Doesn't seem like a flubbed line. "Humanoids" wouldn't make sense anyway because the Sensorites are humanoid. Maybe this is the aftereffects of the forced regeneration after the Doctor left the Division. 😆

Thanks but no thanks. I've been clean since Legion packed it in.

Snitches get stitches.

Ah so I should be blaming the shipper, not UPS. Those chincy bastards.

I'll try my best to endure said ducking like the idiot man child that I am.

I hear you, though I think this is less about education and more about getting folks to fork over $9.99 a month. Like so many others, I've a long frustrating relationship with Microsoft. They're literally the largest company in world atm and they just keep laying off people. I don't hate them quite as much as EA or Comcast, but it's getting pretty close.

I had anticipated that there would be an uptick in cryptographic signing to combat the problem as this sort of fakery has become ubiquitous, which in my mind would assure the recipient of a file that

A) the file is unaltered after the date/time of the signing B) that the file was created by the named photographer or videographer

This is not proof of authenticity but with a verifiable source, the file recipient could at least judge for themselves based on the reputation of the file creator (say, a notable AP photojournalist vs. some random schmoe).

Thus far, whenever I have raised this idea in a public forum, it has met with silence or even derision. What am I missing?

I haven't had the opportunity to test on another brand phone but atm I'm assuming from the developer statement that this will be true of Google Translate on all Android phones. Thanks for your contribution, though.

Edit: If the Google app is disabled on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4, the same behavior occurs.

This seems reasonable. But is it funny? I guess not for me.

Lemmy is more usable than kbin so when I moved, I found myself posting and commenting more. I think I've received at least one downvote every time I've done anything. 😆

I don't mind. If it can improve some poor sad shlub's day slightly, smack my downvote.

Recently I followed this guide on my late 2013 retina MBP and ended up with a fully working system. Used the latest Ubuntu [edit: 22.04 LTS Jammy Jellyfish] at the time. No hiccups that I recall. I'm not a Linux expert but I am familiar with installing and configuring Debian and Ubuntu. YMMV.

After letting the poor thing gather dust for several years, now I use it most every day.

Edit 2024-03-08 to clarify the release that I used
