This very much depends on the subject, I suspect. For math or computer science, wikipedia is an excellent source, and the credentials of the editors maintaining those areas are formidable (to say the least). Their explanations of the underlaying mechanisms are in my experience a little variable in quality, but I haven’t found one that’s even close to outright wrong.
They may laugh now, but you’re gonna kick ass when you get isekai’d.
People root for underdogs.
And Palestine seems to be kinda on Russia’s side as well so remind me again why I should support them at all?
… Please stop agreeing with me, you’re awful.
Not trying to be that guy I swear, have you got a source? That number seems pretty high, even for Israel.
I think it’s more that it’s hard to explain why palantir’s war crimes are war crimes (to the average uninformed voter, to be clear. Information warfare, what an abstract concept), but “My Child’s Classmates Digitally Removed Her Clothes” is pretty easy to explain (and the country isn’t divided about pedophilia even being a crime…)
It (nudify) makes AI look bad and is the leading example people are using when proposing legislation to regulate AI. If they can end this prominent thing, not only do they look like they’re fighting for the users, but they help keep the gvmt from meddling with whatever henious shit they want to do with AI (by removing the best argument the pro-regulation groups have right now)
If we’re randomly declaring things with zero basis except our wounded pride, I’m declaring you the prettiest unicorn to ever grace the boards and I shall brook no challengers to your glorious reign-bow.
…
I’ll figure out how this reflects my wounded pride later.
Yes, it’s the bare minimum precaution you can implement. But at the same time, it’s the bare minimum precaution you can implement. There’s really no excuse for not doing it, and it catches a shocking number of images.
So did anyone else in the study turn to terrorism to express themselves…?
For anyone who doesn’t know who this was, it’s a photo of Ted Kaczynski - the unabomber- a terrorist who over approx. 20 years mailed and placed a series of bombs targeting universities and other technology-focused places and people, killing three and permanently injuring more than a dozen others.
Posting him here is a reference to his manifesto in which he lays out many grievances against technology and industrialization, including increased ability for governments to surveil their citizens.
Used to keep a terminal sesh up that was just scrolling top
on the dev server whenever I felt like being lazy while looking productive. Took my very tech savvy boss a couple months before he finally noticed.
GITS:SAC drinking game, take a shot every time they spend way too long on an angle featuring the major’s ass. Or she’s wearing an underbust oncepiece swimsuit in a professional meeting for just… no reason.
I just wanna point out that while cowboy bebop is incredible, Fae Valentine’s outfit is skimpy to the point that she’s wandering around with her shorts unbuttoned in basically every scene where she’s not in a disguise (and she’s only staying in that top through the power of double-sided tape). By modern standards it’s really not great towards the women characters (except possibly ed).
We also appreciate those. But not actively, at least not while in a professional setting. That’d be rude.
The old adage “The worst-dressed nerd in the meeting is the most important one” could use some updating for the modern era to include trans folks with really good fits…
No, we’re just not their target market. Most of their users, inexplicably, actually like changes like this.
Is it really that bad, though? Compared to spending hours fighting with 3rd party drivers or wine or etc. every time there’s a change to the software in question, restarting to a different partition is pretty trivial. Configure both OSs to mirror non-sys files to network storage or a shared partition (and there’s plenty of ready-made utilities for this) and it’s honestly a pretty easy solution to being stuck with “iNdUsTrY sTaNdArD” software.
I get where you’re coming from, I do. The only reason I’m saying this is because the difficulty in dual booting is often brought up when discussing switching, and it really discourages people that are curious about trying linux (but are still tied to the apple/M$ world) from making the switch when they’re constantly told how hard it is to use both.
