I think the reason Zealandia is called a "submerged continent" is because it is made of continental crust rather than oceanic crust.

But IMO the best geologic definition of continents is by tectonic plates, which mostly matches up with the cultural definitions of the continents.

For the major continents, we have these plates:

  • North American
  • South American
  • Eurasian
  • African
  • Australian
  • Antarctic

There are several smaller plates too, like the Caribbean, Indian, and Arabian plates. IMO, we should consider these independent continents.

There is also a dedicated Pacific plate. The ring of fire is the border of this plate.

New Zealand / Zealandia is on the ring of fire. Half on the Australian plate, half on the Pacific plate. You can actually see the border of the two plates when you look at the topographical map of Zealandia.

You're using the New York Times to support the idea that the New York Times didn't support the war.

What do you think could be an issue with using that evidence?

Nothing? It's literally the primary source.

Did NYT support the war? Let's look at the opinion pieces they published about the war.

Yeah, I think so.

At first, Xockets sounded like a legit tech company to me. But a closer look at their website reveals that it's actually run by a bunch of patent attorneys.

I saw it at the MoMA in NYC. The thing is tiny...

I think they're just stopping operations of the company in Brazil.

But I don't think they're going out of the way to prevent Brazilian IPs from connecting.

Where I work, everything is on IPv6. Both the infrastructure for the software services that we run, and our own internal corporate network.

My ISP also provides publicly routable IPv6 prefixes over DHCP. Any layman in my city with this ISP will be on IPv6 by default.

I also use IPv6 for my LAN.

Like, it's just kind of the default in my neck of the woods...

[S]hareholders said they learned that CrowdStrike’s assurances about its technology were materially false and misleading when a flawed software update disrupted airlines, banks, hospitals and emergency lines around the world.

I don't see how they can make this argument.

Falcon is a kernel module. When kernel modules fuck up, you get kernel panics.

Sure, the layperson may not know enough about computers to recognize this, but it's a basic enough fact about operating systems that an investor in a company like this should take the time to learn. It's not like they hid that fact.

If you invested in a company without knowing how their product works, that's on you.

Tell me you've never worked on a farm without telling me that you've never worked on a farm.

The thumbnail photo is extreme, yes. But white farm workers still get sunburns.

Yes, thanks for the spelling correction.

is a pretty surreal. Considered one of the most influential films of all time. One of the earliest examples of post-modernism in film.

Every scene in Ex Machina is basically a dialogue covering different arguments in the philosophy of AI. Plus a surreal dance scene.

I was blown away by mother! when I first saw it. But looking back on it, the allegory wasn't exactly subtle.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is a meta-modern masterpiece.

Tropic Thunder, as a meta commentary on comedy, is actually really good. Aside from the great comedy itself.

They can't even be punished. robots.txt is just a convention, not a regulation. It's totally not enforceable.

The only legal framework we have is copyright law. Those who oppose this behavior will have to demonstrate copyright violation, and that may be difficult to do since the law hasn't caught up.

On my "subscribed" page, if I scroll down, the app crashes. Not sure of anything more than that. But it's definitely repeatable for me.

GBoard (Google's keyboard for Android) has a GIF entry feature.

Sync properly uploads the GIF from GBoard to my Lemmy instance, but the GIF does not play in the comments, and clicking on it returns an error "image was actually a web page!"

For the record, they're not technically GIFs. GBoard uploads the image as WebM.

This seems like a user journey that should be supported. Android users who use Google's keyboard to input a GIF comment would expect it to work or throw an error at upload time. Instead, Sync allows us to submit such comments, but they are broken upon viewing.
