The Google app is often used as a web browser by the tech-illiterate.

It even has tabs.

This is how my grandparents use it.

Ha, I see.

Yeah, sarcasm over text forums is sometimes difficult to pick up on.

To be clear, the right of free speech given in the first amendment is the right to express any opinion without fear of repercussions.

There is no inherent right that your opinions must be given a platform, or that any particular platform has the right to exist.

The first amendment is entirely orthogonal to the question of whether or not TikTok should be allowed to operate in the US.

The EU gave Google an option: pay or take down the content. The latter option was a bluff, and Google called them on it.

I don't think this will hurt Google at all.

But it will certainly drive less traffic to these news sites if they are banned from Google. And that will hurt the news sites.

EU: You have to pay to show our news.

Google: Ok. We won't show your news.

EU: Pikachu face

I mean, they don't have to release the source code. A compiled version would be fine.

it's unrealistic to assume it would exist forever.

Older multiplayer games would let you self-host the server, long before the current trend.

Ubisoft doesn't have to continue to host servers. They just have to release the server code. Zero cost to them.

So, I'd argue that "frontend" and "backend" are the default modes of software engineering these days, and that embedded is a more niche field.

That said, if you're doing encryption code, you're doing far more advanced math than backend monitoring and alerting.

 

On my "subscribed" page, if I scroll down, the app crashes. Not sure of anything more than that. But it's definitely repeatable for me.

TL;DR

  • Canada plays in Toronto on June 12 and Vancouver on June 18 and June 24.

  • USA plays in LA on June 12 and June 25 and Seattle on June 19.

  • Mexico plays in Mexico City on June 11 and June 24 and Guadalajara on June 18.

  • Semifinals in Dallas and Atlanta. Bronze Final in Miami. Final in NYC.

The article has a nice graphic schedule you can download if you want to plan travel to specific cities. Groups have not been drawn yet, so we only know USA, CAN, and MEX.

GBoard (Google's keyboard for Android) has a GIF entry feature.

Sync properly uploads the GIF from GBoard to my Lemmy instance, but the GIF does not play in the comments, and clicking on it returns an error "image was actually a web page!"

For the record, they're not technically GIFs. GBoard uploads the image as WebM.

This seems like a user journey that should be supported. Android users who use Google's keyboard to input a GIF comment would expect it to work or throw an error at upload time. Instead, Sync allows us to submit such comments, but they are broken upon viewing.

Do people intentionally disconnect mid battle?

I've seen a ton of DCs, both early in the game and late.

It really hurts my enjoyment of the game. Like, even if we're getting smoked, I'd rather stick around and work as a team to the end. I mean, it's only a couple minutes. And a DC counts as a loss anyway.

It's really frustrating to see all of these DCs. Are people really rage quitting, or is it just bad networking?

Edit: I just got Splatoon 3 for Christmas, but I'm a veteran of the series. Rage quitting did not seem to be as big of a problem in the previous two games.

A recent study highlights the health benefits of particular plants closing and generally reducing exposure to fossil fuels, researchers say.

The judge is required to follow the jury’s decision. Here’s what to know.

A federal jury on Wednesday condemned to death the gunman who killed 11 worshipers at a Pittsburgh synagogue in October 2018, in what is considered the deadliest antisemitic attack in American history.

The jury’s decision, which is binding on the judge, was announced Wednesday in the same federal courtroom where the jurors in June convicted the gunman, Robert Bowers, 50, of carrying out the massacre during sabbath services nearly five years ago. The judge will formally impose the sentence at a hearing on Thursday morning, when families of some victims are expected to address the court.

In a statement, the family of two victims — Rose Mallinger, a 97-year-old member of the Tree of Life congregation who was killed in the attack, and Andrea Wedner, her daughter, who was wounded — thanked the jury. “Although we will never attain closure from the loss of our beloved Rose Mallinger, we now feel a measure of justice has been served,” the statement read.

Jurors deliberated for just under 10 hours before reaching the verdict.
