Problem I get is some places call it an Americano when us Aussies generally call it a long black. Same shit with cup sizes, it's maddening when you have to figure out how to order your usual at some place pretending to be more upmarket than they are

As others have said, just avoid McCafe like the plague find an actual coffee spot via recommendations from locals

Findings could improve training for lip readers and boost the capacity for artificial intelligence to read lips and provide transcription and other digital services.

Horrifying potential for AI but I guess you do have to throw it in the mix in order to get funding for research like this

100%. From the arstechnica piece:

Making Old Reddit users log in could impact Reddit scraping but also will address Reddit’s interest in connecting as much traffic as possible to specific users—a strategy that is common among companies like Reddit that rely on advertising for revenue.

I just found this out naturally and immediately came to lemmy to see if someone's posted about it.

Seriously I don't want a reddit account and old.reddit.com without logging in has been a great way of checking up on the odd thing without having an account and being stuck in the dark patterns that keep you engaging

Tea means gossip. It's queer slang that also broke out into the vocab of those white gen alpha kids

Not a huge loss as they pretty neatly tied the story back into The Boys. For those that didn't click through, the showrunners have noted that some of those character's stories will still be explored:

“While we wish we could keep the party going another season at Godolkin, we’re committed to continuing the Gen V characters’ stories in The Boys Season 5 and other VCU projects on the horizon,” said VCU executive producers Eric Kripke and Evan Goldberg. “You’ll see them again.”

Gen V Season 2 SpoilersI kinda disliked the forcing of the characters back into Godolkin University in S2. It felt strange as the characters seemed to have developed well past that university storytelling device. If they were to announce a Season 3 and did the same thing of bringing them all back to GodU then it could absolutely risk existing just to beat the money horse and sour fan's enjoyment of the series.
