Jokes on you, my coffee maker is me

Ok, offline functionality does make sense

Why use an app when there’s a web site? In case of Wikipedia I fail to see any functional benefit for an app.

Street vendors beat chains every time

This is gonna make him a fucking martyr.

The new animated Spider-man movies were awesome, fucking loved it. Also Deadpool still seems to keep up the quality when comparing the first to. The boys also rock, I just hope the show doesn’t drag on too long. I’d say superhero media still has good stuff, it’s just way more saturatred, so good stuff has to stand out somehow.

Hmm… I’ve stopped watching Marvel after the endgame, I just felt oversaturated with superhero stories. Never recovered.

I’ve never really liked Star wars. I was exposed to it at an age where all I cared was cool action sequences and the prequels did it better. Tried watching the new ones and they were just boring.

Pixar seems to be doing fine? The second inside out was fine. I mean it’s more of the same as the first one, but it’s a good kids movie. Not sure about their other stuff, but I don’t recall anything particularly bad.

Bold of you to assume we have credit cards

I fucking love these wacky names.

You’re overthinking it…

However, you can save encrypted ssh, gpg keys and save that encryption key in the OS keyring.

During my time in a call center people would often call for invoices or messages they received. Most of my work there was reading the thing together with them. Nothing more was necessary, I just read alound their itemized invoice that they had received and it would solve their problem.

Click through pop-ups are even worse in this regard. I myself usually just automatically click No before I understand what just happened.

I’m the kind of user that cares about function over form, so everything in Windows 11 just annoyed me. Mainly because it was just changes in design that required me to reorient and to learn to use again with no good reason.
I still use Windows at work just because our whole dev stack is on Windows. And every new design change just gets in my way. An OS should enable me do the things that I need and want, it should move out of my way. Sure I’ve added some hacks to restore the functionality I was used to. But the fact that I need to fight the OS to bring back context menus annoys me to no end.

Also, as a dev, I find many things easier done on Linux that Windows, mainly because it just has a better CLI support. It’s not as bad now with Windows terminal, winget and other improvements (dotnet having a proper CLI interface), however I still mostly use git-bash for common stuff like searching the file system. Not to mention that for something like docker I basically just need WSL.

What’s stopping researchers from forming their online community and just putting their work on a forum?

Dunno never saw the appeal anyway

Snapchat has a web client? :o

How is IAs approach much different to that of a regular library?

True, they were digitising physical books and lending copies. But this is not much different from how a regular library works (assuming controlled digital lending, yeah I heard aboud Covid period 😕).

I’m not an expert on American law (know nothing about it), but reading the articles and comments I thing there’s an argument to be made for IA functioning as a library.

Yeah, that. I have no need for mobile syncing, but I believe loqseq provided syncing works via git
