The thing is, when people actually publish these works, the only person that hates them is the author.

Jolteon ,

No, they're clearly riding the dragons.

Jolteon ,

Yeah, I definitely put Linux mint at the top of every list where Ubuntu is at the top right now.

Jolteon ,

More specifically, millennials in the US that decided to go to a big name school instead of a local community college.

Jolteon ,

Southern BC is very close to the American Pacific Northwest, which is full of hydroelectric dams.

Lemmy is probably the worst social network in terms of discrimination against Windows users.

Jolteon ,

I would be very surprised if 30% of the people in one of the most famously sexist social networks were women.

Jolteon ,

It will probably last longer than a new car too.

I would love to see the density map of a cubic world with uniform gravity.

Jolteon ,

Farming is a very full-time job, although I suppose you could get part-time work as a farmhand.

I'm guessing it's a combination of general optimizations, Google Play services & store not having the same level of background and network capabilities, and more control over background apps in general.

Turns out they don't like people disabling their adware.

Roku has patented a way to show ads over anything you plug into your TV (arstechnica.com)

A patent application from the company spotted by Lowpass describes a system for displaying ads over any device connected over HDMI, a list that could include cable boxes, game consoles, DVD or Blu-ray players, PCs, or even other video streaming devices. Roku filed for the patent in August 2023 and it was published in November...

I'm pretty sure there is points in some movies that have static content briefly as well.

Jolteon ,

It turns out that paying people to observe every second of a shopping trip is a lot more expensive than paying people just to check customers out.

Jolteon ,

Around where I live, there's plenty of shelters, with plenty of open spots where the only requirement is that if you're on drugs you need to go to rehab.

Jolteon ,

There's a song by Ray Stevens about that.

Jolteon ,

I can see the enhanced navigation being a subscription service, since it sounds like something that requires an external service to function. Adaptive cruise on the other hand...

Jolteon ,

23andMe is much, much worse than the others due to the nature of the data it sells.

Jolteon ,

I consider your personal genetic data to be a much more dangerous thing to sell, at least in the long term, compared to browser history.

Thankfully, none of the dogs I've ever had were the eat-to-death type of dogs, so I just had to refill the bowl when it got empty.

Jolteon ,

Kind of surprising, since Tesla supposedly started before any of the others.

Jolteon ,

The problem is that there's a very valid reason to have those that has nothing to do with the tenants. There's no way in the world I'd have an outdoor pool without a security camera for liability reasons alone, let alone trespassers.

Jolteon ,

In general, I think that if you're not confident enough to upvote your own post, you shouldn't post it in the first place.

Jolteon ,

There's not much difference between a global flood and a flood of West Eurasia to the people living in West Eurasia, where the Bible was written.

Jolteon ,

Many people live halfway across the state from their family.

Jolteon ,

Flesh is still a lot softer than concrete

Jolteon ,

People are always complaining about how AI art is putting real artists out of business, so I would have thought that the same thing applied here (hopefully resulting resulting in less exploitation). Really sad to see that's not the case.

Jolteon ,

I can envision plenty of use cases, none of which are laptops.

Jolteon ,

They make too much money from data harvesting to scrap Gmail, though.

I am genuinely horrified to see how much data google collected from me

I created a google takeout and in that zip file I found some files containing a ton of data about me. It has logged every single page I visited while using the google search engine and chrome browser. It even logged every single time I opened an app on my old android phone. It even has VOICE RECORDINGS of me and a log of every...

Jolteon ,

Google's bound to put ads on Google sheets eventually.

Jolteon ,

Some interesting LATEX-related searches:

  • latex wrap
  • latex confine to table
  • latex change orientation
