Just how many people, that aren’t Trump/Republican mouthpieces or geopolitical foes, really think Zelenskyy is the one who came off looking bad in that exchange?

Yet another ratings-topping embarrassing episode in this new season of America’s ‘great television’ show.

Shhh.

Now if the phoenix had a link to someone named Jones we’d really have something here.

You don’t. But you also don’t know it isn’t. And if there was chemical processing involved it could be.

And ‘boss Nox’ in SG-1

(Yes the character probably had a name. No I don’t remember it)

Thanks. I hate it.

Instead…

1. Have a shaded zone at the left of the brightness bar (which most people will have auto-managed).
2. If the user drags into this zone auto-brightness is suppressed and the user can select an amount of extra dim.
3. If the user drags out of this zone, and auto-brightness is enabled, allow to take over. Otherwise use the brightness at the users point of release.

No need for a magic setting. Brightness control is all in one place.

And of course they’ll stop at abortion right…

Pfft. He doesn’t plan to lead, or to serve. He plans to rule.

The New Zealand government is working to make smoking great again, cancer be damned…

After all, cancer is a problem for another administration.

(Several of the elected will probably be against a vaccine anyway)

Indeed they are - to a reserve here

Are they kidding.

This is slavery, not even indentured servitude, let alone a fair exchange of labour for compensation… There is no point at which the slave is released to make use of those skills.

Any and all skills gained are either used as tools by the owner, or as coping/survival mechanisms by the slave.

Slavery is, in all ways, an abhorrent exploitation and degradation of a human being.

That there is even the slightest tolerance for this curriculum change is appalling. Is Florida really so filled with the morally bankrupt and apathetic that this can pass without ending the careers of the contributors?

How can we ever expect greater progress on stamping out the ongoing modern forms of slavery, when things like this can make its way into the classroom.

I really hope this change is crushed before it reaches the ears of impressionable children. But the fact that it got this far means that this is the kind of thinking that too many already get at home.

We would. And we’d tend not to be using such verbose variable names. Avoiding abbreviation in the method and type-names is idiomatic though.

The Samsung 55" Oddity in ‘cockpit’ mode has you covered.

Essentially it boils down to - ways in which they can turn users into money.

• Control the content you see - Especially ads which provide income. Also injecting posts into your stream regardless of preferences to direct views towards sponsors preferences or to try to extend engagement.
• More visibility over user activity - It gives them better tools to manipulate users habits (that pesky engagement), and better (for them), user telemetry can be sold (people who like X like Y is useful knowledge but it can go far deeper than this).
• They want to discourage content that discourages advertisers - mostly this is NSFW content (since the advertisers don’t want their ads showing beside NSFW content) but I expect it’ll begin to span more than that over time.

With the elimination of third party apps, you can bet that ‘old Reddit’ is on the chopping-block soon too (mostly to boost ad views)

I poured way too much time into Rogue, Moria, Angband and Zangband back in the day… Sad to see Zangband completely disappeared - no idea if there’s a similar flavour floating around.

Played a couple of newer more graphical (and probably better balanced games) but I actually found them less engaging.

My son was madly into Shattered Pixel Dungeon for a while.
