I agree but how is the bottom image so deep fried that the white text has become yellowed by being left in the sun

It’s proposed, but yes

it prohibits Google from paying to make its search engine the default for third parties, causing pain not just for Alphabet but for others.

Google pays billions annually to Apple and Mozilla to remain the default search engine in Safari and Firefox.

It’s also a business decision. Many times companies will massage their verbiage and have a plan in place before they even change the status to “investigating” simply to appease when they have SLAs. It’s stupid, but that’s often the reason.

Got it, thanks for the explanation

My only real gripe with the matrix trilogy is where Neo can “see” agent smith in Bane’s body and “see” all the machines at the machine city. It didn’t need that over the top messiah thing when he was already the messiah simply because of his power within the matrix.

And if the idea is “the real world is also a simulation, made to convince humans they were free” it sort of goes against all the monologuing that smith and the architect do about how humans rebelled against versions of the matrix in which they were free

3 is in release candidate. Yeah I think many of the UI changes have been incremental over 2.x versions so it’s definitely not “2.9 looks completely different from 3.0”

That’s hard mode, the trick is to be handed a fortune when you’re born and then live your life with a psychopathic lust for power

Rather than trying to be different for the sake of being different, they’ve realized that photoshop and similar UIs actually make for pretty great UX so they’ve adopted it.

TLDR

This was gimp 2.0 when it came out

This is GIMP 3.0 RC

Well SOAP is inherently evil so that just makes sense

Her website is a website though

The blog software she uses allows sending newsletters

Said newsletters are recaps

I agree that 99.9% of newsletters are just spam, but in this very specific instance she’s discussing the pricing of using publishing/newsletter services vs self hosting. Pretty much no spammer will go through the effort of self hosting

I think I’d be worried about absolutely destroying my ankles, but knees are a close second
