Wesa got a pink Chevrolet Corvette convertible. That’s why you no liking us, meesa thinks.

Swapping US technological control for Russian technological control? I don’t know to what extent the current solution is dependent, but it would be extremely naïve to just use OnlyOffice as-is.

That’s not the only factor in the die-out of the Neanderthals. Another is thought to be a massive reduction of the population and geographical constriction during the ice age, isolated communities afterwards resulting in little genetic variation, and thereby high susceptibility to disease.

Uh-oh – don’t they know that venerating statues will make them both evil and gay? 1 Romans:

²¹For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. ²²Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools ²³and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

²⁴Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. ²⁵They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

²⁶Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. ²⁷In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

²⁸Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. ²⁹They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, ³⁰slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; ³¹they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy.

I hate the idea of arguing in Musk’s favor, but Starlink use by Russians has generally been achieved by them obtaining foreign terminals.

I’m late to the party, but unsquished version:

I’m curious, what’s up with their roundabouts? Did a little searching on the web but only found some complaints about bad drivers.

The Crimean Goths stayed distinct and independent until 1475, and Visigoths were traditionally significant players in the 1492 Reconquista that expelled the Moors from the Iberian peninsula.

I and my eighteen diverse friends bought rings from Maria on the basis that they were exclusive limited-edition rings, but we were all of us deceived.

Holy shit, I wish most contractors were like you. My house is a total mess of completely unmaintainable pipes and wiring.

I have internal pipes against an outside wall that I’d need to remove plumbing and sleeves to get to, and they’re not lagged. I also have a shower drain with an upward angle (and pressure on the join) that drips slowly, and I’ll need to rip out half the shower to fix it.

My town in the UK had an extensive tram/trolley system around the turn of the century, but it was a private enterprise and not very popular. The trams were extremely noisy, the overhead cables were sprawling, and the tracks invaded space that was previously safely available to pedestrians.

When buses became viable, it all got ripped out.

That’s what surprised me; I assumed it was beneficial to the gut biome, but it’s baked dead. Maybe there’s nutritional benefit?

As it happens, the person you replied to isn’t on Lemmy – nord.pub is running Piefed 1.7.0.

The article touches on a bunch of valid points, but re the headline, I don’t really think that a failure to generate excitement about AI integration into Windows 11 is because they missed the boat. It’s because they’re shoehorning it into places it doesn’t belong.

They have the ability to make it useful. Ethical concerns aside, GitHub Copilot is as good as any AI development assistant, and better than most. Hopes that they’d gain ground with Bing would have needed them to be way ahead of the curve (and for AI search result summaries to be more useful than the top results, which they rarely are).

But for Copilot to be useful in the desktop environment, it needs to be there quietly in the places it’s needed. Improve your help tools, make Grammarly irrelevant, infer document context to make search better. Don’t rename half of your products “Copilot”, don’t put flashy buttons in every app, just use the benefits of applied AI to improve your products.

Oh, and make it optional, for fuck’s sake. If I don’t feel like I have control over my OS any more, I’m not likely to stick around when other options are available.

I think your client isn’t handling the markdown correctly. Link without markdown:

The imagery is still orthogonal, so you align things at street height with the map and ignore the roofs of buildings, etc. If you’re lucky, you’ll be working in an area that has cadastral maps with canonical alignment, so it’s easy to precisely adjust your aerial imagery.

Yeah, “perfect” is the enemy of “good”, for sure! I just think the mindset should be that any addition is as good as it can be for the level of detail that it’s being created to.

Inaccuracy is a problem. Not adding the buttresses on a church is fine, for example, but failing to align the map or allow for parallax creates real issues and it would have been better to just create a node.

One person can draw a simple square over a building, even if the shape doesn’t really match, and only add the tag building=yes. Then someone else can spend the time to make the shape more accurate.

To counterpoint: one misdrawn and misaligned building is a breeze to improve, but a hundred can be a real nightmare. You can end up with surrounding infrastructure “corrected” to the misaligned buildings.

This misses your point, but I’ve always preferred light mode in bright environments and dark mode in dimmer environments, with literally the single exception of Discord, whose light mode is totally unusable despite a bunch of iterations.

“Light mode, you say? How about 1px wide fonts, a background so close to #fff as makes no difference, and contrasting elements with basically no contrast at all? IS THIS LIGHT ENOUGH FOR YOU?”
