I haven't been able to bring myself to watch it, yet. I might very well be seen as unnecessarily emotional about a work of fiction, but the subject matter seems to rally a lot of concepts that affect me deeply (despite having no specific reason to suffer such empathies).
For those that don't give a flying {word of choice}, MSM = mainstream media, i think. I looked it up today, and I have apparently been correctly ignoring content containing it. Given the quality of comments typically containing it, I had long assumed it was a vulgar/sexual thing.
Blast from the past... I had never really read much into their relationship, but I guess Spyglass licensed Mosaic code and trademark from NCSA, but went on to develop their own codebase, which was in turn licensed to Microsoft. Microsoft seems to have come out rather well in that deal, all in all, despite having been sued (and a resulting settlement of 8 million USD on top of the initial 2 million) in the process.
Indeed, you can actually route your host OS through a VM and essentially prevent it from accessing the outside world directly. pfSense is what I've primarily used, but there are plenty of other solutions. Can also pass through a USB WiFi device (and possibly even the machine's internal card, if it's implemented via USB, which many are) if you're so inclined.
How would a reflector have saved her from a person who wasn't even looking at the road?
Kind of grasping at straws here, but the thinking is probably that the glint of reflectors (especially intermittently from moving wheel reflectors) might have been noticeable at a much greater distance (and possibly during one of those periods of the driver paying attention to the road.
For some reason, and I do know what they are, I keep half-expecting "mating season" anecdotes in reference to the zebra crossings in this comments section.
While I was driving down a residential street, I had a child on a bicycle come flying down from a highly sloped sidewalk-street interface... got about half way into the lane before stopping; fortunately, I saw it coming a mile away (kid well ahead of pack, paying attention to nothing but what was immediately ahead) and I was already slowing/in the other lane (oncoming!)... be careful about letting your children ride fixies unattended... (i'd have footage of this, but my dashcam had glitched and was recording a ~45 second loop for some reason... so also, one should periodically verify proper function of such things)
One of the earlier ones to support a proper alpha channel, unless I'm seriously misinformed. Don't recall if it was in the original spec, but this aspect of TGA was handy for getting renders out of ancient software (Asymetrix Web3D or 3Dfx, don't ask), in a format that could be used with very little further work.
I'll turn it off completely once this problem is dealt with. The prior sentence can also be read "I'm not turning off ad blocker, because they won't likely fix this within my lifetime".
Cases like his are why I go to lengths to kick myself in the ass and bootstrap every day, even when I feel I would normally just shrivel up and rot away... a lot to live up to. (context: historically an anxiety/depression sufferer)
I'm on 45.9.0 ESR for most of my productive purposes (with the necessary blocking plugins, of course), PM for most everything "fun" and/or where security might be of concern. However, I'll probably beat 52 into shape sometime soon as 45 is a bit... crusty. This is an easily identified case of "the new version simply cannot fulfill my needs". I understand a desire to simplify, but you know, a car doesn't technically need 4 wheels, doors, windows, seatbelts, etc... but they definitely make it a lot more useful. Going full WebExtensions was/is a horrible misstep, in my (obviously very humble) opinion. You never go full WebExtensions.
Yep. (sorry for the substance-void comment, but I don't have much else to add on the topic... privacy policies and corporate responsibility for the behaviors of these things seem to need a bit of work)
Meant to reply sooner, but the/. was borked (all the 503s)... for lack of a better term, I chose 'uncanny valley' to be an analog between realism in robots and realism/immersion in VR. For myself, I feel like we're starting the uphill climb on the far side of the valley. If someone has a better term (or explanation for a lack thereof), I'm open.

You can turn off 'smart' punctuation on the iThings, and I highly recommend it.
Something to do with a minecraft, I think.
How would you interact with said device?
If I attach it to my body with 30 rolls of gaffer tape, what then?
Or, do your part in reducing e-waste and improve your experience by buying a 3-5 year old laptop of much higher specification for ~$150.

Middle ground: if it actually only affects the person pressing it, everyone wins.

I think this fellow is living confirmation of the fact; no test needed.

As others have noted, 'intelligence' would've been a better term than IQ, for various reasons.
And with that, the average IQ of the human species dropped a few points :.(

All the things that should've been added using a robust plugin system, ... RIP XUL

Nah, I just enjoy taking a cheap swipe at ACs sometimes... nothing personal.

It's an update that breaks a bunch of stuff, and resets a huge swath of your settings... at least that's been my experience to date.
