I remember opening HyperCard on our Mac a couple of times when I was a kid. I didn’t know what I was doing and couldn’t really figure out what it was for.

Sounds just like Tim Heidecker’s dad

It sounds like you have confused the word “fact” for an opinion or point of view.

I can keep going too. How many Internets, flying vehicles, automobiles, and solid-state electronics have your countries invented before the brains of the USA did?

If you want to call all Americans stupid you’re going to have to ignore a huge amount of contributions to the world’s status quo.

That’s not supported by any fact that I’m aware of.

How many times has your country been to the moon by the way?

For the record a minority of Americans voted for orange hitler, about 23% of the total population.

The scroll duping was patched but there’s a similar one you can do with dropping item stacks into an empty container. Holding shift and dragging a multi-stack over to the container, clicking another item to dupe.

That’s technically true but the default experience would be a challenge for most noobs. It takes a bit of work to get apps for typical stuff, have to go get Fdroid and allow install from other sources etc

They have always had good hardware I think, but their firmware and apps went total shit years ago. I liked their old ones like the S5 and S4 that had notification LEDs and unlockable bootloaders for custom ROMs

Sounds like there should be a high demand for safe sex toys for men’s asses based on those stats. … How to normalize ass toys to a homophobic population is all that stands in the way of big ass profits.

Novels are also not made to teach people how to read, but reading them does help the reader practice their reading skills. Beside that point, Wikipedia is not hard to understand in the first place.

Yes, because here in the capitalist USA I am free to choose what phone and carrier I use, and what OS and software my phone have on them. The free market decided that I should have access to bootloader unlockable phones with open source OS and zero shitty Facebook apps spying on me.

Nope. Reading skills are improved by being challenged by complex language, and the effort required to learn new words to comprehend it. If the reader is interested in the content, they aren’t going to skip it. Dumbing things down only leads to dumbing things down.

For example, look at all the iPad kids who can’t use a computer for shit. Kids who grew up with computers HAD to learn the more complex interface of computers to be able to do the cool things they wanted to do on the computer. Now they don’t because they don’t have to. Therefore if you get everything dumbed down to 5th Grade reading level, that’s where the common denominator will settle. Overcoming that apathy requires a challenge to be a barrier to entry.

If people use AI to summarize passages of written words to be simpler for those with poor reading skills to be able to more easily comprehend the words, then how are those readers going to improve their poor reading skills?

Dumbing things down with AI isn’t going to make people smarter I bet. This seems like accelerating into Idiocracy

Protestors surrounded gestapo goon squads to make everything more difficult for them, while shouting “SHAME” and “GET THE FUCK OUT”

I’m not sure exactly what, but it should be something closer to what many brave Americans did in San Diego and Minneapolis recently. Giving out free tacos is better than nothing I guess, but it’s not the level of effort their responsibilities require in the moment.

But have you had to deal with the rebuild of one of those when a drive fails? It sucks waiting for a really long time wondering if another drive is going to fail causing complete data loss.

Yeah I would not touch RAID 5 in this day and age, it’s just not safe enough and there’s not much of an upside to it when SSDs of large capacity exist. RAID 1 mirror is fast enough with SSDs now, or you could go RAID 10 to amplify speed.

Good News! Cigarette Juice!
