Isn’t a file browser needed for browsing the saved documents and spreadsheets?

Not to mention that office suites (such as WPS, OpenOffice and LibreOffice) will inevitably pop up a file browser when the “Open” or “Save” buttons/menu items are clicked.

“Press F to pay respects” Same vibe

Actively criticizing how both USSR and US secretly gave citizenship and hired nazi-fascists (and history is there to be checked) (therefore actively positioning myself against nazi-fascists and against everybody who “sits at a table with nazis and stays at the table”) is “carrying water for nazi-fascists”? WTH?!

Reeducation won’t revive nazi victims. USSR and US were no necromancers.

Indeed, but even hiring and giving citizenship for such people (nazi scientists, military and engineers), especially considering how they got their “knowledge” isn’t an “ok” thing. Neither for US’s Paperclip.

Both US and USSR secretly hired nazi personnel, such as scientists and engineers. Later, both operations were disclosed respectively as Operation Paperclip and Operation Osoaviakhim. USSR didn’t destroy nazi-fascism, they secretly incorporated it (that is, if I correctly understood the reference from the meme, maybe I’m needlessly “ranting”).

What about Operation Osoaviakhim?

In Brazil, there are regional variations and word/phrasing variations as well.

Formally:

• “Você ligou para o número errado” (you called the wrong number)
• “Você discou o número errado” (you dialed for the wrong number )
• “Você está ligando para o número errado” (we call it the “gerúndio”, something like “-ing”, as in “You’re calling the wrong number”)

Informally/casually:

• “Discou errado, irmão” / “Discou errado, mano” / “Discou errado, cara” / “Discou errado, mermão” (“dialed wrongly, bro”, with “bro” variations across Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro (the latter being the latter variation))
• “Tu ligasse errado, visse” (some Brazilian northeast states, something like “Thou calledsth wrongly, see?”)
• “Né aqui não, moço” (Minas Gerais, something like “It’s not here, boy”)

There are lots of other variations and I’m not really aware of all of them.

Also, the way I answer depends a lot on multiple factors such as: my emotional state (wrath? Sad? Okay? Excitedly happy (rarely)?), my current pace (rushing? Chilling?), among others. Generally, “Não é aqui não” (the Minas Gerais variation without the ending “moço” and a fully spelled “Não é” instead of “Né”, because I’m originally from interior of São Paulo state but highly culturally influenced by a part of the family from Minas Gerais).

Even though I kinda like the aesthetics, especially for AI image generation, and I’m a kind of a nerd (it’s popularly said that nerds like animes), I don’t like nor hate, I simply don’t care to know and watch animes. Not only animes, but also animated movies and series, as well as mangas.

My own birth, I guess.

Randomness (even the computer’s pseudorandom) is really amazing. Perlin noise, Sierpinski triangles traced through random walking, etc… Lots of things can be done with random sequences.

Yep. The lemon-flavored soda. Its fizzling sound.

If it weren’t for “CA” (California) in the description, I would firmly believe that the photo is of some house in simpler inland cities here in Brazil. It’s a fairly common thing that we call as “puxadinhos” (constructions that have no engineer, often built by the owners themselves, because both a civil engineer and a mason are generally pricey and inaccessible to a vast majority of Brazilian population).

As a Brazilian, I kinda see what’s going on: “Você consegue me entender?”, to which it’s often replied “Sorry, I don’t speak Spanish”. Portuguese is not Spanish, galera!

I don’t know if I’m allowed to share here, but there’s an… how could I say… alternative… archive snapshot, from the moment when the paywall weren’t in place yet… It’s available today at a site that are known for archiving things. 😀

“The system can listen to conversations”.

What a timely coincidence! Patent got published basically at the same time Meta’s, Google’s and Microsoft’s “Active Listening” got public as well. 🤔

Bots are like microplastics. No place on Earth is free from them anymore.

It’s half empty and half full, at the same time, in some quantum overlapped state. The actual state, either half empty or half full, collapses as soon as it’s open.
