They need to learn grammar, not spelling. All the words are spelled correctly.

On, because I want information, not art.

Deleted my Google account once the degoogle of my phone was complete. I dropped 100% of who I followed. Sometimes they still come up in the DuckDuckGo screen and I watch them through there and if they move to any other platform I'll consider it. Maybe.

But I'd rather they moved to Peertube and setup a funding method.

There is a maximum human population this planet can support and we have been over it by a couple billion for a while and we've been using technology to expand that number and sustain the population. Those methods are burning out our methods to grow crops and are reliant on fossil fuels.

One way or the other the population will decrease. At this point it's a question of whether we do it through planned decrease or a population crash due to starvation from a combination of soil deterioration and climate change stress.

Legend...

Wait for it....

I have watched the deer in Campbell River walk up the sidewalk single file, wait at a crosswalk for the road to clear, and then cross.

The animals are learning to navigate the new jungle.

But this is definitely AI with those road lines. So a fake story.

Reading?! Wat dat?

I do not miss these. The RCA wires were so frail on most consoles. At least you could repair cables with spare parts from Radio Shack back then.

Sometimes when you order off Amazon and the like (Etsy, Ebay) you get little thank yous. The more religious sellers put bible quotes on them

I'm guessing it is something like that, but more escalated like a pamphlet?

But that could only be done if the method do so had been stored as a program in the databanks. In Voyager, when they try to replicate The Doctor; Harry writes a program and then tells the computer to run that program. When the hologram fails, he has to reprogram it and run again.

But more simple than that. If I'm not mistaken this is simply a font where A is mapped to P and B to V and so on. The fonts we use all are saved by the comp as character codes. Fonts are just a map of glyphs.

Wingdings is the mist famous and oldest case of a font where any letter typed comes out as something completely different.

So they have mapped a font where the letters are jumbled, and used the map with a script to encode the pages content to the same cypher. Loading the page with anything but the font that draws the intended letter instead of the letter that is verbatim on the page results in garbage.

 

I've been seeing a lot of startrek.website shares I do showing the wrong desc and image in the unfurl on the posts lately. It was a few of them a week at first, but it's become multiple a day now.

As the most recent example, the "Look at the time, its 7 of 9" post unfurls like this in signal:

Is this a known issue? Is there a better place to report instance issues? It kind of looks to me like UUID reuse leading to new posts displaying old images.

 

Just had this one shared with me directly on signal and could not find it in here, nor could I find a source. Too good not to share though. If someone knows the meme creator I'll update this with proper credit.
