It's almost like the human body is a biological nuance that's different for everyone. We all learned about "a varied diet", "an active lifestyle", and "weightloss is calories in vs calories out".

The nuance is always that these things mean widely different things from person to person.

5GB is plenty for emails, won't be an issue for 99% of people.

THE problem with google's storage is that they actively mislead consumers:

1. They bother customers during setup and after with: "Do you want to backup your device?" To which a considerable amount of people react to as "Yeah ofcourse I want that!"
2. Google does not show any indication where this backup goes or about the eventual payment so people just forget about it.
3. After some time their gmail and photos app will start to complain: "YOUR STORAGE IS FULL" - with constant notifications. And their Gmail stops working so they can't receive emails anymore.
4. These regular people confuse 'storage' with internal storage so they start looking for ways to expand their internal storage, which obviously doesn't do anything.
5. Eventually they give up and either pay google the ransom or make a new email.

This is the real dark pattern behind their "free cloud"

"You can't reason a person out of a situation they didn't use reason for to begin with" is a lesson everyone learns eventually...

I've always learned it comes from damaged hair cells inside the ear, how could it be anything but physical? Very surprised it can be picked up with a microphone in an anechoic chamber though

Credit = advertising? What a freebooting loser

I saw a post recently about how butterflies are always drawn like that, wings spread all the way out. That's only for dead/preserved specimens, in nature their wings are much more overlapped and I can't stop thinking about it

Listening to average person explain AI feels very similar to idiocracy explaining electrolytes

I loved the double down "if you let me make this point" followed by an ever increasing sound of boo's

Hah just like our demon, doesn't care for any traditional cat snacks. But start eating yoghurt and she'll come running. She doesn't even like yoghurt, she just wants to smell.

Has the political stance of the devs ever impacted lemmy in any way? From what I can tell they do a pretty good job isolating their views to their instance. Honestly apart from a few comments I rarely see any tankies.

I was in the hospital in 2015 and was talking to the person next to me. He realised I was in IT and as he turned his laptop to me he's like I can't seem to view websites anymore with toolbars up the wazoo. It was already a throwback even at that time

Edit: wording

Emulators are legal

With the caveat that an emulator cannot copy any copyrighted code to use in the emulation. They try to add as much proprietary code and encryption that it's nearly impossible to emulate without breaking the law.

It's scummy, but people have and will continue to find ways around it. But even the smallest of copyright infringements will result in Nintendo's wrath.

In a few years: "These unkempt forests are a real eyesore, what if we sell the land to private entities"

I was with you until: "[...] but it can also be heard by the examiner (eg, by placing a stethoscope over the patient's external auditory canal)." and now I'm even more confused

I've been in that situation countless times, I can tell you people want to believe the scientific method works but there's always a reason they don't. Here's a few reasons I've encountered:

• Eroding trust in institutions: they don't trust the organisations or the people doing the studies. IMO news cycles play a big role in this; a study with a catchy result "A glass of wine a day is actually good for you" - by itself already a misrepresentation of the results - gets all the headlines. The countless of studies that prove no amount is good for you doesn't get any.

• They believe science is a book of solid answers, while it's merely a methodology to find better answers. People have a hard time accepting this.

• Post-information age: every bit of human knowledge at our fingertips is a true monkey's paw. A real overload of information has people exhausted, they rather listen to someone like them than have big words thrown at them by scientists.

• Misrepresentation of data: I cannot stress enough how easy it is to misrepresent data. Without proper context any piece of data can be framed to fit a narrative. Studying statistics was so counter intuitive, you'll never be able to convince people going on instinct.

Honing in on where people get stuck can help you get through to them. I know this will sound corny, but if you talk to people from person to person, not being judgemental, and really try to listen, there's always room for change.

Stop deluding yourself what you're doing is decent, it's a malicious attempt to discredit artists original work. Asking someone to join your little crusade is a slap in their face, no matter how politely you ask.

Yeah I hate Rowlings antics as much as the next lemming, but I'll never understand why posts like these have no references. I don't even take them seriously, the burden of proof is on the poster, not the reader.

Every claim should come with a direct link or reference.

What a sore loser, git gud
