Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Whats the most disgusting thing you've ever put in your mouth?
11·4 days agoSlug.
When I was small I left my kazoo outside in the yard, and then when I went to play it the next day, I learned the hard way what slugs taste like.
They’re bitter.

In the US a lot of places are defined by the structure of the government rather than anything to do with their size.

8·6 days agoThat’s a very unconventional use of the word “city”.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Tech giant Oracle cuts 21,000 jobs as it embraces "AI"
12·7 days agoThey’re pivoting to AI because they always put up a façade of chasing fads.
- Oracle 8 / 9 i for internet (à la iMac)
- Oracle 10 / 11 g for grid (clustering)
- Oracle 12 / 18 / 19 / 21 c for cloud
- Oracle 23 / 26 ai for … slop, I guess.
Product is still the same thing underneath.
The difficulty varies from platform to platform, and it’s much more likely to be used where it is easier.
Either way there’s zero chance that Trump did it.
“Compose, - - -“ … it’s easy as hell to write that on PC.
(Most people do not have the Windows key map codes memorized)

It depends what you understand the purpose and effect of a crosswalk to be.
If you think it’s basically a signpost on the road saying “there might be pedestrians here” then the standardization is perhaps important. But even then there’s a decent amount of latitude as long as the feature is recognizable.
If it’s just visual noise that makes people uncomfortable to go fast through, then the specific design is far less important. (“Friction” as described in this video.)
