Windows has something better than three finger drag. It has single finger second tap and hold. Plus extended zones for when the trackpad is not big enough to stretch across

But it misses the killer feature that both macs and Linux have and makes this glorious: allow lifting the finger for a short time without letting go of the selection.

“Navigating diverse stakeholder dynamics presents a unique set of professional growth opportunities.” — translated from “people are difficult”

Reverse translate this and it becomes working with different types of people creates an opportunity to learn.


They might be aura farming and then used to pose as legitimate accounts for political debate when they are all beng run by single state actors for propaganda. I know of one country that has been more invested recently in defending itself on here.

Policymakers automatically are assuming that private corporate infrastructure owned by national businesses and/or businesses operating in the country should be made as part of a surveillance apparatus. This is peak ignorance. The US cloud act makes this assumption without explicitly claiming such.

And I think here lies the opportunity for challenging this in court.


Slight changes can cause such impacts? Now imagine how many other meteors and comets also will be adjusting because of this. Will one of them once on a course to never hit earth suddenly shift to hit earth in a thousand years time? The confidence i get is the opposite

I don't think asteroids (like the target) have influence on others. There's so much space between them, and their mass is almost neglible.

Oh no. I was not talking about the other objects that float through space influenced by such a small object so far away.

I was talking about the sun shaking in its orbit because high velocity objects are now pulling at it differently causing other objects to be influenced by the new position of the sun.

I read the parent comment as “solar orbit change” meaning the sub was changing position.


Personal Agency is a strong characteristic of a personality. AI would have to acquire a personality first. It could probably do this by copying others statistically. In that case, it is only doing what someone else has done.

There is no such thing as real sentient AI theoretically. Our current models are only emulations of humans. Maybe in the future someone will figure out a way for computers to learn how to learn. Then maybe someone will codify computers to acquire base methodologies vs just implementing any methodology it finds in the world.


If the core of the reasoning is the fines and penalties then surely the remedy is to temper the punishment to just fees that need to be fulfilled upon renewal or registration.

I think they have the pathway to merge it right now. But it will cannibalize their sales so they dont want to do that.

The rounded corners is such a key element of apple design. They patented rounded corners on the iphone for precisely this reason. They wanted to trademark this but got a design patent instead. And then samsung notoriously copied this one almost verbatim same radius which pissed off apple.

>one almost verbatim same radius which pissed off apple

So this is what they decided to do? Use so many different rounded radius variations that competitors don't know which one to copy?


> The rounded corners is such a key element of apple design.

See Windows 11.


Windows corner is a lot sharper/smaller than the apple corner.

I don't like him either but he is definitely exchanging Google's future positions and cashing it in for profit now, which reflects positively on him.
