Oh fuck yeah. Skype used to throw errors when the advertisements scripts didn’t run correctly. I remember getting dozens of pop ups when the ad changed to something new. To my knowledge, they haven’t put ads in Teams, yet. They first need to kill the competition a bit; really set the hook before they reel you in.

The health data could be used against you in court.

I’m listening to the Bobiverse again because the fifth book came out recently. The universe, pun intended, was really interesting and the entire idea of digital people is fun to think about while doing chores.

I was shopping for parts for a Halloween costume at the beginning of the month. Christmas music was playing in the store.

“Yes.” “Ah, shit, well I’ll let you get back to it.” “No, I’m awake now. What’s going on?”

Every time. If someone wakes me up they may need to talk and I’m always about that.

So, if I’m reading this correctly, the votes were tallied and the initial ranking was placed on the left side from most votes at the top and least votes to the bottom.

The candidate with the least votes is eliminated and then the people who voted for them either get moved to the candidate with their next highest preference or to the nebulous “nobody” at the bottom if they have no other preference remaining.

This continues with the position for some candidates changing as their total number of votes changes. Eventually the top candidate receives the minimum number of votes to qualify for a position; in this case that looks like 1/5 of the votes as their are 5 positions open.

Any further votes that would be given to them are instead passed to the next highest preferred candidate until there are only 5 candidates remaining who all qualify for the positions.

What a fantastically clear representation of a complex process!

Because eventually you’ll break it lose one of the cups and then have 3 incomplete sets that will hopefully provide a full set between them.

• What color was the ball? Blue
• What gender was the person that pushed the ball? Male
• What did they look like? Skinny, pants, dress shirt
• What size is the ball? Like a marble, or a baseball, or a basketball, or something else? Blue, smooth, baseball sized
• What about the table, what shape was it? What is it made of? Around 2ft square, wooden, light color, four square legs

All of this was built in my head with each part of the prompt. Pretty sure I don’t have aphantasia.

Just want to weigh in on Resolve. I was able to get the free version running on Mint, but the free version can’t do H.264. I then bought Resolve Studio, but activating the license did not work so I ended up on Windows for video editing.

I also had to switch back to Windows for Affinity, as I have been using Photoshop for years and I have yet to find another piece of software (excluding Affinity) I can move at speed in.

Once I get the content creation off Windows, I can probably leave it behind for good.

Another thing I’m certain she doesn’t actually understand.

Wow, you sobered up quick!

Actually, I think that one at least has some history to it.

The disk drive was one of the first ways to store information between computer sessions as the first computers didn’t have built in storage. You would create a program, run it, and then when you shut the computer off it was gone. Since the disk drive was used to store programs for later, or “save” them, the icon was born from the physical object.

Sharing, conversely, doesn’t really have a real world example to base the icon on. Maybe two hands exchanging things? Perhaps two arrows to illustrate the ability for things to go both ways? Maybe a set of interconnected dots to show the connection between things? Any of them could work, so the iconography is less clear.

The one on top. The skirt makes it confusing, but you can see the foot on the ground is shaped as the right foot.

Awesome, that game was quite fun in early access. I’ll have to install it again.

I disagree with the part where a single person gets to decide to follow a law or not because it opens up the other side doing the same thing.

That same gender affirming care could be through the post, in which case someone who disagrees could just not deliver it.

The law needs to apply evenly or what is a loophole to one is shenanigans to the other.

Unironically, isn’t that exactly how property taxes work on land and housing?

I’ve seen a lot of rulers that actually don’t have a mark at 0 and instead go right to the edge as 0. Typically they are worn down, being made of wood, so the accuracy of the first inch is dubious. To ensure the distance is correct, sliding the ruler down one unit is a good idea. So, my ruler starts at 0 but my measurements start at 1.

But people always judge them as slow because they only see them on land. Sometimes you just gotta find your place in the world to really excel.

Now hold on mate, just listing facts is not the same as an endorsement of a conclusion. The same can be said about NOT listing facts. All the information available should be presented to allow for informed opinions.

The longest journeys all start with the first step.
