Depends on what you’re trying to upscale.

This would be illegal in a world not run by Microsoft and companies like it.

Why don’t people trust Signal?

Oh, so mobile-only.

How did you do that?

I hate that YouTube Music keeps trying to make me waste my bandwidth on videos that have worse audio quality than when it just plays the song. 0/10 smoothbrain design, probably just to sell more video ads.

What were the multiple awful visits for?

My point was that using the Sun, Earth, or really any object as a reference is arbitrary and the “same position” at two different points in time is completely undefined.

Actually 🤓, position and velocity are relative, so that’s a nonsensical statement without defining a reference object for the Earth’s position. If we’re not assuming you end up safely on dry land, you could just as easily end up light-years away as wherever you were relative to the sun.

And after 200 years of matriarchy, people would be saying that women are evil and we should have a patriarchy. Whoever holds the power always ends up oppressing whoever doesn’t.

I’d love to live in a society where no particular gender held most positions of power or had more legislative influence.

Even nerf bullets can hurt you if they’re shot at you in sufficient quantities.

I don’t mind them adding ads.

I’m gonna stop you right there.

It doesn’t sound like they typically check for most items, just the expensive ones and the date on the receipt. That makes it even more theater and less practical.

Of course, it’s perfectly reasonable that if you know someone stole something, you can stop them. Under the prerequisite conditions section, it is stated that:

The shopkeeper has reasonable grounds to suspect the particular person detained is shoplifting.

Wouldn’t that mean that someone who has done nothing suspicious other than refusing the check would not be giving anyone reasonable grounds to stop them? Or does just refusing count as reasonable grounds and make the check effectively legally mandatory?

someone who can is waiting(and the salarymen can, shopkeeper’s privilege apparently in the US)

Can you elaborate on this? I’ve never heard of it.

Captchas are actually a great tool for reducing spam and botting. Depending on the platform, they can directly benefit you. Captchas and manual approval for Lemmy account signups are directly responsible for the lack of spambots on this platform. The problem is that captchas got co-opted to force people to give companies free AI training data.

It literally costs them money to make YouTube worse so that you can pay them to make it better again. NewPipe go brrrrrr

“But I don’t want to eat the moldy cabbage on the ground outside!”

“Okay, do you have an alternative, or are you just gonna whine? Eat up!”

They probably did this specifically because people were upvoting our favorite plumber.
