it could also be me being bitter about how schools don’t ever offer the raw image files after you pay for the photo. If some asshole wants to ruin the image with post processing they should at least be forced to give the raw to the client.

it’s pretty good a getting grammar correct.

it produces things that appear to be cohesive sentences. there is no reason to assign correctness to a sentence.

the only problem with that solution being applied to generic websites is schools and institutions can have many legitimate users from one IP address and many sites don’t want a chance to accidentally block one.

it’s as much “real” art as photography, taking a relatively finite number of decisions and finding something that looks “good”.

what if you are displaying a live bill for a service billed monthly, like bandwidth, and are charged one pence/cent/(whatever eutopes hundredth is called) per gigabyte if you use a few megabytes the bill is less than a hundredth but still exists.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google’s ‘Secret’ Update Scans All Your Photos⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
caller id is the thing that tells you the number. it isn’t cheap to forge, but it’s the only way a scan could reasonably effect anyone with more than half a brain. there is never a reason to send information to an unknown SMS number, or click on a link from a text message from an unknown number.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google’s ‘Secret’ Update Scans All Your Photos⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
if the cellular carriers were forced to verify that caller-ID (or SMS equivalent) was accurate SMS scams would disappear (or at least be weaker). Google shouldn’t have to do the job of the carriers, and if they wanted to implement this anyway they should let the user choose what service they want to perform the task similar to how they let the user choose which “Android system WebView” should be used.

I only go a couple times a year, but it’s still nice to have the convenience of 12 hours of travel instead of more than a day.

in order to visit one side of my family, which lives over 1000 miles away, a plane is by far the most convenient and fastest method.

that 6 year old clearly needs to learn the importance of silence. A commercial airliner deserves no praise, flights are no more special than train rides or bus rides.

if the court system allowed deferring partial fault for “preventable” deaths to the hospital for employing practices that are not in the best interests of the patient it might give them a financial incentive.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why doesn't phones numbers have a "DNS" servet so we can just type in words like we do with the internet?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
It’s almost as if volte being a* proprietary technology hurts consumers and a lack of emergency test numbers (numbers that use the emergency system but are just for testing that it works) makes things harder.

*potentially multiple technologies
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why doesn't phones numbers have a "DNS" servet so we can just type in words like we do with the internet?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
To be fair, phone books are far from common in the USA anymore, and DNS is a far more interacted with technology than old school caller id.

sometimes it’s not about solving the immediate problem, but about making sure it doesn’t happen again.

the electricity can be unsafe, such as if you just teist wires together and don’t bother covering them.

any form of collective project requires organization, which conveniently is not required for an individual project that can be as impulsive and unsafe as the individual wants.
