Yes the word for cat is “chat” but the word for chat, in the online sense is also “chat” and it’s pronounced like the English word. It should also be capitalised because it’s a proper noun, eliminating the ambiguity that may exist.

IMO switching to Linux as a new user is no harder than switching from Windows to Mac, which I think is something more people can identify with and aren’t afraid of, for the most part.

Those sellers post their stuff on every marketplace they can, and just fulfill it through their Amazon store. Ebay, Etsy, Walmart, Best Buy, etc, are all full of Amazon sellers.

The issue is not whether people are willing to do it, but whether they should be allowed to.

I can’t think of any situation where disallowing people from repairing their own property makes any sense. The only ones it makes sense to are the ones who profit from it.

I work for a company that uses NDAs, though I am not under one. Some of the things covered are our designs, our suppliers, and the names of our customers.

It grew because it was the only platform that did it.

If you want views, you have to go where the viewers are. Current alternatives are sorely lacking.

If you want the smaller platforms to grow, you do need to post there, but ignoring the existing giant won’t get you seen unfortunately. At the very least, you should do both.

So… how long does it take before a company stops being called a startup?

People are on Facebook because that’s where everyone already is. They won’t leave because then they lose contact with all those people.

That was my point. The comment I was replying to was suggesting that people switching from Spotify will be blown away by better quality audio. Most wouldn’t notice a difference.

Most people can’t tell the difference between 128 kbit MP3 and high quality recordings.

Honestly, 5 years ago Proton was already in pretty good shape. 2018 is when I switched to Linux, and already had very little trouble gaming.

I’m pretty sure other scientists are also looking into that issueas well.

Of course you were told that.

An alternative to.space junk clogging up the sky would indeed be nice.

I hate the fan buffeting noise, and would be happy to have a fan that doesn’t do that. Not $500 happy, mind you.

Fill them with farts and then pass them around to friends.

Voyager I and II are probes, not ships.

The article mentions another display with a 33 Hz refresh rate. But be aware that there would be significant ghosting even just scrolling a page of text, more so than even a measly 33 Hz refresh rate would lead you to believe.

It doesn’t do it natively, but it does have plugins for CAD features
