They don't make docs like they used to. For what it's worth, those "...for Dummies" books were never going to make anyone an expert on anything, but every one of them I've ever read was the most densely packed set of comprehensible information on the subject available at the time.

100+ million years qualifies as right in the middle of "for long" in my book. The fact that an asteroid or comet of biblical proportions wiped them out has nothing to do with evolutionary effectiveness. Most of the animals that did survive either A) lived in water or B) lived underground.
Much like screaming FIRE!! in a crowded venue, there has to be a limit on free speech, and that limit is typically when it causes harm to other people
I'd like to think we're above some ridiculous "Cruelty to AI" sentiment as a species, but then I rewatch "Measure of a Man" and begin to loosely question the ridiculousness of said notion.
He says, typing from a computer for which the underlying concepts were formulated long before he was born and are only now coming to fruition long after the inventors have passed.
Science and technology are never driven by an "only if I see the benefit" mentality. Progress is a gift to all mankind.
The mice are running the litterbox over there, indeed.
Reddit is a complete and utter shithole.
This. I've had a Lemmy account for a while but reddit suspended me yesterday for calling someone stupid - after they made disparaging remarks about someone else. Their account was untouched. I know because I saw posts dated after my suspension.
I don't know if Lemmy will work out or not, but Reddit has proven they're not fit to moderate any significant portion of the web's content and I can't be bothered to consume and contribute in that environment any longer. I submitted an account deletion request with an extra slice of my mind on the matter.
We've had one misdirection yes, but what about second furry China men?
No, I think they mean "friends" sharing accounts.
In the grand scheme of things, do I think this is an issue? No. But it's their service to decide what amount of sharing is appropriate. As long as there is no ceiling to the storage limit, people will abuse it. That's all I get out of this - they're tired of people abusing the generosity.
The only non-techies I know that use Chrome are those I have installed Chrome for.
Most people who "just use the computer" these days DO use edge, in my experience.
