Those tricks are actually used pretty frequently in modern graphics stacks, especially around things with fine edges like text. In those cases it’s called “subpixel anti-aliasing”.

Noppeee. Very happy I switched to Linux. Despite how annoying all the hounding about it was, it’s galaxies better than the shitshow Windows 11 is becoming.

My guy, he’s making a pretty limited point and is agreeing with you. You’re strawmanning his comments to an absurd degree.

Yes. Growing a tree from sapling to a giant trunk removes significantly more carbon from the atmosphere than an existing trunk sitting there at mass, unable to store much more carbon.

And yes, that’s why I clarified that new trees would need to be planted, right on the money.

I mean, that’s the mechanism by which carbon is removed. It goes into tree, tree dies or gets cut down taking all the solidified carbon with it, new tree gets planted in its place to repeat the cycle. In fact, the fastest way to scrub carbon with the practice is to farm trees, assuming you do it sustainably.

You’ll love the flat and very sturdy design of the new hinges they introduced with the Fold 5. (This is the best phone I’ve ever had by miles.)

Stop trying to make “Blue MAGA” happen

I can confirm both Pixels and Samsung phones have that feature (1/2/4 hours or indefinite). On my current phone (Samsung) you get the option by holding the DND button.

Interesting that Squidward is only happy as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle

Something about the name seems like a joke

Ahh, New Zealand. Very similar to the rest of the English-speaking world, but introverted.

No, my phone went into SOS mode yesterday. No apps, just a button to call 911. And yes, if you lose a ticket, you can indeed miss a flight. Only tale I have for that is a colleague who lost their ticket and the time it took to look up their details put them past boarding, they were stranded at the terminal, but its still an actual risk you can’t wave away.

It takes 5 minutes to save an insane amount of stress and misfortune.

Leonardo De Lima, who works in technology, was on his way to Boston Logan International Airport around 5 a.m. for a business trip to Chicago when he realized his phone was in SOS mode. He initially thought it was a problem with his device, until he got to the Delta terminal and saw a lot of confused faces.

“I heard people talking about the outage, and everyone was lingering in the departure area because nobody could pull up their tickets on their phones,” the 32-year-old said. “I saw a lot of stress.”

It’s a pretty popular meme format, it’s not serious

Exact same here. Totally fine with showing the pass from my phone, prefer it even. But the stakes are too high to skip the 5 minutes it takes to print a paper copy. I can almost guarantee that everyone else is one close call/missed flight away from doing the same thing, too.

Interstellar marketing was pretty interesting, they basically told you nothing about the movie, but communicated the vibes of it well. I don’t think the first trailers even showed space, despite that being where the majority of the movie takes place.

Haha thanks you too

Oof, and there’s only ten lines of code, too. And they look very purposefully written out.

Same with proof-of-concept and piece-of-crap!

Kubernetes is fine because it’s easy to keep track of, it looks and pronounces similar to the real word.

O11y for “observability”, though, that one’s pretty rough. And people trying to make the pronunciation “ollie” make me see red.
