Gonna be hard to move to Amazonia if all you’ve got in terms of money are Zuckbucks.

Paper boarding tickets and having someone who works for an airline actually be able to help you directly when something goes wrong.

Per the description, where in the region you are born is based on birth rates. That drastically lowers the odds of being born in the water basically everywhere.

Or set the public instance to public discussion about women’s stuff and set up a private instance with a women’s only application process that is advertised on the public instance.

There’s value in women’s only spaces, and there’s value in spaces for fathers, husbands, brothers, boyfriends, and sons to ask about women’s stuff. By arranging the communities as described they can keep discoverability, exclusivity, AND can stop getting forbidden comments from the public on their public forum.

If the community is private you might have a point, but there are very public women’s only communities on this platform who’s conversations show up in the aggregate feeds–that’s not just “conversing amongst themselves.”

Is this about the public community, Women’s stuff, federated on the public fediverse who’s posts get aggregated to the public all feed and which is accessed by a diverse set of software solutions that may or may not force the community rules to be visible before viewing post content?

I try not to engage cause I know about the community, but golly, I can’t imagine how a man might stumble upon that and interact.

My family always told me that I’d grow more conservative and want a family of my own as I grow older.

As I aged I went from ambivalence toward politics and kids to decidedly anti-conservative and anti-kid.

You know your own feelings on the matter more than your family does, and letting your family dictate how you live your life will lead to resentment and misery.

A button to toggle is good design, but it should just default to your system preferences.

That was my proposed alternative I encouraged my friends to call about. I don’t know how it wasn’t obvious that if your goal was to increase pedestrian safety and encourage visiting your park in the middle of downtown (which was the public justification in the survey) that the best way to do that would be to get rid of the 2 highways trisecting your park. Grass them over to both remove traffic and increase park space, install meandering leisure paths through a history walk, and have local Coloradoan artists produce for a dedicated Coloradoan history sculpture park.

Oh, and if you really, really want members of the public to use your public park get rid of the helicopter parent rangers that yell at you for touching the oldest tree in Denver or for falling asleep, get rid of the signs that forbid standing still or loitering (at a fucking park of all places), and don’t close off the grass areas periodically.

You could even go so far as to install more trash cans or make the bathrooms available 24/7.

It’s not that the public didn’t care about your fake liberty bell, it’s that your park is kinda a hostile environment with shitty infrastructure.

There are so many cases where you must be able to use an item to determine its suitability. If brands and vendors don’t facilitate that prior to sale then I have no way to test it without buying it first. Vendors take a gamble then if the product works for me. If it doesn’t, well that’s the cost of doing business. They make money enough for purchasing wares, paying utilities, rent, and salaries, covering logistical overhead, and turning profit all from the sale of their goods. There’s no reason consumers should have to subsidize one of their risks through a special medium beyond the sale of product.

If a company doesn’t like that then they can adopt consumer friendly protections like permitting trying on clothes, test driving a car or having a tool rental option prior to sale.

But if I:

• buy a phone and realize only when I get home that the brilliant engineers forgot to allow me to set a background image
• buy a new computer and realize only when I get home that despite them advertising it supports thunderbolt it won’t actually work with my thunderbolt accessories and can’t support 3 external displays
• buy a new mouse that is enclosed in a sealed cardboard box that doesn’t permit checking the ergonomics only to realize it doesn’t work well
• buy a pair of headphones only to realize they sound bad/creak when worn/have terrible cable noise
• buy an oil filter wrench and realize I can’t fit it and my hand at the same time on the access port

Well, then, they can process a return.

That labor should be paid from the profits of goods sold and not returned–just like every other liability.

No. When you enable 2FA Google gives you about 10 backup codes that will always work regardless of if you have access to your authenticator app.

If you signal in turn lanes or while switching lanes when no one is around you’ll build healthy habits of using your signal in all other appropriate times.

Signal every time you plan to deviate from your current lane of travel.

Also FFS, signal before you start to merge so that people know what the fuck you’re doing. Too many times I’ve ridden with people that got upset when no one is “letting them in” and they haven’t even bothered to tell people they want in.

I’m pretty sure they were just pointing out that bottled water is also way more expensive than its component parts–they were not proposing that they were the same thing.

I believe they just freshly painted a pole that was formerly graffitied. They’re joking about the inevitability of some drunk with a silver sharpie drawing anatomy on the pillar soon.

Phone’s a real camera. The best camera is the one you’ve got and use. Take shots, enjoy the process, and have fun.

If you only have 10 minutes left on a break you can save the half hour read till later.

I’m American, fwiw. Formally I say “double you,” informally I say “dub.”

It depends on your jurisdiction, distribution platform, and the AI you use.

In the US and distributing on Steam you can use AI assets, but you do need to indicate your use of AI.

Keep a couple of things in mind though:

• Your future customers may not appreciate that you used AI and you will get downvoted reviews solely because you opted for AI
• You’ll likely have a better result making as much as you can yourself and using AI to fill in the gaps (i.e. if you have an interior scene, make the models and lay stuff out and maybe only use AI for a picture hanging on the wall or a coach fabric material–things that are inconsequential to the actual game play).

Overall, I’d say if the supplemental use of AI during development is the difference between you finishing and publishing a game and you not, then sure–go ahead and use it, but make clear to prospective buyers how it was used and be prepared for blowback.

At some point the electrical signal has to be clear at a hardware level. Companies can make it harder, but if they’re streaming any info to a device in your possession someone will be able to extract that clean electrical signal and reproduce an acceptable feed.
