Very true. I added context as you commented. I’m not putting you down for it. It’s the term that makes most sense. It’s just weird. Not wrong or dumb or stupid or anything else insulting. It’s just a weird term to use, even though it’s the one that makes most sense. I honestly meant no disrespect or offense. I actually like USA and its people (I mean, there are crazies everywhere, but they don’t define the rest of you). I genuinely apologize if I offended you. Seriously, mate, I meant no offense at all.
Edit: clarity
What shoes are those? Those are dope
To name a few:
Calling yourself Americans, after the entire dual continent. There are two continents and many other countries in the Americas, you know… [I know you know. And, what are you supposed to call yourselves, ‘USAians’? ‘Americans’ makes more sense and is easier to roll off the tongue. But it’s weird.]
Holding the door open for me. Smiling at me on the street. Those are sure signs of a swindler, but it’s the norm in the USA. [I am not suggesting USA folks are swindlers, only that those actions are what swindlers in much of the world use. USA people are generally super nice and a genuine pleasure to be around.]
Turning right on red light. Red means stop. It’s weird and confusing.
Edit: I added a third thing.

Because making calls and using a computer requires a specific lacale…
I agree. This was a shot to the past, when sites thought that people gave a crap about CSS magic, when, in reality, all we wanted was a usable site and not an art exhibit. This site seriously eroded my interest is buying the product at this time. If they can’t get this simple, basic thing right, what’s wrong with the actual product; what are they hiding behind the CSS art?
Depending on the job itself, this actually makes sense for legacy support. My job requires “passable experience with Windows 98SE, XP, and 2000”, but the network-facing computers are all 10 and 11.
Just visited the Viture website, and it is abysmal. Product looks cool though.
Edit: its endless scrolling reminds me of those websites about some “totally effective protection against RF radiation” that’s nothing more than a concrete block with a blinking LED.
Apple doesn’t have AI in their products. No. No. AI is lame, over hyped, and consistent under delivers, not even going to mention the ecological impact. They have Apple Intelligence, which… look, I know how it sounds, but Apple promises that it’s not AI.
Gotcha. Ok. This article makes a whole lot more sense now. Thank you!!
…Yet both Android and Apple phones use MEMS silicon for their devices, so why were only Apple phones affected? The answer, it seems, is because Apple recently defected from traditional quartz-based clocks in its phones in favor of clocks that are also made of MEMS silicon.
So, they ask the question of why iPhones are the only ones affected if androids also went to MEMS, then answer it by saying that apple went to MEMS. Are they saying that the clocks in Androids still use quartz, but iPhones use MEMS clocks, even though they both use general MEMS silicon?
Edit, autocorrect
It’s a dull knife. The only thing more dangerous than a sharp knife, is a dull one.
The license, even if it’s truly just to avoid rust (for whatever dumbass reason they have), is enough to me to hardpass on the entire project.
Oh good. We haven’t had a new ELE in about a year.
This looks great!
No judgement felt lol
Someone else called me out on it, too, and I decided to have fun with it instead of fixing it hahahaha if you can’t laugh at yourself…
If she’s well enough to consent to this, have her consent. Then install the cameras in such a way that her privacy is not eroded. For example, camera A only sees the door into the room, camera B only sees the night stand, camera C only sees the wardrobe. That sort of thing. Then instruct her to always keep her valuables in a location where at least one camera can monitor.
Mainly, this is because I was writing official docs, then took a quick Lemmy break, but my brain stayed “official” hahahahaha that’s all. ‘they’ should absolutely be used in this colloquial context.
Is it? I just thought they were proud of their state. Honestly, I don’t blame them. It’s nice being in love with your state. I always thought that was cool.
