They deliver goods to big box stores, not to the kinds of stores one finds in a dense, walkable downtown core area. I have worked in the delivery industry, and we served the downtown core entirely with 5-ton and 3-ton trucks and cargo vans. It’s simply not practical to get a full-sized trailer in there.
None of what we speak today is “proper English.” Languages are constantly evolving.
There haven’t been any issues, so I don’t see why development is needed.
SMS/MMS do not count toward data usage here. They are free and unlimited.
You say that as if I don’t already know it. But what am I supposed to do, abandon every friend who prefers it?
Many people do use Discord as a messaging app. I am really only using it for private messages when I am on data.
I only have two Signal contacts, and no group chats. Video is set to download only on WiFi, but I do need to be able to see images.
Photos use a decent amount of data regardless of what app you’re sending them by.
Because SMS is inherently feature-lite. But it’s free and unlimited, which is kind of the whole point of using it over a feature-rich app that uses data.
If I wanted a messaging app with advanced features, I wouldn’t be using the SMS app that came with my phone.
I’m really not. 75% of my data this month has been used by Signal and Discord.
Similar to Silence, a Signal fork that worked over SMS that I used to use. Glad to see the idea is still alive.
Not everyone has a large data plan. I am very aware of how much messaging taxes my data plan: the entirety of my data is already used by it.
I personally use QKSMS, which isn’t perfect, but it’s all I’ve been able to stand since Signal dropped SMS support.
This RCS stuff scares me a bit, because it sounds like it will function over a data connection and not be nearly as universal of a standard as SMS/MMS is. There are already a million such apps and standards if one wants to use data for messaging. Trying to sneak it on top of SMS is very annoying. If I use my SMS app, I want my messages to be sent as such. Getting a surprise data bill shouldn’t be a fear.
Absolutely this. The first half of his first book in any given series always feels like it’s going to lead to something amazing, then nothing. I feel like another writer could take his unique ideas and do something really cool with them, but I won’t ever read Sanderson again.
Sometimes I wonder if he managed to wrap up Wheel of Time satisfyingly for its fans.
It has an interesting idea for its world and magic, and then fleshes it out with the most infuriatingly boring set of characters. The main character is bland enough to allow a reader to self-insert to a degree (this is similar to the main character in Twilight — something that people critique it for.) Then some of the supporting characters border on harmful stereotypes. Plus, I guessed the “twist” in the first trilogy very early on.
Aesthetically I want to like it, but I found it awful. I only read it because it was the #1 rated fantasy book on Goodreads at the time, and since then I haven’t listened to aggregated internet reviews for anything.
Any time I see Mistborn on a list like this, I immediately become dubious about the person’s taste and discount the rest of the list.
Yes, if you read the post you’ll see that it’s an issue with Kbin not federating properly.
Unless you desperately need to free up room in your tiny SSD to make room for Baldur’s Gate 3. I recently used a tool like this to get rid of a bunch of old logs and things and managed to free up tens of gigabytes of precious space.
I highly recommend configuring qBittorrent to only connect to the VPN interface, so if your VPN is off it will simply not connect to the internet at all.
I usually right click the window in the app bar and choose the “stay on top” option. This issue only happens in Wayland, also. in X11 it stays on top as expected.
