99% of issues people have with Word are because they never bothered to learn how to use it. Remember those IT classes back in school where they taught you how to do a mail merge? Yeah I bet you can’t remember how to do that now.

Technically it can be, since PEMDAS is not an immutable law, it’s convention so we can communicate maths and come to the same answer.

I’m always careful with loud noises, and yet… I’ve had tinnitus ever since I can remember. There’s always been this high pitched whine whenever I’m in dead silence, and it’s always been the case. I used to think I could hear the electricity running through the walls or something.

Is there a third option where it’s like “Nobody’s really been planning anything for centuries and everything’s just continuing and everyone knows there ought to be something different but nobody can agree on what that thing ought to be”?

Technically libraries don’t give away books for free, they lend them out but they also pay for them. There’s a reason publishers are more than happy to sell books to libraries, but hate Internet Archive, and that’s because a library can only lend out however many copies of the book they have at a time, but Internet Archive lent out hundreds of generated copies.

You say that, but then there’s the coastal towns in the UK that used to get all their money from tourism, then tourism dried up and now they’re all shitholes because there’s nothing else going on there.

I wonder if you could get away with some kind of payment for locals in tourist heavy locations, like the Canary Islands are HEAVY tourist locations. Stick a tourist tax on hotels, holiday rentals etc. and a large property tax on villas owned by foreign companies and non-Spanish citizens, and then distribute that money to any local working and living on the islands as a flat “Dealing with the tourists” payment. Couple that with lower/no taxes for locals that are employed on the islands (not just those that own property and rent it out) and that might make things seem nicer for them.

Me too, I tried using Firefox on Mac but for some reason its power consumption is insanely high.

They get elected President.

How do you force people to give according to their ability? What if they don’t want to?

My guess is they’re going to do what Microsoft do (or used to do until about 6 months ago) when you want to sideload anything on their consoles: They charge you. You buy dev access for your account and use it to unlock your phone.

Technically that’s down to Imgur. Basically the UK government told Imgur to stop selling children’s data to advertisers and Imgur was like “No, we’re going to keep doing that and you’re blocked”.

But, OFCOM basically said “Okay sure you can block the UK and that will stop you selling any children’s data going forward, but you still sold children’s data in the past, so the fine still stands” and now it’s kinda in limbo because Imgur doesn’t have a UK office so there’s nowhere to extract the money from. However, even if Imgur did introduce age assurance (which is increasingly likely given that Imgur is based in California and California is flirting with age assurance requirements too) and therefore would be in compliance with the Online Safety Act, they would still be fined because they failed to protect children’s data in the past.

I don’t see a dog shaped target.

If he made a Christian AI, it would be shut down within a week for being too woke.

Where are you living where you can get a good console for $400?

I am immediately skeptical of the 90% claim. There are a lot of Windows games, going back decades! Not even 90% of those work on Windows, let alone Linux!

You don’t want to hear me read aloud, I deliberately add malapropisms because I find them funny, especially when I have to read the names of fantasy characters and places. I am not going to read your pronunciation guide in your half baked fantasy language! You’re not Tolkien! If it reads like Chicken, I’m saying Chicken.
