To be fair, me as a south European kid I had an hard time to understand where the issue was there 😅 Sure power imbalance but more something to frown upon rather than the huge deal it became.

I think it is better that that kind of “scandals” are not happening any more

diffusive,

Clearly fake: LLM don’t mind citing their sources 😂

diffusive,

Wait! Vatican recognized Palestine?!?

Either way if what Spain said is true and Europe becomes green as well, it would be pretty much US, Australia and Israel to not recognize Palestine

diffusive,

Given we are already seeing AI applications in Military… I suspect Asimov was a bit optimistic 😅

diffusive,

I never felt so close to try NetBSD as after reading this 😃

I guess each person is different. I have zero sexual interest for women under (at very least) 25 (i am slightly older than him at the time they meet)

Even if they look older than they are, i still have no interest because there is too much different life experience and expectations. I just don’t click (as a friend let alone as lover or partner).

Why 18 and not 17 or 25? Well society decided this is a (imo conservative, could have been higher) threshold for old people to have sex with young people.

Also 17 year old people can totally have sex with people of similar age (and we all have done 🙂) so it is not really about sexual self determination but rather avoiding predatory/manipolative behaviors of (much) older partners/lovers

diffusive,

You are really not talking about this any more.

What Germany has to do with this? What war has to do with this?

If you weren’t a trustworthy internet stranger i would make conjectures that this is a topic that hits you personally and you live in Germany. And you are talking about yourself here.

But good you are a trustworthy internet stranger that totally would not look in all possible provisions and exceptions for justifying their actions

diffusive,

The best part is the reference to the “modeling job at shutterstock” 😂😂😂

diffusive,

I lived in Boston like 7 months during my studies. I was on a scholarship from a (not particularly rich) west European country… Can relate with the meme. On the positive side was just few nice hours of groundhog bus to NY 😂

diffusive,

If you don’t have to reencode but only concatenate the streams it can be done for your request specifically because it’s not meaningfully more expensive than just serving the content

diffusive,

The position and length can be randomized, for sure you can throw ai at it… but ai is stupidly expensive… companies that offer AI systems are all operating that business at loss… and no big company would engage in something like this… distilled model on client? Sure… but who trains it? My point is… things can get worse and worse

What're some of the dumbest things you've done to yourself in Linux?

I’m working on a some materials for a class wherein I’ll be teaching some young, wide-eyed Windows nerds about Linux and we’re including a section we’re calling “foot guns”. Basically it’s ways you might shoot yourself in the foot while meddling with your newfound Linux powers....

diffusive,

I don’t use windows for close to 20 years so I didn’t need ntfsclone so far but do I read correctly the man page that only the source is specified as positional parameter? If so, shouldn’t you have to write

nftsclone —overwrite /dev/sdc /dev/sdb? It still can be misleading (given that mv uses two positional parameters so mv -f source destination would have done what you wanted) but a bit less cryptic?

diffusive,

Training a combat pilot used to cost (in early 2000, not sure now) 10M€ for a NATO member.

Find me a modern jet that costs so little. Regardless of what politicians say, human life has a price… and it is waaaay below a jet (even including the training)

diffusive,

Confidentially incorrect: at Google there is no clock in and no clock out (for employees, contractors is different). At Google you can work 1h per day or 20h per day you earn the same. Performances are assessed on the output not on the hour worked.

So, no, find another reason for which Google is right. Popular topic is “they disrupt other people work by making noise” (of course people can work on a laptop in another place because there is generally no special equipment at the desk but details) or “they destroyed properties… you cannot see in the picture but they destroyed millions of precious bacteria on the floor”

diffusive,

As far as I heard (but I am not too familiar) the CEO is essentially never in the office.

Also, according to the video, the office is in California. People were arrested (and fired) in NY as well (where there is no such an office).

Yes, insubordination is the key point. But it’s also the key point of a protest. The take away is that Google doesn’t accept a protest (any more?)

Re trespassing: in the Google offices everyone can pretty much go to any office. They realistically didn’t break into but, sure, they were in an office that wasn’t theirs

diffusive,

There is difference between peaceful protest and sabotage. Exactly like there is a difference between discussing with someone and punch them in the face.

If you think people should not discuss because it’s pointless and should directly switch to punch in the face I suspect you are not necessarily the internet stranger I want to listen to

diffusive,

A milder version of this is what there is in Switzerland. In Switzerland a person cannot rent an house/apartment that costs more than 1/3 of what they earn.

While clearly there are more and less expensive areas, it kills the race to unreasonable prices (like, let’s say, NY or London or… everywhere) and allows essentially everyone to have an house (and who cannot still afford there are social helps but that is for another post)

diffusive,

I am not Swiss but I have lived here long enough to realise they don’t do that out of simple generosity.

They realise that desperate people do desperate things.

And this jeopardise things that the Swiss value like quietness, not having to worry about crime, etc.

In the end nobody is an island and if someone is desperate the whole society is impacted a bit by that single desperate… a lot of desperate people and the society is impacted a lot by it

diffusive,

This is funny but not funny. In my 20s this happened to me… I installed herinux but she wasn’t happy and I couldn’t figure out why 🤷

diffusive,

Can’t remember but at the time I wasn’t drinking alcohol… I was a real celebrity at parties 😂😂

diffusive,

What year is this? 2008?!? Now we have Netflix and piracy is not a problem, right? Oooohhhh right they decided to kill the golden egg chicken but they still want the eggs

diffusive,

Often in Mafia trials there is one or more people that collaborate with justice. The family has to be protected and secured because otherwise Mafia would kill them.

I am saying this for no particular reason except for informing on the degenerate tactics of the Mafia

Facebook snooped on users' Snapchat traffic in secret project, documents reveal (techcrunch.com)

Meta tried to gain a competitive advantage over its competitors, including Snapchat and later Amazon and YouTube, by analyzing the network traffic of how its users were interacting with Meta’s competitors. Given these apps’ use of encryption, Facebook needed to develop special technology to get around it....

diffusive,

Nope, because Facebook app is not a VPN service so it cannot intercept traffic.

What it is unclear from the article is how they circumvented the certificate check on the app side. Probably (given this was many years ago, maybe these apps weren’t setupping certificate pinning/HPKP)

diffusive,

While I see what you are seeing, I think people will just move to the next startup.

Also by Occam’s razor, don’t explain with malice what you can explain with stupidity

diffusive,

To the part that they were bribed.

I think they are simply in the pipe dream that they will become the new LinkedIn
