That AI was clearly trained on stolen property - the angry guy is obviously meant to be Dan from “Dan Vs”.

One big thing you need to think about is accessibility. This is something that came up in a conversation with a local representative in the UK - for children in public schools it is a requirements that any technology have good accessibility and not leave anyone behind. And accessibility tools on linux are, suffice to say, not great. Especially when compared with those on other closed systems. My local government ended up going with iPads for kids in schools, and the accessibility tooling on these was a factor in that choice.

Bring on the model collapse!

How many contrasting qualifiers does it take for a comparison to become useless?

• Mamdani?
• Female mamdani?
• White female mamadani?
• Seattleite white female mamdani?

While this is true, cars of any kind shouldn’t be going faster than 50k in a town/city anyway

Thankfully no microsoft, but I do have to use google workspace.

at least i can sandbox it to a web browser? small wins…

The drivers run OK, but because they were not built for my distribution with the right flag, when I sleep and resume my system, I need to log out and back in to the desktop or else it bugs out.

Is this the drivers fault for not having that be a default flag? The maintainers fault for not using the correct flags? Waylands fault for not interfacing with the driver right on resume? My fault for having the audacity to want to use the sleep function?

I have no clue, but it doesn’t happen with the open source nouevau drivers, so I’m inclined to place a fair bit of the blame with nvidia.

Going purely by the illustration, pass it to the next person because they have a track with no-one on it

A website generator built by a human still gave a human the chance to make some choices, feel useful, validate it worked right, possibly even an income.

it took me far too long to parse this sentence. I kept trying to figure out why the grandparents calling their grandson on the phone was relevant to the story

I love that “Lonely Mountains: Downhill” isn’t woke, even though it gives fine grained control over your characters design, like a “feminine” body with facial hair.

Yes, if the government was sane and allowed a physical card as an alternative/backup, but the UK gov wants to make it digital only.

Some important context here is that Switzerland already has a national ID card system, this is an extension allowing people to use a digital version if they prefer.

I’m not saying that isn’t going to be without its privacy concerns, but them narrowly voting that in is a far cry from, oh I don’t know, the UK government forcing an entirely new scheme on people without a referendum.

bottom can’t drop out if they never had a bottom

You know what? Do it. I want one of these guys to actually built one of these mega data centres. If we’re going to ruin the environment anyway, we might as well encourage the billionaires to bankrupt themselves at the same time.

Good idea - if you also cap car speeds at 15mph

Netflix’s short stint with FMV / chooe-your-own adventure games highlights a perfect case of difficult preservation - all the runtimes are closed source apps, all the data is streamed from a server, and all the logic is held on the server.

In theory (big caveat) with enough time, effort, and determination you could reverse engineer your way around even the worst Denuvo has to throw. For simple streamed content like images and sound you can always analog-hole your way around preserving content.

But for anything where the key thing you want to preserve, like logic, that depends entirely on a server somewhere existing, that’s a problem.

fiercely confident of their own independence

In fairness, if you let the average cat out into nature it would be fine. Dump the average libertarian into nature and they wont last the night.

Adjusted to the initial sale value of the car - Less easy to cheat by not declaring income, and bigger cars (likely more expensive) that take up more space, pay more.
