You misspelled ‘I cannot answer your question’

That’s the rough timescale, yup.

I got a few bits of malware when my kids were about 10 and went few a phase of clicking on ‘free game’ links. MalwareBytes always managed to clear up the stuff - classified as annoyances.

The free version is fine.

And where exactly have I done that?

It’s not a double standard, it’s a recognition that a woman is far more likely to end up physically injured than a man.

It’s rather like complaining that certain hiking sites warn against hypothermia when you view them in winter, but not summer. People can still die of hypothermia in summer

Don;t mention Minecraft. You implemented and adminstered a MYSQL database system which supported N concurrent users and Y transactions per minute with 99.xxx uptime over Z years, you also developed a custom front-end etc etc

Render distance would be reduced requiring us to come up with plausible theories to account for the fact that there is a limit to the size of the so-called ‘observable universe’

The thing I find interesting is how the mixing of less and fewer, is broadly accepted, whereas nobody tends to use ‘much’ and ‘many’ interchangeably.

I’m not quite sure why much/many is do conserved when fewer/less isn’t.

It is also a tool to allow common understanding between a diverse group of people. I’m not saying that less/fewer is an important rule. However ‘anything goes’ is going to have an impact on people’s understanding of bothe you and your message

Because they aren’t the same quality? Lossy compression is lossy

Not paywalled for me perhaps it wasn’t for OP.

There was a fashion about 30 years ago in the UK to convert old-style rotary phones so they worked with DTMF touch tones. I had a rather excellent original candle-stick style phone. Got lost in a move somewhere. Retro is always cool

That failure example puts something in my hind-brain into fight-or-flight mode - mainly flight.

Saying ‘corporations are going to do what they want regardless, there’s no point wore about it’, is a very useful counsel of despair for them.

Is this one of the services that you supply absolutely all your personal details to, to keep your personal details private?

Almost the definition of celebs is that significant numbers of people find them interesting. They may not be my favourite thing, but views differ

Why are you reading Gamespot if you wanyt analyis of geopolitics?

I really don’t see that. You’ve got 3 million users who are happy using the platform- if it were me I certainly wouldn’t turn on federation for them without asking.

I’d probably have a process that initially

1. Make federation opt-in for existing users
2. Make federation an opt-in during onboarding of new users
3. Start promoting Turing federation on for existing users
4. Make federation the default for new users

Seems like a reasonable way to soft-launch federation to me.

Sorry - what’s uncanny? The projected eyes to the external observer?
