I don’t personally remember this whole story, obviously, but I can’t imagine how else we could’ve just walked out. I guess, another possibility would be that only our mom was visiting the relatives and our dad was taking a mighty nap.
But well, my brother and I were apparently always well-behaved children. And we could’ve always phoned them, or rang at the door of an older lady living in the same house, or walked two streets over to our grandparents or three streets over to friends of the family.
Evidently, we even knew how to walk to our relatives across town, so I do feel like that would have been enough of a support network and at least my brother old enough, so that one could start trying to leave us home alone. You do have to start at some point…
Mozilla pays for a premium subscription to Google Analytics, which allows them to opt out of data usage by Google. So, obviously Google still aggregates the data, but only for providing reports to Mozilla. Google may not use the data for their own user analysis/tracking, as they would do without the premium subscription. Otherwise, Google would be in breach of contract, which would be an easy lawsuit with high punishment for Google.
I feel like people not knowing this Matpat person may also just be a case of the channel being called “The Game Theorists”.
I have seen videos of that channel suggested, but never clicked on any, because it looked like typical content mill stuff to me. If you don’t watch any videos, you’ll only ever read “The Game Theorists”…
I don’t do that (again, too static for me), but I have larger meta-workspaces still, which group 20 workspaces each into very big, very distinct topics like “Orga” and “Work”.
One example that stuck with me is that he said some shit along the lines of 80% of Twitter’s microservices being superfluous and he’ll be shutting them off.
Yes, the dev teams just spent 4/5 of their time building shit no one asked for. It just annoys me so much, because anyone with basic reasoning should be able to work out that this cannot possibly be the case, but it’s easy to give it the benefit of the doubt.
Well, except that many, many Twitter outages followed.
It means the message was sent as an SMS rather than via Apple’s internet chat protocol. There’s also a whole thing that when you write with Android users, they always get green bubbles.
I can’t get it to decode, even after correcting the base64 padding. Firefox just shows the broken image icon. My image viewer throws out the glorious log message Image format is actually “png” not “png”, along with a bunch of checksum errors.
I guess, the checksum can’t be correct when it’s cut off, but none of my image viewing/editing software wants to look past that.
