House after house where no front yard has anything for anyone, and quite long distances before you get somewhere you might be welcome, or have a chair.

This is very bizarre to me. I never once thought about a chair as a child. _If_ you got tired you just took a seat anywhere or just laid down.

An empty lawn was the perfect place to play any number of things. Even better was when 2 empty backyard lawns connected and there wasn't much/any landscaping for some really big activities.

Ferrari Luce 2 months ago

There's a difference between picking a car out of a lineup to play in a game and taking (a lot of) money to buy a Ferrari.

I too would pick fun/weird stuff to play, but if I had Ferrari money I wouldn't be touching this.

Man, those are 2 apps I haven't touched in decades. They felt novel at the time, but they just aren't as fast for me since it requires leaving my IDE which already has both CLI and visual git methods (I use intellij products)

Definitely a US based phenomenon, but sadly like other US based things it spreads to other countries. I talk with friends in CA and EU who are seeing some of the junk we saw 10 years ago with "what is fact"

You would think common sense prevails...

Kinda sidebar here, apologies, but a question for any DSLR/Mirrorless owners out there:

I've always been frustrated by the reach of phone cameras and finally got a mirrorless and 100-400 lens. It is an aps-c so the equivalent max focal length is 640mm which has been great for wildlife or some long views out on a hike. The sensor is 32.5MP which knocks the socks off my old iphone 12 pro, however this new 16 (or maybe it started with 15?) is 48MP.

Now I know its going to be unlikely we see a phone camera with the reach - but what about landscape photography? Would a 16 pro on a tripod be able to compete with real camera gear. I assume you can focus stack or bracket with ProRAW? This hobby is expensive and just trying to decide if I invest in a lens (my only other one is the kit lens) for landscape.

Final output would be for a 4k tv (samsung frame is nice for that) or possibly print

For sure, but there are all kinds of bad photoshops out there where it is super easy to tell, much like bad AI images that stick out like a sore thumb (or 2 thumbs).

But getting good at photoshop takes a lot of effort (as well as a license or a will to use it otherwise), that will remain the same. The same can't necessarily be said for AI images which have been improving year over year and becoming more and more accessible.

It is unfairly funded. The ensuring part requires the same time and effort for

Free apps, apps that make money off ads, apps that cost $1, apps that charge a monthly fee, apps that resell products where a 30% cut exceeds their margin.

Perhaps the stores should change to a model of choose your own adventure: pay per release or % cut. What would you say is a fair amount to charge per release - keeping in mind apple/google will want to maintain their insanely high profits from the app stores?

I wouldn't call audiobook "settling", I enjoy them more than books with a great narrator.

What got me back into reading was Harry Potter. I hadn't read a book for fun since middle school and had grown to loathing reading of any kind from all the assigned reading. (just give me the cliff notes).

HP was new, all the rage, and wife convinced me to give it a try (she had always been an avid reader). I had maybe 3 books to catch up on and I read them all back to back and was eagerly awaiting the 4th. We'd do midnight releases and each buy our own book and didn't sleep till we were through.

I'm not saying you aren't experiencing that, but I've never heard of those complaints before and if they were remotely common there is no way Outlook would be used so much that we are at a point of people complaining it will go away.

Maybe a fresh reinstall or something?
