Assuming it isn’t a fisheye lens, then the best reference is the fence and trees in the top left corner. Without that fence though I think it would be a lot harder :)

Goblin says: we can arm wrestle for 10%. But I warn you, I am stronger than I look.

Those poor toe beans

My cat loves it when I boot up Stray.

Sounds fun. But there’s a huge Venn diagram overlap between them and the sovcits, covid-hoax, various types of “truthers” and doomsday cult types. So the target market, if you’re marketing to preppers, is not just the clever Doctor Stone cosplayers.

Making jelly out of our grapes. One plant produced 8kg of grapes this year, which meant 3L of juice. This froth is the cauldron where I’m boiling it with a metric fucktonne of sugar…

So, Stray?

The lighting bothers me. The froth was transient however and I didn’t really have time to adjust lighting.

Can’t remember. But it was worth a picture

When I ordered, the server comes up and says: we’re out of Nutella pie – can we substitute this other pie? And we basically burst into tears because it’s a cocktail topper pie slice…

In Canada, it’s just a Caesar. And literally no one orders a Bloody Marie here (Caesars are basically our national drink now). We have egregious overproduced version like the above as well. Took this photo of a menu in Vancouver.

If the Kindle is a tablet, then yes. If the Kindle is an e-reader, then no.

I don’t think Kobo has that option. I just toggle on my wifi hotspot on my phone though and that works just fine.

Comics and graphic novels mostly. Maybe scientific papers and textbooks.

Oh you mean the point for Amazon? Extract money

Articles like this always tend to overlook the fact that Bell Labs wasn’t unique in its time. And other companies had very similar labs running. A famous example is Xerox Labs which invented the computer mouse and graphical windowing, among other things.

Google had this vibe too, prior to going public.

This has a Toronto Island feel to it. Where is it?

Weirdly enough, .Net works relatively well on Linux (at least the core components). Parts of the framework are even various degrees of open sourced.

Should we tell them? ;)

Is there a “government” version or similar, where security is paramount? Like, how does MS sell windows 11 to the navy or whatever…?

Sometimes people get caught up trying to find exact matches for software, when instead it’s a combination of tools that gets the job done on another OS. The annoying thing is learning new toolsets – but it’s only annoying until you know them.
