“Back that far”??

When did you think mechanization started?

Agreed on it all.

I think a big driver for cloud clients is bean counters - cloud is an expense, while having your own systems is capital investment.

They’d rather have the waste of leasing too much compute than have to pay taxes on systems plus the cost of staff to run it.

We won’t really see this get addressed until companies have to truly own the risks they take on (see all the hacks that happen on a daily basis because CIO won’t pay for the security that IT management is screaming to build). When fines for these breaches are meaningful, cloud will be less interesting.

I disagree with either of those being good.

What’s that got to do with companies being willing to insure illegal activity?

Even if a company did, why would they pay out? You’d have zero legal recourse - you can’t enforce a contract that violates the law.

Hahahaha, suckers!

Signal sucks from a UI/UX standpoint, when they dropped SMS support I lost any ability to convince people to switch, and everyone who had already switched left.

Then there’s the seamless switching between devices…which it doesn’t do.

The mall was dying by the 80’s, there was a sharp decline by then (I recall seeing numerous malls going vacant in the 90’s, around the country).

The things that drove mall popularity (especially things like large, enclosed, air-conditioned space), were no longer novel. Most cars were air-conditioned by then.

I’m sure there are many other factors, like the growth of free-standing single-vendor buildings (so construction and management costs must’ve changed).

Amazon really had nothing to do with it.

Doesn’t look like it works with other calendar systems yet?

Currently, Notion Calendar integrates and syncs with Google Calendar accounts. Adding support for other calendar providers such as Outlook and iCloud is on our roadmap.

Also it only works with a Notion account? It gives me no other options - just “Login to your Notion account”.

I wouldn’t call Thunderbird “decent”, I’d call it nominally functional.

Performance is terrible, lots of lags, etc. And this on a fairly new, recently rebuilt, 16gb Windows LTSC laptop (so no bloat).

And then there’s the UI stuff - monochromatic so hard to tell where one window/tab starts/ends, etc.

Guess she’d like to see all her “unencrypted” chats published for the world to see…

So, what’s the utility of labeling yourself a “bad person”?

Everyone, everyone is imperfect, it’s the nature of being human. And we’re all imperfect in our own way, though we may share categories or degree of imperfection with others.

What’s more useful is to acknowledge when a poor choice is made, and striving to make better choices.

Negative self-talk doesn’t help.

My Lexmark laser, from 1996, just quit last summer.

Though I think I can fix it - seems a paper jam sensor is stuck.

Ah, yea, that seems more like something that wasn’t intended for breaks.

Definitely disruptive.

Oxygen has an interesting plot, similar, but not it.

I think the prison angle in this film wasn’t the main premise. Just how a technology was used.

There was an eye drop that delivered a drug or something that could…do something to your brain.

Uggh, wish I could remember more.

Similar style, but that was a mini-series (for lack of a better description).

This was a movie (IIRC), and she was held in a prison in her mind (so she thought), I can’t remember the details. Futuristic, but not very far into the future.

If you’ve owned more than 2, those are on you! 🤣

But yea, consumer printers suck.

There was another movie around this idea very recently, maybe a couple years ago. Can’t remember the name though.

Young woman in isolation, think she helped create the system, maybe was on Netflix like 4 years ago?

I don’t mind those breaks… It feels like going to the next chapter in a book.

But actual ads, yea, not for a service that costs.

Though this whole thing is funny - they collect even more user data than they did with cable or broadcast, and now want to show you ads too.

Can’t wait to finish my media server setup.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply.

I’ve heard many times that revolvers or semi-auto have less recoil than the other, hence the question about slide mass/energy, as the only element I could see being different which could possibly explain why people hold this opinion.

Do you know of any actual metrics/tests done that show this clearly? Or is it just a perception issue?

(And yea, we’d have to agree on a definition of what we’re measuring/comparing). Do any gun magazines run proper tests occasionally to make comparisons?

I admit my physics classes were a long time ago, but at first glance it seems felt recoil would only be marginally different between a revolver and a pistol using the same round. If anything, I’d expect the revolver to have a greater felt recoil, given the mechanics of a pistol… But I could very well be wrong.

Bad faith, for sure, made very clear in the last 20 years.
