Fair enough. Thank you for sharing a different experience.
You mentioned part of the issue; there are so many different services you don’t think of obviously. Of course, there’s mail, but there’s also storage and phone backups, maps, social media logins, shared documents and folders, photos, etc.
Absolutely the best way to do it is a little bit at a time. It’s definitely not a weekend project. But it is very rewarding and very much worth it.
If every browser and every piece of tech attached to them disappeared tomorrow, we would immediately reinvent them.
Having a program to display interactive information from a network is far too useful for communication. Websites are just code that is purpose-built for being rendered by browser software, and a network to exchange the code. Even when the internet was text-terminal only, people still created ASCII art, text tables, etc. There is technically software (such as word processors, ereaders, etc.) that can render webpages, but how would you connect to a site? How would you do anything useful? Companies would have to add those features to existing software. If you think Edge is a pain, wait until you have to surf the web in MS Word!
It can be very challenging to disentangle yourself from Google services. Once you start, it’s shocking how many different ways they hook into our lives.
But at least for me, it’s been absolutely worth it.
Yes, I know that’s what it says in this article, but I don’t think it’s correct. Merriam Webster actually says not only that opossum can be pronounced without the O, but it can also be spelled without the O. The two words are interchangeable according to Merriam Webster.
Edit: In other words, one definition of possum is opossum and vice versa.
I actually don’t think this is totally accurate. Possum is an alternate pronunciation/spelling of opossum. According to this thinly sourced Wikipedia article:
The common name “possum” for various Phalangeriformes species derives from the creatures’ resemblance to the opossums of the Americas… However, although opossums are also marsupials, Australasian possums are more closely related to other Australasian marsupials such as kangaroos.
Can anyone confirm this one way or the other?
KagI is pretty good in various languages.
The industry will end up with one or two winners and a lot of losers. Very hard to predict these things (smart money in 1997 was that Apple was about to file bankruptcy). One or two companies will have success and the rest will evaporate or be absorbed. Then the AI product itself will be priced up (and dumbed down) significantly.
AI will not go away, but will be far more limited and specialized. The day of free general access to powerful chatbots will be up.
Can you actually name a celebrity who did a promotion deal for a charity and didn’t donate any of their own money? Or is this just a hypothetical villain?
Heaven forbid that someone with a large influence use it raise money for sick kids instead of a beer company.
I spoke to my old friend Mitch this morning for just shy of 20 minutes… about the need to need to draw down in IRAN, end student DEBT PERMANANTLY, expand MEDICARE for ALL AMERICAN residents, and even a little bit of Senate history. I told him we want to see him back at work as soon as possible.
“Our ancestors possessed wisdom that is lost to us now. This artifact is believed to have been used to distribute concentrated food pellets. They called it a ‘PEZ.’”
You know that the money goes to the Sandy Hook families, right?
Here is a plan for 5$ per month for 300 minutes from tello.
Edit: To clarify, I don’t believe a true prepaid minutes only plan exists in the U.S. This was the most basic/cheapest plan I was able to find.
Can you imagine how much energy is stored in a transporter buffer?
I mean, they’re flying around in a big engine that bends the fabric of space, so maybe it’s not such a big deal a few hundred years in the future. I guess it’s like comparing a furnace and bellows with a nuclear reactor.
Cheapo doesn’t even offer exposure.
When you view other human beings as transactions, then slavery is no different than a coupon.
They also have the most amazing eyes in the animal kingdom. We’re pretty sure that they have depth perception based on the different refractive indices of light.
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.
