Oh my goodness Light No Fire looks so good. I really hope they've learned the right lessons from No Man's Sky, because that trailer looked like everything I want from a game.

I agree with your point in general, but I have a hard time applying it here. Unless the lawsuit alleges that MM hacked into Twitter or doctored the screenshots, then the core claim of the MM report "Twitter served ad Y next to post Z" is not under dispute. If the claim is that refreshing a page is malicious, then I don't think we need to wait to call the lawsuit malicious.

This is a beautiful blog post and I recommend reading it. I never used Omegle, but I now understand what we've lost.

I don't think you're arguing in bad faith, but I'm not going to engage with that because I don't want to get lost in a semantic argument.

Have you ever been bullied before? When you were young, did kids ever call you names? It sucked, right? Even in kindergarten you were smart enough to be hurt by it.

Now, imagine the teacher started calling you mean names as well.

And your parents.

And everyone you love.

And now imagine that you tried to carve out a small part of your life where you weren't being called something horrible.

Wouldn't you have deserved that? Weren't you smart enough to know you didn't deserve to be called names?

I'm not sure that matters when the question is about whether children are eligible for human rights. Unfortunately, we live in a world where we put many children in danger by telling parents who their child is.

Higher Priority: Basic rights of the child

Lower Priority : Parent's access to the internal lives of another human

PineTime checks these boxes for under $30. The caveat being that it's an open source project without fancy features. Also, the heart rate monitor doesn't work well on my skin, but it works for some people.

I love my PineTime, but I stopped using it because I wanted sleep tracking.

I know, I know. It's complicated, and maybe impossible. A lot needs to change to make this easy, and I'm certainly in no position to revolutionize the French language.

I need to add French pronouns to my email signature. I don't necessarily need to use them, but ideally I could explain to someone how to use them in a sentence.

"Iel" isn't perfect, but it's the most popular right now. That's good enough for me.

I'm confused about the rest. Can anyone give me guidance on the most popular Iel equivalent of [il/le/lui] and [elle/la/elle]?

Is there a good website where I can see the pronouns in use, that isn't a style guide about pronouns?

Thanks for stopping by :)

The concept of pornographic memory is hilarious without bounds. Like, you experience moments normally, but the second you try to recall them everything is sexy and two-dimensional.

You go for an appointment and are upset that everyone isn't naked like you remember from last time.

You try to remember the steps for baking bread, and you can't figure out how you ever managed to do it without getting flour EVERYWHERE.

You're constantly perplexed by movie age ratings. Kids are allowed to see THAT?!

The tech that made this possible is really cool. They force DNA through a teeny-tiny hole in a protein, and measure changes in voltage to ID each individual letter.

Totally different from traditional shotgun sequencing!

Bravo to GPT-4 for that summary! Very cool study, thanks for sharing.

At the end of 2022, it had just under 1.8 million subscribers, according to the authoritative Alliance for Audited Media.

I guess I don't have context, but that doesn't sound like a failing, unprofitable magazine in 2022?

It's worth keeping an eye on the PineTab and PineNote . Just keep in mind that these are community driven projects that are under development, and best suited for people who like to tinker with linux devices.
