1·1 day agoIt’s a challenge to find a case where it really is a Hollywood thing.
Do Americans really eat lunch and mingle outside in high school or is that a Hollywood thing?

2·8 days ago- most of it doesn’t affect you directly
- you have almost no direct input on major world or regional events which become headline news
Shit’s happening in the world. You can do nothing to stop it from happening. This is in stark contrast to everything else going on in your life.
5·11 days agoFolder is better. On disk, a folder is a list of pairs of a name and number, mapping the items in the folder to their location on the disk i.e. it’s a directory. The days before computerization are before my time, but, as I understand it, library index cards worked this way. You might have a card for each author which listed the books by that author with the location of the index card on that book, and you might have directory cards on subjects or keywords too, and the card on a book might point to the location of the book on the shelf and the card for the author, etc., or something like that. It would be most confusing to call these directory cards “foldersâ€. The computer does the same thing internally, but the user interface has hidden away any notion of directory. They’re logically folders. It’s only a directory if you’re writing a file system implementation.

They’re pushing passkeys because passkeys are a massive improvement over passwords. They would be negligent not to be pushing passkeys.

Like water. Because they stole what water you brought when you went through security. Damned thieving airports. Give me back my water. It’s not a bomb. I promise.
The first one has an awesome score by James Horner and will make any adult cry. The rest (a whopping 13 sequels) are cheap movies to put kids to sleep.
2·2 months agoWhat should just be a little plastic box containing ink has a tiny computer inside to prove to the printer it’s not counterfeit. All so that the manufacture can have their give-the-razor-for-free-sell-the-blades business model, enforced by the anti-circumvention part of copyright law.
