Safari is one of the browser platforms we develop for, and honestly it doesn't deserve the hate. Jen Simmons is on fire with guiding Webkit and I can usually debug easier on Safari and Chrome than Firefox.
Chromium, IMHO as a web dev since 1996, is more the New Explorer than Safari, especially where typography is concerned.
Plus the new deal studios want really sucks: background actors to be scanned and paid for one day, and then their digital likenesses can be used forever. You’ll get paid once and never work again…god forbid your Q score is high; they’ll make your doppelgänger a star and leave you waiting tables.
I'm okay with a thicker phone but I'd be much happier with a new Mini - MagSafe, thick or whatever. The next phone possibly be the last phone I buy before I leap to an Apple Vision Air.
I have to say, I've never found the top of the phone "heavy", even when I had a gimbal. Started with an 8GB iPhone, then a 3GS, 5, 7, 11. Had car holders (first bouncing on windscreen and then clipped to an air vent) so I can see why MagSafe is cool - but it's not essential. It's just more convenient.
I sometimes think we all suffer from this pick-and-choose-itis, as if there's obviously some magical combination to this piece and that piece and a quick juggle of compromises, to get to a phone people can afford and use for many, many years. I still have a working original iPhone in its box, and the 7 is in a drawer along with the wife's 5s in case our 11s fail (so far, not). I think the choices they've made have overall been good but also I trust them not to obliterate MagSafe without a plan. They want you to be satisfied enough that your current phone will never just be tossed.
I genuinely loved 2014 Godzilla - to me, it was the right balance of building a believable undercurrent of discovery and not showing too much until it’s time. The airport scene - when a panicked terminal is running from a monster and explosions and then, boom - dwarfing all that enters a foot. Holding that shot, letting the scale sink in - really great.
I don’t think people get how the camera has to be raised, to support the external lenses better so they never shift. So many creatives use the cameras for professional work so this is a carrot to them.
I first nuked my comments -- "Comment removed - No IPOs without APIs" -- and then let it sit there for a week. Right now I'm removing all my comments from all but 2 subreddits where I've been an admin (r/electricvehicles and r/vwid3owners). I'll likely leave the second as I started that and there's a lot of curated work there for new EV owners. Unsure about the first - it's gone from an open EV discussion to a US/Tesla party - most everything else gets downvoted and it sucks (admins are mostly North Americans and Tesla owner(s) and there's a clear bias).
My problem isn't only /u/spez, but how the race for growth and "engagement" has created petty little wars everywhere. So sick of it, I'm having a hard time getting the will to restart or engage here.
I wouldn't call it "sad" at all - each character has developed so they're much more self-aware, and some have developed goals which may not be what people expect. It's refreshing to see a comedy where characters aren't stuck in stereotypes but actually grow.
While they don’t get the same support, because they are so extreme, they get the most attention … in the press, in social media, in the general zeitgeist. They hover above all conversations and pollute downstream goal and choices.
I think it’s only once it gains mindset and traction does the forcers of Democracy kick into gear; the trick is to move democracy forward quickly before traction becomes entrenchment (like the Supreme Court).
Libertarianism, IMHO, has always been a sheeps-clothing for Authoritarianism. All it does is break it down to “the wants of the individual overriding society”, but winking & knowing full well it only works when individuals collect and work as a group. Libertarianism === Authoritarianism.
Edit: And this is why I don’t like labels. You think you know what I said because I wanted to define your label.
Horseshoe Theory has many critics. I personally don’t think of it as elitism in the center and popularism at the ends. That’s not true - neither end is Popularist. These extremes just oppose whatever the democratic status quo is. They want extreme solutions and anyone who tries to moderate is labeled Elitist or Capitulant…both labels deny that most of us live in the center, trying to balance one sides wants with the other.
Same issue on a few other c's - maybe we need to add "_nonUS" or "_US" to lemmy/c names, or wait until Lemmy adds something like flairs.
