It should say “porn” on the drive.

I said the developers removed the labels to be more inclusive and OP (and now you) added them back.

There are technical reasons (pointed out in many comments) for why they might not have full sliders to make any body type you want.

As you can see from OP’s response to you, my primary issue is that OP is still calling the option the “female” or “feminine” one. The developers specifically removed those labels to be inclusive and OP is adding them back. The complaint about the order was the secondary issue.

As a woman, I look at “Body Type A or Body Type B” and think “Well, I’m a woman, not a Body Type B, and isn’t it kinda misogynistic that the secondary option is the female one? Like A+ for Men, B- for Women?”

This really pissed me off, I have to say. Why are you calling the “secondary” option “the female one”? To me that seems a bit presumptuous.

If I have body type B with he/him pronouns, are you saying something about my body? Is it too “feminine” for you?

Honestly, you seem to be looking for something to complain about. The developers have taken an extra step to try to be accommodating and inclusive and your complaining about the order the choices are listed in… Smh

I left a lot of options open for improving the article from my original comment, but if you want some more details:

1. Describe the issue and what forms it comes in to clarify the issue.
2. Do a thorough analysis of posts and comments on Reddit (and maybe some other forums, just a thought) to try to get some numbers to indicate how often it happens and what the different causes are.
3. Maybe create a survey to try to ascertain some numbers. Reach out to a statistician for some help on how to do that.
4. This is a “Senior Editor” at Android Central and they don’t have a single connection to an expert in phone technology. They exhausted all the possible experts out there and didn’t get any responses? Honestly, this means they either don’t know how to write a letter to get an answer from experts, don’t have any compelling data to interest an expert enough to expend their time, or didn’t actually try very hard, or all of the above.

¯_(ツ)_/¯ indeed.

This article is not very helpful. It doesn’t clarify what is meant by the term “green line of death”. Does it brick the phone? Does it make the phone unusable? Is it just annoying? Does it include red lines? Blue lines, black lines, rainbows?

It presents anectdotal evidence of it having happened a lot, but doesn’t give any real numbers. There’s no analysis of the information they do have to say if it’s more often a hardware issue, a software bug, or caused by damage. There’s no indication if there was an attempt to ascertain how often it happens within the warranty period, or if occurrences increase with phone age.

Interviewing a couple friends and a “quick reddit search” is not investigative journalism. The writer didn’t hear back from manufacturers or industry experts, and gave up. So they interviewed a couple more “nerd” friends. Ouch.

Usually, when it’s a one-off like this, the video game gets “paid” to put the stuff in their game. That payment may be in-kind advertising campaigns, etc.

For something like Need for Speed, Forza, etc, the game will be licensing the likeness of the vehicles and the company logos in the game. I don’t know the costs, but the fact that it’s also advertising will factor in.

In this case, there are a few likely scenarios:

1. The game director or art director or someone high up at Epic has a hard-on for the Cybertruck and really wanted it in the game. So they pursued Tesla and made a deal.
2. Epic wanted to add vehicles to the game and decided to go with licensed vehicles. Their merchandising people reached out to merchandising people at all the auto companies and then figured out some deals.
3. Someone high up at Tesla (maybe even Musk) loves, or has a kid who loves, Fortnite and decided they want the Cybertruck in the game. So they pursued Epic to make a deal.

Number 2 is most likely, but I don’t know the game well enough to know the vehicle situation in it.

For all of them, you have to factor in a bunch of details to figure out who is paying who:

• who wants it more (/ power imbalance)
• how much money is it going to cost to make the models, animations, etc
• how much is it going to cost players to get the item
• are there aspects that either company finds undesirable (E.g. sometimes car companies don’t like their cars shown with damage)
• who will be doing the bulk of the marketing, and who has the marketing budget to spend on the venture
• probably a lot more

So, it’s hard to say without more inside info. Games I’ve worked on have had 1 and 2, but not 3 as far as I know. I think it was pretty much an in-kind deal for the 1 situation though (like we got the likenesses, they got advertising through the game, ostensibly we sold more games with the likenesses, but I think it just stroked someone’s ego…) All of the 2 situations were done to bring in money for the game’s marketing budget / or were in-kind marketing deals, possibly bringing money directly to the bottom line, but I don’t know.

OP didn’t ask for a CAD specifically but just mentioned looking at the list of CADs, so I thought it might be worth throwing in the mix.

Blender?

I want multiple streaming services that can stream almost everything so there’s competition, but still a valid reason not to just drop and switch constantly.

I didn’t say I confused it with something else. I didn’t imply anyone would confuse it with something else. Congratulations to everyone who already knew what it was.

Fuck this article for never saying what AOSP stands for.

(Android Open Source Project according to my search)

Could be a legal issue

I do think we need a “tap” horn (thumb button) and an “I’m mad” horn (press/punch the middle of the steering wheel).

On some cars, the “courtesy honk” is all but impossible.

I was unfortunately somewhere without any kind of view of it.

Why are people joining .world to begin with?

Because how it works when you first join is very confusing, and why you would choose any particular server is not clear at all.

Also, people want to join something that is bigger and more active because it feels like it would be better (more stable, more content, etc.)

Not OP but I think it looks like Shortyz on Android, which I used for a long time, but I recently switched to Forkyz (an unofficial fork of Shortyz) because it gets more active support. You can get it on F-droid or its current repo on Gitlab.

I wonder how much open source COBOL is out there for LLMs to harvest.
