Imagine trying to read that
Kernel code is very often a series of short words, and very often formatted to take a lot of vertical space (i.e lines of code). It can be hard to read, especially when it’s a short code that corresponds to a longer function or location; but with practice we can cope.
tho
See? You’re expecting people to do it already. And kernel code confirms to the grammar a lot more than American 'english.

So a guy reads from an outline or script into a YouTube clip we can view (after ads) with a transcript we can then summarize with an LLM so we can replicate the outline or script originally used?
The downvote and next buttons are, like, right there.

You mean we can charge our cars without risking damage or wear-a d-tear to the port? What will this do to the planned obsolescence of the port of we don’t beat it up every day? Will it be pristine like my phone port next to the goddamned headphone jack?

The call center places in Canada are usually maritime and are fluent in both (or none if their timezone is 30 min ahead ;-) ).

One of my favourite things to do at a holiday get-together is hijack the TV with my MacBook. Most people think Apple stuff only talks to other Apple stuff in the Ecosystem/Walled Garden and that Android is some rebel front against Apple
Are the vegans taking all the spotlight?
My mom, my aunt, my cousin all get together for coffee, and “why the new iphone sucks” has been a perennial topic. They all have the new swoopy ones, and they all hate 'em. It’s been that way since the non-intuitive gesture change was implemented, so, what; a decade?

A big anthology of paraphrased parables mixed with rants, all from different writers and then edited by the Greeks? Sounds about right.

- Comment on Dude read the rules of woman only community and decided to post anyway 2 weeks ago:
never hear a woman use male as a noun like that
I heard ‘male’ the same place I heard ‘female’, and this wasn’t surprising. I’m jealous at your certainty that you haven’t yet and thus never will. Apparently, though, “there are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy”
- Comment on Dude read the rules of woman only community and decided to post anyway 2 weeks ago:
Incel behavior includes using “female” as a noun when talking about women.
Sure: A -> B != B => A
You … know that, right?

Ah. The Barney Miller funk setting on the Roland. Nice find.
I’m stumped, but now I’m on a mission.

Madonna? I think they remixed the absolute hell out of this, so you may be thinking of some over-produced derivative from a coattail-riding DJ as well.

All racism is stereotyping, but maybe not all stereotyping is racist.
Moose would sound like John Goodman doing a decent accent.
Canada Geese could sound like peewee herman on meth.
Bears? Dunno.

I didn’t like Ms Lynch as the actor, though. I didn’t respond well to her portrayal and I thought it was just … off. I don’t know.
Sonequa Martin-green makes an excellent cop and a decent zombie-fighter, and I think she’d make an excellent bond if we’re looking to upset the rednecks.
But they’ll probably keep it a stuffy male brit character, so Cilian Murphy or Henry Cavill, but I would have loved to’ve seen Idris Elba get a turn.

- Comment on Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while? 5 weeks ago:
Because people don’t realize how ridiculously insecure SMS and (usually unencrypted) email are.
