No machine can read my chicken scratches! Or human, for that matter. Including myself.
In all seriousness, this sounds intriguing but I couldn’t tell you what I’d use it for. When I write with a pen it’s usually a couple quick basic notes. Anything more involved and my typing skills are way better
$30 billion company want**'**s
twitch
Also, they should be clear that it’s $5 per month
This but unironically
I would like to see that happen. That said, my understanding is that TikTok’s data collection is enough to make other social media platforms blush (at least, it was once upon a time. They probably made it worse since then). That, coupled with China not exactly being the US’s bestie, makes me feel this is at least a start.
Sorry, but if you’re capable of signing a $44 billion contract and the other party has a reasonable expectation that you’ll be able to produce that $44 billion, you’re capable of doing the same steps as someone who wasn’t “joking”. There is no “lol jk” exceptions in contracts.
And honestly, with everything he’s doing now with Xitter and influencing public policy, I believe he knew exactly what he was doing and the “joke” and “uh oh I didn’t mean it!” was part of that
Zelensky added that “for those soldiers who do not wish to return” to North Korea, “there may be other options available.” He did not provide further details
Most likely, “Who? Huh, he must be dead”
Even my absolute worst job, which had a total dump of an office, had free coffee (later found out another location across the country did not, while the main office was in a fairly nice office tower with good lighting, free coffee, and a nap room)
I bet you have opinions about that xkcd comic
This is what I’m referring to in case you’re one of today’s lucky 10,000
It’s a grapefruit x mandarin hybrid. We’ve been cross-breeding species for, well, ever. Some foods you’re familiar with may be hybrids and you don’t even realize it
I am friends with nobody here, even if someone was sympathetic.
I am, in fact, a programmer (old enough to have not learned any language as a child) and am well-aware that “!” means not in many languages. I also have enough self-awareness to realize that not everyone would make that connection, and figured someone may have hit the symbol button on their phone keyboard instead of shift and hit “!” instead of “A”. Somehow that seemed more plausible than “assume everyone knows programming syntax, even in a place like Lemmy, and choose to use that”
Fun fact: my job has made me dabble in a system so old and archaic, it uses “'” (single-quote, to save you a squint) as the “not” operator. “!” is used for newline.
Wat? I made one comment replying to one word in which a letter was replaced with an exclamation point. I wanted to be sure I didn’t misunderstand anything before I said too much. Where did I claim to be smarter than anyone, and what evidence did I make to the contrary?
If that was a typo for America, and you are trying to say you’re American, you’ve got at least one thing in a prior comment that’s a dead giveaway that you are not.
Also, how many different ways can we record a podcast with people in other places without being there physically? Even the official story screams “publicity stunt”
For sure. And Elon would just shit talk the aliens, pass along misinformation about them on Xitter, and we’d get zapped after finding it it was possible when we first learned of them.
We went from first flight to landing on the moon in less than 70 years, and are worlds ahead of where we were then. I totally get that we wouldn’t be able to leave tomorrow, but in the “could be minutes, could be centuries” scenario it’s hard to imagine the answer being more than 70 years starting now, and that’s what I’m curious about
One thing I’ve always wondered: let’s say we NEEDED to go to the moon right away, even if it meant taking a few safety shortcuts. Like, aliens landed there and demanded a face-to-face meeting before they destroy our planet and we don’t know how long they’ll wait for us (could be minutes, could be centuries, but who wants to find out?)… What’s the fastest we could, in theory, get there?
Lycos.
I mean, it’s not like people would check that dedicated webpage on their own, and they are less likely to click on that webpage to get the additional details. Just put it on the platform most people are using and don’t add extra steps to see what’s needed.
If they’re looking to Xitter it could be copy/pasted instead, but then updates get harder to manage.
Despite your best efforts, you’re right!
