Super fun, pardner. That horse is looking a little sparse, though. Maybe you could draw that horse winning the lottery and subsequently losing most of that money to gambling debts?

I think top comment is a reference of some kind.
I heard something similar; the studio didn’t think the movie would be popular if they used too many computer terms so they made them change the function to “battery”. Initially the reason Neo has powers is because his node happens to have admin access.
I think the difference is that when you pay discord, they stop advertising to you.
My boss’s favorite saying is to just make logical decisions.
I can’t take him/her seriously because he/she is a Mormon and that’s the least logical decision you can make.
The ramblings of an absolute madman. This is what they’ve been demanding your respect for.
To summarize: the video opens on a series of games, each one progressively older, overlaid with a review of that game from the time it came out praising it as the best graphical fidelity of its time. Basically, they’re saying “Yes, graphics got better, but we always seem to conclude that they’re the best they will ever be”
I used to enjoy it, but over time I ended up in a similar boat. Just a huge bust of anxiety, especially socially. But on the other hand, I feel pretty okay in the day to day. I’ve come to see it as a sort of forced introspection - not necessarily revealing anything I don’t already know about, but bringing it all to the surface and forcing the mind to see it. In that respect, it could still be drawing a line between feeling and how things are going.
Not that it makes it necessarily more universal, but I think there’s a grain of truth.
I’ll be honest, for a minute I thought it was not a flaw but referring to “Monday Me, on Monday” which is a concept I can relate to
I love this idea. Unfortunately, I think it’s just a slightly unnatural vocal performance. Even though AI can perfectly replicate voices tonally, they can’t truly generate the same cadence and inflections, or sometimes even get close without a good deal of human assistance. I suspect this will change over time. As with ChatGPT, we’ll be looking to AI to solve the problem of AI mimicking humans too well.
I don’t think it’s just a feeling of futility - it’s true phones can be distracting and offer more potential entertainment, and it’s true learning can sometimes be a slog. At the same time, learning can be fun and engaging, and phones can offer access to a wealth of information (of highly varying quality, admittedly).
Concentrating too hard on mere academic success as gauged by metrics like school grades is undoubtedly discouraging for a student who only goes to school if they are told they must.
Essentially true but thoroughly reductive. Like saying “live music is all about saying look at me play all these notes”
I think legal semantics might just be beside the point. I believe she knew the possibility was there and accepted it, but the answer she was looking for is “how far does it go” when a person essentially publicly forfeits their rights. Blanket consent, the forfeiture of those rights, they don’t fundamentally change that this is a person.
Really depends on her definition of being a witch. For the most part, hell yeah, I’m on board.
Seems like a good deal if it proactively convinces bad actors to stop from reaching out
I do agree that $10 is more in line with what I’d expect personally, but to be fair you have a few options before getting to that point.
If you know you’re going to be using Sync and staying on Lemmy, you have no problem.
If you’re staying on Lemmy but just trying Sync, you can just use the app with ads for a while to try it out, or you could subscribe to the monthly subscription which is like $2 a month, and if you are still using it 10 months later then it’s clearly worth the cost to you.
Or if you don’t like ads and you don’t like subscriptions and you’re not attached to Sync, you probably just move on to another app!
Someone should make a list of all the Lemmy apps which are objectively better than Sync and the reasons why. That’d show them.
Honestly, i think Memmy was a step too far. Why even develop more apps than Jerboa at most?
A few points to make and answer:
The app is technically free, but yes it is made by a single dev and it is/was his income, so it’s ad-supported.
The development is still ongoing and so some things aren’t finalized, but there is a one time payment option that will be available (something like $10) to just remove ads.
The Ultra tier which has the subscription cost (and much higher one time cost at $99) is what incurs monthly fees in this case, mostly for cloud storage for things like settings and I believe an OCR and translation API.
Ultimately, use whatever makes you happy and aligns with your principles, but there are at least a few good reasons why it is how it is.
I’ve recently started using Edge as a YouTube TV browser. It’s a temporary arrangement, but it lets me cast from mobile across the room.
It’s both! Yaaay!
I don’t think so. It requires at least some inherent knowledge of tape decks, that they have “head” readers and that those need cleaning.
