It's always nice when things take good turns.

Congrats!

I recently made a career-making position swap at my job (from field technician straight into network engineering) so I know the feeling. Be sure and celebrate somehow, even if it's something small.

The developer posted a farewell rant on their website, and included JavaScript to send like 1k requests to an instance he had blocked in the secret ban list.

If you've ever seen a childish internet troll rant at being caught, then you're already familiar with the post.

It's not weed, it's that mint is very aggressive in spreading.

I personally like the mint growing in the yard it makes mowing the lawn smell great.

They can just do what Alex Jones did in his defamation trail and refuse to cooperate with discovery. The court can't make them turn over documents at gunpoint, but the court can threaten to tell the jury that one party refused to cooperate, and to assume the evidence would be very bad for the party refusing to turn it over.

It's basically giving the other party carte blanche to say whatever they want because you're admitting you won't back anything up. So the discovery has to be pretty bad for someone to refuse to cooperate.

"You mean if I delete data, then it's gone? No matter what platform?"

You could replace "Brave Browser" with Firefox and the statement would still be true.

At least Firefox wasn't caught hijacking affiliate links.

What a weird way to spell nano

Imo, the main advantage to cast iron vs literally everything else is how you can abuse it as long as the one rule you follow is to clean it after use.

Teflon and other nonstick coatings are too easily damaged by things like scrubbing pads or metal utensils.

Cast iron don't give a single fuck.

And the White House sat on Trump's insurrection for four fucking years.

The system as a whole failed us when it didn't convict Trump on either impeachment.

You cannot convince me that Republicans wouldn't have been rabidly screaming from rooftops that a Democratic President should be impeached if one did the same things Trump did while in office. And the sad thing is Democrats would have agreed and impeached him.

Republicans only care about holding on to power. Nothing else anymore.

And we as a nation just handed it to a candidate who wants to be 'Dictator for a day' as if any dictator has ever willingly relinquished power.

As someone in a non-traditional relationship, and who has two female children, I am fucking terrified.

Way to make me feel old.

I never had to do that to my N64 cartridges. That was the meme for the NES.

And even then, blowing on it didn't really help. It was the ejecting and reinserting of the cartridge that fixed the issue because the slot on the NES was janky.

But can you actually trust what it outputs?

Hallucinations are a known thing that LLMs struggle with. If you're trusting the output of your LLM summary without validating the data, can you be sure there are no errors in it?

And if you're having to validate the data every time because the LLM can make errors, why not skip the extra step?

AFAIK, the unilateral nature of TOS/EULA agreements in the day of Software as a Service hasn't been litigated. Which means there isn't a court's opinion on the scope or limits of a TOS/EULA and what changes can be made.

Currently, Adobe has the full force of contract law to initiate this change without any input from consumers because a case about this has never made it to the courts.

It'll be interesting to see where this goes, but Adobe will likely backpedal on their language in the TOS before any case gets to a Judge because the last thing any company wants is for a TOS/EULA agreement to be fundamentally undermined by a court.

And his refusal in the leadup to the 2020 election to denounce the Proud Boys.

"Stand Back and Stand By" isn't the kind of thing you say to a group you want nothing at all to do with.

What are the odds they're getting one of those scam calls from the "sheriff's office" and the bail is supposed to be in iTunes gift cards?

The person could be legitimately scared, but you don't normally get to pay bail to avoid arrest, you get arrested and pay bail to avoid being held in jail until your court day.

Edit:

I see three possibilities:

-it's all fully legit. The cops somewhere are legitimately threatening this person with imprisonment unless they can pay up. Extortion like this is never a one-time event. They'll keep coming back for more and more money until they can't pay up anymore and arrest them anyway. Your best bet here is to flee the area to somewhere safer rather than pay up.

-The person is legit, but the threat of arrest is a scam.

-The whole post is a scam

Sure, but who knows what shenanigans the techs and pilot were trying to convince the machine to drop the landing gear.

Under normal operations, I'd agree, but I'll bet they were putting something in a maintenance state while it was in the air, and at that point all bets are off.

This is the fundamental problem with LLMs and all the hype.

People with technology experience can understand the limitations of the tech, and will be more skeptical of the output from them.

But your average person?

If they go to Google and ask if vaccines cause autism, and the Google's AI search slop trough contains an answer they like, accurate or not there will be exactly no second guessing. I mean, this is supposed to be a PhD level person, and it was right about the other softball questions they asked, like what color is the sky. Surely they're right about that too, right?

You're the one who brought him into the conversation.

Plus, by the time you find the end, the crew can have moved on.

You could also exploit that to ambush the people trying to follow the cable farther into enemy territory.

That's treating people as Humans. But in our capitalist hellscape, we aren't people, we're Consumers. We exist to provide money to companies, and they're ever interested in finding more ways to make us give them money.

It's not enough that you buy a TV, the manufacturer needs to have ads in it. They need the telemetry on what you watch, when you watch it, and for how long so they can make the ads more relevant. We can't have you replacing your phone battery, so we'll make it an internal component so when it goes bad you're more likely to just get a new phone.

But we can't pay people more, because that's an expense.

The line must go up at all costs.

It was an unpopular shitpost community.

As a Linux user, I can enjoy memes about real problems with Linux, but his posting went beyond memes and straight into hate boner territory. He once said something about how open source is bad because a company charging money for services creates jobs.

Anything other than circle jerking about 'Linux bad Windows good' got you banned.
