@ifixcoinops @ghostdancer yeah, but the US cup is 250 mL and the UK cup is "whatever holds liquid and is in the cupboard"

No matter how you may feel about fingerprint scanners on phones... this is a very impressive #PinePhone mod!

@mattl is Johnny 5 still alive?
@cstanhope do you dream of electric sheep?
@LeoSammallahti the coop model handles that (in at least some cases), if I understand you correctly. Not sure that a government run initiative would be more effective; too often the income gets reallocated in ways that are counter to the initial goal.
If you find an example of that working, though, I'd be very interested!
@LeoSammallahti it is a combination of people paying market rates, along with those that qualify for subsidized housing. What's the goal of the public housing you envision?

There may already be some in your community. If not, consider starting one! A lot of work, but valuable and rewarding.

@tobiasfdl contribute to https://www.opensubtitles.org/ then use a supported player to use them automatically
@isagalaev @ehashman have you watched "The Phantom Edit"? Much less Jar-jar, and generally less cringey.
@mhoye at a guess, the Lost in Orbit, Metal Head, and Wicked Awesome? All count as junk mail. (j/k. Not an IPA fan). Equilibrium and Cheeky Bastard are more my taste.

Oh, HP, never change.
First you tricked people with a fake "security update," that blocked cheap ink, then you invented rented ink, and now
you've redefined "free ink for life" to mean "$0.99/month, forever, or else."

Apple's anti-repair tactics on the new iPhone 12: https://youtu.be/FY7DtKMBxBw
Genuine parts swapped between brand new iPhone 12s won't work properly until swapped back.
Most likely explanation: Apple intentionally ensuring no one can self-repair or use a third party service. Not a new MO for them by any means.
Despicable behavior. Remember this source of e-waste when Apple pretends to care about the environment.

And here's the sting in the tail: if you opt for "Amazon exclusive," you are locked in for SEVEN YEARS. Amazon silently made the switch to "no hassle returns" and clawed back half its creators' money, with no chance to opt out.
Amazon gets to change its deal with creators when it wants to, but the creators don't get to change their deal with Amazon. For seven years after they spend thousands to produce their own audiobooks, they are locked to Amazon, regardless of Amazon's policy changes.

To #Google users: you can lose all your Google accounts if Google decides so. There won't be any trial, and no option for appeal.
That's privately-held fascism in some way.

@mhoye how about including those in a 'tip of the day' format, or a useful changelog as features roll out in new versions? The list was already long enough that I started to skim half-way, even though they seem useful.
