My favorite part of "Person, woman, man, camera, TV" was that I don't think those were the words on the test. They were all things that were in his direct line of vision when he was talking to a person man on camera for TV.

@georgetakei Trump has had exactly two reasonable opinions that I'm aware of. During the start of the trans bathroom issue he said 'Who cares, it didn't bother anyone before', and he abandoned that line of thinking almost immediately. And the penny thing.

I wish the penny thing wasn't the issue he had follow though on.

@codinghorror This also reminds me of a video I saw where some kids were given a rotary phone and asked to successfully dial a given number. They got SOO close, except they kept using a "hook flash" to "send" the number. Which makes sense because on modern phones (cordless and cell) you dial the number first, then hit send. Versus connecting first, and then dialing the number.

@codinghorror They spent a lot of real estate on the difference between numbers and letters. I'd think just one example would suffice.

"Where's the zero? Oh, never mind, I found it next to the M and the N."

@Radiojane @theteapixie Didn't say annexation was inaccurate, just to stop using the word.

Invasion has the proper connotation. It gets the point across.

@arstechnica Lack of touchscreen was the reason I went with a different laptop model about a year ago. It seems like such a no-brainer as an option, since it's a feature that some people use every day, and some wouldn't use it if you paid them.

I hope they bring touch screen options to more of their line up and I'll grab one when it's time to upgrade again.

@arstechnica This is great. Often I try to close a video on my phone and I get a little notification or popup saying "Hey, with Premium you can keep the audio playing after closing YouTube"

Dude, I have a hard enough time closing YouTube videos on my phone when I'm done with them. They just keep getting smaller until I swipe away the final floating video box. Sounds like this plan is cheaper and better.

Last time I saw a penny slots machine, you'd feed it a quarter or dollar and it would deduct a penny each spin. No actual pennies need apply.

I realized why I feel like I'm getting worse at clicking on the computer. The border between windows is usually a shadow, and that just vanishes over any app running dark mode.

If I get tired of "staring into a lightbulb" while programming, I might try a dark high contrast theme. Glowing shadows and light borders might defeat the purpose of 'dark', but they have a sweet retro look to them.
