Perfect example of how censorship is still dangerous even if it isn’t the government doing it

I don’t get it, “image-bearing creature of God”??

I bet it would be pretty good if their family is desperately poor and needs the extra money to survive…

I remember when I was in my early 20s in my first apartment, they were doing work on the gas lines and a maintenance person had to come in and reset the pilot light on the water heater and lightly chastised me for having a bunch of stuff stored to either side of it in its little closet due to safety concerns. I was too embarrassed to admit it but I had concluded that was just some metal junk someone had left taking up space in my closet, no idea it was the thing making my hot water work. I had even discussed this with my girlfriend at the time, who also came to the same conclusion about it, just some large metal junk inexplicably taking up most of the space of a small apartment closet.

I mean if the sink was in the same room as the toilet, I would understand, separate rooms is very strange though

This is confusing as I’ve never seen a toilet stall that is just a regular room, rather than a cubicle divider thing

Lignin can be hard to break down by human stomachs. Not only that, but the lignin in food can actively inhibit the access nutritional benefits of other types of digestible fiber

Your dentist would not be pleased; grass contains a lot of silica, an abrasive which quickly wears down teeth. Grazing animals have teeth that are adapted to continually grow, replacing the worn tooth surfaces quickly

Compatibility problems caused by third parties only targeting Windows are still Linux issues for the end user if they become a problem when they use Linux. It isn’t fair but that is the practical reality.

The headline seems a little misleading, since there’s no reason to think AI summaries themselves are going to be what gets presented to a court. Sounds like the actual concern is violating someone’s rights by going through all of their phone data beyond the scope of a warrant:

Allowing software to just go blundering around in the scraped contents of a seized phone is quite another, as ACLU lawyer Jennifer Granick stated to 404 Media:

“The Fourth Amendment does not permit law enforcement to rummage through data, but only to review information for which there is probable cause. To use an example from the press release, if you have some porch robberies, but no reason to suspect that they are part of a criminal ring, you are not allowed to fish through the data on a hunch, in the hopes of finding something, or ‘just in case.’“

While the Gallup poll does not cover the direct repercussions of US President Donald Trump’s second term, experts believe that rising political polarisation is likely to lead to a sharp drop in trust in future surveys.

And the survey doesn’t even take this recent shit into account, soon literally nobody will trust the government

Probably going to be a ton of cheap used computers on the market in the near future for installing Linux on

Might also be ram compatibility problems

“If not,” Freeman continued, “we will have a large number of highly trained and unemployed people.”

It did turn out that way anyway right

I think they would still try to go for it but yeah that option sounds good to me tbh

I don’t think it’s actually such a bad argument because to reject it you basically have to say that style should fall under copyright protections, at least conditionally, which is absurd and has obvious dystopian implications. This isn’t what copyright was meant for. People want AI banned or inhibited for separate reasons and hope the copyright argument is a path to that, but even if successful wouldn’t actually change much except to make the other large corporations that own most copyright stakeholders of AI systems. That’s not really a better circumstance.

This is one of the bigger reasons I don’t want to use social media controlled by a corporation, it means they can choose to cut me off from people at their discretion, which will probably be based on what is convenient and easy for them.

I don’t really know how to use Discord except by muting servers immediately after joining and probably never looking at them again

LLMs have a tendency to come up with bullshit excuses to avoid tricky requests, and are also trained on corpospeak moral hand wringing, this kind of thing is the result sometimes

Any media file also
