Even developing the next generation isn't a guarantee of success.
The Commodore 128 was a failure. It was far superior to the 64, but they made it backwards compatible by literally embedding a Commodore 64 inside. Software developers just kept developing for the 64.
On the other hand, backward compatibility has worked well for Nintendo and Sony.
And that source doesn't say anything about light sensitivity.
Roy did have eyeglasses to correct his vision, but they were quite normal; en route to an Alabama concert, however, he accidentally left them on the plane. The only other pair he had were prescription sunglasses, so he wore those instead. The very next day Roy was scheduled to open up a European Beatles tour, and there was no time to go find his old pair, so the dark shades stayed on him throughout the tour. The resultant frenzy of Beatlemania ensured that the singer would be seen throughout the world in that pair; by the time he returned home, it was a trademark.
Not that I necessarily believe anything in such an article.
In all my years, I've never heard a single person say they ever thought he was blind. I have a really hard time believing this was ever commonly believed.
I'm not disputing that you might have believed it and that some other people might have believed it, too. It's just, I doubt it was a common thing.
I had never ever heard of a coffee sock or cafestol / kahweol, but I just read an article two minutes ago that says coffee sock brewing doesn't result in high level of these chemicals.
I saw your comment there when I went to go copy the link, so I guess you saw it.
Diaereses don't indicate stress. They indicate separately pronounced vowels.
When you say OP, who are you talking about? The author of the post was talking about hyphens, and nothing about stresssed syllables, and I'm the one who brought up diaereses, and I wasn't referring to stressed syllables, either.
Also, by your coöperative pronunciation example, people would be mispronouncing reëlect.
I'm not sure what you mean.
It's pronounced co-operative and re-elect. Coöp needs it to not sound like "coop" as in chicken coop. Reëlect needs it to not sound like "reel" as in fishing reel.
I like to use them when words create a unit of thought. Like line-of-sight, and such. It really helps readability. It prevents people from having to think too hard about certain sentences when it's ambiguous which words belong to what part of the sentence. Especially when the expression contains function words like "of".
However, I'm a fan of just making multiple words into compound words, like bumblebee. That doesn't work well with something like lineofsight, though.
As a side note, I wish we would bring back the diaeresis in favor of hyphens in words like co-op. It used to be coöp, and that is so much more fun. Or words like reëlect. Even when it's not abbreviated, the diaeresis makes it more obvious to readers how coöperative is pronounced. Or any other time where two vowels in a row are pronounced separately.
Of course it's not! What did you expect, someone to post a 300 DPI image on the internet so you can print it at home?
The average movie poster is 27x40". At 300 DPI, thats 97 megapixels! You expected someone on Lemmy to post a 97 megapixel image?
And since that's not what you got, you call it "10 pixels"? You sound like a spoiled child.
It's even worse than I thought. I thought your Lemmy client was having issues, or your web browser. Turns out you have ridiculous demands.
