Love my kobo libra h20, would highly recommend. Easy to sideload epubs with calibre.

Nah, because when I ask them for info they stare at their directory and have to randomly open files for 20 minutes until they land on the item of interest...

My files are all perfectly stored but it's impossible to enforce proper naming on your colleagues... No matter how clearly you spell it out they will always mess it up.

Honestly this is one I the reasons why I love Google sheets (controversial I know) as it has a built in version control system.

I have colleagues who have 20 copies of the same document with slight variations named like this in a folder. I honestly don't understand how they function at work.

This made me realise it would probably be trivially easy to make QR code stickers that first lead to a phishing page (please enter your payment details) followed by a link to a restaurants actual online ordering page.

Those restaurant ordering apps look so dodgy anyway I bet a quarter of people wouldn't suspect a thing.

Same. Stopped playing sea of thieves with friends as we were constantly ganked or chased for hours by kids screaming racial slurs.

Do yourself a favour and sideload Smarttubenext onto the chromecast. No more YouTube ads.

No save summing on dice rolls anymore though 😢

Just want to add that if you find a rare ebook not on libgen, do you civic duty and take the time to upload it, it only takes a few minutes and it's rewarding being able to save some time for others.

I could imagine it working well if you give different characters models trained on different data based on what they know as characters, but keep their responses railed to sections of dialogue that are more ambiguous or not key to the plot. Could really add to the depth of the world without compromising to much on cutting human written dialogue. But then again knowing game developers I doubt they'd use a nuanced approach.

I wonder if it's a switch in strategy, i.e. The ad block ban popup gives clear notification to the user to update their adblock but slowing the video load speeds without giving feedback might be a more effective in slowing the arms race.

People write regex in notepad and complain it doesn't work on the first try...

Another fucking stupid outlook thing is that you can only schedule send emails from the Web client, not the desktop app. If you try to do it on the desktop app it sits locally in your outbox and only sends if the PC holding the email is on. And if it's off when the scheduled time passes, the email just sits in the outbox. So incredibly stupid.

There are people in my workplace (which uses Gmail) who willingly use Outlook to access it then complain about Outlook problems. Outlook is the biggest piece of trash email client software I've ever used.

At one place I worked at, it was OBLITERATING any mails from one particular person because of a completely unrelated filter I had. Email notifications from them would appear for a few seconds, then the email would completely disappear (not even in deleted, or in any filter folders). Everyone else cced could see the emails except me, and IT couldn't figure it out. I had to disable ALL my filters which trashed my inbox with stupid work circulars. Fuck Outlook.

So many Google bootlickers in these threads these days

Anyone else thinks 10 cents is way too low of an incentive especially considering how expensive everything is these days? I feel like the real tipping point is somewhere between 30 to 40 cents if you want to really incentivise recycling.

People will just use it to perv on each other.

You do not wanna mess with narcissists though, it's not worth the trouble.
