Do we think they’ll be less likely to throw luggage. Cause if yes, they have my full support.

Everything everyone today says or thinks is plagiarized… Move along already, it don’t matter none. What does matter is how it, whatever it is, either benefits society or hurts it.

They are not ripe unless spotted.

They are over ripe if brown.

Those files are kinda a nightmare to navigate in their bare state. And the datasets are huge. I doubt anyone training AI would allow them to go through knowingly, less it was specifically a police invesigation and case law focused AI that was designed to process and categorize that kind of data.

Most AI are designed for functional discussion and factual data processing. It’s not a great idea to just feed in random trash.

Brass bell you say?

Funny, the statute $2500 should be for the circumvention act, which was likely singular, not per file obtained during or as a result of the act. And the $150k is ridiculous in and of itself, even if for all files obtained. What a strange world we live in.

Spotify built a system of control in order to profit a few at a cost to many, perhaps everyone else.

Someone broke that system in order to benefit many, possibly at the cost of some of their ability to profit from their system of control–if they didn’t lose customers, or prospective customers, they didn’t experience any financial loss, or a loss in their ability to maintain their system of control (which is still very much in place and working).

Either way, nobody was hurt.

But the person who acted selflessly to benefit of society in general is punished.

Because… We, as a society, celebrate and work effortlessly to maintain complex systems of abuse in order to satisfy our greed or the greed of others. All despite being taught in school not to lie to and bully each other, and to share with and care for each other.

As a species: We are bat shit fucking crazy!

Thanks. Been trying to retire my age old PS6 portable app for ages, and want to move to Linux full time, but keep having to go back. GIMP has always been so frustrating to use. I install it, then run away after trying and struggling to do basic stuff.

Maybe Photogimp will get me there?

Upvote for xnview, have you tried the MP version, or whatever it is. I think I run that now, but I have both installed still.

I actually just removed an old portable version that was just living rent free in my portable apps folder for years.

I have a Andoku, a sodoku game that was open source and had the perfect setup options for selecting and placing numbers.

It got sold, and new devs immediately added ads and broke everything. I think it’s some sodoku 3 with subscription options now. Been running it since probably 2013ish.

My SO and I play as a team across dinning tables in restraunts while we wait for waiters or food or whatever.

Naw, basically all major players changed their recipies over the last couple years. They are double the price, but have less chocolate, and more palm oil and other BS.

Stick with artisan chocolate, or, if you can, figure out which name brand chocolates haven’t changed their schtick yet. I think snickers are still the same, but don’t hold it against me if they aren’t.

It was certainly hard to watch.

99% of the internet is trash. Pages bouncing all over while loading, constant cookie or login popups (even with various blockers), links not connecting, old long outdated content being pushed to the front of searches, junk AI slop non-answers articles or marketing lists about a problem vs actual detailed answers…

Then there are all the various billing systems for various marketplaces, that all wanna require memberships for one time sales, before they tell you the shipping cost.

And so so much more.

It’s all heavily dysfunctional and lame and not user friendly at all anymore.

Too literate… Use the wrong word in there somewhere, or mess it up some other way.

It’s going to be great, but it may not work.

Just 5 million more and they might get something out of it.

Ran into this on newpipe last week, just loaded a webpage in mobile Firefox then went back to newpipe and refreshed the page.

Not sure about your situation, but there are definitely work arounds for some situations.

Helped somebody homeschool a kid in elementary school a decade ago, the system was pretty user friendly and only really needed a human adult to keep the kid on task and ensure breaks and such. Basically didn’t need to help at all.

If the student is willing to learn, and knows to take breaks when they lose focus, I don’t see why an AI teacher wouldn’t be sufficient for 90% or more of the class-time… But a human teacher should still be reachable for occasional needs.

Heck one actual teacher could probably manage thousands of students for most classes if AI and digital course systems are there to handle most guidance.

There’s definitely still something to be said for in-person schooling… But it isn’t necessary for every class… I was bored as fuck in school for a handful of basic classes cause I had to wait for the ‘class’ to catch up before we moved on. I prefer online courses for anything that doesn’t require hands on guidance.

It’s like the Matrix, but funny.

10/10 100% recommend to anyone who likes oddball movies like Moon or Mr. Right, two other Sam Rockwell features.

10/10… I passed over some bad reviews, but ignored them. Sam tends to do some pretty fun and kookie flicks, especially sci-fi, which is totally my bag.

This movie was a really fun ride!

I only hate you because of the color of your shirt!

SOs HP laptop borked Win11pro OS, wouldn’t load or recover. Tried reinstalling clean but Win11 installer can’t see SSD. Driver loading during install results in install crashing error.

Linux, here we come.
