That seems to have become the new norm in entertainment journalism. They have one to four sentences of actual information (or in the case of release dates just „we still don’t know“), then add multiple pages of filler at the top so people get served as many ad impressions as possible. For good measure, add a fake comment section or recommendations at the bottom so people can’t just scroll down to the end of the page to find what they are looking for.
I have a decades old fridge that literally freezes my veggie drawer every two weeks. I‘m so close to throwing it out.
As far as I‘ve understood, „toxic mode“ only turns off some of the filters, not all.
Also:
- The dev‘s definition of toxic is far from my own
- Filtering belongs in the backend, not the fronted and should be configured by the instance admin and the individual user. We already have that in the form of moderation tools and blocks. If we wanted arbitrary third parties to dictate what we can see, we could have stayed on reddit.
They don’t ban you. The UI automatically hides certain instances, communities, users and posts. This is not officially documented and can’t be configured or turned off.
So in other words he spends weeks to write extra tests so that the agent can save him days of coding.
Historically accurate to what? The era it might have been written in? The era it might have been set in? We don’t know if the Odyssey was really written by Homer and when he would have lived (ca. 8th century BC, possibly earlier?) nor do we know if and when the Trojan War really happened (14th to 12th century BC?).
What we do know is that the Iliad and Odyssey are not accurate historical accounts but fantasy stories that are loosely based on events that may or may not have happened centuries before they were written down.
The answer is obvious: the pyramids are the tips of half-buried D8s.
Hundreds of cookies and a dozen filler paragraphs later, this is the only sentence that actually relates to the title:
Dread Central has also personally confirmed exclusively that Megan Fox will be returning.
No source, nothing. I would assume this is a clickbait rumor at best.
Wie ich es an anderer Stelle formuliert habe: für andere ist es ein Rücktritt, für Jens Spahn ist es Elternzeit.
Wenn ich raten müsste: ein KI-generiertes Bild (🤮) eines Kleinkinds das ein Bundesverdienstkreuz trägt, stellvertretend für den Sohn von Jens Spahn, der der Anlass für dessen Rücktritt ist.
Most movies are mixed for a theater surround sound system. Remixing them for tv speakers is usually not worth the effort. Dialogue usually sits on the center channel while effects and music are spread across left, right and surround channels. A tv with stereo speakers can‘t do much except mix all of that together and that makes it hard to hear the quieter parts.
If you watch a lot of movies, I recommend a soundbar or even better a 5.1 system. It’s expensive but it mostly solves those mixing problems.
I’d argue that shortened names aren’t pronouns. Like, “Bob” isn’t a pronoun after all. But that’s a cool idea nonetheless.
Counter-argument: the only two reasons why "Bob" isn't a pronoun are a) because English has other pronouns and b) because not every name has a form that's short enough to use in place of pronouns.
I would say it's fully plausible that a language develops proper pronouns (with case markings and everything else you would expect) based on a rule that works with any name. As an arbitrary example, a Robert, Robin, Ronald and Rocinante might all use roki for the nominative case, ros for the genitive case and ron for the accusative case. In the absence of other pronoun systems, that would be indistinguishable from what you imagine as pronouns. Add a few centuries of sound shifts and you get something really interesting.
