I do find it interesting/funny that Google felt the need to actually provide this, as a sort of acknowledgement that their main search “results” page is so full of random info boxes and generated content that people can’t find actual links anymore.

Personally, and In principle at least, this makes sense. About half of my web searches are looking for a quick answer to a question (what’s the per pound cook time for a frozen turkey?), so having that answer highlighted and summarized alongside the source is very useful. It’s actually the minority of the time that what I really want is a link to an external resource.

The effectiveness of that implementation and the accuracy of the summarized info is a whole other topic…

I think their point was that unless 100% of men are contributing to a problem, the problem clearly doesn’t exist, no matter how many women experience it.

Wait, what? Was this some kind of meta game people played, or just some weird compulsion like having to have the volume set to multiples of five?

Ha! It took me a minute too to realize that having to google WTF a skibidi toilet is was the Millennial test, not being expected to know it.

Finally, a sterotype of “millennial” that recognizes we kinda be old now!

Begrudgingly given in.

Good fully wireless ear buds are truly an amazing convenience, but I value having flexibility and redundancy in my hardware more than having a slightly sleeker form factor. Thay includes things like removable battery, SD card slot, etc. Unfortunately, the market has spoken, and keeping those features limits you to a more and more niche selection every year. By now the tradeoff just isn’t worth it to me.

As far as USB dongles, I seem to have enough problems with USB-C ports becoming loose or flaky for charging that I avoid using them except when necessary. Wireless chargers abound in my house.

Has it paid off well?

I actually liked the wafers.

Mostly because we usually had breakfast after mass, so I was hungry as hell by the time communion came around, but also because it meant it was almost over.

Your mother in law is a real one. Hopefully this answers some questions!

This post is a thing of beauty

There are two types of people in the world: People who pick their nose, and liars.

Seriously though, slowly pulling out one of those boogers that tickles your brain is a unique joy.

Not mathematician.

Cool.

It’s a huge success in note-making.

This is sub-facebook quality.

Is this your first time in an “unpopular opinion” thread? lol

On the one hand, that just sounds like deconstructed egg salad.

On the other hand it sounds gross and weird in practice, so I think this fits.

I googled “song lyrics interpretation” and got several decent looking results. Was there something specific you’re looking for that doesn’t exist?

Right? As long as there are no crayons jammed in the disc slot, game on!

I mean, I would definitely give the kids a talk about not drawing on things that are not meant to be drawn on, but better this than the TV or something.

Ultra HDR is a new image format available with Android 14 on supported devices & camera. Basically it’s a JPEG image but some additional data added to it when captured on supported devices. With ultra HDR, images can have darker shadows and brighter highlights.

I thought the same thing at first, but it sounds like it is just that you can now view the “Ultra HDR”-ness within the app.

Also,

Google Messages doesn’t strip the gain map metadata from images

Maybe I’m getting whooshing here, but they are organelles, nor organites… no?

I upvote interrobang usage reflexively.
