There are a host of other deliberate annoyances Amazon has created to make sure the tablet is used for their purpose rather than your own.

Do you have some examples? Sounds both horrible and interesting.

Does moccamaster make percolators too? I’ve only seen their filter coffee makers.

Take my upvote. Seems like he wasn’t the only one in this thread with a short fuse 😁

before you say “fuck this, fuck you”

FTFY 🙂

At first I read SIMD bucks and I thought they must take optimizing code seriously.

Can you give an example how that would happen?

It’s the same way in Finnish.

Yes it does. I think it’s that way because it’s in locative case even though it doesn’t make the word itself look any different. English sort of has cases and doesn’t.

It works similarly in Latin. You don’t say ad domum. You only say domum.

If you happened to like one of your test bakings particularly then you couldn’t reproduce it as accurately unless your method is consistent enough. So you wouldn’t benefit that much if the test was success, I suppose. But I don’t really do much baking so I don’t know how difficult it is to get it right and how much it matters.

Why is this downvoted? They’re similar words and could be mixed up. Apparently it’s silicone.

I played it occasionally but, as you said, it wasn’t very interesting game for young children. I guess it was interesting only subconsciously (the vivid dreams I mentioned in the other comment). Maybe it would have been fun game if I were an adult at the time.

We didn’t really have arcade in our town but there were some coin-operated games around. I think it wasn’t very long period of time they had Polybius but I remember playing it occasionally during that time. I was quite young so I didn’t fully understand the gameplay and can’t really recall any elements of it anymore. Only thing I do remember is I used to have vivid dreams about it when I hadn’t played it for a while. That sort of made me interested to play it again every once in a while. Though I must have been terrible at that game so I don’t know why I even tried it that many times.

I didn’t really thought about it when they had changed the machine to different one. I would rather play the Street Fighter II or whatever they had put there instead because it was much easier game to understand. There have been occasional dreams I’ve had much later in my life about this game but other than that I don’t really think about it. Sometimes after having that kind of vivid dream I do think for a while that it would be nice to give it a try again but I don’t know if they have the game anywhere or if it’s possible to emulate via MAME.

I see people in this thread complaining about fake sugar and someone mentioned chewing gum with real sugar. I’m just wondering do they sell xylitol gum in America? I see no point in chewing gum if it’s not even healthy for teeth.

My hands aren’t particularly small either and I hate big phones. I like to use my phone with one hand most of the time so I need a small phone to hold it comfortably and to reach around the touch screen.

I’ve noticed even few millimeters of difference in width has great impact on how comfortable the phone is to use. Gesture navigation also helps and I think it was created out of necessity for bigger phones.

Moving to Lemmy made me realize how much time I wasted lurking on Reddit. I didn’t bother to participate because someone would have already said what I thought. Sometimes I could even read one thread for days because there was just so much to read.

But I don’t know if it’s good or bad if there are so many comments. Maybe it’s good if you learn something useful but I don’t think it’s that useful to read for days about random subject you don’t need. At least it’s a some form of entertainment. I think I just read less now that I’m on Lemmy.

Partial derivative

I don’t think there needs to be scale as the tag serves as an initial protection and should cover everything that’s NSFW. The viewer can see themselves whether it’s artistic nudity or pornography but the moment the post first comes up on their screen the tag ensures they and people around them don’t see it at that instant.

I don’t really post anything NSFW but I think it’s pretty simple criterion. Tag as NSFW if you wouldn’t like your boss see you looking at that post on your coffee break.

But of course you can’t really trust everyone to tag their posts properly and there are occasional spammers who leave the tag out on purpose. Also the app I use has bug in settings implementation so I don’t even use the NSFW filter anymore. That’s the reality in Lemmy. Just have to live with it.

Yes, the UI in Slack is more cryptic after the update. I had some difficulties with searching for messages in the new design. I think you can’t open the search results in context anymore IIRC. Also the change of color scheme. They didn’t even bother to change all the icons to match the new color or they just made the change so quickly they didn’t have time to.
