[META] Should AI disclosure tags [AI], [NOT AI] be mandated when sharing projects?
Good/bad content is the same whether it’s AI or not, plus those using AI would probably just lie and say it’s not AI.

Websites like Facebook, TikTok and Reddit. Their toxic algorithms try to make you angry on purpose, to keep you clicking. And watch what your kids are looking at online.

Unfortunately unless it’s the algorithm itself publishing the toxicity (which it isn’t), getting rid of the algorithm will not help much.

Google to court: we’ll change our Apple deal, but please let us keep Chrome

You are allowed to suggest sentencing. This isn’t preferential treatment to Google. Of course, the judge doesn’t have to listen to anybody’s suggestions, but you are definitely allowed to make them.

Google Revisits JPEG XL in Chromium After Earlier Removal
Reply in thread
This is being done because PDF is adopting JPEG XL, so Chromium must support it since it doubles as a PDF reader.

Ok, lots of Russian trolls out and about.
It's entirely clear why the change was done, it's not getting reverted, and using multiple random anonymous accounts to try to "grass root" it by Russian troll factories isn't going to change anything.
And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren't troll farm accounts - the "various compliance requirements" are not just a US thing.
If you haven't heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. And by "news", I don't mean Russian state-sponsored spam.
As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call brains. I'm Finnish. Did you think I'd be *supporting* Russian aggression? Apparently it's not just lack of real news, it's lack of history knowledge too.
