You could make a new filetype, default new versions to it, & not break compatibility. Wouldn’t do anything for existing workbooks, and keep xlsx an option, but “it would break compatibility” is not a be-all end-all argument against this.
I thought they disabled sending mobi files last August? As in, August 2022? Did they postpone it?
Huh? Didn’t they start this like last month? Or is this not the “get money from your contributions” thing?
holy shit, I’ve been reading this url as “sh, it just works” for MONTHS and was super ??? about what it meant. I only just now realized it’s “shit just works” and…oh. that makes a lot of sense.
For anyone who was confused by what “vote to propose” means:
If the FCC issues the notice as expected on October 19th, the next steps would be a public comment phase followed by issuance of a final rule. This process could result in a final rule restoring net neutrality requirements around spring of 2024.
I’d do it if you could leave fully anonymous reviews. But I’m not about to review products with my real name attached to them, even if it’s just first name.
yeah sounds like an a11y nightmare, now every thumbnail will look like a youtube thumbnail with block letter all-caps words over it
We used to rent movies every weekend when I was a kid, and we supported our local video rental store instead of Blockbuster. It was so much fun to decide what to rent! The staff there always knew so much about movies too, and we’d follow their recs often. We watched a bunch of classics and silent films that there’s no way would get visibility on streaming libraries today. I wish I’d kept a journal of all the movies we watched, I remember almost no titles now.
huh, whatever that is, doesn’t federate to kbin
do you use the swiping function of it? I’ve found that to be TERRIBLE at “prediction based on context” e.g. understanding if I want “if” or “of” it does the one that doesn’t make sense in context. and it doesn’t understand that if I type a word, and then delete it and retype it, maybe it should give me something different the 2nd time around (particularly irritating for if/of).
so I totally get your point. For example, a therapy group that says, “this is a free speech area” and has 8 members who are all queer, would probably not mean it as a dogwhistle, and in that case, it also probably would not be one. But also, they wouldn’t be saying it to anyone other than those 8 members.
The thing is, in this case it legit does not matter the intent, they are saying it on a public chat forum. That makes it a dogwhistle regardless of intentionality, and it will be recognized as such, because if you say that on a public platform on the internet, guess who will hear it.
And now no matter what their intention is, if they didn’t want it to be a dogwhistle, it was one, and now their moderation is 10000x as difficult, because look who they’ve attracted the attention of now - and chased away.
I’d argue, it’s always a dogwhistle. You might not realize you’re using a dogwhistle, but you definitely are.
In other words, “free speech platform” is not actually “free speech platform,” rather it is a dogwhistle.
just wait, reddit is 100% going to sunset old.reddit within the next year
It’s pretty bad because you need to write for multilingual readers, who may not understand the colloquialism “were just that” & can have a difficult time parsing what the pronoun “that” refers to in such a nonstandard and nonlinear sentence.
If this sentence were part of a novel that already has elaborate prose, it would be fine, but in something designed to inform people on the internet you have to keep in mind how varied your audience is.
