Very interesting, malloc!

At the least it’s a good idea to review card statements and debited amounts, even if readers don’t set this all up manually like you.

Apple lets you do this with ebooks, then you turn off iCloud sync thinking it’ll just keep all the local copies you just individually downloaded…

nah deletes ‘em all

lol

You’re aight if you don’t click the disambiguation link

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay_it_forward

I think we can keep Pay It Forward, I don’t think I knew it was a film much less an abuser-starring film.

The concept is old, but the particular phrase may have been coined by Lily Hardy Hammond in her 1916 book In the Garden of Delight. Robert Heinlein’s 1951 novel Between Planets helped popularize the phrase.

I’m like @[email protected] on the no-blocking-ever front.

None of us want Lemmy to be a Nazi bar, right? So if we see a Nazi on here and all of us block them today, they can circlejerk in a comment tomorrow and a newly registered user will see no one downvoted them or called them out.*

As a privileged person, I feel an obligation not to block anyone, and even feel I’m abdicating my duty a little by not browsing logged out sometimes to make sure Nazis can’t block me and spread hate without counterpoints lodged against them.

*would a “widely-blocked user” tag help? Not if they create a new account after every other post, & scummy users could mitigate by proactively blocking using “SJW user” lists, but it’s an idea

Nice. Though my car can’t be in constant communication with a cell tower or anything (too creepy) so IDK what the next vehicle I’ll buy will be.

Probably time to stop talking like this? Transformed, reimagining, deeply integrating—and the breathlessness. ok next, marketing

Well we can kinda only go when the signal is accompanied by another indication like slowing and or beginning to turn - “never trust a signal” eh?

Whoever came up with that deserves credit. Entirely lovely and harmless “superstition” as far as I can tell. No one is hoping for rain so they won’t be disappointed, but everyone has that line (“lucky it’s raining on your wedding day“ or whatever) ready just in case.

I wonder if there are other white lie kinda pro-social quips like that

Ya @[email protected] let’s send them complaints on this

They gotta give us a way to watch adfree without spying on us

That’s great. Fun memories! Simple but exciting

I’ll waste a few moments. It becomes a puzzle. Assuming you managed to make it through the maze, you retrospectively analyze where would 99% of the country have dropped out of the flow and given up?

Then it’s an email to the attorney general if necessary! (I mean that’s been rare but when something is egregious)

🤓

Great point that it’s a start

Ya we don’t all learn very early about blind not being absolute maybe unless specified

Gosh imagine profound deaf + totally blind, glad someone cares to design for folks

Braille on a smartphone screen?

How cool is it that someone figured out some digibraille?

A magnifier app with normal sized UI controls?

Guess they’d be huge if the person had their display settings blown up. Maybe farsighted folks would want it normal sized.

Lil bit of a stretch huh

I’ve heard folks stretch it before, wonder if it’s a thing now but IDK

The best part of this company. Will they directly profit from this? Maybe but maybeee not. There’s a chance someone actually cares there, someone with some sort of power I mean. (Obvy you can easily argue this is in their longer term financial interests)

Yeah they’re anticompetitive etc. but damn this is cause for a smidge of celebration.

Very interesting, thank you!

We probably think the first contact rules in Star Trek makes some sense. Is HP‘s magic disparate?

Edit:

Interesting that Muggles will never grow to become magical meanwhile a civilization can develop drive on the road. So one day one you would have tons of people trying to marry wizards/witches, and begging the wizarding community not just for help but for advancement and personal gain. I imagine immense resentment. Would be a toughie!

Or a traffic jam!

hehe yeah, do you think they at least adjust routes to commercial points of interest if 1000 people navigate somewhere and e.g. always stop a block away from where the map said? or always make a right when the map told them to take a left (but the city planted a tree there)?

one of the big players hasn’t tried to offer some sort of premium map subscription

Would we have to lose these great features?

Incredible

The base M1 MacBook Pro with 8GB of RAM was the woooooorst once I got a couple browsers open or something.

M1 Max MBP with 32GB of RAM was an overcorrection… but friggin unstoppable and recently cost half of its MSRP

16GB minimum pls OP justttttt in case! Hehe you’re def gonna find a deal, refurb or w/e, on whatever you choose!
