Thank you for trying to help, I don’t know what 80% of that means or how it relates to an update.

I just don’t understand why there isn’t a simple straightforward update in plain English

I don’t remember the last time I used a phone book. There have been better ways to get a number for a long time.

Think it must be at least 30years ago.

It’s impossible to prove that anyone else or anything else exists. It’s also impossible to know whether my brain is deceiving me.

I’d say companies THINK they will make more money. That might be true with big, complex software that can be sold as a service that people will use (Photoshop, Windows, Office etc) or services that offer a lot (like the original version of Netflix or Amazon Prime)

But it’s not true for things you can take or leave. (Such as most mobile apps which now have to really on sales to boost conversion rates from Free tier to subscription).

Then you also have the issue of a fragmented market so even previously successful services like Prime are looking to get more money by adding extra costs (eg Prime Video will have adverts from the summer unless you pay $40 extra per year as a new top up subscription)

So it’s more of a theoretical reliable income.

Actually it’s not compatible with the new authentication method in Lemmy 0.19 so as soon as that rolls out to your instance you’ll not be able to log in and there will be missing posts and problems with the list of communities.

Some instances have already upgraded.

As well as the medical effects, there’s also the realisation (age varies when this happens) that going out in order to get drunk is not a good time.

I hadn’t noticed them before, but if you take a screenshot and zoom in a little you can see them. Once you’ve seen them you can’t avoid them. I’m not sure I would say they are jagged more like extra pixels. (iPhone 12)

There’s lots of reasons including psychology.

When you listen to Radio you generally don’t know what songs will be played unless the DJ teases what’s coming. When they tease it’s always something that the vast majority will like.

So with radio you have the anticipation factor which helps bridge the advert gap (if the station plays adverts in between tracks)

When you listen to radio you are often distracted or doing something else.

If you put in an album then you now exactly what order the tracks will be and unless you skip tracks will inevitably have some that are fillers. Also, you are more likely to concentrate on the music which involves more thinking. All of this leads to boredom or fatigue.

The bit that thinks is in my head feels to be at the front. But it knows that my heart is equally important. So I feel that I am my head and my body.

People who have lost a limb say they feel like they’ve lost a part of themselves not just physically but in their sense of wholeness.

From reading the articles it seems many children were collected but of course they also complained to the school board about the disruption.

As far as I understand it, there is an API but as with all APIs you need a key/license/magic number to use it.

So far, Google has allowed access to Samsung, a carrier version and no one else.
