I'm curious what's the financial outcome here for the customers? I don't remember what Humane's price model for these pins was, and none of these articles are discussing it. For example... Eh I'll just look it up.
Oh my god it was $500-$700 up front plus a $25 monthly fee. That's just horrible; will the customers be getting refunds? [Looks it up] Nope.
You're welcome to hold that opinion but you can't claim it's supported by history; we've had political parties die and be replaced plenty of times before.
To be quite honest I never allowed my Kindle or my Kobo to go online and the experience is not that different. The build quality on the Kindle is a bit better superior and I might well go back. Calibre is the real hero of the story IMO.
I just got a Kobo color (don't recommend the color feature; no book is ever going to use it except the red-letter Bible and House of Leaves) and gifted the old Kindle to a friend. I e-reader is an awesome gift actually because for a lot of people it's something they would never evenly in years take a chance on, but that they would love it if they tried.
This has been making the rounds on line, but it turns out that this business merely grows cannabis at a former prison that's been repurposed; it's not being grown by the inmates.
I really wish journalists would write, for example, "they say that they want to return it to the mission" rather than "they want to". They do this with Trump all the time. ("he believes tariffs are a powerful tool" - the fuck he does)
This fucking article goes on 3 more paragraphs after that about how great the current offerings from Tesla are. Feels like the whole thing is just a Cybertruck sales puff piece in disguise.
The context that you're missing here is that puberty, especially the testosterone-fueled one, is consequential whereas delaying puberty is not. Also, your working concept of "what percentage of people are going to sign up for hormone replacement or gender-affirming surgery and then regret it later" is just not in line with reality. Regret does happen, of course, but it is rare.
Oh, Linux started being like that some 3 or 4 years ago for me. Of course, it depends to some extent on the actual games you want to play. Destiny 2 is apparently never gonna run.
On Windows, there used to be (possibly a third-party application) a desktop widget that had a "turtle", and if you clicked on the widget it would drop a little pixel of food, and the turtle would slowly walk over to it and consume it. I thought that was really cool.
They're not the same thing, though. If you use infantilizing language with people of one sex until they're 40, yeah, people are going to notice that and think it's weird. I used to have a ton of unexamined behaviors like that before I worked on it a fair amount, and yeah, I was pretty lonely back when...
He's gotten a bit less edgy over the years. Mostly in good ways.
