Has this one done it? or how many such watches in do you get to be happy?

When two planes love each other very much…

I’m also in possession of original hand-written letters by Jesus Christ himself, inside the original envelope complete with the “par avion” stamp that my neighbour gifted me.

Wondering how long has this been cooking? A year or so ago musk started attacking signal for no discernible reason and recommending telegram instead.

Also “car” - can my local mechanic service it and give it a flying certificate? If not, it’s not a car.

More like a barely road-worthy airplane.

“Where are you coming from?”

…suspect smoking pipe…

“Alright then, keep your secrets”

Brill. One of us.

A fallacy matters if it’s central to proving the argument, otherwise it probably doesn’t. Eg Bringing up an anecdote, or a subjective experience as a way of illustrating a point could be said to be fallacious, but is not, if the argument is well supported enough that would stand without it.

I just had an argument where I ended my point with the words “this is a pure could have been:” and added a very likely scenario that may well could have come to pass it some events were different. Obviously it was speculation and not central to the previous argument, but in my estimation likely.

Then other person instead of responding to actual points took the last part and accused me of should’a, would’a, could’a.

Dude, yes! But not the point, also I was the one that pointed it out. The type of person that would explain to a comedian their own joke.

Most people here: Yes, I bought an advertiser’s device, hooked up in a million ways to that advertiser’s services, who’s well known for monitoring every aspect of the life of every person they can, but how dare they monitor this part?

“No give, only take“ - stack overflow’s license.

Er, no we don’t. This is not Reddit.

PowerPDF or Kofax or whatever it’s called now was very close to parity if not exceed functionality for most office jobs.

Caitlin Johnston has had some insane takes over the years and constantly parrots Russian propaganda, even as Russia was invading Ukraine and up to now.

I don’t care if us drones are actually getting destroyed but given how naive a lot of Caitlin’s takes are I would want a second and third source confirmation before believing this.

I’ve tried it with forgejo, the recommended implementation involves spinning a temporary vm to run the integration and deployment processes, quite resource heavy and slow comparatively to the vm I have that’s running forgejo.

I think there’s an option to have the forgejo server itself run the commands without spinning up vms, but it’s not recommended due to security considerations as they’re running with the same privileges as the server - not a concern if you are the only developer connecting to a private instance of forgejo but something to keep in mind.

Haha! Yes, but not sure how effective it would have been. I think parenting counts intent way above outcomes.

Yes. The argument is, raise the burden of proof: you are proving what my intent was, and what actions I took, but you should be proving negative market effects. Just because I said it, and I did it, doesn’t mean I succeeded. And if I didn’t there’s no reason to be broken up.

My point is that the premise of the article is untrue - harking to a past that never was.

Don’t church bells shove advertising down your ears? How about if I open a competing church with louder bells? What if I open a donut shop and I ring bells to notify you that a fresh batch is ready?

“No more bells then”, cool.

How about mosques? No bells, just a guy screaming from a tall balcony. And another and another.

Even in communist Russia you had propaganda ads everywhere.

There are plenty of ways currently of blocking most ads out of online media anyway - though underhanded means like product placement etc still sip through.

The idea that advertising is a new invention is nonsense.

Yes, it had different forms but it was there.

Eg: What are the priests if not sales people and what are the Sunday bells if not calls to action, and what are the icons and statues if not aspirational advertising and fomo?

What are shop windows? What are branding marks?

Here is advertising in Ancient Rome

They have commercial tvs for kiosks, hotels, etc though a bit more expensive don’t have any of that junk.
