Purple: You have eaten beets recently. Green: You have had a Vitamin B supplement.

Are you going to provide an explanation you think is more correct? Some kind of correction, or citation, or just say “you’re wrong” without further comment?

The first half, because of testosterone.

The second half, because of prolactin.

It’s not really that simple, but it’s part of it. And I’m not a doctor.

You could just counterspell it. The “no spells in the building can be countered” and “protection” clauses only affect it after it enters the battlefield.

So, it would go to the graveyard, its owner would be banned, and nobody could take any turns. They would have to postpone the tournament until the next day.

The first one I knew the model number of was the Macintosh IIsi. It had Mac OS 7. The only games were SimCity, and a few free games we got from a 1 hour free trial of AOL. The only programming language was Apple Script, and it didn’t work right (the sample programs didn’t run).

My problem with that theme is that it doesn’t highlight any buttons. I believe all buttons should have borders, especially the ones the titlebar. This helps distinguish a noninteractive label from an interactive clickable button.

I literally cannot use a program that has AI crap integrated into it, because of data security rules in the contracts I have to follow. If I used Windows 11, I would have to never use Notepad, and find a way to remove Explorer. (Explorer creates the desktop icons and taskbar, so good luck with that.)

Windows 11 doesn’t even have a working file manager or text editor anymore. This is not a serious operating system.

Rejecting Netflix fixes things for you and me, but the article says Netflix has 93 million ad-supported subscribers. I’m really worried about the amount of influence advertisers have on our society, and it’s only getting worse. Even if you and I can be above the direct influence of these ads, many people are not, and those people are influencing you and me. This produces a dangerous secondary influence that can reach most of society, and just fills everyone’s mind with lies, for hardly any cost.

The GPL explicitly allows redistributing without charge, even if you paid for it. If they didn’t want their program redistributed, they shouldn’t have licensed it under the GPL.

Their entire security model depends on knowing file extensions, but they still hide them. Even if you enable it, there are some extensions that still won’t show, like .lnk (shortcut file). You can absolutely have executable code, and therefore malware in a .lnk file.

And it was GPL, so it wasn’t even copyright infringement.

24 and a half hours. I showed up the first day and found out the training period was unpaid. They advertised $15 per hour W-2-style position, but when I showed up, they offered a totally different 1099 contractor position where most of my time would be unpaid. I went home and researched, and confirmed my suspicions that Vector Marketing was a total scam. I came back the next day and chewed them out in front of all the other trainees they were trying to scam.

I have to disagree about the idiot proof. KDE Plasma and Mate Desktop are more idiot proof and easy for newbies than Windows 10-11, yet have more features in their simple control panels.

I’ve had no bootloader problems in the last 10 years of Debian, Linux Mint, and Ubuntu (15-20 installs, plus another 20-30 if you count VMs.) However, my work computer’s bootloader was semi-bricked twice in 2019 (Windows 7).

Turn signals are not optional.

The Nintendo 64 had no 64-bit games.

They probably would have taken more flash and RAM with no advantage in performance.

How can you tell if this one is? The text differences within and between panels 1 and 2 are indistinguishable (to my eyes) from JPEG artifacts.

Copyright’s purpose is to improve the public domain. If it doesn’t do that, then its harmful and should be reduced or abolished.

To keep copyrighted content relevant at the point it enters the public domain, copyright should be shortened to 20 years for creative works (films, music, paintings, Spongebob).

Consider the current public domain, which contains things like fairy tales. People remix and retell fairy tales all the time, and it makes for good stories.

I can’t seem to upload images, but if you image-search for:

“we’ve completed our review and found this account’s activity goes against whatsapp’s terms of service”

You will find screenshots you can download and use as fake proof that you are banned.

When I had to contact Facebook to get an account unlocked, they took about a month to respond to each email, and never did unlock the account no matter how much proof I sent them. I expect WhatsApp is similar, since it’s owned by the same company. So just say that they hardly respond, and they say things they’ve already said, ask you to try things you’ve already tried, or they ask for documents you’ve already sent them.

Why were you banned? Maybe you accidentally signed in on a phishing page, and they sent spam using your account. Maybe you created an account, and your first action was to contact a person you hadn’t contacted before (obviously), and it was marked as spam. Maybe you signed up on an IP address previously used by a spam-sending datacenter (this happened a lot to me at my old house). Maybe your phone number was banned from WhatsApp before you got it, but you already gave it to too many people to be able to change it.

Steam is part social network, so it’s expected. The play time is clearly counted, and you can choose to hide it. Steam does not count your offline hours.

From the 15 minutes I’ve played Switch, it did not obviously: record playtime, phone home, or give any option to be online/offline.
