Hmmm. Hard to say. A cop pulled me over for "Operating a motor vehicle without her phone number". Eventually, she agreed to only give me a DWS (Driving While Sexy). It feels like an abuse of power, but as she reminds me all the time, she's the one with the gun...
Variety. I want it all: dark, family-friendly, mainstream powers, niche ones, short one-shots, long compelling series. I want quality writing, casting, directing, filming, and editing. I want it to be good. Then I'll watch it...
Reddit became too corporate, blocked 3rd-party apps, restricted views that didn't align with their advertisers, sold user content to AI farms, etc. That's why I'm here. There will always be a place like Lemmy, where AI-generated content will be filtered through real, intelligent, moral, empathetic people. So we'll continue to block and analyze and filter as much of the churn as we can...
Without even visiting the article I can say with full confidence these contact lenses will not be opaque.
EDIT: We really don't have to go beyond the conceptual stage.
transparent: clear, all light goes through
translucent: clouded, some light goes through
opaque: wall, no light goes through
Yes, this includes ultraviolet light. If a contact lens is opaque, it blocks all light from passing through the eye's lens and cornea. It will never reach the retina to even be recognized as on or off! No opaque contact lens will ever be used. Please tell me if I'm wrong...
To be fair, I think they both existed as separate products first, before Mozilla bought them. I used both, but they should have never been integrated as a part of a browser...
Similarly, I used p2k (Pocket to Kindle). My use case was to clip things with Pocket, which would then automatically send them to my Kindle, where I prefer reading longer articles and books. Retroactively, kind of my fault for being an earlier adopter of a locked-down device like the Kindle from a massive corporation and never moving on from it...
Your 2nd point doesn't make any sense. Sure, you can spend the time returning things. If they're bad and you know they're bad. But what if they're just bad enough?
Take guitar pedals, for example. I know nothing about guitar pedals. I don't know the brands, I don't know the features I should look for, what they should cost, nothing. A company can purchase thousands, tens of thousands, or more fake reviews from a bot farm run by wage slaves. I might buy their subpar pedal based on the good review score. It's fine, it works well enough from my initial testing and doesn't die...
But what I wanted was to purchase one of the better ones, which the false reviews told me it was! I could have spent the same or less for a better product, that rewarded the company that made the superior product. And I might not even know it, at least until it's too late to return. That's (one of) the problems with how bad fake reviews have gotten.
I think it's a good tool. I also think people and companies learned how to circumvent it and avoid being too obvious. And that was before AI! Plus, Firefox (who I didn't even know owned it before today!) doesn't want to invest time/money into it in a perpetual arms race...
While I think this is a good thing, now there's only Dota 2, Valorant, Apex Legends, League of Legends, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Rainbow Six Siege, Rennsport, StarCraft II, Street Fighter 6, Counter Strike 2, Rocket League, Tekken 8, PUBG Battlegrounds, Call of Duty Warzone, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege X, Overwatch 2, PUBG Mobile, Rennsport, Honor of Kings, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, MLBB, Free Fire, EA Sports FC 25, Teamfight Tactics, Crossfire, and Chess with grandmasters left...
