I encounter this mostly with manga. (I’ll not rehash what others have said).
FWIW, and in that use case, I deal with it by renaming x5 to x5.0 so it will sort before x5.5. And then usually put both into an x5 directory and then zip that into a CBZ.
I assume all the bot farms are paying for the privilege.
So, the Internet of Shit is not just a euphemism now. Great…
To add to what others have replied, Amazon have an institutional belief that everyone who makes it through the Loop is better than 50% of existing staff.
It could be post-hoc rationalising of back-loaded share vesting, hire-to-fire, and their other many practices, but that’s the position. With that kind of thinking, it makes this behaviour, including it’s consequences, a no-brainer win:win to them.
Netiquette
Now there’s a term I’ve not seen in many years.
And dates both of us, I expect… 😄
Yeah, but also: you couldn’t be more wrong if you tried.
They’re going for the FX artists.
Agree. It’s definitely popcorn hour.
TIL that version appears to be on the AUR: MicroEMACS/PK 4.0.15 customized by Linus Torvalds.
Last updated in 2014, it probably has serious cobwebs now. Even the upstream hasn’t been touched in 6 years.
You appear not to have heard of Google Glass.
Hadn’t seen that before. Love it. 😄
This seems a reach. Podcasting (MP3 files distributed by an RSS feed) is platform agnostic.
To me, claiming that any platform is “killing” any demographic’s podcasting capability is screaming “I know absolutely nothing about podcasts”.
YMMV. 🤷🏽♂️
I think it’s the usual “it hasn’t impacted me personally, so how bad can it be” maintaining the status quo at all costs.
Once something happens that they care about, they’ll be on the Fediverse that day crowing loudly about how awful Xitter has suddenly become…
Parts of the Internet now only searchable on specific sites now? What next - charging a monthly subscription to use Google?
This needs to be regulated before the Internet becomes like streaming TV.
Had no idea about this. Very useful, thanks!
I second this, as it’s my use case.
Providing you lay out each note correctly with appropriate frontmatter, Dataview’s DQL and DataviewJS give you all the SQL-like functionality you could want.
Plus a load of useful functionality beyond a plain DB.
It is.
I’m sure you’ll be shocked to learn that their consistent advice was to call them so they could take it away to examine instead…
Here we go again.
I dealt with a few CSAM cases in previous jobs and there’s an oddity in UK law: if you even suspect there’s a CSA image - including regular nudes of someone under the age of consent - on a device, it is illegal for you to check.
By opening the image to determine what it is, you are prosecutable. (Not sure if anything has changed since, as this was nearly 10 years ago).
There are many, far better, ways to deal with this issue that don’t destroy relationships and futures.
One business dying is not the death of a media type, FFS.
I once wished for this, especially back in the days when there were next to no laws regarding it, but there’s zero chance as the money and attention has moved to it. There’s political capital in demonising online discourse.
Dunno why you’re getting down voted.
I visited Israel 10-odd years ago for work and I loved it. Beautiful country and people… if you ignore all the politics. As with the US.
What I hated while there was the demonisation of everything Palestinian. It’s like a cult: if you don’t agree, you’re one of them. (Get fucked).
