Of course it is, it's from the playbook. Hopefully it doesn't work - it seems like the protesters see through every move they make.

"Will Chrome, Edge, and Other Privacy-Focused Browsers follow this move?"

And it's not The Onion.

I'm not surprised, but this finding would not have crossed my mind.

I thought this was about ending the practice of moving the clock back and forth twice a year, but no, it's just about soon moving the clock

“TD Bank created an environment that allowed financial crime to flourish,” Garland said. “By making its services convenient for criminals, it became one.”

I hope no one indeed will be "off limits" in the criminal investigation, let's see...

I agree. I love Mastodon's calm columnar UI with lists and hashtags where I feel I'm in control of my experience, and that I can just stop whenever and come back in three days.

 

More and more Americans, and indeed workers around the world, believe that while the technology may be creating a new billionaire class, it is not working for them. The more technology is used to replace rather than augment labor, the worse the disparity may become, and the greater the resentments that feed destructive political instincts and actions. More fundamentally, the moral imperative of treating people as ends, and not merely as means, calls for everyone to share in the gains of automation.

The solution is not to slow down technology, but rather to eliminate or reverse the excess incentives for automation over augmentation. A good start would be to replace the Turing Test, and the mindset it embodies, with a new set of practical benchmarks that steer progress toward AI-powered systems that exceed anything that could be done by humans alone. In concert, we must build political and economic institutions that are robust in the face of the growing power of AI. We can reverse the growing tech backlash by creating the kind of prosperous society that inspires discovery, boosts living standards, and offers political inclusion for everyone. By redirecting our efforts, we can avoid the Turing Trap and create prosperity for the many, not just the few.

I finally got around to installing OpenMW - it looks much better! Thanks again

I agree with you, I'm also missing context. I agree this looks very fishy for the police to be paying her a visit with the "you are walking a line" comment, but without knowing all the details, I'm reluctant to jump into definitive conclusions. I really hope this story gets picked up by media so we at least get that side as well, however imperfect it might be.

Agreed, no big deal. But YouTubers who knew about it before this controversy will typically use the intended pronouncing, and it's easy to spot those who didn't care much about it until this all started.

It sounds like G-DOUGH.

This never crossed my mind, but you are right. Online interactions do lack a lot of context, and it must have been hard (or practically impossible) to discern genuine from malicious calls to remain apolitical in a situation of intense online harassment.

This is evident in a few ways:

  • How they subtly or glaringly misunderstand what it is and what it does
  • How they call it "a company"
  • How they pronounce it as GO-DOT
 

U pravu je Vučić kad kaže da nisu sve zemlje uvek bile bogate i sve uvek siromašne. Samo što su na čelu zemalja koje su „proklete“ resursima obično autoritarne i korumpirane vlasti u službi transnacionalnih korporacija.

 

The irony...
