Python's ping3 package also encodes this knowledge in LLM-accessible form.
I'm not looking forward to _that_ CAPTCHA.
Then they'd have two problems: people camping out in the stores and managing thousands of printers.

Because enough people will pay $200 for a "premium" HDMI cable, that a market for premium HDMI cables exists.
It's not a person in the chat, it's an account. The account is usually controlled by the person associated with it, but you can't assume that it's always controlled by that person.
All the more reason the elected need to experience it.
One could assume that the previous priority was "grow the app catalog through the use of a permissive listing model," and it's changed to "improve the quality of the app catalog by being more selective about who and what is allowed to be listed."

Never present an option you wouldn't want to live with. The internet teaches us that what "nobody should ever do" isn't obvious to everyone all the time.

IIRC, nerds were the primary drivers of the search engine wars.

How many of these would it take to drive down property values in a neighborhood?
Policy is a political issue.
But for modernity's sake, the site needs to add 100 MB of poorly-understood and maintained JavaScript dependencies that break the behavior you're describing so that it can be done entirely in JS.
Someone has to pay, but there's no requirement that someone gets to take a percentage as profit.

What's the percentage?

I'd be very surprised if there's not at least a debug port onboard.
Re:Apple M3 Ultra on Friday March 07, 2025 @11:29AM (#43291547)
Sure, but FreeBSD also has a Linux compatability layer. For a company that's given up on the server market so many times, making MacOS compatible with _THE_ server OS makes a lot of sense.
Not if you're breathing through your mouth. Inhaled asthma medication has about the same consistency as brake dust.
Re:Open source maintainers are feeling the squeeze on Monday February 17, 2025 @09:44AM (#43079489)
It's either that, or Enterprise Linux vendors will start buying out struggling maintainers in order to make future updates subscriber-only.
It's great because it gives politicians a foreign enemy to deride, generates lots of online engagement, doesn't impact people's lives in any meaningful way, and when it's implemented, it's only visible to people in the country ordering the rename.
Re:Gulf of America name change in the U.S. on Tuesday February 11, 2025 @09:12AM (#43012903)
This is the parody. Anything else would be imperfect.

It happens because political theater works on enough people to swing elections.
What's the political alignment of this group? All we have is a paid press release from a group founded in 2024, with an executive board consisting of "Jive, Lilli, and Nathan."
One example: They're selling domain registration privacy, but don't sufficiently secure the private data. The entire Domains by Proxy dataset is available on the dark web.
Re:Test on Friday December 13, 2024 @09:40AM (#42408797)
It's not the first time they've tested things in public in a way that undermines public trust.
I've noticed a slight drop-off, but my phone is still useless.
Re:UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Fatally Shot in Manhattan on Wednesday December 04, 2024 @04:04PM (#42322036)
It happens all the time in 2024, but it takes the form of pharmacy benefit managers arbitrarily forcing people off effective medications onto cheaper, less effective ones.
Re:UnitedHealthcare CEO fatally shot in midtown Manhattan on Wednesday December 04, 2024 @10:45AM (#42318575)
That was Change HealthCare, a UnitedHealthCare subsidiary. The reaction to the news was similar.
