I was one of the 20,000 happy Acorn Atom users. What was so special about Atom Basic was the ability to directly embed 6502 Assembler inside a basic program. Between that an a wonderful EPROM that provided a number of graphics and sound ext

If they’re already having to deal with fractured organs[1], then I have to ask what’s the point given that an organ can probably handle far greater damage than the brain. Whilst the dreamer in me would like to believe that all this is possi

Beats me. I lost focus after about 10 seconds of scrolling and the multiple animations. At which point I bailed.

Got to admit, as disruptive an action this may be, it’s also pretty funny given how simple and non-destructive this is. Usually we see actions that are more damaging - but the simple act of “coning” would seem to be a relatively low risk ac

It is a lot. Period. I could pay for this and notice very little difference in my financial life. But I balk heavily at the $3k price tag and ask myself “what do I _really_ get out of this?” The answer is “nothing of value except a reminder

Marketing emails are noise. I get on average 5-10 emails a day that are unsolicited snake-oil emails, each one as chatty and friendly as the last. Each also has its own method of unsubscribing - some require email replies, some to links tha

No. Just….no. There are any number of reasons why this is a terrible thought. Boomers and Gen Xers were brought up in a world without the Internet and we all survived just fine. Being told by someone who does something that we should all do

I flagged this because not only is it a transphobic hit piece, it has nothing to do with tech, and everything to do with pushing an agenda.

Another failure thinking Correlation and causation are the same thing. Money is tighter these days, many employees are working on more projects with less access to resources and many have not had a pay raise in a couple of years, or work in

$10 a month just to monitor subscriptions? That’s a huge amount of money for very little return. And that’s from someone who pays for subscriptions like Fantastical (multiple valued added services etc.) and Carrot weather (a huge number of

Only basic Office file types supported? No thanks. Not even markdown is on the list.

That’s my point. There’s valid reasons to defederate and then there’s ideological reasons.

by MissTake 3y ago
Not a fan of ideological censorship myself, but deferderating from instances such as pedo.school, cum.camp, various kiwifarms instances and hentai.baby, seem reasonable to me.

It can, yes, but it's invariably because of a usually valid business decision rather than an admin personal grievience. I get defederating from known bad actors, but these days it's not uncommon to lose access to an instance becau

Not it's not like email for the simple reason that instances can, and often do, block other instances. When's the last time you heard of Fastmail saying that they were now blocking all emails from Zoho because they didn't lik

Oh, the irony of a subscription tracking app charging $10 A MONTH to track subscriptions...

OR it could be simply regional. In the UK I created CVs, in the US I created Resumes. Same thing, different names.

I'll believe it when I see it. Been hearing the same tale for years now.

1) Tubi has ads. 2) I despise ads. 3) I have a nice disposal income. Simple really. What surprises me is why you even asked the question as I'd have thought the sheer fact that Tubi is financed through adverts would make it obvious why

"Building"? This has been around for about 3 years already, hasn't it? Seem to remember I set up an account when it first launched and I don't think I ever returned.

Quoting 3 sources that range from "right" to "extreme right" doesn't help your case. (Edit: typos)

Pretty pointless reply. Meanwhile there were two subreddits I was in that took a poll beforehand and both had "block indefinitely" as the winning choice by members by a large degree. Granted they were but two out of basically mill

"Any subreddit that has done a poll asking if they should go back to private was overwhelmingly told no" Care to back up this claim with some actual evidence?

There was - a major one. But Twitter killed ALL the third party apps beforehand. Meanwhile the fact that Twitter's valuation has dropped so badly since Elon brought it shows the effect these individual protests had.

I'm convinced that many drivers over here in the US see them as a requirement to "release the steering wheel" to make left and right turns. Nothing else explains why so many drivers will sit at lights, not a signal in sight,

This does not surprise me. Saddens me for sure, but this is all part of his belief that to be tolerant you have to remove all barriers. So what if people get to continue to show how much hatred they have for people they do not know, nor eff
