Just as a heads up, but if you did enjoy the Princess Bride, the book/Audio book “As You Wish” is legitimately delightful.

A good amount of the cast get together to talk about all the interesting things that went into making the movie.

Hence why I went with “simply charge for the OS”. They are moving from monetizing the software to monetizing the user.

But yes, red line must go up

It pretty much comes down to wanting to monetize the user experience instead of simply wanting to charge for the OS in the traditional way. The user becomes the commodity instead of the software.

I would have no problem if that popped up in my feed while I was in a public place.

That said, I don’t think it would be safe for work, so the nsfw would apply. But I would not be browsing Lemmy at work either.

That is a bit of a selection bias. What you are effectively saying is “the biblical names that have survived to today have staying power”.

But even that isn’t true here as almost all of the names you cite are significantly different now than their original forms. Looking at your list we have Yeshua, Shemuel, Mikael, Rivka, Yohanan, Miriam, and Paulus. Adam is mostly the same, as is David (with a bit of an accent difference), but the rest didn’t exactly emerge as they were.

Well it was about that time I realized this judge was about eight stories tall and was a crustacean from the plethazoic era.

Having been in the military, I find it hilarious and accept that it is not a place everyone should be. The recruiter likely has a very similar realistic understanding of where the military stands with people right now.

My power comes from the two sets of solar panels and batteries on my land. It is possible to do without fossil fuels. We’re not there yet for everyone, but the problems you point out are solvable, and if solar/EVs had the same amount of backing from the government over the same timeframe that gas/ICE cars have had, we would be in a very different place right now.

Alright, alright, alright.

It all falls under the same blanket concept of privacy rights, but yes monetizing user data is a more accurate sub category. It doesn’t truly matter what we call it as long as the discussion is being had.

It isn’t attempting to capture your personal data and sell it to ad companies like most social media platforms are though.

Well, I use mine to stream games over wifi and it works better when my pc is wired. Different situations require different set ups. That’s the beauty of having options.

It really depends on what you are doing and what you are expecting to get out of the experience. For instance, streaming a game from a gaming pc to a Steam Deck or other portable unit works best when the pc is wired to the network.

But that’s why you would put it near the router so you don’t have to use 100 ft of cable to do it, so meh.

The claim that was being refuted was that humans ate a diet that “pretty much only consisted of meat”. That is not the case despite the fact that our crops today are bred to be larger and more calorie dense. Humans did eat vegetable and fruit alongside meat in our ancient past.

Yes but there were and still are wild, edible fruit and vegetables. Humans were hunter gatherers. We have always eaten whatever we could get a hold of. We’re omnivores for a reason.

Just takes a lot of boredom and lots of muscle memory. Not hard, per se, but unrewarding until you’ve put more time into than you’d think. A lot of skills within a week or so, you should have some sort of improvement to show for it. Not so much with contact juggling.

But once you’ve gotten ok at it, it kinda looks like magic.

I got into contact juggling a decade or two ago. It is basically a form of juggling in which a clear or solid-colored ball stays in contact with your body to interesting effect. Think the Goblin King from the movie “Labyrinth”.

It is rare enough that you don’t meet many people that have seen it, and with enough of a learning curve that not many people that start ever really get anywhere with it.

The Cheat is grounded!

What do you use it for?

I will honestly have to look into it more. It seemed interesting, but I have not done a deep dive into how it works.
