It doesn't solve a fundamental issue of style though. Is the government going to do this job 10 times? 20 times? A font exists and can be used, the question is do you want every product to look the same?
but when Musk does the exact same thing - he's an idiot and has no idea, according the lying legacy media......
Errr no. Musk hasn't done the same thing. The only thing he's been called out an idiot for are precisely the things he was doing that were idiotic. Many of those ideas have been reverted or in other ways found to be completely impractical by his own engineering teams.
No one called him an idiot because this first rockets failed, they called him an idiot for specific reasons, and the specific things he says (which largely have proven false especially in his timelines). Please don't show your overt fanboism like this in public, keep that shit for your bedroom.
who proposed Apple simply pull out of India, or criticised Apple for not following "local laws". Everyone seems to jump to some extreme end-point in every debate, completely forgetting that most such issues are sorted out one way or the other along the way.
Yes laws need to be obeyed, that doesn't mean you can't fight against them in the process, especially if you have the money to weather fines and start a legal battle in the process.
YouTube says the new feature was requested by users...
Google's motto was once: Don't be evil
YouTube's motto is now: Don't be honest
I'd imagine that Microsoft will "fix" this issue soon enough, by insuring that all future versions of Office and probably every new game or application gets published on the Microsoft Store requires Windows 11 as a minimum requirement.
That's what LibreOffice is for.
Nobody asked for this but legions of YT creators have been screaming for fairer moderation and an appeals process that works. Even more YT viewers have been asking for an end to the relentless onslaught of crappy AI-generated scam ads for obviously bogus "7 second health hacks", fake AC units, ridiculously ineffective heaters, pressure-washers, robot dogs that are just stuffed animals, etc, etc. Don't even get me started on AI-slop.
Last time I complained about a scam ad, @teamyoutube told me just to block it. Yeah, that's right, if I don't want to watch these obviously fake scam ads it's up to *me* to block them. But if I use an ad-blocker -- oh no, that's not allowed!
It seems that YT spends far too much time working on the "nice to haves" and nowhere near enough working on the "need to haves".
The future of user-generated VOD is not YouTube. Big changes are coming to that part of the market quite soon, lead by open-source software that supports self-hosting along with multiple access and monetization portals. Stay tuned, this will be big and YouTube will regret its infatuation with AI, short-form content and repurposed video from other media.
In the young groups I am around, Tattoos are considered passe', and not cool. As one young lady said, "In 40 years, we'll hear "Tattoos? Ewwww, my Grandma has them, they look gross" "
We don't need to guess and go out and talk to kids. The statistics can be looked up. Depending on studies GenZers are only about 10-20% behind Millenials. If you then look at the general distribution of *when* people get tattoos you can expect GenZ's percentage to increase further over time while Millennial's are unlikely to change from this point forward.
Anecdotes and soundbites are irrelevant.
The rest of us are allowed to have our opinions (and sometimes facts) about that.
Indeed, but when your opinions don't fit facts (such as the fact that 25% of millennials don't actually have a criminal record) just know you run the risk of having other people form the opinion that you're a judgmental arsehole.
You're funny, most people don't have tattoos. somewhat less than a third.
I'm not sure what your point is. My point is there's no significant differences between generations and Gen-Z also have plenty of tattoos. Is your point that 1/3rd of people is not a big number, and that 1/3rd of people have poor self-image? If so WOW.
My anecdote: The only people I know with tattoos are those with such good confidence in their self-image that they happily display their body as a canvas. Very much the opposite of what you say.
Before I hit submit I decided to see if there was any information as to your comment. Turns out this has been studied: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/a... and it turns out only 10% of tattooed people have body image problems. Doesn't really fit your view does it...
No why would I be triggered? I'm not a Gen-Zer, I just really like pointing out that you frequently say very stupid things.
That's insightful, what open source alternatives do you propose? There's hundreds for our alphabet, but there's fuck-all out there for Japanese / Chinese, many thanks to literally thousands of glyphs existing in the language.
Here's one character https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... just one of the several thousands which has more strokes than the entire Latin alphabet, Greek alphabet, including both lower case and upper case combined.
There's multiple orders of magnitude more complexity here with multiple orders of magnitude less demand for the work. It's just not a good target for open source.
Is it reasonable for a (chain of-) provider(s) to suddenly increase licensing costs? Surely the work has been done already.
To be clear it's not that they "increased" the cost, it's that they specifically eliminated a cheaper plan that the industry was relying on. Yes ultimately it's a distinction without a difference, but I really wonder why games specifically were getting a discount in the first place?

I had a chuckle at how close together these two posts are on the Slashdot front page.
The finest eloquence is that which gets things done.
