Yes

So looking at it, I saw a few things. The easy thing is to google the restaurant name, of course, but there were other clues.

The trees were tall evergreens, suggesting northern part of the northern hemisphere.

The license plates appear to be European style suggesting somewhere in Europe.

There is a street sign that is like 4 feet wide but only two lines tall. Suggesting Scandinavian.

That was as specific as I got before looking at the street view that was posted and seeing Norway.

I'll add my experience to it as well.

I recently used it for a trip. I put into it my flights, hotels, checking/out times, reservations, and any other pertinant travel data. It gave me one single place to find a rather large amount of data.

It also helped me keep my timelines straight as I was booking things to make sure I didn't have any overlap.

Starbucks has been doing everything it can to not be warm and welcoming. The newer ones around me have all been bench seating at what feels like a folding table that was clearly just designed so you could sit while you wait on your coffee, but not get comfortable enough to stick around. They've taken everything off the walls and removed anything that might dampen sound so you can't have a casual conversation anymore.

There is nothing welcoming about being there, and the atmosphere is about as corporate cold as they could possibly manage. Whatever starbucks used to be is dead and gone. I expect them to eat themselves and fail spectacularly soon in a chase for more and more profit margin on each cup.

I'd think, in this case, you'd still have to legally acquire the content. So meta pirating a ton of books would still be piracy, the act of piracy would be illegal. Scraping the entire internet for publicly posted data isn't illegal, however, so that's still "fair game". Of course, the internet is full of illegally posted content, so I'm not sure how you account for all that when training AI (most model makers probably don't bother to try). "Sure, we trained our model on Disney movies, but user FartFace6969 posted them to youtube mirrored with the audio pitched up, your honor!"

As I recall, Go was the add-on to TV service, and Now was the standalone. Although the names were kinda dumb, it was good that they had two different names.

I hope this frees them up to work with previous hosts more. Most of them are still around and working in similar content.

The web versions only cost less for very minimally licensed users. There are certainly cases where it is cheaper, but unless the user is using an iPad or Chromebook, the license companies want to have for all users includes office desktop. The push to cloud probably was about control and removing more dangerious features like macros.

The brown color of the white is also a dead give away. I'm not sure why OpenAI is afraid of actual white.

Oh yes, and it is really only a business feature. It isn't competing with Skype. It is actually hard for me to think of Teams as something non-business users are supposed to use.

Teams, as a business product, does actually offer phone service. It is a special license though and from what I hear people managing it hate it, even though users tend to like it.

I agree. Discord actually had a metaphor that I think plays well for federation. Specifically, they called each group a server. And organized the UI in a way that would make federation pretty transparent.

The only consufsing bit would be the concept of a home server login ID. Like, the lack of a central identity provider. But I think that isn't a show stopper.

I kinda wish there were fed ID providers that all fed servers used for login and authentication. I'm not sure exactly how that would work, but being able to have a single identity across mastodon, Lemmy, and any other fed service would really simplify things once you were in the fediverse.

For cereal and similar breakfast applications, I quite like oat milk. It does have a strong oat flavor though.

I made a shirt like that before for someone. It was a it had the Hyundai logo, the label S2000(A Honda sports car) and a picture of BMW Z24. It was very wrong but in a way subtle enough that only people who liked soft top roadsters would ever notice.

We referred to it as the wild west even back then, and we knew eventually civilization would catch up.

I absolutely disagree. That's a fantastic reference for a union logo to make.

We're a little behind schedule.

I haven't touched Photoshop since like CS2 I think, so really can't compare the two, but I will say that GIMP 3 was a huge enancenent to GIMP. It now has non-destructive editing. For my common uses, this is giant. Not having to redo 8 steps because I decided step 1 wasn't right is so nice.

Of course Photoshop has done that for ages. My only point was that previous perceptions might be a little dated. And with the 3 update came with huge backend changes that will hopefully accelerate other feature development. Of course I'm sell on hope, but I'm excited for the future of GIMP. Also, now that 3 is out, they have been hinting that that are open to talk about a name change, which I think would be healthy if they want increased usage.

I think you can use the Apple watch as a remote shutter button, so he wouldn't need to do laps in the parking lot like a dad trying to get a family photo. But it is fun to imagine none the less.

Sounds like I stand corrected.
