I like the big search bar in the middle of my screen

That’s a great question. I couldn’t find anything online, presumably because it just happened.

It might be regional.

Yeah, I hope so. Them buying an advertising company and then pulling this shit has got me feeling paranoid.

Are you implying Mozilla paid AccuWeather to have placement on it’s browser?

No, AccuWeather paid Mozilla. Mozilla sold the data to AccuWeather. Mozilla made money.

No, sponsored in this context means that AccuWeather paid Mozilla to put their little widget on everyone’s New Tab screen.

The amount of pixels doesn’t matter if the amount of information is too low. The latter is harder to quantify in a way that doesn’t make you account for the actual compressibility of the data, so people try to maximize pixels for advertising while minimizing the real amount of data to save money.

Seems like a reasonable streaming service should add an option to manually make a video buffer more so that people intending to watch it after it buffers can, but reasonable streaming services don’t seem to exist anymore.

I was just woken up by a leaf blower again. I feel ya.

I can see why you’d prefer braces in that case. I actually personally prefer {} over indentation as a matter of opinion, I just see them both as working fine 99% of the time. I’d also definitely take whitespace over some shenanigans like start/end to define scopes.

I don’t understand why people complain about their Python code breaking because it relies on indentation instead of explicit {} syntax. I’ve never had an issue with it and it’s not just because I’m used to it because Python is the only language I use that relies on whitespace like that. I think the complainers just don’t know how to indent properly, which makes me really glad they’re writing in a language that forces them to instead of pushing unreadable garbage in other languages.

That sounds too completely absurd to be real, which is why I believe it. Yikes.

I think you’re giving humans too much credit. If our future ends up going down that path, the people raking in profits will never give up their power and the government won’t force them. Mass surveillance will make any resistance effort futile.

We need to make it illegal to charge different people different amounts of money for the same service based on any criteria other than a poverty discount and a senior discount.

It’s because what happens post-singularity is dramatic and flashy, but what’s happening now is depressing and boring. AI is being used and will continue to be used to oppress people and extract as much value from them as possible, but post-singularity AI might launch all the nukes!

In all likelihood, post-singularity AI will probably just do what current AI does to screw people over, but even better.

It really depends on what content you want. If you like news and memes, Lemmy is the place to go. If you have a niche interest, there’s no hope.

Idk the context of whatever the complaint is, but I just want to point out that people’s noses always look way bigger when you take closeup photos of them. It’s because the nose protrudes out from the face, so from a normal distance it’s just a little bit closer to the camera, but from close up the proportional distance difference and therefore apparent visual size of the nose is massive. If your nose looks big in a photo, re-take it from further away.

Yeah, everything will look cyan if the projector can’t put out red.
