Has someone asked what there IS to defend if not people's lives?

Quite the opposite. Use drives from as many different manufacturers as you can, especially when buying them at the same time. You want to avoid similar lifecycles and similar potential fabrication defects as much as possible, because those things increase the likelihood that they will fall close to each other - particularly with the stress of rebuilding the first one that failed.

As if any spyware worth it's salt didn't install itself as service with an innocuous name. Something like "Facebook" or "TikTok".

We truly love in interesting times. Fuck, I wish we didn't.

I don't think they're wrong, either. Some Americans do seem to think that foreigner means "not from the US".

The thing is, just like software subscriptions, you aren't buying a piece of software, you're buying the right to use it. You can be pretty sure that they have legalese in the eula that says that your right to use the software expires with non-use. I wouldn't be surprised if they can even let it expire by simple deciding to no longer support it.

And what do you think will happen if their license servers ever go offline?

For the longest time I never bought anything digital, but I eventually caved to steam. I still blatantly refuse to join other digital platforms, except gog where I can download the software and it works without any remote server.

Same for music: I refuse to use Spotify. I buy from 7digital and the like, where I can download either mp3 or FLAC.

I think it also helps that it wasn't intentional. Nobody likes the obvious corp whoring for a quick cash grab.

My religion requires me to punch you in the face. Are we both going to observe, or are we both going to be sensible?

They should have just plain been disbarred. They were, de facto, lying in court.

Can't wait until cordyceps turns up 🙂

There most certainly are, yet for some reason there is only one flag on this sign 😁

I'm certainly not generalizing, but you can't deny that the US has its own weaponized brand of stupid.

Well, the US is involved in the war, even if indirectly, and considers Ukraine a strategic partner, so one could say he's acting against the interests of the US.

Several of those thoughts have absolutely zero to do with AI, though. Well, none of them, because it's ml, not ai, but that's a different battle.

I mean, just lick something else right next to the mic...

Inside jokes are part of the glue that makes a community.

You're totally entitled to not liking them, of course, but I fear such a feature is going to see so little use that it's not worth implementing. Could of course just be part of a user-submitted tagging system, where you and the like-minded can tag these for each other.

The Turing test is about whether it passes as human, not whether it is human.

750 people drowning is also unusual, and there's also been rescue attempts.

All these victims have loved ones, and i don't wish death on anyone, but for the billionaires I find it quite hard to care much.

I still hope they're saved, though; and if they are I very much hope the experience will have changed them.

This particular photo is shopped, but i think false-perspective Illusions might actually be a good path...

That is clearly an unsafe design. You'd need at least three layers of cardboard to withstand the heat.

I feel it necessary to make an important point here: there is a reason flash is dead. It's horrible insecure. Fortunately the interest base for this kind of thing is fairly small, because someone with ill intent would not have a hard time providing a malicious swf and gain access to your system.

Now maybe - hopefully - the steam deck makes good use of various sandboxing technologies, but I'd recommend proceeding with care anyway.

So, in essence, they have zero factual arguments, so they're going ad hominem.

Sounds just about par for the course.

Hmm... Wonder if the haters would avoid stalls with such stickers for fear of catching the gay...

Make it a denial of service attack!

Most certainly. He's got the undeniable proof safely stored away in the same place as his chin.

People's existence is not the subject of debate. Bugger off, troll.

The finance ministry of the world?

Technically, no, but then they need another source of revenue, because servers at that scale aren't cheap.

And they didn't mention politics at all, they said not everyone wants to be reminded of the orange shitstain. I agree with them.

That's quite funny, considering that the SC HAS some of trump's worst judges...

I just s suspected stone stick in the urinary canal two years ago. Damnnnnnn. First time I literally was sweating from the pain.

Still don't know where the fucker went, I never got the satisfying clink as it hits the porcelain.

I pay a lot more attention to my water consumption since...

I instinctively opened rif this morning and it didn't work. Maybe you haven't got the final update yet.

There is something called low-residue diet, often needed before or after certain medical procedures. You might Google information on that.

I mean... How much AI is required to emulate trump? All he does are non-sequiturs.

Yep. The EU lawsuit forced them to. Also internet exploder is no longer a thing these days 🙂

Public bulletin boards are forbidden in, iirc, Brazil, or at least in the capital. Made for a very different view.

Don't you mean a cockie 😋

Someone it is the answer, unfortunately. We cannot tolerate the intolerant.

Shouldn't have not pooped for three days.

Good. Maybe the envoy can explain the concept of freedom of expression to them. It's going to come as rather a shock...

That's very interesting, thanks!

So, basically, the US is very upset that the money they give is being used... The solution seems obvious...

Suçuk/mushroom is wonderful!
