I remember some old movie that was on TV ~30 years ago. A terrorist group broke into some computer room to destroy the data. They shot the monitors to smithereens and ran away.
(AFAIR they weren’t Macs)

Well, on the other hand, medicine learned a lot… /s
It sounds fun at first but imagine the amount of heart attacks and other horrible Mengele level fuckups.
70 year old management member who came up with the idea of using this metric in the first place:
“The system shows you haven’t touched your mouse for half an hour.”
“Yes, I worked out a solution on paper, like back in the old days.”

“Jingna Zhang @ cara.app/zemotion @zemotion So freaking speechless right now. Seen many @vercel functions stories but first time experiencing such discrepancy vs request logs like, this is cannot be real??”
I don’t use it actively (I’m not even logged in) but a good bunch of my friends keep sending me links. It would sound pretty mean if I just refused to open so many links to so many people on so many platforms (I consider TikTok even worse). I was talking about the phenomenon in general and brought up Instagram as an example.
Everything is doing it already. Good luck watching a “horizontal” video uploaded to Instagram from your desktop browser.
Like it was impossible for websites to display properly. Especially when you want to watch the horizontal video that was uploaded to a vertical based site on a horizontal monitor (I’m looking at you, Instagram). Then you’re left with ~9% of your monitor area and you can’t even read the fucking text on the video.
I understand that you need to adapt when most people watch videos on phones now, but forcing people to install an app just to get all your user data is a pretty scummy move. Also, I may want to use my PC instead for a multitude of reasons.
True! I just remembered that there was a way to make the whole word silent but didn’t remember the T bit so I looked it up. This was the first example. Soften is much better!
Do you mean stuff like acquire? There are a good bunch of ‘cq’ words.
That’s interesting! How about Q?
You CAN pronounce it fish, but you can also just simply not pronounce it.
GH is pronounced _ like in high.
O is pronounced _ like in jeopardy.
T is pronounced _ like in potpourri.
I is pronounced _ like in receive.
Therefore, ghoti is completely silent.
I measure my fuel consumption in square millimeters, thank you very much.
Vegetarianism: the custom of eating vegetables. So I guess we are witnessing the birth of humanitarianism.
Phone breaking anxiety, anyone? I have broken several phones by dropping them in my dreams. I got my first in ~2002 and I haven’t broken a single phone since then. I guess I just jinxed it, but still… I definitely dream about phones about once a year.
