bit more of a customization market, but I’m pretty happy with mine, despite it being beige on beige.

To clarify here, the VATSIM controllers are real humans. The traffic is simulated, but also “real”, in that it’s human sim pilots flying “on network.” And the network is sim-agnostic. I’m still working on being good enough with my plane in MSFS to be able to fly online.

Woodie Guthrie’s guitar was a machine that kills fascists.

GPS-enforced speed could be done fully internal to the vehicle. THe jurisdiction data would have to be accurately stored internally, but that’s not incredibly difficult; e.g. Apple Maps has speed limit info for something north of 90% of US roads.

> red light cameras

I’m all for everything else on your list, and I’m all in favor of protecting the children, but I draw the line at increasing the surveillance state. Big Brother gets to watch enough of what we do, already. Let’s not give him even more eyes.

I’m a U.S. resident who’s eyeballs deep in the ecosystem… (well, I will be, come Friday…) and I feel much more valued by Apple than cattle.

If there’s a future where there’s an app that requires me to install their store on my device to have the privilege of buying their app, I’m simply not buying that app.

I’m pretty sure I’m not alone in that.

…in order to appease shareholders and/or hit earnings numbers, right?
