Being in receipt of a gift.

But yes, that pricing is bullshit.

I can’t imagine OneNote will ever disappear. It’s ingrained in a lot of businesses. The under-featured UWP app on the other hand is no loss.

Oh and not to question the professor’s expertise but you can’t blame the consumers for this one. Literally NOBODY asked for one of these pins.

“These products are designed based on the consumers’ desires and affordability,” said Berrin Tansel, professor of civil and environmental engineering at Florida International University.

Making them easier to recycle would require the cost of the material recovery process to be fronted by the manufacturer, making them more expensive, Tansel told Context.

This article is a bit of a mess. What the fuck does AI have to do with the amount of glue used in a device?

And why focus on a limited run from a failed product rather than the literal millions of successful wearable products like airpods that are equally hard to recycle?

Meanwhile, the use of the technology is only expected to grow.

Very insightful

The Discovery section in Pixelfed definitely needs work, but the ability to follow hashtags offsets that somewhat. I’ve found loads of great photographers to follow off the back of following hashtags that I’m interested in.

Without wanting to sound patronising, dating apps absolutely do work, but it’s the users that make them work. If your profile photos are shit, or your chat is uninteresting or unfunny, you’re not going to succeed.

I’m a middle-aged male divorcee who’d been off and on Tinder for about 4 years, and I’d describe myself as average-looking, but I met a number of women on it. Without the dating apps, my in-person shyness would have prevented me from meeting anyone. They were an absolute godsend for me.

I suppose, but he did start name-calling just because another developer had the audacity to start building their own fediverse photo sharing platform (Vernissage). Then apologised and removed the toot.

Bearing in mind the other developer also actually built a functioning and rather excellent third party Pixelfed app (Impressia) that he wrote because he got frustrated with the lack of development on the official Pixelfed app, and which was available on app stores years earlier, it seemed beyond unnecessary.

Weirdo

It means the dev can be a bit of a dick, and it’s not always a great look. “Darling” in this instance means “face of” or “icon”.

Yeah he’s definitely up himself, and highly prone to preschool outbursts on Mastodon. No doubt he deserves plaudits for ambition and talent, but a bit more humility and grace would do him good. I’ve cringed at a few of his (often retrospectively deleted) posts unnecessarily slagging off other devs.

That said, I’m extremely grateful for what he’s trying to do, and his genuine desire to expand the fediverse.

It has a certain gravitas

Pretty sure the most common birthday celebration date is 25th December.

Because cows calve calves

Yeah I think it was supposed to be considerably longer, but due to delays, loads of stuff was cut and the game’s story finished early.

As a Brit, I have to agree. So many of the skits that have been shared over the years are terrible, and I have to wonder if it’s a cultural divide.

On the other hand, the weekend update where the guys swap jokes is some of the best comedy I’ve seen.

Several

That’s why we take no chances and mow them down with blue light vehicles.

Police car repeatedly rams escaped calf

None of the messages that were sent to people have appeared in the chat history for that person. Except there are two new chats in her messages to people that she doesn’t know, containing only the rogue message.

Interestingly, her entire chat history with me has been wiped.
