Shut up and get back down the mines or your robot manager-security-cop will have to terminate you. Meet your billionaire-enforced quota and you’ll live to enjoy another day of mining.

Next: game companies can subscribe to NVIDIA anti-AI-cheating AI. This is innovation under capitalism.

You’re right, sorry, my mistake. I had the wrong currency setting.

It’s nowhere near that cheap.

Also those companies: Wait, AI isn’t allowed to steal from us!

It’s not even their own content. Google took the search results from the sites they crawled and scraped.

Lawmakers will make exceptions to allow E2EE for their own communications and those of the very wealthy.

Remember how, before the internet, intelligence agencies by default didn’t know what anyone was saying to anyone else face to face or by mail, and had to actually work to find out? The country didn’t fall apart. Why is the standard now that everything must be handed to them on a plate? Did they just get lazy?

Some of us want privacy, think genocide is bad, and think trans people should be free to live as who they are. If I ever try to enter the UK again I may cause a national emergency.

Well that makes more sense. Thanks for the information!

Is this named after Karl Popper? If so that’s unfortunate because Popper spent his life arguing against the validity of inductive reasoning in science. His distinctive contribution was to try to describe a scientific method that did not depend on induction.

It’s not really any cheaper. The only way you can save money is by not buying anything but sticking with what you have already.

Not just the tech industry. A huge proportion of the US economy is made up of betting on AI. Like the crash of 2008 (but worse, some predict) it will hurt everyone but the richest, who will become even richer.

Meanwhile, manufacturers have less flexibility with budget notebooks. Lowering their specs would make the affordable options struggle with even basic tasks in Windows 11.

Linux would help. And keeping that old PC for as long as it still works. Microsoft didn’t see this coming with their attempt to force everyone onto new hardware. So much for their bloated, resource-guzzling “AI OS”. No one wants it and no one will have the money to run it.

In Chinese, affirmation is often compiled through negation:

没错 (méi cuò) = “not wrong” = Right

不差 (bù chà) = “not bad” = Decent

还行 (hái xíng) = “still passable” = Okay

没事 (méi shì) = “no problem” = It’s fine

In English, this feels bizarre. If something is good, you say:

Nice

Great

Perfect

Brilliant

You name the quality directly. You point at it. You own it.

In American positivity-laden, self-marketing, businessy English perhaps. But in the UK “not bad”, “could be worse”, “not wrong”, “can’t complain”, “I’ve had worse” and so on is often as positive as it gets, or at least was for a long time. American positive-speak gets on British people’s nerves; it’s perceived as boorish, boastful and unsubtle. And “no problem” is common in English all over. British people do say “brilliant” but only when they’re being unusually enthusiastic, or fake, or sarcastic.

The font was chosen in an effort to make documents easier to read for the vision impaired.

So It’s Republican policy that the government must not, even in the smallest way, make life any easier for disabled people? And the government must not do nothing and leave in place something that already makes life easier for them, but must actively intervene to make it harder? Of course it is, but what the fuck is wrong with these people that they dedicate their entire life to getting into government so they can punch down and hurt others? How have they not even accidentally stumbled into being better than the worst they can be?

Until version 8.8.7 of Notepad++, the developer used a self-signed certificate, which is available in the Github source code.

That doesn’t sound wise.

I wouldn’t mind so much if they were giving their own arms and legs, but they seem to be giving ours.
