Would be a fun series to watch, wizards trying to run a functioning castle under a king who doesn't understand the importance of anything magical.

Well, fun for me. Might be some high blood pressure and early heart attacks for IT folks who have to live it.

Holy shit the faculty against this need to strike immediately in solidarity. What the fuck sort of dystopia are we in that students are arrested and suspended for protesting? For protesting genocide? What the actual fuck.

The real challenge to creative economies are the billionaires sucking all the profit from album sales or deleting television shows from the face of the earth for a tax writeoff.

Sue them in small claims for the price of the device.

Roku has patented a way to ensure I don't buy their junk.

They will do that regardless.

It's Twitter for Nazis, which made more sense before Twitter became for Nazis.

Looking forward to what the Republicans cosplaying as leftists use instead of "genocide Joe" now that Donald is calling for a final solution.

"I don't want anyone to realize they can work just as effectively from home. Sure it saves them gas and commute time, but it just doesn't pump my ego if I cannot micromanage in person."

It is a dogwhistle. For the Repub's voting base, which is Nazis, they understand he is talking about "Protocols of the Elders of Zion."

He won't be fucked on the appeal bond, they will lower it and give him 30 more days. Laws are for poor people to obey.

It's just the woke mind virus getting to everyone. You know, like that Rage Against the Machine band suddenly becoming all political.

I also started on Ubuntu. They used to be pretty great, good device support and basically no hassle. But I am done af and not going back.

Does this make it possible to use the headset without ever having a Meta account? That's the only way I'd be willing to interact with a Quest device.

Fuck me, I completely forgot that. He fucked up directly with coronavirus so hard, it had completely slipped my mind that he dismantled the pandemic response for no reason other than to spite Obama. He is a fractal fuckup. You can zoom in at any scale and see the same fuckups, narcissism, and corruption.

Perhaps they should have invested in infrastructure with the government handouts they were given to do so?

Seven more days, are you fucking kidding me? Doesn't meet the deadline, 10 more days and a lower requirement. Obviously fraudulent bond, 7 more days.

If any of us had lost a lawsuit from any state, our accounts would be drained and assets seized after failing the first deadline.

That's fucked up. There's nothing about that video that was remotely inappropriate for work. Everyone needs to join a union, holy hell.

Hate speech is protected by the First Amendment, so flip it around, inclusive speech is also protected by the First Amendment. I'm sure teachers can lose their jobs for hate speech but people cannot be criminally charged for hate speech alone. Prosecuting teachers as sex offenders for using pronouns is a clear and deliberate violation of their Constitutional rights.

The majority of why people are finding LLMs useful is that they respond to questions without ad-ridden bullshit. Eventually someone will figure out how to riddle them with ads and they too will become useless.

Yeah. NY will hold you without trial for three years on suspicion of stealing a backpack. But defraud the state of millions in taxes for years and there are zero consequences.

I thought this is the exact reason why we keep outfitting SWAT guys with army surplus gear? Isn't that so we can defend the country against terrorists and other violent criminals? So all that is actually exclusively for murdering unarmed people and throwing flashbang grenades in infants' cribs, got it.

"Falsely wrote" is close, but the correct verb is probably "lied."

Why doesn't New York just hand him several million dollars and a court ordered professional wanking? He's defied court orders, threatened staff and family of the court, missed deadlines, provided fraudulent agreements. He has done all sorts of misconduct. If it were one of us, we'd be in jail with our assets seized.

Surely Repubs wouldn't tell lies that they want "small government" while simultaneously legislating what we can learn, who we can love, and what women are allowed to do with their bodies?

Any company funded by a VC at all seems to go to shit.

He's been defrauding contractors, backstabbing, and throwing people under the bus for decades. Even a grifter would have to be high as fuck on pure greed to have any business interaction with Donald.

It's hilarious that these scammers also received an inevitable betrayal. I hope they lose all their money and the stock crashes before Donald can get anything significant out. What a delight to see any of these lying con men lose it all.

That's just Don Jr.'s Silk Road order coming in.

Legally, you cannot be criminally charged. They will not protect you from the consequences of your speech coming from private parties, whatever those are. You can increase the number or severity of charges for crimes if they are even partially motivated by prejudice towards specific groups, hate speech may be evidence of that motivation.

Would be cool if they could direct their anger towards the responsible parties this time. Unfortunately I'm sure it will somehow be "illegals are driving all our trucking routes."

Imagine doing an insurrection, looking at the flags waving next to you, and wondering what the fuck ideology it is that you're attacking cops over.

Your dog deserves the title more than Donald does.

Israel: [Murdering journalists and foreign aid workers] see? It's not only Palestinians, it's random.

What competition? Tax me and give me fucking municipal fiber instead of giving giant paychecks to wealthy assholes who invest nothing in improving the service but raise everyone's rates regardless.

Sorry, are you saying because some people are authoritarian theocratic terrorists that it is acceptable to genocide the entire group? Starve the children to death? Nobody is trying to be pals with Hamas here.

Customers are forced to. Companies would rather give shitty and inaccurate information with the veneer of helping someone rather than pay a human to actually help someone.

They will continue using chatbots as long as they think it won't cost them more in lost customers or this sort of billing dispute than it saves them in not paying people. What was this, $600? That's fuckall compared to a salary. $600 could happen a few hundred times a year and they'd still be profiting after firing some people.

It's off for now, but it will return after the lawyers have had a go at making the company not liable for the chatbot's errors.

If he's not careful he's going to make it cheap enough for me to buy it from him.

There are so many felonies in this country you basically commit a few every day by accident.

Hopefully this at least forces Microsoft to rethink riddling their bullshit with ads. I feel sorry for people who are still stuck with that trash for whatever reason.

As long as you're okay with the edge cases on that: jailed, hospitalized, or other event lasting two weeks and your switch goes off.
