Exactly, he could just be a cop.
So still a reason to break up with him, but a different one

That’s mostly thanks to science and technology, but still.
My parents still remember the days before many vaccines were common for example. And extreme hunger has definitely gone down. My dad comments how crazy it is there’s now electricity everywhere where he used to live.
These could have been solved by now of course, but at least they aren’t as bad as they used to be.
Just checked, seems to be partially back up
Huh, I’ve just seen this gif around multiple places and thought it was funny. Is this like a behind the scenes thing or something?
Didn’t know the seagull that got pimp slapped had a Lemmy account

The 00s called, they want their insults back.
(Also this isn’t even anime this is just a meme?)

Lumisal@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Wikipedia Pauses AI-Generated Summaries After Editor BacklashEnglish8·4 days agoDidn’t know that exists, and that needs more marketing. I literally have a “Daily Wikipedia Article” thing and never came across it. And maybe a different name, like Simplified Wikipedia, because I thought you meant something different.
Lumisal@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Wikipedia Pauses AI-Generated Summaries After Editor BacklashEnglish3·4 days agoProblem is they can’t read Wikipedia articles in the first place. A lot of it, in particular anything STEM, is higher level reading.
What you’re advocating for is the same as dropping off a physics textbook at an elementary school.

Honestly that’s the reason I thought it was a good idea at least. Might actually give them a place to start learning from and improve.

Lumisal@lemmy.worldto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Proprietary software's inferiorities, such as this control center downgrade, remind me of that one Dhar Mann video where kids enjoy homemade food and insult what the "award winning pastry chef" made.0·5 days agoOh you misunderstood, I already know all this.
The comic is to point out why it’s difficult to grow adoption of a non-android / Apple smartphone.
Even what you think is a simplified explanation is, unfortunately, too complex for most as well. Tech literacy is REALLY bad in many places. Most don’t know what an “operating system” is, in many cases don’t know what a hard drive is (of any kind). Software is basically magic to them. Your explanation is great for people who already know the basic concepts, but sadly most of the population isn’t even at that level.
And this isn’t only the elderly btw, younger people are just as clueless these days because many schools don’t do computer classes anymore.
