Exactly. And I'm no purist - I'm happy to use "dot" with a mouse if I want to easily repeat an edit in tens of places if they're not nicely aligned or searchable.

The GPS meridian doesn't align with the steel(?) bar anyway. There's a Tom Scott video about it.

I don't know about this case, so I can only speak in general. A lot of times people that say this don't make a strong case that some theoretical more moderate protest would be effective. There is just a feeling that if they person

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but zero-mistake seems harsh. I would say that AI references are a sign of something that is not simply a mistake. However, we can have zero tolerance for certain techniques for "writing" a pap

dns_snek never said any specific person as a mindless consumer. They argued that if you see nothing but drama then that implies you are a mindless consumer. The argument is that a mindful consumer would see that Louis Rossman is, in his way

To be technically correct: if even a single non-premium member can, for some reason, see who viewed their profile, then the statement "only Premium members can see who has viewed their profile" is false. So technically, you can&#x

Maybe I'm lucky in the instance I chose or the content I like being uncontroversial, but this isn't my experience at all. I've heard of instances carrying a lot of Nazi content being banned, and of instances choosing not to r

There are four open source period tracking apps on F-droid. I didn't do a full investigation of the source code, but unless your data is being uploaded outside the app (e.g. for backups), I feel safe assuming it will stay local only.

If you have a big site and want as broad an access as possible I agree. But I wouldn't be surpised if we start seeing self-hosted minecraft or factorio servers with ipv6 only.

I'm not experienced with other CAD programs, but I think scaling stuff works fine. If you want to scale your entire object, there's a scale part operation in the part toolbench. But in general you wouldn't want to do this. Fo

You can name them if you want, and the names will show up in the properties of the operation, and you can reuse the values in formulas. There's a lot of options, and I think a lot of it is a matter of taste/experience what to use

Technically you can get second-hand keys, but good luck verifying that it's actually a legal resale. Also good luck getting the latest, most up to date version of Vista. You still aren't allowed to start a group to collectively pa

Yes, and the developers of Gnome are strongly encouraging you to move to Wayland. You are free to ignore that suggestion. If you delete the first 13 words from my previous comment it may be a more suitable comment for you.

You can use an old version of Gnome and accept older software, or you can organize some fellow GNOME enthusiasts to maintain it, possibly with paid developers. You can't legally get old versions of Windows or Photoshop, and you can&#x2

The subsidies are also paid by vegans. Both the average meat consumption and average subsidy can be multiplied by the total population to get the total.

by elsjaako 6mo ago
You can like the taste of meat but think it's unethical to kill animals for food. It's not necessarily a "problem", but it is something a reasonable person might want, and so there can be a market for it.

If enough people agree with you, should pay to get your news in a non-misleading, non-sensationalist way. Sensationalist and misleading news is caused by newspapers that need to appeal to advertising and rich backers. Paying for news is the

I pay for a (local, non-english) newspaper. The reporting certainly isn't perfect, but: - They seem less sensationalist, I guess because they don't depend on clicks to survive - They tell a more complete, less dumbed down story th

If we have DRM with some private key, then I guess your idea is I download the game files and some private key and that allows me to run the game. If I can send you the private key and the game and it allows you to run the game with no furt

It is a more complex system than having a single central organization. Not every interest is well represented, so there may not be a lot of content for everyone. I've never had a mastodon.social account, but I can understand the frustr

I see your point a bit better. I definitely agree that insurance can be terrible. I will say that with US health insurance you've pretty much picked the worst possible insurance to compare it to. Farmers typically have more knowledge a

I know I shouldn't react this way, but this view that Mastodon can only be successful if it's the largest platform out there always gets under my skin. There are about a million active users of the fediverse, and I know plenty of

In my experience most people have at least one other chat app installed. Signal, Telegram, Facebook (I think there's a built in messenger), discord, and snapchat are all common. It's just that practically everyone has Whatsapp, so

I don't know what this particular author has against LLMs, but a lot of people are bothered by the very intense, robots.txt ignorming, scraping of their sites. The website being blocked by the scrapers would be a positive outcome.
