It won't completely replace "⊞ Win + TAB" for me, but it is sometimes more convenient to have the windows in a fixed order when switching between.

For Palestine, a different challenge arises. How many territories would it count as. One, for Palestine as a single unit? Two, for Gaza and The West Bank? More, perhaps?

You mentioned Puerto Rico, but I don't think everybody (even among residents of the island) would call it a "colony". On the flip side, some people would want to include Hawaii in the list, even though it is a US state.

I agree that it would be nice to see a chart that somehow shows the number of currently occupied areas, but that would be very subjective.

Orwell wanted to create an all-knowing governmental presence in everyone's lives by showing the terrors of having an ever-listening piece of technology in their home, never truly escaping surveillance. At least, that's what Alexa told me.

I feel like the capitalization of the A in QAnon is important. Took me a moment to realize "Qanon" wasn't some other thing. Mentally, was pronouncing it like, "cannon".

But isn't a belief—by definition—something that you are convinced is true?
A reasonable person should simultaneously believe that each of his or her individual beliefs are true but that among all his or her beliefs that some are incorrect.

I used to read Gates Notes, but I can't stomach @billgates.bsky.social anymore, a after it came to light that he was buddies with with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. I've also become increasingly skeptical that his motivation for philanthropy is anything but self-serving.

Yeah, of course I can see the difference. I don’t think the art is great, but I think it is passable for a video game, certainly not worth attacking someone for expressing that they like it.

Don’t let it get to you. I'm pretty indifferent to this particular use of AI, I can see value in being able to upscale old games to make them appealing to current audiences, but also don't see this as particularly well done. Regardless, you don't deserve to be attacked for liking it!
