My car has been broken for weeks but I haven’t bothered fixing it because I can walk to everything I need and own an escooter (and a bike i’m slowly fixing) for anything further. Even my new office is only a 25 minute walk away. I’m not even sure what gas prices are right now and I don’t really care
The right to privacy is important
Only time it’s acceptable is in front of a cop since they can’t be trusted to operate the cameras they should be wearing themselves
I’m so happy Ryan found Canada “too woke” and sold GameStop’s Canadian branch. Only good thing he’s done because now it’s rebranded back to the proper EB Games name and owned by Canadians
Why is a company or person that doesn’t exist physically in Utah at all responsible for adhering to Utah’s laws?
This line of thinking is dangerous as it allows companies to disregard any sane legislation as long as their servers are located in a “safe” place. A large portion of websites accessible from Canada are served from US servers, for example. American companies ignoring Canadian laws because they don’t have Canadian-based servers would be a nightmare
If a company makes any money off users in a geographic area (which includes ad view revenue), they have to follow the rules there which is a GOOD thing - even if it’s ridiculous in this case
Also endorsing governments selectively blocking websites is just bad for obvious reasons
Hey maybe computer components will cost a sane amount in the sane rest of the west
I initially disagreed but after actually reading the post, I’m with you. If it was only the article’s text that was generated and not the data or graphs then I don’t see why the whole thing would be written off. I mean, it’s really sad seeing people offload their writing to AI but I still found it interesting.
+1 to Garage being great! I used it for a personal project and it worked really well. A lot of S3 data browsing clients also support it natively or just through API compatibility too
Yeah not really sure what the OP comment is implying. Like as if doctors are taking the piss with their recommendations rather than them being the best choice based on the science available at that time
The state or computer science right now is soul crushing
What features out of curiosity? I haven’t used Nova since like Android 7
lmao, they remove it when they *find* it, they’re not actively looking for it. In fact, I bet they’re actively trying to avoid ways to take it down.
Yeah, I don’t use IG but my wife has reported explicitly nazi glorification content before but because the account would say “for historical purposes only”, they just say they didn’t find anything wrong with the posts. Fuck Meta
You can say the same for any fascist and warmongering country. Sub in Russia, Nazi Germany, etc. It doesn’t change a thing
Nah, I don’t feel bad for the people committing war crimes in a pointless, illegal, and unjustified “special military operation” against a country just as I don’t feel bad for any of the non conscripted* soldiers in Russia’s attack on Ukraine.
*I do feel for anyone who was basically forced at gunpoint into the meatgrinder
Would they actually be able to afford it? Investors have been throwing endless amounts of money onto the fire but in OpenAI’s case at least, it was all essentially bought like “I’ll pay you later, trust me”, right?
I’d assume convincing companies twice that you’re trustworthy enough to buy the world’s supply of RAM with an IOU wouldn’t be possible but I guess I thought the same thing for the first time as well
edit: either way, I’d take a longer period of expensive RAM if it meant a giant “fuck you” to the AI companies
I’ve seen coding used since like the late aughts and that’s just because I started getting into programming around that time
It’s by no means Linux but I actually do find MacOS quite customisable, especially if you spend a lot of time in the command line. It’s going in the opposite direction in the last couple years of course but you could straight up run the i3 TWM in XQuartz on MacOS if you wanted to
What customisations do you find MacOS lacks?
I’m not sure we’re talking about the same people here. I’d hesitantly lend more sympathy to an American soldier more broadly fighting in this war but not to those who directly commit war crimes whether that be shooting (and worse) children or knowingly dropping bombs on schools or hospitals.
Anyone who doesn’t immediately know that’s wrong has something severely wrong with them
edit: and also yeah, regarding your point about Canada doesn’t really change anything. I’d feel exactly the same way regarding any Canadian soldier doing the same thing. While Canada is feeling quite nice right now compared to the USA, we’ve done and continue to do some absolutely vile shit, no question
Have you actually read into some of the shit Americans have done? I wouldn’t even want to fucking cooperate with anyone who took part in the My Lai massacre or anything else like that.
To copy/paste from Wikipedia:
The Mỹ Lai Massacre […] was a United States war crime committed on 16 March 1968, involving the mass murder of unarmed civilians in Sơn Mỹ village, Quảng Ngãi province, South Vietnam, during the Vietnam War. At least 347 and up to 504 civilians, almost all women, children and elderly men, were murdered by U.S. Army soldiers. Some of the women were gang-raped and their bodies mutilated, and some soldiers mutilated and raped children as young as 12.
(emphasis mine)
edit: oh and the most justice that came of that was that one person got house arrest for three years
Meta is largely the reason for the current state of the world via their purposeful boosting of alt-right talking points. They’ve helped incite a genocide ffs. They’re not actively on the streets shooting people but this is what the company pushed for
I’m not American but I am in tech and have been unemployed since January and even though my financial situation is grim, Meta and Palantir are two companies I would never, ever work for or even apply to. There’s always plenty of other companies to apply to (which is what I did and I start somewhere tomorrow!)
