Curse words themselves don’t reduce the impact of a sentence on their own. Context is important.
I’ll try ask this in a different way: can you think of a time when a curse word seemed to fit the context of the point being made, or enhanced the impact, or felt powerful or eloquent? Can you remember and share the context of it?
Are you saying there’s never a time where a curse word is appropriate, mr_no_swearing?
You’re talking about a different issue. It just happens to feature a lot of cursing. But cursing itself does not make a remark less clever.
I agree that cursing is often used as a replacement for “um”. But you ever really appreciate someone who knows how and when to curse, with intention and as an infliction? It’s a joy to behold.
Vaginia.
According to the article, the owner who was sued stated in court:
when she was asked if she would accept a transgender woman as female if they had medically transitioned and were legally recognised as one, she “would not view that person as a woman”.
So it sounds like a case of the owner wanting to apply their own view without regard for how the law recognises gender in this day and age.
I’m the opposite too, for a different reason to you. I have Sonos home theatre (soundbar, sub, rear speakers) and Chromecast with Google TV hooked up to the TV. I control music on a pixel phone or pixel tablet through the Chromecast, Sonos kinda just hangs off on the edge of my ecosystem and I don’t think about it. I maybe use the app a few times a year.
But I get why if you just have a few speakers it would be a pain to use the app.
Yeah, that headline is atrocious. The reality of the situation is sensational enough, I’d argue dialling up the outrage actually diminishes the impact.
Elon sees himself as a truth teller discovering and interpreting information that is outside the mainstream, using his deep and savvy knowledge of the world to understand what is and isn’t important or relevant and using his platform to promote it. He thinks he’s the only person with the courage to speak the truth.
In reality he’s just the 2024 equivalent of a boomer forwarding stupid email chains from his inbox without the slightest inclination to confirm what he’s posting or ability to tell the real world from obvious fakery.
This got under my skin too.
That parasite constantly refers to user content and comments and as being the property or Reddit, and his schemes to generate profit off the back of that asset are almost always to the detriment of the user base who are keeping him in business.
Like all rich assholes, he’s got this expectation that everyone will deeply respect and admire his mission to enrich himself by exploiting whatever market he has access to.
Very well made point, imo.
The report shows 48 per cent find it hard to know what content is available and where, 70 per cent wish they could manage multiple subscriptions in one place and 73 per cent wish they could search and discover content across all their subscriptions in one place.
Streaming platforms make it hard to find their content outside of their apps because they don’t want to be a service, they want to be a destination. Just one of the many ways they are anti-consumer but expect they can demand premium pricing.
People want to pay a reasonable price for a reasonable service, and that’s increasingly no longer the case.
Using the terms “telemetry” and “spyware” interchangeably makes the former seem more nefarious and the latter less nefarious. I understand where you’re coming from but I wouldn’t want to see the term “spyware” diluted to include anonymised data about how users are using product features.
That’s not to say telemetry data is fine or that a company might claim to only use telemetry data isn’t actually using spyware.
From what I understand there is also a risk that pirated copies could count. It’s hard to see how Unity can effectively defend against it.
I just bought a ROG Ally.
There’s a lot of stupid stuff written/on you tube about it, but it’s great and clearly a notch up on the Steam Deck in most ways.
Same. I think they’re dropping notifications for Mlem today, which I think closes out the basic app functions. I think after that Memmy and Mlem are neck-and-neck.
He’s saying “we don’t need to listen to the community, they’ll get over it”. Again, completely tone deaf.
