That is a good point about having graphene as an option on some phones.
I was talking about the version of the glasses that will be sold without cameras.

I don’t think the parent prioritizes time with son, rather, $20 could pacify them for a while

In what way?
Are we assuming that phones aren’t listening all the time and glasses are?
Or that you can theoretically turn off always listening on phones but not on glasses?
Or that the phones are Apple / Google / Samsung, etc, but the glasses are Meta, so that’s different?
Or just that phones are already out of the barn, and one listening device per person is bad enough, but glasses we will have a chance to regulate with common sense data privacy laws?

Right. When they completely changed characters in League of Legends that was also annoying, especially because it was pvp, but it was also a toxic game overall.

on Artemis II commander and pilot become NASA's first astronaut emeriti in c/technology@lemmy.world · 11 Sep 2026
What about all the other old astronauts?
Here is context from the article:
The commander and pilot of NASA’s Artemis II mission have gained a new distinction five months after splashing down from the Moon: They’re not fully retiring from the space agency.
Reid Wiseman and Victor Glover are the first astronauts to join NASA’s emeritus program, enabling them to continue to support the work being done at Johnson Space Center in Houston. They will remain available to train and mentor the current workforce while still being able to pursue employment and opportunities outside of NASA.
“I have asked NASA … to not use the term ‘retire’ as much, but technically emeritus is a retirement program,” Glover told collectSPACE.com on Wednesday. “It’s something we have typically done for scientists when they have groundbreaking research, and they want to go back to academia to teach or to research and publish.”

Slay the Spire 2 is like this also.
Honestly it feels like a full game already, with some things just unlocking on a real-time unlock timer (some of the flavor text art assets aren’t done yet, but the placeholders are charming, and new ones are added all the time).
I don’t think it would be as fun as a finished product, where the balance didn’t change every few weeks, and you have to relearn what cards do and what enemies are like.
P.S., RIP Doormaster Boss! You were too cool for this world

That goes to show how easy it is to leave words out and not realize it!
In my other answer to the post, I try to explain what possible reasons there might be for the sentence making intuitive sense to me, even though I missed all the possible ambiguities until they were pointed out.

Huh, oh i see what you’re saying now.
If I’ve never been to Berlin, than the number of people who have been to Berlin is greater than the number of me.
Where P = number of people who have been to Berlin.
Me = number of me, who hasn’t been to Berlin = 1
P > 1.
It seems like what you’re saying is that this sentence either obvious on its face, because Berlin is a major City that plenty of people have obviously been to, or ambiguous that it is comparing the number of times I’ve been to Berlin to something undefined. I would agree that on closer inspection, the question is ambiguous!
I would also say that P is also implicitly context dependent, in other undefined ways. Perhaps i mean that there are other people in my situation who have been to Berlin, where i have not.
One underlying assumption I’m discovering through this discussion is that to me, the sentence implies that the speaker has been to Berlin zero times. But on closer inspection, that isn’t the only way to read it. In a context where it wasn’t clear if the speaker had been to Berlin or not, it would make much less sense.
Have you heard of the book “thinking fast and slow?” by kahneman? I’m not sure how rigorous the science is, but it has other examples of sentences that people will interpret incorrectly if they aren’t thinking carefully, because of the way that brains make unconscious assumptions to save energy and try not to think that hard.
Some examples are, “What do Cows drink?” people who have to answer quickly without thought tend to say milk.
Another:
(1) A bat and a ball cost $1.10 in total. The bat costs $1.00 more than the ball.
How much does the ball cost? _____ cents
Most people answering quickly say $0.10

Huh, cool! No I’m being serious. It makes sense to me, even if it isn’t grammatical – i wouldn’t notice that it wasn’t grammatical except that it was pointed out in the meme.
Maybe how much sense it makes is determined culturally.
If i were trying to remove more ambiguity, i would say, “I have been to Berlin zero times. More people have been to Berlin than I have been.”
The last “been” is one of those “assumed” words that linguists talk about people leaving out of sentences.
Let me know if that makes more sense.

on The 'OG' online map platform, MapQuest, says it won't change the name of Lake Ontario in c/technology@lemmy.world · 28 Aug 2026
The distinction is that before Trump decided to hijack it for political purposes, the US government put a lot of thought and work into official names.
For big things like the gulf of Mexico, or lake Ontario, there shouldn’t be a lot of confusion. But what about the little creek by your house? A series of inlets on a coastline? What if you have dozens of places with the same name; how do you differentiate? What if you have regional local names that differ from the name that outsiders use? What if you have competing names in general parlance? When you type it into a gps, where will it send you?
The U.S. Board of Geographical Names handled all these issues and more, and had been a trusted authority on place names, that mapmakers, businesses, and other governments all trusted to do a good job.
Still today, you can check out the GNIS and find out all kinds of cool stuff. Try searching for “Sugarloaf” to find all the mountains people named after a common thing, or “Denali” or “Washington”; you can find a lot of cool stuff on here, including alternate names for places. (https://www.usgs.gov/tools/geographic-names-information-system-gnis)
It is disgusting that the republicans are destroying years and years of slowly building trust and doing good work that helps all Americans because (check notes) it would be funny if he decreed the name were stupider?

Could of is gibberish, i agree with you there.
But making something twice as short makes perfect sense to me. However short it is now, make it half that size.
What is the confusion?
-
on €2.99 or €3.49? Proton VPN's Pricing Test Exposed in c/technology@lemmy.world · 9 Aug 2026
I disagree. Twice as short would be half the length if you asked me (same as twice as long, in a glass half empty, half full situation).
In a similar but different example, if you have a 1000 word essay and you cut it to 500 words, you could make it twice as short again by cutting it to 250 words.
Where? Are you talking about the camera version or the mic-only version?
One other argument i can think of is that with phones, it is suspected that they are passing what they listen to up to cloud servers for ads and stuff, but hard to confirm.
With the glasses they will definitely be sending data from microphone to Meta’s servers.
