I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

Crocodiles may have also adapted over time to deal with the changes in our atmosphere, while the dino DNA would not have gone through those changes. They could handwave that problem by saying they combined it with some other DNA or modified it themselves (better hemoglobin?)

suggested biweekly, and we can adjust later if we feel it’s too much/little at that point
Otter@lemmy.caOPMto Medicine@mander.xyz•[Meta] How would you feel about a regularly scheduled discussion thread in this community, for medical professionals to chat about how things are going?English1·13 days agoI think biweekly should work, we can always adjust later if it’s too much or too infrequent.
Did you want to have specific topic threads each time, or were you thinking of listing those as prompts in the post? Both are possible with the scheduling tool

https://lexiglobe.com/olive-in-different-languages/
It seems that there are a few common types of sounds
- O-live: English, Basque, Dutch, Czech, etc. Potentially even Albanian and Japanese which kept the “Oh-Lee…” Portion
- Zay-Toon: Arabic, Azerbaijani, Farsi, the language you are learning
Then some unique ones that still might fit into those bins:
-
Marathi is listed as “Jai-fa-la”, which is still somewhat similar to the second type
-
someone commented Gan-lan, which seems to be different
I don’t think they need a specific answer, but rather they want to comment on the different variations
I guess the problem is that people aren’t familiar with the site, or the joke about Bill Gates
Having the title be “This couples compatibility quiz is an enemy of GNU/Linux” would have been more clear
Otter@lemmy.cato Privacy@lemmy.ml•Recent commits suggest Signal is preparing a paid subscription for backups.English101·1 month agoI commented this in the other thread, sharing it here as well
I’ve been waiting for this feature for a while actually 😅
When I last saw people talking about it, there were rumors that there would be a reasonable free backup (ex. up to 1 Gb) with relatively cheap paid options above that. I scrolled through the GitHub link and couldn’t confirm or deny if this is still/actually the case.
Backups are the #1 pain point for friends that tried to switch to Signal, especially for those on iOS. I have a local backup + sync setup for my own phone, but it’s a lot to expect for the average casual user to set up.
Whatsapp has backups to Google Drive, which is better than nothing but not ideal. It’s time Signal had a reliable backup method for casual users

That’s cool, how do you get it to output so much text accurately?
There actually is a BBS style interface for Lemmy
Otter@lemmy.cato Programmer Humor@programming.dev•You can't "skill issue" yourself out from every situationEnglish731·2 months agoThere’s a quote along the lines of “User error is not a thing, the system allowed for the error through bad design”
Which can be true depending on how far you stretch it. I’d say that if a chunk of the user base is having a problem, it’s a design problem

I also find your comment insensitive, and I think you know better. It trivializes a tragic event by making an offhand observation about family size in Gaza.

If needed, you could do some subtle transformations each time but generating a new image each time might be more effort than its worth
Otter@lemmy.cato Global News@lemmy.zip•'Children handcuffed and shot' - ex-UK Special Forces break silence on war crime claimsEnglish1·2 months agoFormer members of UK Special Forces have broken years of silence to give BBC Panorama eyewitness accounts of alleged war crimes committed by colleagues in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Giving their accounts publicly for the first time, the veterans described seeing members of the SAS murder unarmed people in their sleep and execute handcuffed detainees, including children.
“They handcuffed a young boy and shot him,” recalled one veteran who served with the SAS in Afghanistan. “He was clearly a child, not even close to fighting age.”
Killing of detainees “became routine”, the veteran said. “They’d search someone, handcuff them, then shoot them”, before cutting off the plastic handcuffs used to restrain people and “planting a pistol” by the body, he said.
The new testimony includes allegations of war crimes stretching over more than a decade, far longer than the three years currently being examined by a judge-led public inquiry in the UK.
The SBS, the Royal Navy’s elite special forces regiment, is also implicated for the first time in the most serious allegations - executions of unarmed and wounded people.
A veteran who served with the SBS said some troops had a “mob mentality”, describing their behaviour on operations as “barbaric”.
“I saw the quietest guys switch, show serious psychopathic traits,” he said. “They were lawless. They felt untouchable.”
Special Forces were deployed to Afghanistan to protect British troops from Taliban fighters and bombmakers. The conflict was a deadly one for members of the UK’s armed forces – 457 lost their lives and thousands more were wounded.
Asked by the BBC about the new eyewitness testimony, the Ministry of Defence said that it was “fully committed” to supporting the ongoing public inquiry into the alleged war crimes and that it urged all veterans with relevant information to come forward. It said that it was “not appropriate for the MoD to comment on allegations” which may be in the inquiry’s scope.
