  • You make a trade with someone from the actors guild.

    Banana for scale.

  • Now you're just being silly. Everyone knows that Linux is better than Winblow$$$ because all your programs are available from your app store, and can be installed with a few clicks. You never have to go hunting for random downloads again! 🙄

  • Because it's a scam, and they're trying to find as many victims as possible 👍

  • It is the upvote /downvote ratio. At the moment, your post has six upvotes and no downvotes, and you've got a 100% smiley face.

    In the Voyager settings you can toggle to view all votes or just the total 👍

  • Exactly this. I don't think I've ever heard someone say anything like goddamn shitbiscuit, and only heard things like god fucking dammit when they've had time to stop and think about it.

    It's much more likely for someone here to grunt or suck through their teeth, or maybe something short like shit.

  • If the people resisting them were somehow gaining from it, I could understand, even if I don't agree, but there are way too many people who resist just because they saw something on social media, and are too stupid and selfish to take the time to think it through.

  • Welsh person: no dryer?

    (For our foreign friends - it rains eight days a week here...)

  • 22 for me.

    When I was around 22 I was in the best shape of my life. Assuming that the prompt means going back to the same state, I'd take it with no hesitation. It was before I damaged both my shoulders and started putting on weight, and it was before the chronic illness I have had shown itself and caused a lot more problems for me.

    If it means that my body is reverted and not my mind, I could go to see my doctor and make sure that none of the damage happens, and be in a much better condition than I am now.

  • That's fair enough, especially as moving buildings can be quite complex.

    I have ADHD too, but for me getting started is the hard part. Once I get going, I generally find mapping to be quite relaxing. I usually stick to small projects, or ones that scratch that hyperfocus itch, but then don't go back to them for weeks 🙈

  • Have a look at your area on www.openstreetmap.org and see if anything is missing. You can add it to the map, and before too long, StreetComplete will have quests based on the new data.

    My area had roads but very few buildings, so now I get quests for the buildings I've added based on data that I couldn't see on the aerial map 🙂

  • I've just messaged you :)

  • Do you still want a code for Yes, Your Grace? I've got one here, and you've got first refusal :)

    I'm going out for a few hours soon, so might be slow sendng it to you, but I'll be back on here later :)

  • Also, one big problem with this is copyright

    It could work as a music sales service too though. Have software that matches the tracks in the playlist to tracks in your library, maybe with a confirmation / manual match dialogue, and a link to the equivalent of iTunes to buy any missing tracks.

    Give the option to buy albums too, so if someone sends you a playlist with a new Billie Eyelash single, for example, it could also recommend the album it's from.

    For those of us with large libraries, we just match the songs, but it's got the potential to make money for the artists too. I believe that Discogs and MusicPicard? can match tracks to albums, and link to artists stores, so at least part of the sales side exists already :)

  • I listened to an audiobook by Levar Burton a few days ago, and this sounds similar enough to his pattern of speech during the intro that I wouldn't have known there was anything unusual about the AI voice. If I'd heard it read a book, I would have just assumed that the pauses were a style choice.

  • I've got a Lexmark laser printer, and while there are cheaper subscription toners, you can pay the higher price for normal toner, and buy compatibles, for now at least.

  • I like the idea of it, but I wouldn't trust a camera from Xiaomi. I've got a Xiaomi Mi 10t Lite 5g phone, and the camera is a pain to use. There's about a 50/50 chance of a photo taken using the zoom to have random artifacts over the image. I've had some great photos ruined by it. It happened with my wife's Mi 10t Lite too, so it's not just my phone.

    They removed features from the software too. One of the reasons that I chose this phone was because it had a burst mode on the camera, and I had a young child. After the phone was out of warranty, one of the updates removed the burst function. It also resets the settings if you switch apps or lock the screen. I was using the star trails mode last night, and switched to an astrophotography app to check I was pointing the phone the right way, and when I switched back, the camera was back to the default settings. Not great if you want to use one of the other modes.

  • Maybe the board thought the CPU fan was cooked and it was preventing a boot for safety? I've never seen anything like that safety speaking, but I could believe it exists.

    I've owned and worked on computers that have that as a safety feature. If the CPU fan wasn't connected or wasn't working, they wouldn't boot. They would usually have a beep code to let you know, but that's assuming that there's a motherboard speaker and it's working.

    A shorted fan would probably trigger it, as they would usually use the third cable on the fan connector to measure the rpm and check that the fan was spinning 👍

  • I'll reply to a human, and they might reply back. Replying to a bot is just shouting into the wind. The bot isn't going to see it, and isn't going to respond. Even if it did respond, it would just be more nonsense.
