That point absolutely still stands.
It's just strange that since the 4a, the 2 smallest phones Google released were both not in the a series.

The only A series Pixel phone smaller than the Pixel 8 was the Pixel 4a.

They also usually assume a lot about the users' knowledge of the domain of the program itself.

In my experience, many programs' man/help is very brief, often a sentence or less per command/flag, with 2 or more terms that don't mean anything to the uninitiated. Also, even when I think I know all the words, the descriptions are not nearly precise enough to confidently infer what exactly the program is going to do.
Disclaimers for potentially dangerous/irreversible actions are also often lacking.

Which is why I almost always look for an article that explains a command using examples, instead of trying to divine what the manual authors had in mind.

win + space to switch between keyboard languages
win + tab to open the desktop switcher
win + ctrl + t (if you have PowerToys installed) to prevent other apps from stealing focus from your window

I use the tiles to "pin" programs that I use semi-regularly and can't be bothered remembering the name of. Or that share an inconveniently long prefix with the name of another program. Or that I have multiple versions of installed, with a specific version I usually need.

I don't like pinning such programs to the task bar because they add unnecessary clutter while not in use.

It does and you can safely ignore us.
Just two pendants nitpicking people's spelling on the internet.

!corsicanguppy appeared to imply your spelling of "till" to be incorrect and that the "correct" spelling is "'til". I pointed them to a dictionary describing the word with the spelling you used and the meaning you intended.
Both comments are inconsequential to your point, and to anything, really.!<

According to a different source shared by @giriinthejungle, the attorney who has taken the case is suing the entire operating unit and expects whoever instructed the girl to drill the hole to be liable for assault. That is also the estimation of the chief regional patient attorney, provided the incident happened as reported by the media.

The neurosurgeon as well as one other doctor have already been let go by the hospital.
Police have not yet charged anyone, their investigation is still ongoing as of the time of the article (2024-08-26).

Absolutely. This game had so much more potential than was realized.

On "the actual environment/background is not made of Lego" complaint: while Bricktales looks neat, its "environment/background" is tiny.
For anyone interested in a more Minecraft+LEGO experience, with an actual world made entirely of LEGO that you can interact with, check out LEGO Worlds. (currently 80% off on steam)

That's quite interesting.

Although it would need access to an already configured and fully functional environment to actually run this.
I don't think we're quite at the point yet where it's able to find the correct script, pass it to the appropriate environment and report the correct answer back to the user.
And I would expect that when integration with external systems like compilers/interpreters is added, extra care would be taken to limit the allocated resources.

Also, when it does become capable of running code itself, how do you know, for a particular prompt, what it ran or if it ran anything at all, and whether it reported the correct answer?

 

On posts that I access through my home instance, i.e. any post present in the "Your local instance" feed, nothing appears in the comments section apart from the message "There are no comments", despite the UI suggesting that there are several.

When accessing the post's permalink in the web UI of the instance, the comments show up without issue, even when logged in.

To reproduce, log in to sync with a lemm.ee account, switch to local feed and click on any post that appears to have comments. For example: https://lemm.ee/post/35476369

For some reason I haven't been able to replicate this on any other instance (tried with .world and .ml, both of which don't seem to have this issue)
