I don’t think so. You can tell by their billion miles stare they don’t have much of a choice but to put up with his crap for now.

Evolution’s fucking badass!

The process that made these images is very similar to the ones used by genAI in some ways.

Or the pg tips approach: ‘d’ya know what? No more tag or thread for ya now you’ve got to fish and pinch the baggy out of your scolding tea ya wanker’.

Yeah maybe not even non-standard as much as non-formal in this case.

I wanted to mean ‘different from what you learn in English class in school as a kid’ so non-formal, non -standard, dialectal, slang, misspellings, same-sounding words…

More or less my point, languages are weird with lots of arbitrary idiomatic things—‘would rather’ but ‘had better’.

After posting the comment I’ve thought ‘wait, it makes more sense for it to be should’ so my guesses are a bit off today.

That’d be a contraction of ‘would’ in this case, wouldn’t it? As an ESL speaker I used to find these grammar ‘mistakes’ (for lack of a better word) made more difficult for me to parse the sentences. As with code ‘written once but read many times’ would apply here.

‘He’s out of line but he’s right’. I mean, is a bit ironic to give this level of permission to a program that is too malware-like to protect yourself from exactly that. We’re talking about hospitals, airports and airlines, government agencies… many critical systems, so much information’s security rely on a (foreign for most of the world) private company.

I had an iPhone (4, don’t remember if it had usb tethering) but I didn’t even think of it. I think it was Debian 6 the one I was installing and there was one or two people with android phones…but whatever! Walking is healthy, isn’t it?

In the case of Debian I think it is philosophical. It’s been years since I’ve had to install proprietary things on Debian, but they used to be all in the non-free repository that you had to add manually. Honestly I like it, it reminds me I’m putting proprietary crap in the machine. Can be a pain in the ass when the wifi doesn’t work because some proprietary firmware is missing, and the laptop doesn’t have an Ethernet port so off you go to buy a usb-eth adaptor.

PNG is a good format for graphics, lettering, logos… not photography so unless your video is some cartoons you’re using png compression for something is not meant for.

I can sneeze several times in a row if a light is bright enough. I’ve even triggered it just thinking of the sun, a few times.

I have this. Mildly annoying.

As per the article two thirds of that ‘agricultural land’ is graze-lands, so like a 12.5% of that agricultural land is actually farmland dedicated to feed livestock.

Others had pointed the reasons, I wanted to add that you have to stop at the line, and if something obstructs your sight (at stop signs, not traffic lights) you have to go a bit forward and stop again.
