Rapiers are a tad more modern, but there is a parallel in how they were a bit of a status symbol and often used for less "normal warfare" scenarios.

For now. I suspect some evil person will eventually think of baking in default ads for when it can't connect to the network to get new ones.

I think the profanity filter used to be non-optional on iOS's autocorrect.

All the time. It's basically the only way I open the Start menu. And I use Windows key shortcuts like Win+Alt+K really often.

I wonder what would happen. Let's say 10,000 people.

Let's say some extremist, highly organized group manages to successfully assassinate the 10,000 richest people in the world, and then disappears without a trace.

I'm guessing those people would all be succeeded by their next of kin. Would that cause a wave of change or...?

I used to wonder why we were in such a hurry to phase out 3G networks entirely.

Now I know.

I think you're going for malice a bit fast when incompetence and negligence seem like pretty likely culprits to me.

Shoko sounds like something you'd like. It tracks that you watch and auto-sorts your downloads into folders that your library can easily work with. Works well with Jellyfin and Plex.

They're still not done pushing their new, actually good, version to stable, though, and the same applies to the docs related to it. So I'd recommend going with the Daily version and joining the Discord for help with getting it to work.

Janky to install every time, but it's a godsend when it works.

Jacob from TechLinked mentioned it in a video.

Oh yeah I had a few.

  • That the moon you see during daytime is actually Mars (I then repeated that to my big sister and she believed it for an embarrassingly long amount of time)
  • That the "up" arrows on traffic lights were for planes

When you're born, Pantone checks your skin color and charges you. You need to get a license before you get tanned or they fine you.

I'm guessing you've already tried, but just in case: would dictation work for you?
