Last Notes npub148f6uf0fmv93mw2lg4tm6vyk6q065dqy82jp5zgmscj78fe4ldmqfqjghh Leon Cowle @npub1wuw…pjs5 Yup, it is shocking to see how crap food here is (ingredient wise) compared to the UK/EU. npub148f6uf0fmv93mw2lg4tm6vyk6q065dqy82jp5zgmscj78fe4ldmqfqjghh Leon Cowle @npub1kmg…y9fw (deleted 3 msgs, and consolidated here): 3 tiny typos @npub15ml…2w4s: 1. “that have meaning to both us and the the computer” (the the -> to the) 2. "Is it the new defintion of…“ (definition) 3. “than the degree to which is taps into this” (is -> it) npub148f6uf0fmv93mw2lg4tm6vyk6q065dqy82jp5zgmscj78fe4ldmqfqjghh Leon Cowle @npub1cuf…6f4c You can't NOT have an emergency episode tonight! npub148f6uf0fmv93mw2lg4tm6vyk6q065dqy82jp5zgmscj78fe4ldmqfqjghh Leon Cowle @npub18r7…xrw4 I suppose a lot of that belief is down to the fact that Texas DQ (TDQOC) is separate from the rest, even has its own app in the AppStore, with a separate menu. npub148f6uf0fmv93mw2lg4tm6vyk6q065dqy82jp5zgmscj78fe4ldmqfqjghh Leon Cowle @npub1wuw…pjs5 My only *slight* issue is with headlines. The headlines only containing “Apple” (not Apple AND Google) come across as clickbaity. This is one time when it wasn't just the one or the other. Both were doing this. Both were prevented from telling anyone. But so many reports today only listed Apple in their headlines (but both in the stories). This is one where smaller shops, like yourself, could differentiate yourselves by NOT falling prey to this sensationalist clickbait style. npub148f6uf0fmv93mw2lg4tm6vyk6q065dqy82jp5zgmscj78fe4ldmqfqjghh Leon Cowle @npub1wuw…pjs5 Not a fan of the framing of the story (by Arstechnica, and even your link, Danie). "Apple admits to secretly giving govts push notification data”. When the story is more accurately: “Apple AND Google have been giving govts push notification data and have been prohibited from telling you about it by the US Federal Govt” Followed by “And now that a US Senator has broken the secrecy veil, Apple will start including it in their wide ranging privacy reports (No word from Google yet)”. npub148f6uf0fmv93mw2lg4tm6vyk6q065dqy82jp5zgmscj78fe4ldmqfqjghh Leon Cowle @npub1wuw…pjs5 Yes, a cost per km (or per mile) is the better approach, exactly for the reason you say: the coming EV revolution (my 15yo will get my wife’s Escape when he goes to college, and we'll definitely get my wife an EV). So here are my F-150 truck’s cost per distance (in both R/km and $/m). We definitely run more expensive here with our incredibly inefficient engines. (let me know if you spot a glaring error in my calculations) https://media.hachyderm.io/media_attachments/files/111/375/731/455/701/553/original/e085b16d342a5f2e.jpeg npub148f6uf0fmv93mw2lg4tm6vyk6q065dqy82jp5zgmscj78fe4ldmqfqjghh Leon Cowle @npub1z9l…4trf Typo @npub1eee…e209? "and the GPUs introduces three breakthroughs” -- presumably needs to be “introduce”? npub148f6uf0fmv93mw2lg4tm6vyk6q065dqy82jp5zgmscj78fe4ldmqfqjghh Leon Cowle @npub1h7z…xqvk @npub13dj…l9qf I love to wind my fellow born&bred Americans up when they say things like “I'm Irish” or “I'm German” (or Ukranian, or Argentinian -- all 4 examples of which I have close-ish friends who have said that). I then say “No, you're American. You were born here, right? You parents were likely born here, right? Possibly even your grandparents. You're American, not xxxxxx!”. Most of them can't even speak the language of the nationality they claim to ‘be’. npub148f6uf0fmv93mw2lg4tm6vyk6q065dqy82jp5zgmscj78fe4ldmqfqjghh Leon Cowle @npub1wuw…pjs5 Here on Masto at least, use a client like Ivory (and others) that supports regex filtering and then filter: (?i)\bx\b Should catch most occurrences. npub148f6uf0fmv93mw2lg4tm6vyk6q065dqy82jp5zgmscj78fe4ldmqfqjghh Leon Cowle @npub1kmg…y9fw Love it! I, too, shall now use that phrase, @npub15ml…2w4s. I’m curious, what made you settle on a plumber to coin this concept? Are pipe issues common in movies, as opposed to science, explosives/weapons, aircraft, hacking/IT, finance, medical, law, etc often being ludicrously depicted on screen. Just wondering what your mental approach was to land on plumbers of all professions! 😂 npub148f6uf0fmv93mw2lg4tm6vyk6q065dqy82jp5zgmscj78fe4ldmqfqjghh Leon Cowle @npub1hvd…9sq9 Glenn, I was voicing the same feeling earlier to a friend. It’s really starting to feel like he’s going down. Dare I allow myseld to hope for such justice…? npub148f6uf0fmv93mw2lg4tm6vyk6q065dqy82jp5zgmscj78fe4ldmqfqjghh Leon Cowle @npub1hvd…9sq9 Why is it always the NYT that posts these insane op-eds? I genuinely believe their (once great) reputation is suffering for giving these opinions a platform. I'm all for reasonable discourse of opposing views, but there has to be a reasonable threshold. npub148f6uf0fmv93mw2lg4tm6vyk6q065dqy82jp5zgmscj78fe4ldmqfqjghh Leon Cowle #[0] #[1] Not 100% what you’re 𝓪𝓼𝓴𝓲𝓷𝓰 for, I ⓚⓝⓞⓦ, but it’s 𝐚𝐥𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝕡𝕠𝕤𝕤𝕚𝕓𝕝𝕖. I’ll be curious to hear whether the above sentence displays correctly on your side, Craig?
