Apple had to turn it off for their sunmary mode after backlash, even though the option always had the “these summaries are generated by AI and can be inaccurate” warnings placed prominently.
Google doing this shit without warning or notice will get them in shit water. News portals and reporters are generally not too fond of their articles being completely misrepresented.
She’s getting a nice kickback from all the US investments (both public and private) into Israel. It’s that simple. Money talks. Dead children don’t.
No you see those are totally fake videos edited by Hamas to garner sympathy, the reality is that all Palestinians are bloodthirsty savages who’d gladly kill any and all innocent israeli if given the opportunity!
Hillary, most likely. But also, /s on my part if it wasn’t obvious.
Oh no the local library is closed today, what do I do with my need for reliable information?
Dunno mate, have you tried asking Hitler?
It will be a very interesting period when he dies, but for 4-5 days nobody dares to remove his body from the White House, thereby leaving his rotting corpse in office.
I mean that interpretation isn’t inherently wrong, and in today’s views makes sense.
And the term doesn’t apply directly to this case (hence my “(quasi? proto?)” remarks), but has enough similarities to be related more than just tangentially.
I liked movie Hammond too, don’t get me wrong. It’s just a completely different story because of the character shift.
Protection of children on the internet should never be one-sided. It shouldn’t be the services protecting children only.
And while I agree that the issue with Roblox is systemic (as in, the whole company doesn’t give a flying fuck about kids being groomed as long as the groomer paedos are buying Robux in large enough quantities), and they should be doing more, what really needs to change is parents’ attitude.
Because let’s be honest, most parents are just like Roblox, they don’t give a flying fuck about what their kids do on the internet as long as they get their 15-20 minutes of uninterrupted me-time.
And it’s not even directly the parents’ fault, I’d argue, because most parents today simply don’t have the knowledge and capacity to secure their kids’ online activities. The tooling on most platforms (looking at both Apple and Google, although Microsoft and Sony are similarly bad) is tucked away, not intuitive, barebones just so they can claim “we have parental control”. Most routers, phones, laptops, consoles, etc. all do the same. You need to be on sysadmin level to properly set up security rules for kids, something that should come out of the box. If we’ve managed kid-safe containers for medication, washing up liquid, dishwasher soap, bleach, etc., surely we can manage a properly unified approach to protecting kids?
Oh but of course that’s not a priority for our hyper-capitalistic systems.
Overall, no, I strongly disagree with your opinion on making the internet a shittier place just to protect kids. It’s like recommending a sex shop to have a child friendly lobby in case a parent let’s their crotch goblin wander in… idiotic and the polar opposite of what we should be doing.
The movie really dumbed Hammond down to “overly optimistic money guy with a vision”. Which was a bit distasteful if you’ve read the books. Just a bit.
You’ve got the definition wrong.
Stochastic terrorism is when the attack outcome is predictable statistically, but not individually. In this case, the sentence would’ve resulted in the murder of the archbishop, but you couldn’t pinpoint who and when would commit it.
Is the target’s randomness actually part of stochastic terrorism as a definition?
I think it would be the other way around - that the event/terrorist itself is random, and only statistically predictable, without there being a call for it.
For example, the whole Paul Pelosi attack was an instance of stochastic terrorism - right wing pundits have been painting a target on her back for years, one of their followers decided to act on those veiled calls to violence, and the only reason why Nancy wasn’t hurt was because she wasn’t home. The culprit even admitted that he wanted to torture her and that attacking the husband was just collateral damage.
Also potentially the first documented case of (quasi? proto?) stochastic terrorism.
The EU pushing USB-C (and other standardised charging protocols) does actually help every country - because for most manufacturers it will be cheaper to swallow that extra $1-2 cost (at most, incl. design changes for products already in planning) than to set up two separate product lines.
Also included in this: the thousands upon thousands of mobile games that are literally the same exact game with minor asset switching.
Like, 99% of those “town/castle/whatever building” games that have fixed locations for buildings etc., they’re all based on maybe 2-3 white label game “engines” that are ready to be re-labelled with new assets, new logos, new story (even though the story events driving it are the same, the “side dish” storytelling changes minimally).
This also goes for pretty much any game format that becomes trending. You can bet your tushie that the moment a game format is even just borderline popular… there will be a dozen or so Chinese software houses copying the mechanics and looks and behaviour, and within a week you can buy a white label version of it for a few thousand dollars.
It’s annoying to read. That’s why.
Yes.
More and more common personal things are being electronised - toothbrushes, shavers/razors, water picks, just to name a few from the bathroom, but there’s also the tons of various nightstand bits, kitchen utilities (I actually have a handheld stick blender/whisk that uses USB-C, as well as a milk frother), the list goes on.
If it’s a low power device (sub-100W charging/supply), USB-C should be mandatory for it.
Yes I know USB-C can now do 240W but it’s not widespread yet and people would be annoyed by the fact their €5 10W charging brick can’t make their 200W thingie work.
Can We Please Stop Editorial Capitalising Titles - It Is Super Annoying And Adds No Value Nor Does It Make Your Blog More Distinguished.
Given that Reddit started banning people left and right, I don’t think the “banned from Reddit” bagde is one of shame.
Mind you this was ~12 years ago, and I was quite out of it. Not sure what exactly they did or did not. Most of this is retelling from what the doctor told me the next day, after surgery.
I was hoping the sarcasm in the first sentence was dripping enough to be noticeable :)
