This is not the normal human experience. Check if you're a robot?

A metric tonne (1000 kg) should be called a megagram (1 Mg). in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

it's from the Latin "libra", for balance, like a set of scales. the £ symbol for pounds as in money is a stylised L for the same reason!

etymology lesson over, imperial/customary gtfo resumes. metric ftw.

Is MacOS Ventura much more difficult to use as a pirate than its predecessors? (lemmy.world)
 

I have seen that Ventura has much tighter inspections of modifications to executables. From that article :

The more stringent codesigning checks in Ventura verify that all notarized apps are correctly signed and have not been modified by unauthorized processes, even after the first launch. This is an improvement from previous versions of macOS, where Gatekeeper would only validate applications during their initial launch and would regard the file as trusted once it was successfully launched.

Should I stick with the previous MacOS version for as long as possible? I really don't want to have to give money to fucking Adobe.

spoilerAlso - shut up, the apple lappie was literally half price because of a superficial tiny dent on one corner. I mostly use Linux.

Everyone Watches TV with Subtitles Now. How’d That Happen? in c/moviesandtv@lemmy.film

Alec is a total bro. I have no particular need for subtitles myself, but recommend his channel to people learning English because I know we can totally trust the subtitles, they're not autogenerated.
