... to move to old-school open solutions like IRC and such and result in them learning a thing or two about computers, networks and administration. And perhaps they'll learn about anonymity and it's importance just like we did in the 80ies.
That generative AI is voiding 90%+ of jobs in media production should be obvious by now. What's interesting is that these jobs, just like software development, are only a (very) small portion of the workforce. I am just some wide and far between senior webdev getting ready to move into marketing or customer service and taking a ~15k hit on my income. No huge impact to society.
Just wait until the robots start driving our vehicles and replacing drivers. That's when the real fun starts.
It tries a tad to hard to be hilarious and is obnoxious in that way but overall the whole short film does lean into the major system level difference between W1ndows and macOS. It also shows how someone might actually solve the problem by quickly switching to macOS. They cleverly plug the Mac Mini as a gateway device for this. Which it actually in reality often is.
It pushes the diversity shtick/fad a little hard (the masOS geek that saves the day is a women - because of course _she_ is), but she is exaggerated in a plausible way. And they lean into the geek speaking vs. ords listening dichotomy rather than anything boss-baby. At least. All protagonists and situations are goofy enough as to provoke some laughs.
As a European I did notice how nearly all protagonists were (notably) overweight. I guess that's an accurate representation of the US population.
The 8-minute add is quite neat for such a thing and not a CWOT. Which is good enough I'd say.
... that by and large there is absolutely no lack of USB cables.
I don't use the ones that ship anyway. I have long thick ones with fabric isolation and little LED lights on the plugs that tell me if they are live or not.
... I love the UK and lived in Scotland for a while as a teen. It's sad to see the country go down the loo like that.
... about how epically f*cked the UK is. I mean we all knew that Brexit would hurt and the British who were in favor of Brexit would quickly get their doubts if Brexit was such a good idea, but looking across the canal right now I have to say "Holy cow, talk about screwing up even worse after leaving the EU." After all, the pro Brexit message was that they were going to fix all the problems they now have 5x more of.
Here's a good expert analysis that perfectly summarizes the UK situation.
It is common knowledge that the planets Albedo (Level of light reflection) has been dropping. The mean reasons are less snow and ice (a large portion of Albedo loss) and fever overall clouds. It's one of the runaway cascading effects of man-made global warming. This really isn't news anymore. Well, perhaps for some, I guess.
There are food additives that are "legal" to use in the US that are classified as 'effing bona-fide Toxic Waste in the EU and can't even be legally disposed of in regular landfills. There are literally thousands of additives that are flat-out _illegal_ in the EU that can be used in food in the US.
To me there is no wonder that you guys have cancer rates rising.
... towards the poles. It's clearly noticable here in Europe and the pace has picked up notably in recent years. I'm mentally preparing to relocate to Scandinavia if the need should arise in the future. 3 Years ago I took an extended summer trip to Portugal. The heat was unbearable during the day, I only could go out in the early morning or late afternoon and evening. Desertification of the Iberean peninsula is in full swing as is the water table dropping in more northern parts of Europe. The German Harz mountain region has abandoned winter tourism because there is no snow anymore to speak of. At the same time the dutch have fewer and fewer hours in which low-tide allows for water to be let out into the ocean again through those massive flood-gates they built. It is likely that we're going to have to look where we put the dutch during my lifetime. We're pretty screwed. How hard is still largely up to us but time is running out fast and my reluctant optimism is fading.
TFTFY.
The Internet was "messed up" before. Yeah, those cookie regulations are silly and obviously written by people overwhelmed with computers and digital networks, but fixing them would take 5 minutes and this bizarre cookie pop-up nonsense would vanish overnight.
Cross domain de-anonymizing tracking is prohibited.
There, fixed the law. No more pointless cookie bullshit.
As for the Internet: De-centralized crypto signed DNS as a replacement for the existing DNS. There, Internet fixed.
The FDA lied about it, got sued, and had to retract their statement. I have that linked somewhere around here too. Ah, https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bloomberg.com%2Fnews...
Your summary completely -- and I would further suggest deliberately and maliciously -- mischaracterizes the case. The article you cite states that the Fifth Circuit found that the FDA overstepped its authority by providing medical advice. Nowhere did the court find the FDA's statements were materially false or misleading -- it is and remains a fact that ivermectin is ineffective and inappropriate for treating COVID. Therefore, claiming the FDA "lied" willfully misrepresents the case.
The article then goes on to support my point and the Democratic Administration's efforts -- that misinformation concerning COVID-19 was and remains rampant, and that it needs to be combatted for the sake of public health.
Speech is not violence. Speech is not a threat to public health. Speech is necessary to find truth in society.
Look up the term, "fighting words." Then go visit a venue with a principally African American clientele, and explain how you should be free to use the N-word without consequence, because it's merely "speech."
It sounds to me like your sanctimonious polemics would be better received on X. They have a prettier UI as well. Off you go, sonny...
...there was extensive documentation on how Biden pressured social media companies to silence everyday American citizens. [
... ]
Couple 'o things:
Not even ordinary evidence was provided. So we can set that nonsensical statement aside.
The Truth: The Biden Administration was seeking to remove maliciously posted lies and falsehoods concerning COVID-19's risks and how to mitigate them, so that people without mad Google sk1llz searching for information on staying healthy would be less likely to encounter false, life-threatening information.
Example: Back in 2020, there was this slob who suggested on national television that the best way to avoid COVID was to inject disinfectant , and that the disease could by treated by ivermectin -- which is a horse de-wormer (i.e. an anti-parasitic, not an anti-viral). Both claims were absolute bullshit , but nevertheless got repeated millions of times on social media by "everyday Americans." It was this kind of LIFE-THREATENING GARBAGE that the Democratic Administration was seeking to mitigate. So that people wouldn't, y'know... die.
... and be glad it's not nearly as much economic damage as that recent absolutely epic hydrogen bomb of a Jaguar rebrand did. ROTFL!
I have a theory that it's impossible to prove anything, but I can't prove it.
