I dunno why, but I've always been fascinated by the twitchy, blank-eyed movements they make. Also, there are some fantastic high def videos of birds that my kiddo's cat loves to watch with me.

I often wonder, "Can't my web browser keep Alphabet better apprised of my personal life and interests?" Yes, it can! Finally, an ad company that 'gets me'.

I wonder if he's selling any mugshot coffee mugs.

One cool thing is that the comments are self documenting. I read the program earlier and it's quite clear what it does. Excellent accomplishment, dear colleague!

I hate to admit this, but I agree. My qualm isn't with the message that we ought to work less. That's smart. Why shouldn't we live in a society where we can have a fulfilling lifestyle without endless soul crushing work?

My qualm is with the wording. The implication is that one should consent to work, but really work is a fundamental truth. Take away the facade of society and all we have is our struggle to survive the elements and find food, i.e. work.

You can ZZ any time you like, but you can never leave.

I respectfully disagree. Vim is an excellent editor and is the centerpiece of my dev tools. Counting out the newer features in Neovim like language server and treesitter support, traditional Vim is still a powerful modal text editor with robust features like text objects, macros, sed-like search and replace, rich syntax highlighting, code folding, online help, endless customizability through scripting, and multiple ways to exit. It is an acquired taste though, and I understand it's not for everyone.

Not to worry my dear Wordpad coders: Neovim is a good alternative. One can always set wrap and the default font to Times New Roman.

aye

I've was doing the same until yesterday, then I found StreetComplete. Since then, it's so much easier to enter addresses. So much easier to add addresses while out walking than to carry a notepad or memorize numbers.

Great Sto'Vo'Kor! What a crossover!

One thing that exacerbates the problem is the values for gender and sex are reused. 'Male' can mean 'I identity as male gendered' or 'my chromosomes are XY' (choose one or both). If sex were consistently represented with different values (maybe as chromosomes XX, XY, others?), that might provide some clarity in good faith discussions. Finally, I'm not in medicine so YMMV.

Update: One thing I wanted to add: I also recognize that many discussions are 'not' in good faith and an informed participant will deliberately conflate the meanings of gender's and sex's values. Unfortunately, no recommendation can help a person whose mind is closed.

Edit: Added "Update". Adjusted original comment's casing.

It's pronounced 'Data'

Gosh he could smelt at least 100 items with that.

The usage described by small44 is an excellent way to use social media. Real life hobbies and interests bring personal fulfillment, and using social media as a tool for exploring those interests is smart, not dumb.

Well, double dumbass on you!

Excellent. He's had enough delays. Five months is more than enough time as he'll have had 3 years to prepare for a trial such as this.

I've avoided Microsoft for years, but recently I've been reducing my Google use. I'm still on Gmail, and Street View is special, but I've been slowly replacing Google utilization:

• Search: Duck Duck Go
• Maps: Open Street Map, OsmAnd
• Drive: Extra Hard Drives
• Chrome: Firefox
• Home: Home Assistant (WIP)

Upcoming projects include replacing my phone's Google-built Android image and transitioning to ProtonMail.

It's not one big project, it's lots of projects. It's worthwhile, though. Along the way, I've reconnected with my love of good tech and I've gained new hobbies like privacy and contributing to OSM.

Georgia on my mind
