I mean, many (several?) sites tried optional subscriptions where you pay to get rid of ads, but that doesn't seem to have worked. Judging by the fact that most sites that have subscriptions instead of ads use pay walls.

People have come to expect free access, so if you can easily use an ad blocker, why would you choose to pay to remove the ads that a blocker removes for free.

In this context (IIRC) smart means "if this zip contains a single folder with contents, directly extract that folder, but if the zip contains files and/or folders, extract all that to a new folder named the same as the zip file".

Some people zip folders while some people zip the files in a folder. Smart extraction just handles both automatically.

While I'd like to think the wealthiest would do something that would benefit everyone, they can just build walls, or move to higher ground.

Your take on climate change makes me more worried. Sure, I will probably be fine, but how many innocent people around the world will die until we've done enough to see the climate improving?

How horrible is the world going to be to inhabit if the Gulf Stream collapses? Or other major climate disruptions occur?

I don't doubt the human race will survive, but why do we have to experience the pain before committing to fixing the problem?

Oh yeah I'd prefer metric, but I was just being consistent with the thread, as the actual units are somewhat beside my point.

Now to find why I didn't get a notification for this reply...

Cubic feet would be better, especially as taller vehicles are more dangerous to pedestrians.

Calling something magic because you're using that to mean "something made with science beyond my understanding" is definitely different from using it as "this is literally magic made by sorcerers".

One is a joke, the other is evidence of the failure of the educational system.

And companies that need to print more frequently probably already have some kind of subscription, because there are already printing companies that fill that niche.

While this is useful, it could be even better! If the AndroidManifest.xml also contained support for Facebook, TikTok and Instagram links it could be set to directly open them instead needing to share it to mpv.

Sounds like the battery itself will have a QR code, so I imagine manufacturers of interchangeable packs will have to print the QR code on the battery pack itself.

Thank you for actually reading my comment and suggesting something appropriate, though I'm not convinced by the UI images. I'll have to test the touch support myself, but I'll check it out.

Thank you for actually reading my comment and suggesting something appropriate! I'll have to figure out how to get the package file myself, thanks!
