Everyone here thinking the reason they were dropped was because the quality turned to shit after the buyout, but the main reason is their continued presence operating in Russia after their thankfully failed attempt to annex Ukraine. I’m pleased the royals took a stand. Ultimately both are good reasons to drop them.

For me it’s this but with bonus features. That’s one of the real benefits of physical media. But then you get shitty situations like recently with Leon where the regular 4k edition comes with a special anniversary documentary but the ultra steelbook edition doesn’t… It’s just not right. If you plump for the best of the best edition you should absolutely rightly expect it to come with all the content and bells and whistles or at the very least match that of the regular edition.

What do you expect him to say and do? Resign because someone in another country got a job and you’re going to have to deal with them? This is what grownups do. They disagree and try to find common ground where possible even if it’s the thinnest strip of dirt, and you go from there. Where he went wrong was being super outspoken in the first place. Politicians should know better. As someone who will have to deal with foreign politicians all the time the last thing you do is slag them off, even if they’re in the opposition party and not actual currently in power.

Notepad++ and never look back.

Firefox needs to work on ensuring seamless compatibility with more websites, web apps and so on, because I’m personally very bored with my kids’ schools and related services sending out emails and forms with links that simply won’t open in FF but are clearly expecting Chrome or Edge where they work fine. Yes, this is on the lazy developers, but if FF want wider scale take-up outside of geeky niche groups then this is the stuff they must fix.

Replied to another poster as well, but this setting is present in my UK PayPal account too and needed turning off.

Incorrect. It’s in my UK PayPal account settings too and I turned it off.

Try turning up your media volume. Might be that the system is confusing this app’s audio for media instead of a true alarm.

Just in time for me to have already cancelled my Prime membership last month. I’ve also not purchased from Amazon at all since then. Plan working as intended?!

You could say this guy’s career took a real one-hunded-and-eighty!

Please tell me a simple, idiot-proof way to block YT ads on all devices incl. Mobiles, Shield etc. that doesn’t require something complex like piHole, works outside the home (family’s phones etc. ), and doesn’t risk blocking stuff it shouldn’t. That’s my trouble. Premium solves all of that, while bringing other small benefits. Maybe there’s a better way.

Why not just enable both? Have the control panel be available but more of a power user kind of thing, where the new Settings page is what gets pushed to the average user. Of course it’s more work to maintain both but last time I checked MS were doing alright for themselves and could probably afford it.

If the new dumb phones also came with Google Family Link for tracking then it would be a win. But they don’t. As a parent, having the ability to track my kids when I know they’re heading to or from somewhere is a big deal. And no, it’s not an issue of trust.

Trouble is, you’re basing all that on now, not a year from now, or 6 months from now. It’s too easy to look at it’s weaknesses today and extrapolate. I think people need to get real about coding and AI. Coding is language and rules. Machines can learn that enormously faster and more accurately than humans. The ones who survive will be those who can wield it as a tool for creativity. But if you think it won’t be capable of all the things it’s currently weak at you’re just kidding yourself unfortunately. It’ll be like anything else - a tool for an operator. Middlemen will be wiped out of the process, of course, but those with money remain those without time or expertise, and there will always be a place for people willing to step in at that point. But they won’t be coding. They’ll be designing and solving problems.

Shitrag news source is indeed implying this. It’s a totally different island. The state of news today.

Get your hands off my phalange!

I just wish there was a way to get it to handle processing of folder and file paths to your environment. They say it’s a security thing which I get, but my team is constantly sharing links to files and folders and it’s a PITA having to copy and paste the links into Explorer. If there was some way of making it work securely it would be a big productivity boost a d QOL improvement.

IMO as soon as the user adds at least one sub the app should set that by default anyway. Would reduce confusion.

The developer is responsible for putting ads in his app. Not saying I disagree with the sentiment behind your statement because it’s technically correct, but the developer has to take some degree of responsibility when they decide to open up their app to basically uncontrollable outside information being displayed to the users. Which is why ad-supported free versions of apps are a damned plague in my opinion. Would rather the free version was missing some functionality instead encouraging users to opt for Pro or Ultra. Unlocking features, not paying to remove ads that weren’t and aren’t on the Lemmy platform itself in the first place.
