It’s impossible to prove that anyone else or anything else exists. It’s also impossible to know whether my brain is deceiving me.

I think this depends what country you are from. Generally, most countries it’s the normal thing to be pleasant and show an interest in people. It actually helps you as well because being insular ultimately ends in loneliness.

But no one should pressurise you into doing something you don’t want.

I’d say companies THINK they will make more money. That might be true with big, complex software that can be sold as a service that people will use (Photoshop, Windows, Office etc) or services that offer a lot (like the original version of Netflix or Amazon Prime)

But it’s not true for things you can take or leave. (Such as most mobile apps which now have to really on sales to boost conversion rates from Free tier to subscription).

Then you also have the issue of a fragmented market so even previously successful services like Prime are looking to get more money by adding extra costs (eg Prime Video will have adverts from the summer unless you pay $40 extra per year as a new top up subscription)

So it’s more of a theoretical reliable income.

Remember fuel cells? One tiny drop would power your phone for a week.

Can I recommend Voyager? It’s actively developed and well supported.

Interestingly, Lemmy World has stayed on 0.18.5 (for the moment) which might give Liftoff! a little longer to update.

I think the problem with every survey I’ve seen is that it does something like

<20 20-30 30-45 45+

We do actually know quite a bit about the Internal Monologue and other forms of intrapersonal communication.

There isn’t one single use for it or benefit of it (in the same way water has many uses)

Its strength was in running the same operation on large sets of data rather than general purpose computing. So specialist hardware would need to be developed for real time input and a graphical display (which would need to be able to draw the screen from the data the Cray produced. )

I think a better comparison would be a modern GPU.

A Cray 1 could do approx 160,000,000 floating point operations per second. A modern GPU can do 1,600,000,000,000 per second.

If you are on iOS and you uninstall then the cache is deleted. So it wasn’t a cache issue.

I remember that post you were told what was happening.

Why do you think it’s a cache issue?

It wouldn’t get to the full amount of storage. Full storage or cache wouldn’t make it slow as it only gets what it needs from the cache.

What exactly will having lots of empty space do for you right now ?

You don’t need to worry about it on iOS. If storage (or memory) gets low then caches will automatically be cleared.

Most operating systems work like this. There’s no point in having gigabytes of free space when it could be put to work speeding up your app.

They don’t expose the controls to the cache either. Android does but it’s in a minority.

Interesting links to Three Body Problem there.

Not really

they are still quite large in 1.32.6 and the B and I seem bigger than the icons. Sorry for being picky.

You’ll need to explain what has happened. The screenshot doesn’t seem to show much.

That makes no sense. It’s been repeatedly tried and failed for very obvious reasons.

Technically it’s very very hard unless you spend so much it’s uneconomic and takes too long to develop.

Secondly, its investors who were scammed. Yes they could have done better due diligence but they were still scammed.

As far as I know, only HDPE is suitable for vinegar. Other types of plastic react with even a weak acid causing swelling/softening.

Why does bleach come in plastic containers ? Acids on the other hand (like vinegar) come in glass containers .
