This Ubisoft initiative to transfer licenses to PC is actually worthless to me since my PC doesn't have a GPU capable of playing games anyway and I have no intention to buy one.

Maybe it's written from a European view point? Their left is so extreme that to them, the American left is considered center, isn't it? So our left's support of the war is being called center?

Meanwhile it's valuable for corporations to hide where the meat comes from since such a country might sell their beef considerably cheaper to offload it despite the disease. So it's one of those cases where the corporate interests (profit) are against the individual interests (not getting a prion disease) and having government step in and mandate country of origin labeling would be valuable.

I think the US tends to be less strict about meat anyway, though. Our grocery stores still package beef in carbon monoxide to make it look red even though other countries have decided that makes the meat look misleadingly fresher than it really is, for example.

If our app supported older iOS devices, maybe JPEG would be needed as a fallback, but it seems like JPEG XL wouldn't be compatible with old devices anyway, right?

Yaris worked well in general. I'm not surprised it's popular with college kids. It was pretty bothersome, though, how at the lowest trim level they even disabled things like cruise control. I'm three times older than any college kid and it made my ankle ache on long drives.

I used to do this in bash scripts to keep them cleaner and the lines simpler.

I do watch some Chinese lessons and electronics repair and cooking recipes and finance tips on there as well as the lighter content, though, so it isn't all pure entertainment.

Since the author prefers walking, maybe another option would be to put Twitter and TikTok just on an iPad and mount it to a treadmill.

Tech company employees outside the marketing department are generally preferred to not say anything publicly at all. I've helped author a couple official engineering blog posts, but those always go through lawyers and marketing before release. Lots of companies like Google also hire very expensive consultancies to prevent unionizing as well. So she set herself up to battle a company that just needed a legal excuse to get rid of her at that point.

> At the end of my tenure, I was isolated, had my Slack messages surveilled and used against me, learned that Apple had access to my personal iMessages, and received several reports of requests to disparage me and my statements

Hopefully she learned a bit. She complained a lot about her Slack conversations being surveilled, but you should always assume your employer is screen capturing your computer, recording your microphone, keeping your web cam on without your knowledge, and possibly sending your emails and other communications to your manager for reference or even approval before passing them on to the intended recipients. I've seen all these things and been asked to help set some of them up. You've usually given up any right to them not happening on a work computer at some point during new employee onboarding if not sooner.

> The Black Death was also carried by rats on merchant ships through the trade routes of Europe. It struck Europe in 1347, when 12 ships docked at the Sicilian port of Messina. Subsequently called “death ships”, those on board were either dead or sick

Parent is using an example of a case where we know trade by ships helped cause the plague to spread, so is similar to how obese people have worse covid outcomes. No one is really going to go on a platform and attack trade by ships, though, just like in modern times no one is allowed to discriminate against the obese.

A lot of the products require you to sit right next to or put your face right next to them. Think like a makeup vanity. Instead, with that one, I can just set it up right next to my bedside/desk/wherever I'm going to sit on my laptop for the next 16 hours.
