What if you aren't currently holding your phone, with it unlocked and the (probably slow to load) app open? What if you don't have switched outlets, and want to turn off lights either a) when the room is still dark, or b) when you

Is that not definitionally propaganda?

I feel the same way. All of git's weirdness seems totally reasonable once you understand it on its own terms. It doesn't even take a ton of understanding to get that that point either.

At my job we use Teams, but basically just for meetings (and the associated chat), and it works really well. About the only complaint I could make is that it occasionally guesses the wrong audio devices, but it's fairly easy to change

Theoretically you'd just need an enormous telescope to collect enough light to resolve an image. Though based on the features that modern telescopes can resolve on the moon ~1 light second away, it'd probably need a telescope on

Or, when they succumbed to socialist revolutions which drew the attention of capitalist interventionists. The devastating impacts we've had can't be downplayed.

Legally, probably. But in the US, "legally" is enforced by the executive, and that's who's telling them to comply.

The main formats are plenty powerful with the formatting they support. The bigger issue is that ebooks need to render on a pretty big variety of devices, and users can override typefaces and font size. So short of using a PDF to override th

What about the format is stagnant? I haven't read a physical book in roughly a decade, and haven't remotely found ebooks lacking. And to be clear, I understand and agree with the moral objections to DRM. I think we have lost somet

Allowing people to draw a line in the sand for an acceptable level of deviation from the normal leaves you open to them nudging that line just a bit further to ostracize more and more of the vulnerable. I've never been the biggest fan

Yes. Raids on queer bars would round up people up, and arrest any gender non-conforming people wearing fewer than three articles of clothing of their assigned sex. Terminology was different at the time, but people we would probably now desc

Do you have a decent source for that? Because the articles I'm seeing just say that they use MTP now, instead of USB mass storage, but that still lets you transfer files via USB.

No, as long as it's in a compatible format. They're not removing the ability to put files onto the Kindle, just removing the ability to download files from them , for the purpose of being put onto a Kindle.

by delecti 2y ago
No. They're removing the ability to download the books from their website in a format which can be manually put onto the device. If you get ebooks from places other than them, you can still manually transfer them to a Kindle, regardles

That suggestion seems rather conspiratorial. Do you have any reason to think that's the case, or are you just throwing it out as a wild possibility? Also, has anything changed WRT Ian Miles Cheong's credibility? He's been a f

Youtube has the ability to limit videos to certain markets. One example is that the entirety of Mythbusters was uploaded in the past couple years, but isn't available to view in the US.

I had always been under the impression that EVs are significantly lower maintenance than ICEs. Was that a misconception on my part, or am I missing why maintenance would be a point in favor of fuel cell cars?
