“My, you’re very juicy today”

“Do your own research!” “It’s obvious!”

This sounds like any website suddenly becomes an app store as soon as it starts distributing software for a mobile device. So (ignoring my following point), if I suddenly post my new APK on my personal site suddenly it’s an app store!?

I think so. The intention is probably to have the law cover any method of getting your hands on an app, not just what we typically know as “app stores”. Otherwise, it would leave a loophole.

This sounds like it includes laptops but not desktop computers.

I thought that at first too, but I think the part at the end about “handheld electronic devices” is what limits it to not include laptops.

But they DID curse. Did those asterisks magically remove all meaning from those words, or were you still perfectly able to understand their meaning? If it’s the latter, then the asterisks accomplished nothing.

If they truly wanted to avoid cursing, those words wouldn’t be there at all. Self-censoring like they did is what needs to be done on some platforms to still curse, but bypass content filters. That isn’t necessary here, so it’s just performative. If you’re going to curse, just fucking do it.

Interrobang‽

“Everyone” had nothing to do with my reply. You were saying that transphobia was not common. I quoted the relevant statistic from the survey you linked that implied otherwise.

Thirty-one percent of U.S. adults disapprove of transgender and nonbinary adults living their lives as they wish

That sure doesn’t sound like a niche thing

That caught me eye too. The article says a bit more about it:

“I’d say it’s very much on its way out … it’s basically rotting underneath. The water is way too warm for it to maintain. It’s constantly melting,” he said.

“I expect that to continue in the coming weeks, and expect it won’t be really identifiable within a few weeks.”

The way I interpret that is that it will have broken up enough that it would no longer be identifiable as the single iceberg A23a, but there would still be lots of its ice floating around.

Woo, I just set a new personal record!

…and Perplexity’s scraping is unnecessarily traffic intensive since they don’t cache the scraped data.

That seems almost maliciously stupid. We need to train a new model. Hey, where’d the data go? Oh well, let’s just go scrape it all again. Wait, did we already scrape this site? No idea, let’s scrape it again just to be sure.

That jumped out at me too. Giving the benefit of the doubt, it could be that this “snapshot” includes a very large amount of data that could be problematic if stored locally for longer. In reality, they probably do it this way for exactly this type of situation, so they can retain full control of the potentially-damning data.

Yep, nothing like that has ever worked…

Good. We need to stop producing so much plastic waste.

Thank you for your attention to this matter

Probably when you quickly roll the plane a small amount left and right, waggling the wings up and down and acting as a wave to those on the ground.

Wait, isn’t this article about the US ABC? The Disney-flavoured one?
