The mac comes with 256 GB though, and 256 > 1

Support for M1 and M2 is pretty good now but M3 is not quite there yet and it’ll probably be years before everything works nicely on M4, sadly

Just start wearing a “make fascists afraid again” hat and let him do the escalation (or something more subtle if necessary in your workplace)

Don’t worry, people here yell at you for not using profane language because “you can swear on the internet”, they’re a weird bunch.

Sure, I agree

Agreed with the privacy concerns but

So, 15s saved per person. Which is handy, but 25 seconds fits squarely in the “blazing fast” category anyway.

This is huge when there are five 787s worth of people in line for ten passport control machines, it’s the difference between waiting half an hour in line or five minutes.

It is the standard means of passport control in Europe and UK, just with the passport added, but all by machine. Once they are convinced the biometrics are good enough they’ll do this too to speed things up.

Paris has pretty good food but it’s below average for France, the south is where it’s at.

Another Brexit success story

the increasing commercialisation pressure leading to the dismantling of cold-war era institutions

Another thing achieved at gunpoint (or rather nuclear-warhead-point).

Also, it’s not prejudicial if I’m judging you on your actual words.

The point I’m making is that it’s naïve to think that legal mandate has so much less a power to influence people than social pressure, ideology, marketing etc.

That’s why Coca-Cola are more powerful than most governments.

lmao.

What an embarrassing thing to say. I’m sure you think you’re very smart, using a diaeresis, but stop and think about what you’re actually saying for a minute longer.

If it doesn’t become clear to you, no, social pressure is not stronger than physical coercion with the threat of death from a police force nearly indistinguishable from the army.

And the thing about Coca-Cola is a complete non sequitur. It’s possible that they are more powerful than many governments because they have unfathomable amounts of money and most countries are tiny with only a few million poor inhabitants, but it’s got nothing to do with marketing.

They’re different because on Lemmy they’re called comms ;)

Yeah cos it’s real lucky when you’re not paying attention and light the filter end

“like” needs an object for the comparison. Something can’t just “look like”, it has to look like something. “What” is an indirect reference to an object so you can say what it looks like.

“How” is a reference to an adjective or a description, so it doesn’t need another word to make it a comparison. How does the cave look? It looks terrifying.

I loved it so much at the time, but bits of it have aged very poorly (and probably should’ve been criticised back then too, like the full on blackface…)

What do you mean how would that work? Polar bear habitat is declared national park, inhabitants get assistance moving elsewhere. Extremely expensive? Yes. Complicated? Not really.

I get that people aren’t gonna go for this, but I stand by the position that it would be the ethically correct thing, and we should be honest with ourselves that we are compromising on that.

I wouldn’t say it’s sufficient justification, to be honest. I guess it depends on the population to some degree. But since we caused this problem, I would say moving even a whole village out of polar bear habitat is worth the cost of shooting even one, and we can suppose there will be more to come. I think we have a responsibility to get the hell out of their space, even at a huge cost to us.

“animal intelligence”

Ahaha, I almost believed you that that was the real name of the town, but mer is feminine
