This is stupid racist dickhead bullshit because ICE has detained at least 500 citizens so far, and every person who was "deported" to a country they didn't come from was trafficked by ICE. Fuck your support for racism in pursuit of your support of a child rapist traitor. It also makes you a traitor.

Hamas has repeatedly declared its intent to exterminate all the Jews. That's genocide.

Netanyahu is currently doing what every expert says is a genocide in Gaza. Hamas was founded in response to a massacre in a mosque done by a Jewish "settler" assault-colonialist.

Hamas, who just a couple of years ago, attacked Israel to rape and slaughter thousands of people. After decades of the same.

What is the death toll on each side?
Why are Jews protesting for the right to rape Palestinian hostages?

JPEG-XL is a good format but I just realized yesterday that Google Docs on Android doesn't support inserting a webp image a decade after Google was pushing it. I had one from a website and needed to run it through imagemagick first.

Android supports it, all the apps using android image primitives supoort it, but one of Google's flagship apps still doesn't.

We used move much faster thirty years ago. If an app supported say GIF, PNM, and TGA when JPEG came out it was supported in the next release.

Hopefully this round will be better. It's probably a management problem ... maybe they will listen to their chatbot since they don't listen to their engineers.

The hell are they talking about "safer?" What is unsafe about PNG and JPEG?

Stupid marketing trash.

We have a long history of exploiting decoders. Image based malware exists, has for decades. Hell back in 2004 the Windows GDI+ library had a arbitrary code execution attack trigged by simply opening a Office document with a specific embedded JPEG image, or using Office to attempt to insert a specific JPEG image into the document. I don't think IE was affected so it wasn't a remote execution from what I recall. That's just one example. Exploiting of decoders is a thing.

The attacks often exploit standard software bugs, e.g. memory unsafe code, buffer overflows etc. In this case they are talking "safer" because they are using the Rust based library which prevents a subset of the potential bugs creating security issues.

Don't confuse your ignorance with marketing trash.

This, and this is why private equity firms are a negative to capitalism.

Private equity firms are capitalism in pure form, as they are capital controlling the means of production, which is capitalism's definition.

Private equity forms are a negative for humanity, but so is uncontrolled capitalism, so that checks out.

Not all use of AI is slop. AI is a tool. There's no reason it can't be sensibly incorporated into a workflow. While no doubt creating a game from a prompt is just slop, the reality is there is a practical place for including tools such as this in a workflow, such as using it to create starting point.

I recently came across this at work during a 1 week workshop we had. All the presenters (including myself) used AI extensively to create our presentations (because powerpoint fucking sucks), but only some of them looked like slop. The ones which looked like slop were the ones where AI did the finishing: i.e. people made presentations and asked AI to make it pretty. The rest of us used AI to structure the presentation and then manually tweaked it afterwards and they looked unique and individual.

There is a place for this. Use an AI prompt to come up with a base game, and then put AI (Actually Intelligent) people in place to turn that base structure into something creative.

It's not as clear as you think. It's not sufficient to write and tweak prompts. Look to Jason Allen v. US Copyright Office https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.artnews.com%2Fart-ne... Jason Allen attempted to copyright art that he created with Midjourney. Despite going through hundreds of prompts and using photoshop to edit the result *he* (not the computer) was denied copyright by the US Copyright office.

I think the court case is still pending.
