Why is this a survey? A survey is a tool used to approximate the distribution of opinions held among a population. What this survey is attempting to measure is a detectable fact, though. It would be more appropriate to do a statistical analysis of actual grocery costs over time.
I don’t want thinner. I want more functionality. Don’t expect me to pay 2 grand for a laptop with no external USB or HDMI ports, for which privileges I can pay an additional $100 or so. I’m frustrated enough by the lack of Ethernet jacks on my Lenovo. The last time I had a Mac (work shipped me one), I was even more frustrated by how bad the built in trackpad and keyboard were and the fact that using an external device to replace them came at a premium price.
Embarrassingly late, as usual.
Biden needs campaign ads calling Trump out for passing unconstitutional anti-gun legislation.
The article quotes extensively from the study about this and gives examples regarding what kinds of tasks qualify for those levels.
There was a post here a while back about how younger generations often don’t understand concepts like file system structures because concepts like that (which are still relevant in a lot of contexts) have been largely stripped out of modern user interfaces. If your primary computing device is a cell phone, a task like “make a nested directory structure and move this file to the deepest part of it” is a foreign concept.
I guess my point here is that I agree with yours about this being cyclical in a sense. I feel crippled on a cell phone, but I’m also in my comfort zone on a Linux terminal. Using web apps like MS Teams is often difficult for me because their UIs are not things I’m comfortable with. I don’t tend to like default layouts and also tend to use advanced features which are usually hidden away behind a few menus. Tools built to meet my needs specifically would largely not meet the needs of most users. A Level 1 user would probably have a better experience there than a Level 3 like me. It’s hard (maybe impossible) to do UX design that satisfies everyone.
Been getting my Elden Ring game into position for the DLC.
Dolly Parton is the kind of saint the Catholic Church will never canonize.
We have One Particular Family who ran Trump and Tina Peters campaign yard signs for months back in the day, but who have conspicuously shut the fuck up since all the convictions and such. Their back yard butts up to public space where I plan on dropping at least one. I won’t mess with their private property, but I will put a flag down behind their house.
Yeesh. Colorado has a lot of rural space with a lot of folks who think like that. The borders between the liberal city/college types and the MAGA country types can be pretty thin.
I bought a bunch of little pride flags to stick in the ground around the neighborhood and a banner for my front yard when I saw this a couple days ago. Fortunately I live in a great city for queer folk, but you go just a mile north or east of here and it gets ugly pretty fast.
Primarily use my desktop (nothing beats a proper desk setup for Getting Shit Done) for work and gaming. I have a laptop that I use less frequently, but it’s an acceptable way to take work with me if I have to. It won’t play any games more graphically intense than Slay the Spire, but that’s not the point. I use my phone for Serious Business only when absolutely necessary. Anything short of a proper desktop setup feels like a crippled user experience, and phones are the most crippled experience of them all.
Thin crust, heavy sauce, mozz, pepperoni, jalapeno, pineapple.
This was done on The Other Site a while back. /r/proudboys got taken over and turned into a queer meme page.
Some of it is a fad that will go away. Like you indicated, we’re in the “Marketing throws everything at the wall” phase. Soon we’ll be in the “see what sticks” phase. That stuff will hang around and improve, but until we get there we get AI in all conceivable forms whether they’re a worthwhile use of technology or not.
We recently went through a nuke-n-pave on my kids desktops. I plugged in an external drive for them to do backups, and we walked through the process. This was in Fedora with pretty much default Gnome tools. They came away understanding the process and how to track it, but I think they still don’t really understand file organization.
The main argument from prosecution to this end was that the encounter happened in 2006 (ish, I might be off) but the hush money wasn’t an issue until the election campaign. Therefore, they argued, it was paid (and covered up with false business records) to influence the election.
IANAL, but I believe that is up to the judge’s discretion, as is the sentence itself.
I really dislike superhero movies in general, especially this non-stop Marvel/DC stuff, and a primary reason for that is the way they tend to go in and out of live action and animation. There’s an uncanny valley thing that happens in that transition, and you can obviously still tell that large portions of the live action stuff is shot on a greenscreen. It all looks fake as a result. My suspension of disbelief is shattered.
But when a movie like this admits it’s animated, things improve a lot. I watched the first Spiderverse movie the other day with my kid, and I absolutely loved the art style. I had other problems with the movie, but the visual style was not one of them. I wish there were more animated movies targeting older audiences with unique art direction like that.
