I don’t think this is true at all.

Ah, yes. I forgot I had enabled Firefox Focus as content blocker, for some reason. It must have a rule for Twitter images or something. Thanks!

Page unreadable on an iPhone (tried both Safari and Firefox). All the images are blank… Any advice?

1,44 MB was the capacity of the High Density 3 1/4” disks that were introduced for the IBM PC in 1987. The target system for Sierra’s first adventures (The Wizard and the Pricess, King’s Quest et al) was the Apple II, whose floppies co

You could say that. The Sierra games were a bit revolutionary in using vector graphics for the backgrounds. It meant they could fit dozens of full-color game screens on a single Apple II floppy disk, which was no small feat. Of course, sinc

From a brief glance at it, this tool seems to make high resolution renders of the vector based art in the game files. There is no “upscaling” because the art was drawn as points, lines, fills, etc to begin with. The reason it looks pixelate

Maybe not on Zoom but I’ll bet it is on FaceTime and Messenger video chats.

What are you saying, that the Danish are selling the technology on to the Chinese? As if the Chinese government didn’t already have massively deployed facial recognition tech?

We used to have one like that, too, and I don’t remember it being capable of single-gram accuracy like my cheap IKEA scales are.

I won’t dispute your numbers, but have you measured latency and jitter? Some people who like to call themselves hard-core gamers care a lot about those metrics, and Wi-Fi has historically been pretty abysmal at latency. I don’t know if the

This should be the posted link instead of the OP, IMO.

You might be able to find a metalworking shop that could manufacture a new spring for you. If you’re willing to pay for it.

I don’t know if this is obvious to you or not, but this does not sound like a problem for merchants in most parts of the world. US sales tax is insane and not representative of most jurisdictions, globally speaking. I’m not saying you could

You have the same problem with a cash transaction, I’m sure.

Then why pay him that much in the first place?

Now you’re just stringing random words together. What is the “Kissinger trap”? The topic was the freedom of an American corporation to not finance warfare. There is no moral or legal imperative for them to permit their users to finance a fo

Exactly. My point is that they are materially different. A person may disagree with Patreon’s policy, but you have to agree that it is not in fact hypocritical (or “schizophrenic”) to allow funding to one but not the other.

There is a difference to funding a gun blog or shooting-focused YouTube channel, versus training army personnel and buying guns for them.

Sure, so do I, but when I tell my manager I'm worth X amount, he'll say that's just not where local salaries are at for my job category and responsibility. Implying that other developers in my area are available for less than

Where do you live that 700€ a DAY is low pay? It’s, that’s MORE than 700$ a day, not less. Consider that most parts of the world have lower cost of living than the Bay Area.

Ah, yes, the famously communist France. (Pages Jaunes are operated by Orange, previously state monopoly France Telecom.) Just as you say, these monopolies are all deregulated and sold off. But they were all developed and operated by monopol

I think you have too high hopes for the possibility to get non tech-geek users to try the Fediverse. If Heavy Metal Community A on Facebook disappears overnight, I think the users will simply join Heavy Metal Community B (on Facebook).

How would you rebuild a community - start a new Page on Facebook and re-invite all you previous followers?

While interesting to know, for a curious observer, it’s not exactly relevant to solving the OP’s problem.

The yellow pages were absolutely run by state-owned telecom operators, less than 25 years ago, all over Europe.

Yes, the DMCA has received criticism for this lack of balance since it was proposed in the 90’s. It’s a very valid point that neither of the US political parties seems willing to reform around.

I don’t have the facts but it would make some sense for emergency response medics to wait until Police have declared the area safe. Might have been a factor.

Well now I REALLY think you’re racist, because now I have to guess what your opinion is. Just spell it out, for christ’s sake.
