The site is a web app. You can install it from your browser. It's way better than IMDB and I'm not sure why it is so difficult to discover through search. Everyone should be using it.
We were that close to saving America! /s
Fair enough. Thank you for sharing a different experience.
You mentioned part of the issue; there are so many different services you don't think of obviously. Of course, there's mail, but there's also storage and phone backups, maps, social media logins, shared documents and folders, photos, etc.
Absolutely the best way to do it is a little bit at a time. It's definitely not a weekend project. But it is very rewarding and very much worth it.
If every browser and every piece of tech attached to them disappeared tomorrow, we would immediately reinvent them.
Having a program to display interactive information from a network is far too useful for communication. Websites are just code that is purpose-built for being rendered by browser software, and a network to exchange the code. Even when the internet was text-terminal only, people still created ASCII art, text tables, etc. There is technically software (such as word processors, ereaders, etc.) that can render webpages, but how would you connect to a site? How would you do anything useful? Companies would have to add those features to existing software. If you think Edge is a pain, wait until you have to surf the web in MS Word!
It can be very challenging to disentangle yourself from Google services. Once you start, it's shocking how many different ways they hook into our lives.
But at least for me, it's been absolutely worth it.
Yes, I know that's what it says in this article, but I don't think it's correct. Merriam Webster actually says not only that opossum can be pronounced without the O, but it can also be spelled without the O. The two words are interchangeable according to Merriam Webster.
I actually don't think this is totally accurate. Possum is an alternate pronunciation/spelling of opossum. According to this thinly sourced Wikipedia article:
The common name "possum" for various Phalangeriformes species derives from the creatures' resemblance to the opossums of the Americas... However, although opossums are also marsupials, Australasian possums are more closely related to other Australasian marsupials such as kangaroos.
Can anyone confirm this one way or the other?
KagI is pretty good in various languages.
The industry will end up with one or two winners and a lot of losers. Very hard to predict these things (smart money in 1997 was that Apple was about to file bankruptcy). One or two companies will have success and the rest will evaporate or be absorbed. Then the AI product itself will be priced up (and dumbed down) significantly.
AI will not go away, but will be far more limited and specialized. The day of free general access to powerful chatbots will be up.
This ad just popped up and it should be more infuriating than just mildly, But it's more of Google being Google. How many different tiers of YouTube are there now so Alphabet can skim off slightly higher margins from each user possible? Premium LITE? Really? And I am just tickled by the fact that the main perk is not that it removes ads but that there will be slightly less of them. "Pay us to watch ads" Is the new corporate standard.
Incest is almost never between two consenting adults. There is almost always an inappropriate power dynamic, coercion, and/or grooming.
