I vaguely remembered it offering me updates when I first set the dock up (purchased the dock much later then the deck). I’ll make sure I have the latest version.
Just ask the parents what (s)he likes.
There was some degree of standardization. Especially for important legal and religious texts alteration, even if accidental, was considered a sin/vice.
Scribes very often simply had to produce 1:1 copies of existing texts. So the standard was right in front of them.
You wouldn’t think how far clerical errors could go when it was laboriously copied by hand by exhausted monks in candlelight.
The whole Mary was a virgin thing (aka immaculate conception) was started because someone mistranslated young woman as (sexual) virgin. In some languages those terms are really close (even today for example in German: junge Frau Vs Jungfrau).
To be fair some languages like English or French have so horrendous and outdated orthography that I’m not going to fault the writers.
Writers. Why is there even a W in that word still? Ridiculous, write?
I initially wrote ‘temptor’ in the title but then double checked. Not today, Titivillus.
Well I will argue that they were precisely more media literate because their media literacy applied to a broader spectrum of what was in use and relevant then.
It’s a sweeping generalization of course, but many people alive today had some form of media competency taught to them at school. To my mind what is taught at public school forms the base level for society – the lowest common denominator – because almost everyone receives it and other forms of education build on top of that. That’s how we ensure that everyone knows how to read and has basic numeracy after all.
But media literacy has been geared towards classical print media for the longest time. Because technological progress is so rapid today what you learn in your early years is no longer sufficient to guide you through your entire life in this regard.
Take for example texts, or images generated by artificial intelligence. This wasn’t even on educators’ minds 30-40 years ago, the lag of implementing new and relevant curricula notwithstanding. For many alive today social networks (today’s prime avenue for spreading misinformation) didn’t exist when they went to school. Heck, many went through primary socialisation before consumer grade computers were even a thing.
TLDR: media literacy has regressed in the sense that what most people know is geared towards traditional media while digital communications have grown to be very different on continue to evolve still.
You’re correct. I updated the image.
I recently learned that the Mormons settled and resettled in several states before finally staying in Utah. It’s quite an interesting story, especially given that most religions are so ancient that it’s very hard to track their origins today.
Johnny Harris has great videos about it, this one for instance.
Nice. I’m wondering how often this cycle has played out so far …?
That was a wild ride. Well done 👏
Never knew about transparent web proxies. Neat. Do they play a part in commercial DDOS protection? I’m thinking of those please wait while we’re evaluating your request messages that you get on some sites. But also about any methods used to prove that you are human.
Good to know. It was a common problem with XCOM 2 for me.
Whenever possible I tried to get around this distorted audio noise after resuming from sleep by first opening a pause menu and then sending the deck to sleep. It seems to occur less the less audio channels are used by the game engine at the moment that you sent the deck to sleep.
What’s the difference between run time program data and temporary files? Is /tmp
just for system level processes but not for user space?
These creatures look adorable 😍.
This has some real draw the rest of the fucking owl vibes, well done.
Listened to the entire interview. At no point does she pledge that. She simply doesn’t rule it out and is willing to consider.
That header is clickbait bullshit .
Went to a local rock concert once. Had to go into the middle of the crowd to fetch a friend and alert him of something that had happened. The music was unbearably loud for me. Noticed that virtually everyone was wearing ear plugs.
Found it absurd. Why not lower the volume instead and have people forego the plugs? Less noise pollution in the local area too. After the concert was over I asked some participants about it. Everyone claimed they liked the loudness or that it was necessary somehow. My impression: they liked to keep up with the appearances of being hardcore, it being for tough folks. But they didn’t want the actual hearing damage.
OK, thanks for the hint. I just found out that you will only be prompted to update if you:
here’s to hoping the updates will allay the display issues
