perfect is the enemy of good.
I wish vegans and vegetarians would be a bit more willing to promote this viewpoint. It’s insane how many otherwise normal people will refuse a single meat-free meal for no reason other than identity politics.
Then kg is a poor choice of metric. They should’ve gone with dietary calories.
That show pissed me off so much. They actually straight up concluded that there is no ethical consumerism under capitalism, and then… just rewrote the universe’s metaphysics so that you get a pass for that, and American consumerism becomes standard religious doctrine
Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic but yeah. Head them off in the direction you want them to go, just like sheepdogs do.
AI seems to really love that extreme high contrast side-lighting on everything. Then the text itself is irregular in a very non-human kind of way, like there’s no natural processes that would result in an ‘E’ like the one in ‘BECAUSE’.
Then you’ve got the person’s face, which if it were drawn by an artist of the skill level we’d expect from the rest of the piece, one would imagine they’d do a better job of conveying some sort of personality or emotion.
AI Art is fundamentally antisocial because it’s the Art equivalent of the Bullshit Asymmetry Principle; it took less effort for OP to create that than it did to pick apart exactly why it feels so unsatisfying and unsettling in all the wrong ways. Always downvote AI Art.
I figured they chased them in a big circle. Or did laps. Or anything other than a completely straight line.
The irony is most fact-checking sites (including BBC Verify) concluded that the effects of the NOAA cuts on the disaster were minimal, since the data available at the time would have led to the same prediction regardless of whether the recent layoffs had happened or not.
(This isn’t a Trump support post, it’s a “Grok is even worse than we already thought” post.)
wtf is going on with his feet
(he said, already knowing the answer)
The best thing about all these organisations moving away from Microsoft is it incentivizes further development and QA. Or at least I hope all these governments switching to OSS are also funding people to keep a close eye on all the PRs coming in from state-sponsored hackers…
Maybe, but I’d rather be brainwashed and wrong in trying to treat others with empathy and decency, than be brainwashed and wrong and driven by hate for marginalised groups.
What would you have us use instead then? They were going after “empathy” last month. No matter what word you choose, Nazis are gonna Nazi.
“curtail developer choice” is such a weak argument because you could equally apply it to literally every piece of regulation ever passed. Of course it curtails choice, that’s almost the dictionary definition of an industry regulation.
I actually kind of believe it, because kindergarten/elementary teachers are often from arts & humanities backgrounds, and it’s not at all rare to find one who never passed a high school STEM class and therefore prone to get flustered easily when called upon to explain the reasonings behind even simple things.
Absolutely. Every indicator available suggests Enshittification will hit the subscription models within the next few years.
Pretty much, I mean that’s why we have judges, to look at all the facts of the case and make a decision on whether this is functionally the same group of people doing the same things as they were under another name. Legal loopholes aren’t as easy as some people think.
Sure, we’d all like that, but pretending that piracy is some sort of noble way to bring about a collectivist creators’ paradise is yet more self-serving fantasy.
Not really, because obviously nobody who sincerely believed it was of no value would spend their time downloading it. The contradiction is in simultaneously claiming that something is of no value and therefore shouldn’t be paid for, whilst still expending effort to illegally copy it, this proving that it did have value. The only way to square it would be to claim that you’re the one who created new value by the act of downloading it, which is blatantly nonsense.
I mean ok but the drafters of the Terrorism Act did think of that already, changing your name doesn’t get you out of anything. Both the IRA and National Front were forever peeling off into splinter groups with new names back in the 20th century.
I hate IP trolls as much as the next person, but that feels almost like a non-sequitur
Clearly murdering a farmer is also wrong, if there were easy answers then we wouldn’t be where we are now.
But, I think the Judge had it right when she said “find another tomato”, and the scriptwriters allowed the main characters to handwave it away as “no that’s too hard” without being challenged any further on it.
It goes back to OP’s original point; we don’t have to go to total war, we just need enough people to draw a few more lines that they stick to most of the time.
