I first thought this was a bad idea by Paypal but you opened my eyes

Chat is this real

Furthermore, it’s not that the original scientists failed to produce true-color images. The original published images of Neptune had deliberately enhanced colors to better show some of the features of the cloud surface, and the description text of the images said as much. But that nuance was quickly forgotten and everybody just took the deep blue coloring to reflect the actual color of the planet, which spread to depictions of the planet everywhere.

I see no problem as long as the fire department didn’t order them to touch it.

There are roughly speaking two kinds of systems. The kind of system where Bachelor is the default degree you get from university, and you can go on to get a Masters and/or a doctorate. And the other kind of system where the default university degree is a combined Bachelor and Masters, and you can study further to get a doctorate. The latter kind is in use in a lot of continental Europe, at least.

I was never a fan of Calibri but the new font looks way too Arial-like for my taste.

Tather in law

…I just drink it?

What fell off was a plug filling in an optional emergency exit location. It was a regular row of seats because the plane didn’t have the optional emergency exit installed (it is only required for high density passenger cabin configurations).

Japan has various earthquake notification systems. Tweets are just one more way to get the information to the people on a platform they use.

Like the old joke goes, “when I’m watching anime and my mom walks in, I alt tab to porn because it’s easier to explain”

A 5 second break, while suboptimal, is significantly less suboptimal than having to watch 20+ second ads.

I often watch vods. My favorite streamer’s time zone and streaming schedule mean that I can only catch a couple of hours of the beginning of their stream before going to bed, and I couldn’t regularly watch 8-10 hours of stream in one go anyway, so I watch the vods of the streams I want to see the rest of.

I think that’s what they’re pointing out, that a joystick has too many dimensions.

It’s not the exact same thing, but I’ve definitely been drawn out of what I’m watching because of compression artifacts.

The price of a cup of coffee yeah maybe, but with how many paid online services there are, how many cups of coffee a day y’all think I’m having?

I mean, THE main character traits of Scrooge McDuck are that he’s stingy and absolutely ludicrously filthy rich.

That’s the main reason I didn’t even consider them. “Proton(mail)” just sounds more professional when used in actually important contexts and is easier for people to get right.

In general, I’ve noticed that a lot of privacy focused software, particularly FOSS, are really bad at choosing names which make people want to use them. They tend to have names which might appeal to some crypto-nerds, but which make them sound just weird or questionable or niche to the average user. Like (the precursor to) Signal the messaging app used to be called TextSecure. There’s no way I would’ve gotten my parents and siblings to use something called TextSecure. The name just sounds so geeky and niche.

OpenStreetMap has been going for almost 20 years now. It’s a very well known open map data platform. Like Wikipedia, anyone can edit OSM map data, and all of the data is freely available for anyone to use.
