I honestly don't know if he meant that as a joke or an advert.

Their app and website are both atrocious. I've got a rant somewhere on Lemmy about once time it made me scream with impotent rage over the UX experience, and I'm someone comfortable with editing the DOM/scripting to fix the worst of it.

I'd assumed they believe in reincarnation (or the boring typo explanation), but I like your reason better.

I'm surprised that this is a genuine answer, I was expecting something else with a product name like that.

Are they allowed to put jokes in legal documents like this? (I know it's gone now)

Slapping palms as a form of greeting a friend and then holding their hand as you pull your fingers back until it makes a snapping sound.

Thank you, Urban Dictionary!

The author's unique approach to capitalisation and spacing really makes this.

I had to check, but the real thing is the Dairy Council and this is a parody account. Obviously it's way more interesting than the real @dairyuk account.

You're claiming that Generative AI isn't AI? Weird claim. It's not AGI, but it's definitely under the umbrella of the term "AI", and at the more advanced end (compared to e.g. video game AI).

4 out of 4, which seems a slightly unintuitive scale

Finally, there’s a level 4 sting, which is as bad as it can get. Schmidt knows of only three critters capable of inflicting level-4 suffering: the warrior wasp (Synoeca septentrionalis), a two-and-a-half-inch-long black bug found in the tropics; the bullet ant (Paraponera clavata), also tropical; and the tarantula hawk (genus Pepsis), two inches long, which Schmidt can find in his yard in Tucson.

-- The Straight Dope

btw, this image is a legit snippet from the wikipedia page Schmidt sting pain index although it doesn't make clear that Schmidt didn't get stung on purpose for science.

Obligatory mention that Firefox Mobile supports plugins like uBlock Origin. You don't have to suffer this rubbish!

I used to think typos meant that the author (and/or editor) hadn't checked what they wrote, so the article was likely poor quality and less trustworthy. Now I'm reassured that it's a human behind it and not a glorified word-prediction algorithm.

How To Backup Your Data From Reddit (danielrosehill.medium.com)
submitted 1 year ago by Deebster@lemmy.ml to c/reddit@lemmy.ml

TL;DR: Request it at https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request

It's only about the CSV files you get, it doesn't cover e.g. the images you've uploaded.

I've had a subscription to PS Plus for years now but rarely look at the games (I need to get an external drive or be less hesitant to delete stuff).

What hidden gems are there in the backlog? I have a PS4 by the way, but I think the PS5 is too new to have hidden gems.
