Just bad imo. No reason to do that when there are many talented voice actors out there who will do just fine.

I never got the impression there was much momentum for any more sequels anyway, Serenity felt like the bone they were willing to throw. This was a time before show revivals (rather than remakes/reboots e.g. BSG) were common, it was ve

You can't; OP was making a list of GrapheneOS wants without realizing they were mostly just describing how GOS works. That bit was the only miss.

Some people think that if their toddler misses naptime by 5 minutes it will be a disaster. Fairly sure it's just a vocal minority kind of thing. Totally with you though, our kids never seem to notice.

Because without this early resistance, there wouldn't even be vague promises of hobbyist/student exemptions. I think it's important to make community objection to the entire idea known loud and clear, especially when changes

I mean, you're up there positing that a company is definitely failing because their app is terrible. Accusing others of constructing a reality based on their own principles is a bit of glass house stone throwing, no? Practically every

I finally got frustrated enough to go in and manually increase the default scrollbar size in Firefox. Slim scrollbars are awful both to look at and to use. I'm working with an ultrawide monitor here, please give me more than 0-3 pixels

In the US we also use the phrase "type A" to describe someone who is very fastidious or anal-retentive, but I've never known it to be related to blood type. Wonder if it shares roots?

Except that in the legal sense, "is user adult" flips from false to true overnight, and there isn't an easy way to account for that in any model that doesn't include verified ID. Same reason many liquor stores ID anyone

Until those switches come in the crosshairs of someone's KPIs, and then magically they get flipped in whatever direction makes the engagement line go up. Unfortunately we live in a world where all of these companies have done this exac

I've been tying my shoes using the Ian knot for years (decades??) now. Makes your laces sit a bit funny compared to regular, but my shoes never come untied by accident. Highly recommend trying it out if you have this problem even occas

He certainly doesn't beat around the bush here. Very nice too see someone of his stature stand up and call out these shenanigans for what they are.

I suspect that's the other thing at play here; many people have only tried Copilot because it's cheap with all the other Microsoft subscriptions many companies have. Copilot frankly is garbage compared to Cursor/Claude, even

Our dishwasher keeps its little screen on and blinking until you actually hit the on/off button, and we effectively use that as a cleanness indicator. We only turn it off after having cleaned out the dishwasher. So the off state always

I'm curious, is most of your dishware plastic? We have a Bosch and it does a great job drying everything except for the plastic stuff. I'm assuming the plastics cool faster and condense water on to them, but not 100% sure. Glass a

I've basically shifted to negatively weighting any advertisements I see, the thinking being that if a company needs to advertise, they're more likely to be a scam; companies who are actually great at what they do can survive off w

I do this as well, and occasionally people get confused and think I work for the company I'm interacting with (enterprise@myname.com is close enough to myname@enterprise.com, I guess.) I usually don't bother to correct them, in ca

Here's a suggestion: maybe you could not track all of our activity extremely invasively by default, and allow those who would like to provide feedback and tracking to enable it on their own. Crazy thought, I know.

Colleagues whose full time job is doing this sort of thing for various bits of the government have told me this is exactly the case here. People from all over the government have been deputized to redact these documents with little or no pr

I'm on the same boat as you. Trying to find word about where the good local popup restaurants are, and apparently the only way to do it is to follow a bunch of random Instagram accounts. I finally tried to relent and make an account ju

Out of nowhere? The entire comment is talking about law enforcement (police) and law enforcement agencies (police departments) purchasing access to commercially owned surveillance databases. No warrant is required to use them, and in some c

Cheaper for the company. Whether they pass those savings on to their customers is another matter.

I think it's a product of the environment. I've lived some places (lower middle class suburban factory towns) where that sort of conversation wouldn't have been uncommon at all. I've lived other places (upper middle clas

Having your own domain connected to Apple Mail or Proton is fundamentally different than hosting your own email. Only the latter is at much risk of that.

Within the past week the CEO described predatory behavior on the platform as "not necessarily just a problem, but an opportunity as well". Not sure what YouTube videos have to do with that, regardless of production value.

I think what they're saying here is that you're not just suppressing a symptom, you're suppressing a sickness fighting mechanism.

Predates that awful guy being so well known. Unfortunate but doesn't seem worth retconning.

This doesn't make much sense to me. As the previous commenter mentioned, this shortage has been ongoing for decades, it's certainly not new in the last two years. Additionally, nursing is one of the jobs least replaceable by AI. T
