I've been using LO pretty much constantly for the last two years (even wrote a novel on it). Like any interface, it just takes time to become familiar. In fact, I like the way Writer organizes styles and style configuration far better than Word, and often, even for DOCX files, do initial style set up and layout in Writer and then move to Word if I have to (which is seldom enough).
LO is a damned good office system. Its default UI is older, but since I used MS-Edit and Word pretty extensively back in the 1990s, it feels familiar to me. There is a ribbon interface, but I've only tried it a few times before remembering why it is I actually don't like the Word ribbon.
Fine. DVDs and Blue-ray. Regardless, the point stands. It's a physical medium you own.
I know there are people who will grumble and whine that DVDs are sooooooo outdated, but this is another example of why they are superior. You never have to worry someone else will take it away from you.
You bought it. You own it. Unless someone breaks into your home and takes it or your home burns down, it is yours forever. You can watch it as many times as you like whenever you want. You are not restricted to someone else's schedule. Nor do you have to worry about it breaking up because the signal got botched.
Further, DVDs don't change. No one can alter the movie with "new and improved" scenes or added "features". Han will always shoot first.
That Microsoft has told users there are no refunds is further justification why DVDs are better than streaming.
I've not followed the whole thread but perhaps the point is that the Bible is a bunch of inconsistent bullshit from thousands of years ago which has as much relevance to anything as the musical tone generated when a mosquito farts (or perhaps less) and whose sole purpose is to dismantle any tendency towards critical thinking exhibited by those who are exposed to it?
Google? Is this a new LLM ?
I've spotted a gap in the market - waterproof cigarettes. Drink and smoke at the same time. Alternating is so last century.
Smoking has fallen? Some TV shows have 95% of characters in 80% of scenes chain smoking. I suppose these two things are compatible - churn is perhaps higher than attrition due to death from cancer.
I'd love to know the CAC and CLV per smoker.
Then same applies to those who make movies, songs, and software.
Nope, no registration needed. Problem must be on your side.
"This isn't piracy. Nothing was stolen. The dollar amount is just pulled out of someone's ass because no sales were lost."
"Authors need to get paid for their work. Fuck LLMs and their piracy."
It's called business. Once the industrial revolution began, people are replacyed by machines at every opportunity.
Our local theater chain (Icon Cinemas, mostly New Mexico) has their large 'Iconic' screen (only about 1/3 of an IMAX screen). But for $2 more, it's worth it for seeing films like Superman or Sinners. These are about the only kind of films we head into town for. The rest of the time, yeah, nice 75" Sony, bought during 2020 superbowl sales (lucked out there) covers the rest of our movie times.
No IMAX options in the state; 6 hour drives to either Denver or Phoenix.
Wasn't aware the nationwide chains in the article also had larger screen options. Consistent branding would be helpful, at least in New Mexico.
I wish you humans would leave me alone.
