The tricky thing about being a company that I don't trust is that even when you try to clarify something you need to be aware that specificity can sound suss.

"Adobe does not train Firefly Gen AI models on customer content."

The way this is worded does not say your content is not used in training AI models, just that it's - SPECIFICALLY - not used to train "Firefly Gen AI models."

Just say, "Adobe does not train AI models on customer content,"

But now it's like, oh hey, maybe they've trained their Podcast Enhance audio model on user audio files. Maybe they've trained their colour matching or re framing models on user edits.

Oh - and of course, "Adobe will never assume ownership of a customer's work"

So you grant yourself the mother of all licenses, effectively giving you all the perks of ownership, but hey, you won't 'assume ownership' as a technicality. Well great.

I could understand arguing for more public transport options, even the idea of cheaper point-to-point 'social uber' that's more affordable to folks (as idealistic as it is given our state government's recent development commitments.. tax payers bankrolling an expensive stadium that no who lives here actually asked for and adding highway lanes into a city with limited traffic capacity while the tracks of a once-existent railway system continues to grow weeds).

But to post a comment on an article about how bus fares are being halved arguing that their inconvenience to you demands that they should instead be privatised makes zzzeeerrrooo sense.

If you want a privatised Uber-model transport system... you have Uber?

Unless you mean having a privatised bus system... which also makes no sense. You want the same inconvenience you're complaining about and? Other states have tried privatising their bus services, it didn't go so great.

What even...

Someone needs to tell stock photography websites that 'photography' means something... take a hint Shutterstock, it's right in your name.

generated images are not photos - and allowing me to 'exclude AI images' is pretty pointless if so many of these images are not labelled as such.

Like are you kidding me? How is this an 'illustration'? What am I even looking at here?

If you use Mastodon on desktop (as opposed to mobile), I cannot praise highly enough Phanpy https://phanpy.social/
It really cleans up my timeline, handles replies very nicely, and allows for a great "refresh" (view updates) experience.

@BartWronski Wow the catchup feature is fantastic

This week, we're hitting the shop floor for a big design that (I hope) will ultimately become a space for a conference.

So far... it's a doughnut.

Is this to remind attendees that they better getting running around this track to burn off eating too many pastries? We shall see...

@elizabethtasker This is so freaking cool! 🤯

I just searched for something on and got a “DuckAssist” at the top of the results, right below the ads (of course).

It was basically a ChatGPT like message as if I’d typed the question there.

@kev Working in education and having Microsoft and Adobe shoving AI into every possible nook and cranny they can has been depressing.

@tivasyk well phew, my mind is at ease. thank you so much for your contribution.

I want to see absolutely no sensible and practical advice here. What programming language should I start vaguely and in a chill way teaching myself if I just want to experience something fun or elegant or interesting in and of itself, assuming I have no goal for using it to do anything really (outside of learning)

@darnell I'm hoping for an iPad Mini Pro... I find the Mini form factor easier to carry around, but having the performance display and LiDAR of the Pro line would make it sooo much better. Don't like my chances though.

Why is Windows so bad at basic file operations? Isn't this supposed to be a Disk Operating System? Copying files is slow and unpredictable. Canceling file copies are bizarrely slow. If a file is added to a directory, I have to manually refresh for Windows Explorer to notice.

There is, in my downloads folder, a file named "2019-07-02 gutenberg.org.tar.part". I don't remember downloading this. Windows claims it to be several hundred gigabytes larger than my hard drive.

BenjaminNelan,
@BenjaminNelan@mastodon.social avatar

@mcc Made the mistake of downloading and extracting a GitHub repository with tonnes of SVG icons.

The resulting folder was an enigma to Windows Explorer. I couldn't delete or move it and it was tediously slow to traverse it's contents.

Another clanger from Microsoft -

  • zero day vulnerability being exploited in Windows OS for six months in the wild by North Korea

  • They didn’t tell anybody, took six months to make a patch

  • released the patch without saying what happened

  • didn’t mark it as a zero day in Microsoft Vulnerability Management

You’d think having the largest market cap in the world and having $2bn a year in revenue from security alone would allow.. uh.. investment.

@GossiTheDog But at least they remember to remind me every time windows updates that I can change all my defaults to their 'recommended' settings. Gotta love their priorities...

@MissingThePt Meanwhile... twitter trains on user data and no longer allows logged-out users to browse profiles or threads.

I would welcome a fight between the pot and the kettle but neither of them are going to change.
