Well, it looks fine for web browsing.
Specs sure read like my 2010 PC. If that works for ya, cool … I ain’t even looking at the price though. I’d just as soon plug in my 2004 laptop that’s still running fine on XP & an old version of Ubuntu.
Interesting, but there’s no evidence they are nazi themselves, just that they intentionally disregard whether any of their partners are nazis, and only concern themselves with whether or not any partnership furthers their goal of promoting open source tech.
So their focus is just limited and immature.
They themselves can still do a lot of good, orgs don’t need to be perfect, but I too would expect them to remove support for extremist led project when made aware, as to ensure they weren’t inadvertently supporting extremist views and actions. But I also can’t see punishing them for being politically or socially stupid while otherwise being very tech savvy.
Like we’ve never met a socially awkward tech savvy person before?
The world is mostly a bunch of grey areas: at this point I disapprove of a couple of their actions, but I won’t boycott them outright for their error.
If they started flying nazi flags themselves, well, then, I suppose things would be a bit different.
"The name “Zoox” is a reference to Zooxanthellae, a marine organism that, like the Zoox robotaxi, depends on renewable energy and is able to maintain a symbiotic relationship with organisms in its surrounding habitat.“
Actually kinda cool, but appropriately dumbed down to be usable in modern coversation, “hold on a sec, my Zoox just pulled up.”
Everything everyone today says or thinks is plagiarized… Move along already, it don’t matter none. What does matter is how it, whatever it is, either benefits society or hurts it.
Fun read. Suprised how much of the codespeak I understood. I’ve run linux here or there, and I used to do some hackery decades ago. I’m no modern botnet runner, but it seems things haven’t changed all too much.
Handy, I VPN, but constantly have to use a seperate bypass browser for shopping and any website which forces language by region, which are many.
I’ve even been to some shopping sites with language options at the bottom but that also have endless scroll, so the bottom keeps getting pushed of screen.
There are a few that have an option right up in the corner, but sometimes they’ll only switch language, not region info, so it still shows costs in pesos and $80 shipping to my region.
The internet is 90% trash nowadays.
Hope this fixes that BS.
Funny, the statute $2500 should be for the circumvention act, which was likely singular, not per file obtained during or as a result of the act. And the $150k is ridiculous in and of itself, even if for all files obtained. What a strange world we live in.
Spotify built a system of control in order to profit a few at a cost to many, perhaps everyone else.
Someone broke that system in order to benefit many, possibly at the cost of some of their ability to profit from their system of control–if they didn’t lose customers, or prospective customers, they didn’t experience any financial loss, or a loss in their ability to maintain their system of control (which is still very much in place and working).
Either way, nobody was hurt.
But the person who acted selflessly to benefit of society in general is punished.
Because… We, as a society, celebrate and work effortlessly to maintain complex systems of abuse in order to satisfy our greed or the greed of others. All despite being taught in school not to lie to and bully each other, and to share with and care for each other.
As a species: We are bat shit fucking crazy!
Certainly comparable… Less instances of murder, less direct impact on accused social justice offenders, more impact on fellow victims of accused social justice offender.
Likely not as well thought out action, more emotional reaction.
Certainly comparable.
She should just donate all the profits going forward, and focus on making sure anything on the platform is legit consensual sex work and not people being forced into it. Not that I think that happens a lot, but she sounds like she’d be up for improving the system to better know for sure, and provide better support and resources for sex workers in general.
Well, I originally saw both Blair Witch and H20 played from really dark and messy VHS copies of theater recordings… And man, let me tell ya, they were both way better as low quality cams that HD movies!
I intentionally watch bad Horror as cams now, when I can, even decades later… It really adds to the experience!
Does this mean epubs won’t stop and require a new page to load at the end of chapters / new file segments?
It’s one of my biggest gripes switching from mobi single file ebooks to epub multi-file ebooks.
Should just append the next file and allow the flow to continue.
Been waiting for such a change for epub reading apps for many years.
Update: OMG yes, it works! (Not by default, scroll mode must be opted-in first via 3-dot menu)
Now I can maintain the same scroll while reading habits I do for online content, PDFs, and Mobi files while reading ePubs! Bout damn time!
This is now my default ebook reader everywhere!
Well, it certainly looks like it rained. Where are the missiles? Is that LA?
Spoiler alert:
That side story, like the others, helps increase the absurdity of the overall story, to show that not only the time traveling bit is unrealistic, the entire story and all it’s parts are. Each party had a story that was equally absurd before the crazy time traveler showed up, but they were all still at that diner acting like they were still in the real world… It’s kinda like a snowball, the stories kinda ramp up to the conclusion, and they all tell different stories through the same lense in order to get there. Then it pulls from all those stories at the end to flip the script.
It was really well done.
I like the idea of a system add-on that randomizes all user age responses with a different date that equals like 25-99years old (assuming 25 years meets the highest age for the applicable standards).
Not too dissimilar from a random MAC address generating feature.
SOs HP laptop borked Win11pro OS, wouldn’t load or recover. Tried reinstalling clean but Win11 installer can’t see SSD. Driver loading during install results in install crashing error.
Linux, here we come.
Why do they last more than a year?
Why do they exist at all?
Meh, far as I’m concerned they can still talk about all these events and facts but they should always do so in a positive and celebratory manner.
Not, this site remembers whatever genocide, but instead, this site remembers the soldiers/citizens who faught against a ruthless group who were at the time commiting genocidal acts against indigenous people… You don’t even need to name the group of assholes. But it’s fine to specifically name the heros and their heroic acts.
Perhaps post education signs that talk about positive changes to an area.
Like in 1998 John Soandso lead a campaign to restore the area you see before you to the healthy natural state it’s in today. Because of that campaign bla bla birds and native plants have returned to the area over the years since. Previous to John’s campaign the area had been heavily over polluted by nearby industrial factories.
Keep any of the bad stuff referenced as a relevant afterthought. Use the good stuff as examples of what to do, of people to look up to.
I saw some similar signs in NC last time I went through, like the ones celebrating the life of a master builder in area who had helped build many of the still standing historic building. Oh yeah, he was also black and a slave, but that wasn’t the point, so it was just kinda noted within the context of the details of his life… Instead the sign celebrated his craft and contributions to the community.
Whatever man.
I change up my writing style pretty much constantly.
And I switch between muliple accounts on several services, each representing a different fictional character.
And I use a VPN.
Yeah, was pretty sure it was something like that…
I used AI to make a Home Alone themed digital Christmas card last year. It was completely PG. But it was a nightmare to do as I kept tripping over gates on account of Kevin being a child and Home Alone being a copyrighted property.
I went all the way to the dark end of the AI gen spectrum, to where kiddie porn abdolutely happens, but the product I produced there was unsatisfactory. So I went alI went back to the top players with all the gates and worked around them by reworking my prompts for what seemed like forever.
1 year earlier I would’ve gotten the results I wanted with my first prompt, maybe tweaking fonts for the words, fixing spelling errors, or making minor visual features. 5min tops.
It really turned me off from continuing to play with AI.
Those gates have gotten really nasty.
It’s as though users are treated as guilty in advance and then denied the opportunity to prove themselves innocent.
Completely backwards attitude and practice.
Yeah, sure, those totally look like polar bear faces and bodies…
Did the artist see any polar bears before carving this, or were they blind and working from verbal description?
Personally, I’m petty sure this is a normal example of 19th century porn.
