I mean he's not wrong about paper being more secure than password manager (provided you have good physical security and trust the people you live with)
It's a shame that in the age of the internet, we still sometimes have to buy physical in order to actually own things. I like buying CD's for music that I really really like, but most of the time I just get a digital copy from Bandcamp. It's cheaper and doesn't clutter up my house. It's a shame that there's nothing like bandcamp for movies (at least as far as I know).
There's something so on-the-nose about having "with ads" as part of a subscription tier's official name. For decades companies have been coming up with euphemisms for their low-cost services (e.g. "economy class" on airlines, "community edition" for freemium software). But now here we are with Disney pretty much saying "Go watch ads you poor bitch". It's the death of a euphemism. They're selling a crappy service, and they aren't afraid to say it.
The name of the subscription tier is "Disney+ Standard with Ads". So what is says is "Subscribe and get 7 days of [subscription] on us". "On us" in English slang means "we pay for it". So what the sentence means is "You will get to use a service called 'Disney+ Standard with Ads' for free for 7 days"
But yeah this is total word salad. It's like they're deliberately trying to weed out people with common sense and critical thinking abilities.
I can't tell which unit is more cursed: millihertz or meter hertz. Surely, anything that could be measured in millihertz is more natural to measure as a period, or as revolutions per minute or something, right?
EDIT: Also, TIL about dpt. Thanks!
A dioptre (British spelling) or diopter (American spelling), symbol dpt, is a unit of measurement with dimension of reciprocal length, equivalent to one reciprocal metre, 1 dpt = 1 m^−1.
I think if I was a woman and I saw that a potential mate's recommended was full of ndrew tint videos or similar, I would take it exactly as that: a red flag. Not an immediate condemnation but a sign that something MIGHT be wrong. It could be that they're watching the videos with a critical mindset, or the algorithm is just doing some wonky shit, but I would probe further just to make sure that they aren't a raging misogynist
I've heard that kWh/1000h is used as a power rating for light bulbs, because if they just wrote it as watts, people might confuse it with a brightness rating (e.g. "this LED bulb produces as much light as a 100W incandescent bulb")
I’d rather live in a world where corporations are financially incentivised to pay lip service to LGBT rights and issues than financially disincentivised.
Good point. Maybe it's good to see advertising not as a force of its own, but as an indicator of a culture's values? Companies have been co-opting culture for marketing purposes for a really long time, and the fact that now they're doing it with LGBT+ culture just shows that it's no longer as stigmatized as it used to be
Hmmm I think I remember seeing something similar at an airport once. I think it's a good example of a company using their platform to spread a positive message.
Yeah, normalizing pride is a good thing. It's also pretty funny when chuds lose their shit over "companies going woke" and the like, so I guess it's not all bad.
Marginally better than using discord itself as your password manager (also a true story!)
