Not only that, but it both reduces the chance of someone going to get help, because they don’t want to be hunted down, and reporting, because someone who knows of them might not want to see them be lynched, and won’t report them for that reason.
That’s the customer answer, where they give an age in leap years, and everything goes to pot.
But art is also one of the most fundamental things everyone learns to do. Literal children learn to do art, and doodling is something everyone knows how to do.
Although I do think that the issue is exacerbated by the enthusiast-types who will tune a model on someone’s work as a form of vengeance, and smugly brag about how they can have the computer crunch out something approximating their work.
They’re too big to fail. At least, they were, but they’re scaling back these days, so they may be sanctioned sooner or later.
That’s why we should abolish mental health care for soldiers. They’re not physically disabled. Shell shock is just mental weakness, compared to their disabled comrades (!)
No, they are. There was a spam wave some time ago that had people upload gore and other things onto instances.
Except that the numbers are also prone to change, like if it’s been stolen. They’re technically not supposed to be an identification code anyhow.
I was most disappointed when I read that he left the group chat. Missed opportunity for some top-class trolling:
Although that may have had him arrested/raided for accessing most secret information he lacks clearance for, so leaving upon finding out it was the real thing and not a joke group was the better move.
I would love to know how much is spent trying to catch people trying to game the system, compared to lost compensation because of sick leave.
Past a point, they must surely be spending more hiring this whole team of detectives than they would be just letting the workers take Friday off.
FFmpeg and handbrake do the latter two quite handily. The latter even has a nice program interface, rather than needing commands.
ImageMagick is capable of the first. I’ve had it go the other way before, and I should be most surprised if it couldn’t convert a PDF to a jpg.
Apple got an special exemption the last time the EU standardised the port to Micro-USB.
The writing would have been on the wall for them. Especially as thunderbolt 3+ uses the USB-C connector, there was no guarantee the EU would give them exception again, and lightning is almost certainly not designed to handle the wattage needed to charge a Mac.
But otherwise, if not compelled, I doubt that Apple would have carried it over to the mobile devices. The timing is fortuitous, but likely because Apple has a little leeway before the EU forbade their devices/fined them for not following the law.
Because it takes work to obey the rules, and you get less data for it. The theoretical competitor could get more ignoring those and get some vague advantage for it.
I’d not be surprised if the crawlers they used were bare-basic utilities set up to just grab everything without worrying about rules and the like.
You can always trust Microsoft to make two version of the same application and to have really bad naming.
And to make bad naming worse naming, since they switched Office’s name to 365 Copilot, not to be confused with 365 (office premium), Copilot (ChatGPT interface), or Copilot (Office text assistant). Office was a perfectly serviceable name they’d used for decades. It’s like Twitter rebranding themselves to a single latter like Y. Why would they throw away branding like that?
People are liable to look for office, not find it, and go "oh, Microsoft doesn’t sell Word any more ☹️’
Not if you’re in a place that relies on satellite infrastructure, such as places conventional telephony doesn’t work in.
Yes, was poking fun at Ed’s only error message being a relatively unhelpful ?.
?
It’s also self explanatory, which is great if you’re new.
Ed and Vim are basically arcane by comparison.
Does it count as user error if the user has to micromanage the compiler?
They’re likely also winding down development in favour of their new LLM, which certainly isn’t going to help matters.
It’s basically the same motivation as people who have a gun and are itching for the apocalypse so they can loose the safeties.
Even saying that it’s righteous violence is ascribing positive motivations that may not exist. They’re just looking for someone to attack, and an alleged paedophile is a socially acceptable target to unleash that violence on.
