I did that to my old boss weekly. This guy was dense.

A swing and a miss.

I just bought a new car and it has internet enabled remote start. The salesman touted the feature. My response: “oh so I can start the car in [one state] while I’m in [another state] so it’s ready for me when I get back?” He didn’t have a good response for that. Nice car, dumbass feature.

I like the subtle windows logo in the bin for windows ME.

That’s a fucking delicious 33 years.

I use xournal++ for notes and math stuff. Have looked at rnote as well but haven’t really dove in and tried it thoroughly.

I was only responding to the screenshot as posted above.

Difference: you’re paying for what you eat at a restaurant, you deserve a good meal.

Lemmy is free and doesn’t owe any of its users shit. Being a dick to someone trying to make the place better (through “feedback”) doesn’t help anyone here.

Agree with the mod here. The user complains without offering ideas. Sure, the comment was “criticism” but it’s far from constructive or useful.

One example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliad?wprov=sfla1

Yes, you’ll make the argument that the available versions of it are not perfect representations, though that is only because the language and dialect used to produce the work had been lost, the work otherwise remains intact.

Text is a digital format because you have a limited set of characters to represent sounds/syllables. For example: the meaning of the letter ‘B’ doesn’t change if a small piece of the letter is missing or if the letter is slightly tilted, it’s still a ‘B’. If the format was analog, those changes would also change the sound/meaning of the word.

The analog storage you are referring to from thousands of years ago has degraded substantially since its creation. Yes it’s still useful but I wouldn’t use that as evidence it’s a better medium. Case in point: texts (a digital storage form) from thousands of years ago can be retransacribed to be exact copies of the original (with respect to the knowledge contained within of course) whereas paintings from the Renaissance have changed dramatically due to aging and can never be returned to their original form since the needed data is lost.

I was on the same bus!

My son (6 at the time) and I built this set a few years ago, using the LEGO app on his tablet for the instructions. After completing it, we were asked to do a survey about the set… Sure why not.

What was your favorite part about this build?

The butthole

Except the possibility to keep the current price is no longer available, therefore, the consumer does not have the option to continue paying the same price, ergo TMobile forced the customer to change the price they pay, either to a higher amount for the same contact or to 0 for no contact. The original advertisement stated that TMobile would never change the price a customer pays, but it directly forcing this change by not offering the same contact.

That is indeed plank

Take a minute and rethink this comment.

I did read this.

I remember that day well. That was a sad day.

Well fuck, since you put it that way, we should just give the fuck up! My next vehicle is going to be a massive SUV, with 10 mpg!

Like I said: generous. You are "guess"ing that what they are doing with it is above board. I’m not that trusting of corporations.

People trusted Boeing would put planes together with the utmost concern for safety… Then a fucking for feel off mid-flight.
