Leaf blowers strike me as a very American thing. People do use them here in the UK, but rarely

Not sure about all phone models, but at least with mine, if I switch it off then it requires a PIN, rather than biometrics, upon being switched back on. Thus if the police arrive, immediately switching off your phone could be a sensible thing to do

This is why I rarely get on board with new Google products nowadays. I know they'll get half assed support and then be killed off really quickly.

It's scary how accurate they can predict you with what data they have; they don't need to tap your microphone.

You're on a OnePlus; there's always a status bar icon if the microphone is active.

Think of what led to your conversation? Everything related to it you saw or searched online that could've later triggered you to talk about the subject, could also trigger them to serve you ads about it later. Perhaps your friend was the one, and the ad companies have linked you together, ie. by tracking your location and contacts.

And now you've noticed the adverts, you'll notice them much more, where you'd normally ignore them completely. Furthermore, if you noticed these ads, you might've clicked them or stopped scrolling and stared at them too long in a wtf moment and now the ad companies know, so they'll serve you a whole lot more of the same.

Guess that settles the debate, we got to pronounce it "sequel" then to optimally match syllables

But they don't plan to drop MV2 though

There's over 30 Mexican restaurant results for my city at 1% the population of Tokyo. Sounds like it's pretty lacking to me

I'm not surprised at the results tbh. Interesting to see the UK actually abstained, rather than sided with Israel and the US like usual though.

But I also think your data is not very beautiful, I can barely make out the key in those few pixels.

I have to write powershell scripts and bash scripts at work. I hear people saying bash is great, powershell is bad, all the time in public, but honestly I feel like these people have barely actually written powershell. It's a bit wordy, but it feels much more intuitive to me, much more akin to regular programming languages.

Fixed it for Lemmy:

It isn't too hard if you're willing to fail a lot first. It takes time, but I really turned my life around eventually. Even still I feel like an imposter, but an imposter with plenty friends anyway now

This is a serious issue with our perception of dinosaurs though. So many animals that look completely different to one another nowadays have quite similar skeletons. You really can't be too sure about fat distribution, muscles, cartilage, skin features, colours, textures in fossils.

Dinosaurs are traditionally represented in drab colours, with skin placed upon the skeleton with a process known as "shrink wrapping", tightly attaching the skin to the frame. But many animals that we know now really don't work like that.
