Can confirm. I speak 3 languages (A (English), B (my mother tongue) and C). For most of my life I monologued in some combination of A and B. When I was a NEET for a couple years it was mostly in A because I spent most of my time on the internet. When I got a job my coworkers spoke in C so (as much as I hated it) my mind quickly started to occasionally default to C.
Another thing I noticed very often is when I consume any piece of media (could be a book or a TV show) my mind very quickly picks up the peculiarities of the narrative/spoken language and stays like that for a couple days.
>The Instagram appeals process is to email them a selfie, holding a piece of paper with the current date and something else written on it.
Do they also ask you to put a shoe on your head?
That's funny, I've always hated it when someone turned on the TV or put on some music in the same room as me because it disturbed my inner monologue.
>Does anyone know why the leaves are initially so dark and then become lighter? Is that common in plants?
From what I've seen it's common in at least a subset of plants, that fresh leaves have a very distinctive red-ish colour.
XMPP if you're willing to host it yourself.
I don't know what a self-hosted service that lets every user have power over the instance would look like, but the original argument was that IRC gives you ownership over your own server.
Hell, the "no say over the owner" argument isn't even restricted to self-hosted services, there have been numerous cases of a discord admin nuking the server over some petty drama.
To be fair that takeover was only possible because the owner of freenode sold the server to a malicious party which is only possible because you own the server, so that kinda reinforces parent's point.
Their largest audience is "journalists" who wouldn't be happy with something like that.
Most wikis or resource/documentation sites have a local search bar on their homepage, Firefox has a feature where it lets you add a search keyword for that specific site. So if you add, say, pydocs as a keyword for docs.python.org you can do "@pydocs <query>" it looks up the query on that page.
That's not what parent said at all, if anything he meant the very opposite. He was just suggesting missing features. The site is a nice tiny project but it's not what you'd expect when you think of making websites from paper, you'd think it would understand layouts and convert them to CSS or let you create a sitemap from a tree but as it is it's just OCRing text and uploading it to a page with an editor next to it.
That saying is meant for commercialized products obviously. But it's still kind of true if you stretch it to FOSS software, the allegory would be that you pay for it with your time (by fixing/bringing attention to bugs) rather than directly profiting the devs.
>there is no evidence it's in any way related to "criticizing dislike removal"
That was the last thing he commented which strongly suggests it is. The other few comments he showed were innocent ones praising animations and stuff too.
Youtube Shorts is just a frontend, you can watch those videos with the same UI as regular youtube by changing the url from youtube.com/shorts/xyz to youtube.com/watch?v=xyz.
>He casually says stuff like school closures will haunt society for 100 years
Well maybe you can accuse him of exaggerating but it's true to an extent. In my (third world) country students have effectively missed two years of schooling, I know some primary students who don't know how to read/write very well.
I know devs who do free giveaways through steam keys once in a while so presumably there is a provision in place for that too.
Yep, for me it's this. I don't know why others are complaining about the other way around, maybe it's because I thought of Emacs as being different from other editors right from the get go, but I doubt I've ever accidentally entered CUA shortcuts in Emacs. But Emacs shortcuts in normal editors while using school PCs was something I did all the time.
No inbuilt documentation system called Index?
Really? If someone asked you if exclamation marks in usernames would cause problems before you were aware of this, would you have said yes? It's a very common special character, it's not like it's a control character or some obscure unicode thing. Besides, it's a common thing to add to usernames outside of services where you use your real name.
Do they ship here? A lot of products shipping from China have trouble getting to India.
It's "functional" but has too many caveats that make it a pain to use on a daily basis. Like, tabs don't update while in the background, it keeps killing tabs after some time, scrolling on some sites is a mess because the navbar gets fucked and starts covering half the page for some reason, when certain HTML elements are too close to a hyperlink you can't click on them, etc. These are all things that worked fine on version 68 and before.
Yep, Firefox android is impossible to use if you do anything non-trivial and has so many quirks. It's been over a year since the rewrite so I don't know what they're doing.
Sorry, I didn't mean that in a derogatory way. I just meant twitch users pay for the sake of giving money to their favorite streamers rather than paying for a product. Strip clubs are the first example that came to my mind, bands or comics also stand. My point was that OP's argument about comparing twitch to movies doesn't make sense because paying for a movie is no different than paying for groceries.
>It's not really materially different to paying Disney millionaires to go watch the latest Marvel movie.
I feel like it's substantially different, you are paying Disney the money to watch the movie, you don't really care about the actors or other people who worked on it.
On the other hand, twitch users pay for the sake of paying money, it's closer to something like strip clubs.
The real hacker news-ish comments are the ones like yours posting cheap "gotchas" and pointing out hypocrisies where there are none every time someone says something similiar.
An engineer sees structural problems with buildings and bridges where people who use them everyday don't. An english major can see a problem with the language used in a newspaper where thousands of other readers don't. There is nothing unusual about this.
What firewall do you use?
How? Of course asking OP to add features for a site he offers for free is wrong, but I don't think he's wrong about gif. As far as I know all the "gif" sharing sites like giphy and stickers in chat apps like discord, etc actually use webms/webps.
I've always been looking for anushell.
