Why? If you can't write a title, what makes you think you can write an entire article?

Brother, we have wildly different definitions of "nowhere" if you get 5G. When I lived in a rural shithole in the US, I had to drive 100 miles to start picking up 5G signals (though that was just before the pandemic, so maybe 5G coverage has improved greatly in the past 3 years).

No it's not true, it doesn't suck, in fact it has improved the ergonomics a lot,

I'm missing something here. What does Mastodon have to do with ergonomics?

pig

pi g

The number pi, earth gravity 3.14..., ~9.8m/s²

Pig without 3.14 is 9.8

Most of those are the way I commonly hear, except I've always heard PNG pronounced "ping".

It's pronounced djinn-ohm, like Genome. It's a direct reference to magic, Buddhism, and the building blocks of life.

No, I pronounce them Lee-nukes and Lee-noose.

"Kiss yourself". Or maybe something similar, but more violent.

I love third party messaging apps. It's quite a bit more difficult to get every single extended family member on board. 2nd cousin I see at a family reunion every year or two? "Hit me up some time! Just install this app on your phone first and sign up for an account!"

I'll get on board with this one if all phone manufacturers start installing signal as their default messaging app.

Unnnng. You've put some thought into this. First week of October is perfect milfs-in-our-prime weather. Kids have been back in school for a few weeks? We're finally catching our breath, perfect time for a little "me-time" matinee.

Messaging interoperability between the two major mobile platforms greatly affects communication for those of us who have friends and family on the other platform. Cross-platform messaging allows us to communicate no matter which platform the friend or family member happened to buy. Blocking this feature is anti-competitive and detrimental to communication.

The entire purpose of government is to help make society better for all of its members. Some government representatives may decide that 'better for society' would be to allow the corporation to maximize profit even if it harms the consumer. This particular politician believes that society would benefit from this interoperability and that the company may be overstepping anti-competitive monopoly boundaries by blocking it.

Whether you agree with the idea or not, and whether it affects you personally or not is immaterial. It affects society at large and the government is supposed to represent members of its society.

It's nice that you either don't use SMS or all of your family/friends are on Android, or you simply don't have family/friends, but for the rest of us, we would like to send pictures to our grandma without her complaining that it's pixelated and tiny because she has an iPhone. It has been frustrating for years, but now that a solution has been realized, it seems anti-competitive that one of the vendors is now trying to block the fix. Regardless, even if this fix remains blocked, we do have hope that iOS will get RCS in the near future.

which is hard to do with suped-up autocomplete like ChatGPT at the moment.

You got a source for that, or is that just a gut feeling?

Didn't they basically take all the slow bits and rewrite them in not electron?

Honestly, I like both. I use whichever provides the biggest productivity multiplier. For example, I can navigate around the filesystem and manipulate text files and code extremely quickly in the terminal. On the flip side, I like to use a gui which allows me to spread 6-12 terminal windows across my multiple displays.

Aah, I understood it to be a teen tiktok thing in the past 5-10 years or so, when Millennials were already in our late 20s to early 40s. Wikipedia also calls it a Gen Z subculture, but again, I'm an outsider looking in, so I definitely get that Wikipedia may be wrong in this case.

I assume you're either 12 or dont belong to either culture and are just an outsider looking in. Emo and goth stem from entirely different music genres and share very little other than black eyeliner and dark fashion. But egirls seem to be something different entirely. Not my generation, so I'm observing from the outside as you were with emos and goths, but from what I can understand, egirls don't stem from musical roots. They're a gen-z fashion subculture that sprung up from the internet itself on micro-vlogging sites like tiktok.

Easy way to remember: an alligator's snout is rounded like the C in Crocodile, and a crocodile's snout is pointed like the A in Alligator.

Confusing to me? I'm not the one who made the impossibly vague claim. For that, you must seek answers within.

Hypothetically speaking, yes, of course! Real candidates that are better than Biden are ALSO better than Biden! We should actualize one or a few!

"Child Sexual Assault Material". An alternate name for "Child Porn" (CP).
