Can they also stop harassing me to turn it on? The placement of the accept button is idiotic too because it’s directly over where the normal nav options are. I accidentally turn it on all the time, need to frantically stop the backup, and then log into the desktop site to delete the photos it grabbed. It’s extremely annoying.
I’ve been asking myself the exact same thing.
The top level comment on this thread, to which you complained about graphical syntax, is discussing the MAU decline over the past 30 days.
If you start at zero, the exact same data is shown as when there is a clearly labeled breakpoint. It contributes nothing other than obscuring the data points and scope of discussion is only for the past month. You’re not making a cogent point.
Just like I said before, a 5% decline is not an insignificant drop or “very slightly declined.” Expanding the scope of the argument to show that it’s actually a far steeper decline in user engagement and then arguing the opposite point is misinterpreting the data. Expanding the scope just shows that the trends are continuously showing declining user engagement with no organic growth other than Reddit fucking up.
Showing the data over an entirely different timescale than what’s currently under discussion means nothing in this context to illustrate your point.
Starting from 0 on the y axis just means you need to change the scale, which like I said makes reading any data points incomprehensible, or end up with an unnecessary amount of whitespace.
All starting at 0 would do is ensure that you have no way to accurately gauge the data points values. It would also just compress the data to an incomprehensible smudge of a line.
The starting point is just so you can adequately see trends for both plots shown and is quite sane. I also don’t know if I could call an ~5% decline and clear trend minimal either.
Exactly. There isn’t anything about this that is actually news or noteworthy. A low enrollment club with the goal of making waves isn’t being endorsed by a faculty member that doesn’t want to deal with the headache for a club that’s going to die again in two years.
This is just normal University administration and operation and yet here we are reading an article about it from a major news outlet.
Hahahah yeeeah. I’m technically a slow reader too, but it’s more because I have to keep rereading paragraphs when I stop paying attention, so I’d be more like you probably.
My gf is a completely different brand of neurospicy and she just could not grasp that not only do I have to read the words but I have to actively make sure my brain is trying to comprehend them too or I just go on autopilot.
Hello fellow ADHD adult! I’ve heard the advice about using the double medium before but never given it a shot. Honestly it would probably work great, but I’ve just never committed to it.
With children’s books most of the page count will be in illustrations. You’ll go through them very quickly.
I’m always jealous of people who can listen to podcasts or audiobooks. I genuinely can’t listen to them and do something else at the same time so I have to sit twiddling my thumbs the entire time and get antsy. If I try listen and maybe do the dishes or something, I’ll blink and have no idea what’s been said for the past 15 minutes and have to go back anyway. It kind of sucks.
Yeah that’s definitely where that amount is coming from if it’s been well over a decade. Books are actually really fricken expensive!
Yeah she easily reads into the 200+ range which is about the same pace as you. A lot her non-work related books end up being audiobooks though. I personally need to feel paper in my hands or I have trouble focusing, but I also almost exclusively read high fantasy for fiction and philosophy for non-fiction. I’m lucky to finish half a dozen books a year on a good year!
My partner is in the Lit world and you drastically underestimate how much some people can read. If they are an avid reader and a long-standing member I can see it. Especially If they’re using the retail price to calculate that it adds up quick. hardcovers can easily be $40-60.
That’s a shame, but I’m glad Roo is still leading a happy, loving, and healthy life! ☺️ Tiny dogs do have a certain reputation for ego though, there’s a whole syndrome named after them!
Yeah, without context the phrasing is kind of weird. Rep is short for Replika, a paid personal chatbot service. Most times I see it come up people use it as a psuedo-romantic relationship.
They are both very handsome!
You’re right it’s not. Nudes of everyone and the mirrors of SFW posts are also a problem. I made the mistake of commenting on a mirrored post without realizing once and then immediately blocked the bot and instance once I realized. I see no value in approaching a lack of content that way.
The problem with allowing the option for takedowns though is that most people who are being mirrored don’t know that it’s happening. You can’t easily stop something that you don’t know exists and you never opted into in the first place.
You’re probably thinking of the Lemmit bot and community. There’s no reason to not name and shame here.
While I find it weird, unnecessary, and kind of gross too there’s an(or there should be an) implicit understanding that everything anyone puts on the internet is there to stay, forever. Rarely ever is deleting a photo actually removing for good and your tidbit about consent isn’t quite relevant.
The vast majority of the women that are being reposted are Onlyfans models and have watermarks on their photos for this exact reason. Reposting it like this only serves as extra advertising. For real exhibitionists and people who aren’t making money off the transaction, yes it’s gross, but I don’t think you can create any universal rules to easily differentiate between the two without very heavy moderation.
It doesn’t cause panic, but I don’t back up my photos on my Google drive because I don’t want to and I don’t need to. So every time it forces me to accidentally turn it on, the sooner I stop it the fewer pictures I need to individually delete from my drive. It’s a massive hassle that shouldn’t happen.
