I literally pulled the original game out of a cereal box in 2010 and proceeded to have hours upon hours of fun with it. It was on one of those funny small CD-ROMs. Good times.

Sure, Patreon is great, but Patreon alone is not enough for most creators to make a living, considering how hard it is to get people to commit to monthly subscriptions.

Would you put blame on doctors for contributing to the opioid?

I’m gonna assume by “contributing to the opioid” you mean over-prescribing pain medication for the commission? If so, that comparison is so far-fetched that it’s completely meaningless. You’re really going to compare that with independent creators having skippable ad reads that have to be clearly marked as such on content you get for free?

This is a bit unnecessarily tough on independent content creators… what exactly do you expect them to do? Make no money from their content? How would they be able to make a living?

Ah yes! “Just teach” the cat. Easy

Absolutely not, time doesn’t give a shit about humans, and would happily pass without any conscious observer at all anywhere in the universe.

They sell AirTag location data? I honestly find that hard to believe. What’s your source on this other than big tech bad?

It really feels like no matter what community you look at on Lemmy, every 3rd post is Windows bad Linux good. It’s honestly a bit exhausting. And I’ve been running Linux for over a decade…

Well yes and no. Market cap is the total value of all shares for the particular stock combined (not including those held by the company itself). The value of each individual share is determined on the market. No-one directly “owns” this value, since the whole point of stocks is to distribute ownership, so no-one including Apple as an entity “owns” their market cap entirely. If that were the case, there would be no trading, and ergo no value to the shares, and the entire idea of a market cap no longer applies.

Individually though, the value of shares is of course very real. If you own shares and the stock is liquid (as in: there are people willing to buy), you can sell those shares for real money whenever you wish, at the current market price. Unless you want to sell a substantial amount, in which case you may run into trouble finding buyers and / or create significant downward pressure on the price.

No, “most valuable” is accurate here, since we’re talking about its market cap (value of all shares combined essentially). “Wealthiest” would refer to the company’s total assets.

I mean… It’s 100% the same here on Lemmy as well

It was most likely HP, through Windows Update (which handles device-specific driver etc. updates that OEMs are in control of). Microsoft doesn’t concern itself with pushing BIOS updates to some random 4-year old HP model

Does it though? Having it pull down your shirt, having to rely on projecting a GUI on your hand, and being unable to hear it in loud environments all seem like pretty strong limitations of the form factor

Where do you download them from?

How is this a meme?

… Classic cat people I guess

You can’t just “update” models to not say a certain thing with pinpoint accuracy like that. Which one of the reasons why it’s so challenging to make AI not misbehave.

Some do but it most likely doesn’t! There are experiments where the bird’s beaks had a local anesthesia applied and it had no effect on the bird’s sense of orientation. Instead it seems like it’s most likely something called cryptochrome in the eyes, where a quantum mechanism (radical pair reaction) might be taking place that could generate sense-able electrical signals. There is further evidence for this, like birds being unable to tell when a magnetic field is reversed 180° (which an iron-based compass should be able to), and their sense of direction being effectively turned off by very mild RF interference at the right frequency, which also wouldn’t affect an iron compass.

Human brain waves are affected ever so slightly by magnetic fields, some people’s more than others. It might very well be that there’s some kind of subtle subconscious effect of the Earth’s magnetic field on our sense of orientation.
