  • Because my ISP gets mad about torrents, I don’t usually rewatch things, I don’t have to wait for the download to finish, I can do it on my tablet, and I don’t want to deal with cleaning up old video files every time I need to make room for the next 100+GB game install.

  • Deletions have to propagate. Comments I deleted immediately after posting them still show up hours later for people on other instances. Archivers and crawlers have as many opportunities to record your deleted comment as there are lemmy instances federated to where you posted it.

  • Not a mistake, a demonstration and offer.

  • Yeah you’d have to perceive it as being lit from sunlight under shade, cloud cover, or possibly a skylight. I doubt it has much to do with an intuitive understanding of rayleigh scattering and more just that, in person, your brain would have more temporal context and a wider visual field to model the lighting with than what the image gives you. The floor and the ceiling would be blue in your peripheral and you’d have more angles and depth perception to work with so the distance between and relative strength of the yellow light and white light source would be more obvious.

  • its because the background gives the impression of bright yellow incandescent lighting but in order to see the dress as white gold you have to assume it's under entirely different (low diffuse white) lighting conditions than the rest of the image implies

  • So there were Americans who had the right skills and qualifications otherwise how would you be able to lay off anyone?

  • Woah that’s crazy how did you add the Kill Bill siren sound to your comment?

  • In revenge for reminding me of Frontpage I will also mention Dreamweaver. God just the memory of trying to clean up copy text someone edited in Frontpage is giving me nausea.

  • If you have any love for Hollow Knight you will probably enjoy Nine Sols.

  • Thanks, but the reason I don’t have to imagine is because that job is a memory.

  • People genuinely thought ColdFusion would allow untrained businessmen to make complex websites with no coding, only markup. It could generously be described as a “web framework”, and it was released in 1995.

  • Haha yeah… imagine… right.

  • There’s no gecko without Netscape either, but one of those isn’t around anymore.

  • firefox is not gecko, but yeah there is a depressing lack of viable alternatives

  • The situation is always more complicated than a single graph can represent. Which is why I'm taking this in consideration with other context, and it's solidifying my impression that Mozilla is failing and I need to find a firefox alternative before they shit it up further chasing money to pay their CEO a ridiculously inflated "market rate". What good is some theoretical increased profitability (they're a non-profit!) if all it does is serve to further inflate already inflated compensation packages?

  • Does it make sense for a CEO to be paid more while the business they manage dwindles?

  • Our society is structured so that the rich fail upwards, and Elon is a huge failure so he floats the best.

  • I haven’t heard a single peep of anyone getting paid by twitter since the first few checks went out. I don’t think he’s doing that anymore and it was always completely arbitrary who got paid (by which I mean it was only popular accounts that he liked).

  • Being a non profit doesn’t exclude you from getting investments. I’m sure the first on the scene leader of this wretched AI bullshit would have no trouble gathering whatever funding they need if they remained a non profit. The only thing this changes is how easily they can extract the profit from the business into private hands.
