Of course they do, better than ever actually. Google OpenType ligatures, for example. You can even use those on the web using CSS.

Some fonts have hundreds of different ligatures.

Both are broken as far as I know. First one hasn’t updated for years, and recent reviews for the second one claim it crashes on startup.

Are there any good iOS Tor browsers? All that I’ve seen are either shit or require some insane subscription.

I don’t understand how Chinese room is a valuable argument. To me, while the person inside the room doesn’t understand Chinese, the system room-person-instructions does. You don’t argue that you don’t understand your language because none of your individual neurons understand it.

I don’t claim that chatGPT “understands” the language, I just don’t think that this argument applies in general.

Idk, that’s more of a “not yet finished” thing rather than “failed” imo

Why do you feel like matrix has failed? I joined it recently and to me it looks like it’s kinda growing.

Texas charges prisoners for water? What the fuck, how is this even remotely legal?

No one is going to post news/articles here and then discuss them as they would in a regular post. It won’t get bumped up on the subscribed page if something interesting happens. Most of the comments here are going be about the megathread itself.

So this is effectively banning all the discussion concerning all of his companies. Which might be something you want to do, every community can decide for itself what kind of stuff they want to forbid after all. But I feel like it should be said directly, not via making a catch-all megathread.

I read the article and I still don’t really understand how exactly it’s supposed to work. I guess it can detect some deformation within the cable, but is this deformation guaranteed when a leak has occurred?

Does it give false positives or false negatives, and how often? Would different placement along the pipe matter? And is there some measurement besides “the cable has slightly deformed somewhere”? Like, is there a way to find the location of the leak, for example, or should the pipe be checked along the whole length of the cable between detectors?

They do, and here I was going to add “but they’re a bit less fun”, but after reading the wiki article I’m not sure.

Due to their effects and symptoms, Datura species have occasionally been used not only as poisons, but also as hallucinogens by various groups throughout history. Traditionally, their psychoactive administration has often been associated with witchcraft and sorcery or similar practices in many cultures, including the Western world. Certain common Datura species have also been used ritualistically as entheogens by some Native American groups.

When I was a kid, I spent a few summers living nearby a sunflower field. At the end of the season, snatching a flower with some friends and munching on those seeds was the best thing ever :)

We would often roast them over a bonfire holding the flower by its stem.

It shouldn’t be weird. But since it has been weird in the past, it now has to be weird for a little longer to stop being weird in the future.

Treat it something normal and destigmatized and it will soon become that.

How many people do you usually have in your bed?

You weren’t lying :)
Is there an /AccidentalWesAnderson somewhere within the Fediverse?

I think that expanding it to allow for custom blocking patterns will make it more appealing in general. Like being able to add your rich_person_of_choice to the list or the ability to block a company (Meta anyone?) might both be useful features.

Not sure if it fits your plans though or how hard it’s going to be to implement.

Btw, what’s the current judicial status of exit nodes around the world? Why was he charged, yet the isp wasn’t? Would the isp be charged if it ran a similar exit node, or is it strictly because it was a private entity?

I saw this article posted in another thread and it seems to explain a lot. Not sure how close it is to reality, but it looks like nostalgia is at least a partial reason for this change.

Yep. Fucking nostalgia.

Exactly! “I won’t allow for redeeming qualities on my platform!”

I mean, they’ve been using the first one in the middle row for a while now for their media relations communications. Albeit from a different angle. They should probably go with that.

Yeah, that second sentence has such a weird wording. It either was like slamming a vending machine into a stadium, or it was slamming an X-sized spacecraft into a Y-sized space rock. Why have that “like” there?
