Yes, but not just that. Opening a document in Word is for the writer.
A pet peeve of mine is when I’m sent a user guide as a Word document complete with squiggly lines under the words it doesn’t know.
Even worse is when a colleague sends a document like that to a customer.
PDF is a published file format, I find it hard to imagine a world where you could convince me downloading the user manual for my motherboard or downloading Lego assembly instructions should come as a word document.
I bet this person thinks all raster images should be bitmaps. Sorry maybe that was too harsh.
He wasn’t even a landlord, he was an employee that worked for the owner of the land (the Wikipedia page calls this a land agent).
This reminds me of a toy one of my kids got given from my mum.
Apparently it was a giraffe. A giraffe without the one defining feature of a giraffe.
It says here it’s 100 total: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/plans/plan-types.htm
The Trial plan is limited to 100 total searches. This plan is suited for those interested in exploring Kagi and curious about paid search engines.
Is it 100 a month? I thought it was 100 total, no specified time frame. It’s intended as a trial period not a free tier.
Supporting this, Lemmy encourages people not to use DMs and wants people to add Matrix user details to their profile instead.

I’ve worked on this project a decade. That is a long time and I need to move on in life.
Sounds like a single person maintaining such a large project for such a long time means eventually you have had enough. I get that.
I guess it depends what you value. I have a Framework 13, first generation. I run Linux on it and really enjoyed putting it together myself (I ordered the DIY option).
I absolutely love their ports. You swap in the ports you want. I normally run a USB C on either side (so I can charge from either side) plus a USB A on each side (the Framework 13 has two slots each side, I think the 16 might have 3 each side?). But I also have HDMI, Display Port, and micro SD in case I need them. I can hot swap them in.
Their guides are awesome. I broke a screen and was able to order another and replace it myself following their guide. When the time comes (probably in the next year or so) I’m planning on upgrading. A bit like a desktop, since it’s been a few years it means replacing the motherboard (what they call the mainboard) and RAM since technology moves on. I"m pretty sure like all laptops the CPU is fixed to the mainboard, but you can upgrade RAM or storage without replacing the whole guts (assuming same slot type). In fact you can buy without some pieces and reuse stuff you have or buy from elsewhere to save some money.
When I eventually do it I’m planning on strapping the old mainboard to the back of my TV as a HTPC (replacing the old dying laptop currently there).
There are plenty of downsides. No touchscreen. I wish the screen was a little brighter, it’s not bad but could be better (might be better with later models?). I replaced the hinges with their more resistant ones but the screen still moves if I carry it around with the screen open (not sure if it’s still an issue on newer models).
I really value the idea of repairability and upgradeability. When I was younger you could swap a bigger harddrive or RAM into a laptop if you had a screwdriver (and sometimes even without), and repairing other parts was also possible. These days you’re more likely to find the whole thing glued together. Framework lets you do your own repairs, and has guides to walk you through every step.
There are probably more downsides, but I do love it and would buy another in a heartbeat. But if there are special things you need then carefully check. For example last I checked they did not have a full size SD card reader module available (though of course you can use a regular external one if you really need to).
I thought barometers were initially included to help with location. Air pressure isn’t just for weather, it also helps work out your altitude.
To be fair, if you don’t know about how gravity works, you would just hold up a rock, drop it, and say obviously things can move without someone moving it.
They could have had them not use a screen for some of the study and use it for others, but after reading the article and skimming the paper I can’t see any indication they did this. It seems they just sent out a survey and concluded people who use their phones in bed go to sleep later so that must be the cause.
