Is there even a reason they exist? Like, is it actually important to a biologist or something to say “herd of cows” instead of “group of cows”?

Is this shape not rather impractical? It may be more difficult to accidentally knock over, but you would also need to tip it back to a somewhat extreme angle in order to get everything out of it.
- Comment on Receipt checkers trigger me 2 weeks ago:
But that just makes it seem discriminatory and unbalanced so apparently some managers want the theatrics 24/7 to avoid the complaints of unfair treatment.
This was in the back of my mind the entire time I was reading your comment. They may want to stop shoppers based only on when they see red-flag items in their cart, but that would leave things open for the door hosts to (consciously or not) stop shoppers based on the appearance of the shopper themselves. To mitigate that gray area, they decide to just stop everybody.

The wiki makes it sound like a very militaristic nation, but “literal nazi” is definitely a stretch.
Duvos wields the might of the world’s largest army, armed with a formidable arsenal that includes old world relics. Their military might is not just for show; it’s a tool for ‘force negotiation’ with other nations and city-states. The country’s aggressive past is marked by a war with the Alliance of Free Cities over resources in the ruins of Lucien, a conflict that nearly obliterated Lucien itself. Although the war concluded in a stalemate and a peace treaty was signed, Duvos’s history of leveraging military power for strategic gain casts a long shadow, hinting at their possible motives in Sandrock.
It is revealed during the mission “Give me a Sign” that Duvos had a “Plan Zeta”, a covert military strategy involving a sudden occupation of Sandrock. This operation includes jamming all communication signals and severing the city’s rail connections. The urgent call for a signal blackout precedes the deployment of the “Whale,” an imposing airship capable of transporting an entire army, indicating Duvos’s intent to launch an airborne invasion of Sandrock. The presence of such airships in their arsenal and their jamming technology showcases Duvos’s formidable military capabilities and their readiness to employ overwhelming force to achieve strategic objectives.
- Comment on What's the Standard Operating Procedure for if someone steals your phone while you were using it and its unlocked? 3 weeks ago:
Theft Detection Lock uses AI, your device’s motion sensors, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth to detect if someone unexpectedly takes your device and runs away. If Theft Detection Lock detects your device is taken from you, it automatically locks your device’s screen to protect its content. For example, if someone grabs the phone out of your hand and they run, bike, or drive away, the Theft Detection Lock may activate.

I presume it waits for an abrupt spike in the accelerometer followed by going out of range of nearby Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth connections. I am curious how well it works, and how often false positives occur.
I am also disappointed that it seems GrapheneOS does not offer a similar feature.
- Comment on Emulating PS2 for my Steam Deck, would love any recommendations! 4 weeks ago:
Going Mobile from 2005? That was surprisingly fun. Apparently you can still find it as a JAR file and play it using a Java emulator.
- Comment on Emulating PS2 for my Steam Deck, would love any recommendations! 4 weeks ago:
I have enjoyed the several Ratchet & Clank games that I have played. I had tried the first two Jak games using OpenGOAL, and they just didn’t grab me like every Ratchet & Clank did.
I know that this thread is about PS2 emulation, but do you know if the HD collection for PS3 is a better way to emulate the original Ratchet & Clank titles nowadays?
- Comment on Why do people see me as far older than 19 when I type the way I do sometimes?/Why do people think full stops are rude? 4 weeks ago:
I have found that I always use proper punctuation in informal communication except for a period at the end of a message. If the last sentence is a question or exclamation, I’ll use a question mark or exclamation point. But if it technically requires a period: usually nothing.
Then again, I am in my forties or fifties

- Comment on How to mute posts containing certain keywords on Lemmy? 1 month ago:
Regarding the post title: Lemmy itself allows you to block communities, instances, and users. But it does not support filtering by keyword, e.g. filtering out any post with the word “platypus” in the title regardless of where it was posted or by whom. With help from the comments below, here are some third party Lemmy clients that have their own implementation of keyword filtering:
- Boost
- Connect
- Eternity
- Interstellar
- Raccoon
- Summit
- Sync
- Tesseract
- Thunder
- Voyager
Do NOT support keyword filtering:
- Alexandrite
- Jerboa
- Lemmy UI
- mlmym
- Next
- Photon
- Quiblr

I went into it with absolutely zero knowledge other than the fact that a lot of people online really liked it, and I only made it about 20 minutes in. I just wasn’t enjoying it at all. I don’t see the appeal, like I’m just not the target audience.

- Comment on This spoon. 3 months ago:
Some soup spoons are indeed oblong like a tablespoon. But because there isn’t anything in that etsy photo above to provide context, you might miss that the heads of those spoons are most likely much larger than that of a tablespoon. Sure, they’re just as oval shaped as what OP expects, but they’re also just as _wide _as the spoon in the OP. Meaning they require just as Steven Tyler of a mouth to successfully misuse as a round soup spoon.
- Comment on Why are $70 AAA games slashing prices so drastically? 3 months ago:
The “sale” price you see here is effectively the “standard” price. Publishers know that most users will just wait for a sale to make their purchase, and that those too desperate to wait will be willing to pay any inflated “full” price they set.
