If I hadn’t personally seen this on the internet almost 20 years ago, I would assume it’s AI generated because of how weird it is.

Internet Explorer 11

(just kidding)

According to the page, that’s using an imaginary unit called “international dollars” (which I just learned exists), which is used for comparing countries’ economies. It doesn’t reflect the real amount in US dollars. In US dollars the median US salary is just under $60,000. https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/wkyeng.pdf

On mine it appears to be a regular setting under the display options called “camera cutout”. I do have developer options enabled though, so maybe that doesn’t appear for people who don’t.

Android (or at least my Galaxy) has a setting that lets you disable the portion of the screen where the notch is, which makes it essentially identical to a phone with no notch.

Neither, and I never once had the cable fall out. Just imagine the countless seconds I saved from not screwing and unscrewing.

I was so invested in that show’s ongoing plot as a kid. The writers put a lot more thought into it than they needed to. And the voice actors were all awesome, especially Megatron.

Don’t worry, I’m still here

I know it’s not the same thing, but the corporate TLDs like “.google” make me irrationally irritated. You think you’re too good for “.com”?

They’ve taken the design in a very minimalist direction.

Is this lossregex?

I’m guessing I’m probably slightly younger than you, but I’m still old enough to remember how things were before the web took everything over. I definitely agree with some of your point, but I think there’s some cause for optimism!

• finally democratize information - Information really is more democratized than any other prior time in human history. There is a bunch of bad information mixed in as well, but that doesn’t negate the benefits that the internet has brought in this regard. If I have the time and the motivation I can give myself a college level education just using free resources on the internet.
• do away with misinformation and pseudoscience - this is definitely a problem on the internet, but I think if we didn’t have the internet it would still be a problem. We have whole news networks that were founded specifically to pump out misinformation. That just happened to start around the advent of the internet but was not caused by it.
• promote critical thinking - yeah, I don’t think the internet has helped much on this front, but again I don’t think it has actually made it much worse. People are overall much more educated today than they were decades ago. Their ignorance is just also much more visible.
• freedom and democracy - the internet has enabled a new rise of fascism which is horrifying, but it has also enabled unprecedented coordination and strength in minority communities on a global scale. I think we would be much farther behind socially if the internet hadn’t appeared.

Damn, I didn’t know what had happened to her. I really liked her content.

I use Trello to manage several lists (recurring daily, Tuesdays only, one-offs, etc) and reconcile them into a daily plan each morning

Assuming it ever comes out. I’m WAITING…

I see, thanks. That’s something I’ll have to look into further, because it seems to me that it’s really a prerequisite for a functioning society. I appreciate you going over all of that!
