Welcome to the Corporate Internet.

Get ready to play by Their Rules on Their Services.

Good thing a lot of them are useless fucking Dinosaurs like CNN that need to die anyway.

That’s why places like Lemmy and Mastodon are nice, even if big corpo buys up some instances, there’s still the option to just start free ones elsewhere.

DrPop, to lemmy_stitch in 24 hours(!) of cross stitch on Errol the swamp dragon

Super cute and living the progress. I try to do about 300+ stitches a day myself. A 24 hour weekend witch fest sounds fun and also full of hand breaks.

Thanks! 300 daily is impressive, and so far out of my reach. Just have too many other craft projects on the go, which I suppose you could argue is my own fault.

Just thought to actually check how many stitches I did during this and it’s 2345, which yes that’s less than 100 an hour, but I had to do some frogging and also was very tired by the end lol.

Definitely a lot of fun though, maybe you should get the April edition in your calendar 😉

By the time you finished making this snarky meme, you could’ve set up a program to OCR a book yourself.

‘A’ yes, but the more scan pix you get, the annoyter you get

Wow! You made a ton of progress! It looks great!

@thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee avatar

Thanks! It was hard work, 8hrs a day doesn’t sound unmanageable until you remember you’re an adult who needs to do other things too! But at least I didn’t have to cheat and extend it into Monday this time which is my usual strat 😅

Errol! You better hide anything edible, or actually anything non-edible too, when that one is finished :)

Couldn’t quickly find the perfect quote, but have this lovely one instead:

Where do you think they’ve gone?’ he said. ‘Where what?’ said Lady Ramkin, temporarily halted.
‘The dragons. You know. Errol and his wi - female.’
‘Oh, somewhere isolated and rocky, I should imagine,’ said Lady Ramkin. ‘Favourite country for dragons.’
‘But it - she’s a magical animal,’ said Vimes. ‘What’ll happen when the magic goes away?’
Lady Ramkin gave him a shy smile.
‘Most people seem to manage,’ she said.
She reached across the table and touched his hand.

Sybil is such an icon <3

When I was deciding on fabric for this I nearly went with a space theme because I imagined them flying out beyond the edge of the Disc and finding a new world. But ultimately the colours in that fabric would’ve been too close to Errol. On the bright side this slightly speckly yarn is a bit “isolated and rocky” vibes so I think it still works!

Please dont post pictures of text without transcribing the text.

KillingTimeItself,

intrigued by the fact that this is hated so much. It’s a courteous ask, and something you probably should be doing. Especially if you can just copy and paste the majority of it.

I try to do it when possible.

My bad, I’m still new to this. Someone else kindly did below, no offense meant.

Please update the post with the transcript, add a link to the source page where the text appears, dont do this again, and let others know.

Let’s maintain the quality of this comm.

You think you are providing quality by making people jump through hoops for you? :)

Waraugh,

My only reference point is that I found out my blind grandpa is on here a few months back. Maybe they are trying to influence behavior that supports that level of software integration for blind visitors and have trouble communicating in a socially acceptable way.

Yeah. If you could just go ahead and make sure you do that from now on, that will be great. And uh, I’ll go ahead and make sure you get another copy of that memo. Mmmm, Ok?

OCR?

Gaspar,

Optical Character Recognition. Essentially, software that “reads” an image and pulls text out of it.

You see what they’re actually doing there?

“We are by law forced to give you the option to view our ads and accept our tracking, because of privacy legislation in your region. Since you are hindering us from doing so, you can’t come to the birthday party”.

Ok, thank you EU, I suppose! :)

grue,

Pretty sure CNN is (willfully) misinterpreting the law. The EU is definitely not prohibiting them from just turning off the tracking without providing a choice.

Bitch you can’t ctrl-F or click to chapter in an actual book either.

I know, that’s my point! PDF’s are inherently superior BECAUSE you can usually CTRL-F them.

JackbyDev,

Wait until OP hears about the Index at the back of the book.

Very impressive! That’s a bummer that you need Chrome to make it happen though :/

It will still work on PDFs loaded in Chrome to be fair though.

Thanks for caring about my privacy, CNN, sorry I couldn’t be more helpful in facilitating your solid privacy measures.

ceenote,

You can be more helpful, though.

Go to a different website.
