OP wrote mentally challenged, not mentally ill.

Maga cultists will just say things would somehow be worse if Dems were in power.

Bricks?

Complex is the opposite of simple.

Not compared to modern top end hardware, which is how the word is used in this context.

Yes. Some people, including women but more often men, will initiate a conversation in a way that puts the other person on the defense which prompts additional interaction. While saying “I haven’t seen you here before” could be an icebreaker while pushing buttons on an elevator at an apartment building saying it after rushing up and sitting down next to someone who is looking down is basically invading someone’s personal space when they weren’t ready and comes across as pressuring for a reaction.

I had the same thought at first until the last sentence that said how quickly he approached and sat down. If he came in slower, asked to sit next to her, and if she said yes he said the same thing it would be completely different. I’m a dude and I wouldn’t want someone rushing to sit down next to me and start a conversation when I was looking down at something.

The reverse thrusters redirect the air coming out in the opposite direction, so it is like turning the fan in the opposite direction.

A sail catches the air to pull the boat along and some of it bleeds off, but it does not direct any air backwards to propel the ship forward.

Sophisticated is commonly used as a comparison to other sinilar things. So a sophisticated computer in 1980 is different from one in 2026 because technology advanced significantly. A lot of common features on cell phones would have been called sophisticated 20 years ago, but not anymore.

In this case sophisticated is intended to mean relative to other similar devices. Since this is a commodity electronic device you can easily buy for under $13 it doesn’t fit the common usage of ‘sophisticated’ for 2026.

This is why modern media players try to find your media based on metadata, ignoring file structure.

Which is a nice option, but I geneally need a well presented visual way to find things too because I frequently forget the names due to ADHD. Visual reminders are great when I can’t think of the name.

I don’t get any shells when I crack it on a flat surface but do on an edge of anything. Learned that this was the case for me back in the 80s.
As long as it works it works.

Stuff can come across vastly differently between the original script and the final product.

If they didn’t find out Ben was involved until two weeks into shooting then he probably wasn’t initially involved or they hid his involvement. Reading the contract doesn’t help if they lie to you or change things after signing.

So far I have hopped because the instance shut down (kbin) and for a better user experience from lemmy to piefed.

If I had accidentally joined a tankie instance I would probably hop off once I found out.

First name ‘Not’, last name ‘Provided’. Can spell it if you want.

Then why would it be absurd for gamers to demand games without AI if the gamers don’t literally mean the older types of AI?

It’s even more absurd: There are gamers who demand computer games without AI. WTF?

They don’t want genAI slop for visuals, writing, and other creative things in games. They are using AI in the context of those things and even give examples about how AI upscaling of textures in game design looks shitty and don’t want voice actors to be replaced with fake voices. They still want human creative involvement front and center because all the llm/genai image stuff is just ripping off existing stuff in the worst ways.

They aren’t talking about pathing or gameplay ai that has been around forever because the term AI has been coopted by genAI and that is what they are referring to.

Wearing a tie in a workshop is like pointing a gun at other people at the shooting range. Never do it unless you want bad things to happen.

Having a loud beginning to the promos for other shows is just as annoying as loud ads for anything else. That fucking Stewart Saves the Universe or what the fuck it is called on HBO playing before everything I watched for weeks made me stop trying to watch anything until it switched to some other show.

Muppets Christmas Carol

It turns out Windows 11 was just a backed up septic system all along.

The ad is raising questions

The questions are “why didn’t anyone listen to people pointing out this obvious outcome years ago and make it illegal to do in this context”?
