The mic is broken on my Pixel 6 and the Pixel camera resets to use the internal mic every time it starts, where Open Camera will save the setting to use an external mic. I may have had to tweak settings initially to get good quality but it's been fine for a long time. Black Magic would auto switch to external mic (as does Samsung, btw) but the video was absolute unusable garbage on Black Magic on the Pixel. I don't know if they've fixed it yet but there was something terribly wrong with it. All of that led me to using Open Camera by default.
Canadian here. There's nothing wrong with the shortened American spelling of words. They're perfectly understandable and more efficient. We should be doing it with a ton more words with silent letters. Y'all should be more like Canadians and just understand and accept all the spellings and pronunciations.
People with a severe learning disability or profound and multiple learning disability (PMLD) will need more care and support with areas such as mobility, care and communication.
And from Wikipedia:
People with Severe ID (IQ 20–34), accounting for 3.5% of persons with ID, or Profound ID (IQ 19 or below), accounting for 1.5% of people with ID, need more intensive support and supervision for their entire lives. They may learn some [activities of daily living], but an intellectual disability is considered severe or profound when individuals are unable to independently care for themselves without ongoing significant assistance from a caregiver throughout adulthood.
I think that could qualify as "pretty much a vegetable", if a bit crass.
IQ tests don't define IQ, they're a tool to measure IQ. Standard tests have a "floor" (say 70 or 50) below which they don't give an accurate number, just a general "below the floor" indication. Similarly, they would have a ceiling.
A professionally administered test can maybe identify a more specific IQ at low levels, and would be used for someone who maybe can't function at the level of taking a standard test.
To say anything other than FOSS on Lemmy is like self immolation.
That said, I'm mixed, always have been. I use what works for me. Generally, now, I will look for FOSS first, resort to paid if necessary. I use and contribute to FOSS but there are certain paid, closed, things that just work better for me. The paying part is a little hit or miss, but there are absolutely a couple of pieces of software that I paid for to get support, or features locked out of the free version. And I don't regret it because I use those features regularly, and I am happy to fund the free version for users who can't afford it - especially since I used the free version for years myself and loved it.
There's a major piece of FOSS that I avoid. It ends up taking over my life trying to get things to work properly and I hate it. It makes me physically uncomfortable thinking about it, and it makes me an outcast here on Lemmy. And I may have to use it again soon and I'm dreading it.
And I'll say it again, the 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 year old girls that you guys were referring to, they knew exactly what they were doing. Chances are they weren't 13. But if they were - they weren't - but if they were, they knew exactly what they were doing. Just like you did everything that you did when you were 15 years old. Underneath the bleachers, at somebody else's house, skipping school in a car. All of those items that you were doing, they're doing the same thing. Don't try to make them victims. Now unless somebody pulled up in a white van with no windows, and threw them in the van with a fucking pillow case over their head, they weren't victims, okay? They went knowing what they were what they were doing. They wanted [rubs fingers], they wanted money. Did they get it? Well then, transaction complete.
There are places where its the only option. Plus marketing that tells women their babies will die without nestle formula.
