This makes me doubt the author of the article’s credibility. What exactly is the “perfect resolution” of a hand painted piece of art?

High-enough that you can’t distinguish individual pixels with your eye. At least, that’s how Apple defines their retina displays; not sure if these guys are following the same standard for that terminology or not.

Someone please tell me more about this moth.

Tom Cruise also insists on doing literally insane stunts himself when even a relatively minor I jury could delay production for weeks/months putting everyone out of a job…

IIRC, Cruise had to basically create his own insurance agency because nobody else would open up a policy for him, due to exactly this reason.

Thumbnail definitely had me expecting something else.

So Roblox is the only of those companies that can handle proper region failover if us-east-1 shits the bed?

Either that, or the reports stopped coming in since it’s a school day.

How has your commitment to the Constitution and the founding principles of the United States inspired you to pursue this role within the Federal government? Provide a concrete example from professional, academic, or personal experience.

How would you help advance the President’s Executive Orders and policy priorities in this role? Identify one or two relevant Executive Orders or policy initiatives that are significant to you, and explain how you would help implement them if hired.

You can either have a commitment to the Constitution, or to the president’s unconstitutional EOs. Not both.

Why?

A lot of the affected services seem to be partially functional right now. It looks like the AWS network that went offline is one managing real-time analytics data, mostly.

What about this one?

It’s not necessarily about competition, it’s about visibility. If I create something and I want to share it with people, that means I want people to see it. It doesn’t necessarily mean “I want people to see this more than other posts”, just “I’d rather not be posting into the void”.

For instance, I make YouTube Shorts for a game I play. I don’t post them on Lemmy anymore, because the Lemmy community for the game only has 60 subscribers, most of whom aren’t even active accounts anymore. The highest-upvoted thread in the community has 47 votes, the second-highest only has 9. This translates to effectively nobody on Lemmy seeing the videos I made, because this small, slow-paced community’s posts get drowned out by everything else.

It’s a signal-to-noise issue. There are some smaller communities I’d like to keep an eye on, but the posts from those communities get drowned out by the more active ones. I miss a lot of posts that I would have liked to have seen because of this.

Then Brian Thompson gets shot. Literally the next day United Health Care announced they would not follow through on their previously announced ceasure of anestesia coverage. They would remain covering it. Why? Because the board of suits asked “Am I next?”

This is not an accurate description at all. It was delayed in only select states, but they still followed through with that change for a vast majority of states. The only policy change brought by Thompson’s death was that UHC execs hired better security details.

I usually just sorta hold my hands out in front of me and gesture like I’m describing a fish I caught.

Whatever you do, you shouldn’t accidentally spill saltwater on it. That could destroy a very expensive piece of spying equipment, and would be a terrible, tragic accident that could interfere with the advance of nazism.

Good idea! How do I get past the boarded-up doors, though?

If they promoted it on another FOSS platform, nobody would see it.

Metal Gear?!
