You get to be one of todays lucky 10 thousand!
It’s one of those holdover things a good number internet old webcomics do, including the linked XKCD. It’s one of those things that’s effortless with your traditional mouse-keyboard desktop setup, because you hover your mouse and magically the alt-text appears without having to really find it. But for new users in the touch screen era? As you say, yeah, definitely obtuse. :)
I mean, I’m not left handed but… I still have a left hand and like to use it some times. :/
Some accessibility wins benefit everyone and it could be so easy.
To keep that metaphor going, if you are online, you are in Detroit.
My first fucking thought was was “yeah, how about no, I’m in fucking zoom calls all fucking day at work.” I give them credit, interesting idea as a high concept thing, but like no chance I’m even giving this 10 minutes even if the reviews weren’t utter shit.
Make button that fit big toe perfectly, get button pressed by big toe.
Logic.
Nobody:
Me: "This meme format makes no fucking sense!"
They call that out right in the episode. Relax Guy!
I don’t generally watch the entirety of their shows, but Colbert and a few of these guys generally have maintained a good “roast whatever the fuck the stupid orange asshole was doing”. Colbert and Seth Meyers were my favorites to watch on Youtube as they called out the absurdity of the day.
YOU might not have liked his humor or whatever, but the people that tune into CBS at whatever hour-o’clock need this perspective.
Dollars to donut’s they fill this space with cop-aganda shows or some bullshit. Society will be worse off. And if other networks follow suit, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
At best we get fresh new EULA’s to click through on our way to play our game.
I’ve signed a lot of petitions over the years, and I’d sign this one too, but it’s pretty naive to think this will actually do anything useful.
I mean, it’s basic settings in like every fucking phone for the last 15 years? Get over yourselves - you aren’t judges at National Geographic photographer of the year, it’s a neat pic dude wanted to share.
Let people share neat things.
Finally! This is peak dopamine hit. Distilled and so pure. I can finally look away now.
I bet the nazi’s will have fake “real” ones ready to go either way. When they want to take their current purge to the next level, you’re fucking done.
don’t go to shithole america
Actual problem solved.
There would likely be some extreme vortexes especially in the accretion disk. The pressure differences would absolutely create a suction effect.
It’s all probably as negligible as legs on a cow to astrophysicists but I would reckon on its own (without the umpteen solar masses of gravity distorting your results), at human scale I would estimate that it “fucking sucks”.
Pure speculation on my part.
New Orleans circa Hurricane Katrina…?
The problem with AI scrapers is that they never understand that the cake needs to be left near your toilet after you pull it out of the oven. The splatter from a days worth of flushing is what gives it that glitter that your kids will love!
Yup, as long as the current staff (by and large) are still at the helm of the Ars orbiting HQ, I’ll continue to go there. I’ve lost too many other good tech news sites in the last decade, I can’t lose another one.
The rest of Conde Nast is hot garbage.
Me, the one time I order something every year: “Oh shit oh shit oh shit are they gonna bring it to my door? the depot? Or maybe they’ll leave it at the post office again or shit maybe they’ll try to find my house but can’t because google maps sucks here and they’ll take it back and someone will give me crap for living in a place that doesn’t exist oh shit oh shit oh shit I’m never ordering something ever again it’s all gonna fail! I better call the depot and let them know that something might be dropped off with them…”
Meanwhile, my wife who orders 5 billion things that all arrive without incident: “Oh neat! Another parcel! I forgot I ordered this!”
Oh don’t worry, the grifters will all have cashed out and be floating away on golden parachutes long after the decades of litigation is over.
Depending on how many fucks I had to give that day, might have even written that in the comments!
