I get that Reddit data is useful for AI, but I'm not this massively unique treasure trove they seem to think it is. It's gone to shit anyway now either way.

What do you use to find images online these days? Google image search is useless, and I don't think the other major ones are much better.....

You want large decent quality images you say? Sure, here's some thumbnails, and previews from videos, actually here's some OK looking results but don't click them because the images aren't actually there. No good? What about some Pinterest links or other sites you need to subscribe to or login to, but don't bother doing that because the image probably won't be there when you do...

Sorry, I don't mean the link text itself, but the destination shown in the status bar in the bottom left of my desktop browser.

Sorry for the slow reply, but it was a link on LinkedIn and I'm using chrome. It's frustrating as I use the status bar to check the link is the same as the text before clicking it.

As far as I can see it's somewhat open to interpretation as to if you were "distracted" or "not in control of your vehicle"

I have tried to use the open source CAD programs, but they never worked that well for me.

SketchUp is good, for what it is, but again it's never been for me.

If you want 2D like AutoCAD then I have found SolidEdge from Siemens to be good. There is a free version, and I think a paid one too. I only used the 2D version but a quick search just now seems to show a community edition of the 3D too.

I cant remember if it's Facebook messenger or WhatsApp as I don't use either that often, but one of them has a button on the keyboard to send like animated images or something and it's so easy to hit that button and then select an image but the problem is that it doesn't add it to a message which you then have to send, it just sends it straight away. I've sent some really inappropriate things to people I hardly know as a result, and I don't feel like the attempt at an explanation helps.

I'm reading this from the UK. We need the democracy sausage.

Schools have a duty of care to their students and there are plenty valid reasons to not want your face on the internet. E.g children who have been adopted from abusive families, threats made to children or their parents etc.

You can be polite about it and not confrontational. Just tell them that you're unable to provide further information on it at the moment, but that you need them to take any photographs of you off the internet and refrain from posting anything in the future.

Let them fill in the blanks with whatever story they want.

How hard is it to keep one brand associated with the one thing they do well? I'd understand it if you only have one brand your trying to expand, like Spotify starting to add video content. But when Google own a wide range of apps each with their own brand and identity, they really don't need to get everyone in one place like YouTube.

YouTube for me will always be about short video. When they stopped letting my buy movies on Google play, I didn't start using YouTube and just use Amazon now. When they stopped music, I didn't start to use YouTube music and stuck with Spotify. And now they are stopping Podcasts, I won't move to YouTube. I'm not that bothered but I don't see why they keep doing it, they must hemorrhage users every time and surely the value of YouTube with all these extra features etc is still less than the potential sum of the original parts.

Glad I'm reading this on Lemmy. Well, "glad" isn't the right word, but you know....

Sorry your post has been removed for not being general enough for "General Discussion".

Also you have been banned from "General Discussion" for posting in other "Specific Discussion" channels which is against our policy.

Can I add a follow up question: Why don't normal batteries have any useful measurements on them, at least in the UK anyway, not sure about elsewhere. Rechargeable batteries will have an Ah rating but normal AA or AAA etc will just say "Ultimate" or "Advance" etc, like why can't we just have an Ah or Wh or even just a standardised rating based on a fixed current discharge or something? It's infuriating that in 2023 I'm buying something with know way of quantifying its content other than the inference of the product name.
