Definitely made me do a double take there.

I’m not a hero.

The word ‘monosyllabic’ isn’t monosyllabic.

The word ‘alphabetic’ isn’t alphabetic.

The word ‘palindrome’ isn’t a palindrome.

Absolutely. I’ve come to realize that you just can’t have a positively minded, widely federated community on Lemmy about something the majority of active users across the system feel negatively about. It’s a shame, but I might just end up filtering the community and waiting for better times.

There’s this worry that high intelligence itself drives you to be more dismissive of other people. I don’t really think that’s the case. I think intelligence can help you understand and sympathize better with other people.

Anyway, if you go by IQ, the upper one percentile score about 135 or higher, so that’s where your dividing line would be in raw numbers.

But since intelligence is distributed in a continuum, it wouldn’t make sense for everyone at or above 135 to consider everyone else equally ‘dumb’ - even if they did choose to use the IQ-scale to gauge everyone’s ‘stupidity’.

To do so would be like you getting first place in a spelling contest by a single point and then concluding that the person in second place (and everyone following) must be completely illiterate.

All that being said, the one percent really are very far from average. One way of putting it is that these people are further from the average than average people are from the ‘extremely low’ range (>69).

One of the reasons I recently opted for the M1

Think of hydrogen-power as more of a battery.

Batteries have to be charged with energy from an energy source. And hydrogen has to be produced with energy from an energy source.

I miss the easily accessible album view. Back in the day you could tap to ‘flip’ the cover. Now it’s hidden in a three-dot menu item.

Honestly seems like a good question for chatGPT (is this frowned upon? —edit: yes ):

Phones typically come with SMS delivery reports turned off by default for several reasons:

• User Experience: Enabling delivery reports for every SMS can clutter the messaging interface and make it more complicated for users, especially those who are not familiar with the feature. Keeping it turned off by default ensures a cleaner and simpler user experience.
• Privacy: Some users may be concerned about their privacy, and enabling delivery reports can reveal when they read a message. By defaulting to off, phone manufacturers respect users’ privacy choices. Network Overhead: Sending delivery reports consumes a small amount of network resources. When enabled for all messages, this can add up and potentially lead to increased network traffic. By defaulting to off, network operators can manage their resources more efficiently.
• Compatibility: SMS delivery reports may not be supported by all carriers or may work differently on different networks. Keeping them off by default ensures that users have a consistent experience regardless of the carrier they use.
• Simplicity: Many users don’t need or want delivery reports for every message they send. By keeping the feature turned off by default, phone manufacturers reduce the complexity of messaging settings. Users who want to enable SMS delivery reports can usually do so through their phone’s messaging settings. This allows for a more customized experience based on individual preferences.

I dislike feeding an algorithm, knowing my interaction will be monetized in all sorts of ways and helping companies profile me. This is less of a concern here.
