I agree.
I think there are places in the world where people consider their accent to be 'neutral', but I'm pretty sure no-one from my neck of the woods would think that.
All the accents sound like somebody from... somewhere in the third world...? but with a small trace of the named accent.
I don't know if that's intended - maybe the different recordings are not supposed to sound like their label but like a foreigner who learned English while around people with that accent?
The definition of autism has changed to pull in masses more people over the years, so if you're an older software engineer you may be autistic using the up-to-date definition.
With the DSM-5 and it's removal of Asperger's as a separate diagnosis the diagnosis criteria has been made stricter. People that would have formerly been diagnosed as Asperger could theoretically not be anymore under ASD.
The percentage of people with autism in a population is very stable and we know there is a huge genetic component to it.
People are getting diagnosed more but the amount of people with autism has likely stayed stable.
Which is really, really good thing. A diagnosis is live changing. The earlier you get diagnosed and the more supportive your network is, the better the outcome.
I'm not sure taste is a meaningful term in anything other than aesthetics.
One argument here was that good taste is about being flexible when picking technical solutions - I don't see how this is "good taste".
Interesting. I screenshot then send to Google Lens which is obviously more of a hassle than what you're describing. But I have gestures enabled and so no home button. I wonder what is the gesture-equivalent of long-pressing on home.
On my Pixel 5, if you swipe from the bottom bar up (as if you are gesturing to close the app), near the bottom some options will appear: Screenshot or Select. The Select mode is an OCR enabled text selection.
This just takes me to the horizontal scrolling list of apps displayed as screenshots of the app.
I can swipe from the bottom corner to bring up "Gemini" but that doesn't have an option to OCR the screen. Android is so diverse - people always end up talking about their unique and differing experiences, unfortunately.
I don't think so. I think it raises peoples' hackles because it is "not something we do here" - English-speaking countries seem to not go with mandatory ID in the same way as continental Europe. Maybe a Napoleonic/Common-Law thing?
This seems to be a pub bore talking point... the usual seemingly-clever street-level arguments that don't stand up to serious scrutiny.
If people think that if they get ID card, the government is coming to take their precious bodily fluids, then the country has bigger cultural, political problems than a mere public safety measure.
Some of the UK's biggest industries are money laundering and offshore tax evasion schemes for the very rich. They're literally worth hundreds of billions a year.
It's not a pub bore talking point, it's an oligarch and non-dom talking point. A lot of rich people would be inconvenienced if beneficial owner information records had reliable links to real people.
The pub bores are collateral damage - people who post unironically about privacy on social media.
