I like to be home by 11, so there’s room for a little chill time before I actually have to go to sleep!

Getting home and immediately going to bed is the worst!

The “problem” they are trying to solve is “how do we keep people on the platform clicking and watching more videos for longer?” and the “solution” to that doesn’t necessarily involve showing you what you actually wanted to find.

Seems like you’re in the UK too.

Yeah, this was never a thing until Amazon made it one.

Thankfully, the law is very unambiguous about this, and if a parcel is left outside and then stolen before it gets into your hands (unless you specifically asked for it to be left outside) then you are entitled to a refund or replacement.

Amazon play the numbers game and figure that replacing x number of packages costs less than needing their drivers to bring all the undeliverable packages back and try again a different day.

It’s not a cool precedent though and I very much dislike it being normalised.

Same in the UK, would have been an automatic driving ban already with that many occasions of speeding - no difference between a camera and a cop here, they both count exactly the same.

[The proposal] defines a deepfake as a very realistic digital representation of a person, including their appearance and voice.

The government said the new rules would not affect parodies and satire, which would still be permitted.

Seems like they’ve already thought about this, and the law will cover only digital clones, not human lookalikes, and there are still fair use carve-outs.

I have two blåhaj - one in my bed for snuggles, who is well loved and well worn, and one hanging out on the back of my sofa for “Sunday Best” 😆

🤮

I’m glad I’m one of those people who can’t seem to percieve any difference above 60Hz

Having low standards is pretty convenient

My rule is I can’t buy a game unless I am going to play it that same day.

Even in cases where the rule causes me to miss a sale and end up buying the game later, I’m sure it still saves me money, and - more importantly - saves a tremendous amount of regret and stress caused by buying games that would just sit my library unplayed.

The beginning of this headline had me mislead.

I read ‘creepiest publisher’, and with the state of the industry these days I immediately thought it was going to be some exposé piece on a toxic culture of workplace misogyny, and sexual harassment.

I don’t think we want that. It sets some weird precedent that instances need to be lemmy-dot-something, which is both untrue and restrictive on server hosts as a barrier for entry if that becomes the universal convention.

Well, that part at least I don’t think is necessary. It’s a parody of a dating app, and it seems from searching screenshots the real app doesn’t have units either - just the number.

Which is just fine, because the number next to someone’s name being their age is clear from context.

I suspect the person you responded to understood the context, but was cheekily calling out the “technically incorrect” usage of ±

The ± symbol requires a tolerance value to create a defined maximum and minimum range, e.g 300±20 (so Soran could be anything between 280 and 320)

it doesn’t mean “approximately”

But I understand this is just an inconsequential funny picture, so whatever right.

I assumed they meant ‘baked potato’ because ‘baked potato’ is what they said.

Yes, of course it will be online.

Exactly the same for me.

Notifications are allowed only when they serve as a convenience mechanism to tell me something happened in my life that I want to know about and care about.

They are not allowed when they function purely as a free interrupt mechanism to allow a corporation to monetise my attention for their profit.

Anyone with news alerts turned on, do yourself a favour and turn them off.

The news is always available - if and when you want it. You don’t need to allow yourself to be barraged by it 24/7.

And after the apocalypse is finished there’s probably gonna be Iike, jobs available, and plenty of empty real estate. Opportunities!
