Margaret Killjoy read this one on their book club podcast. I always love their commentary and before the ep starts they go into some of the background and how obvious it was made that this was about Lord Byron, lol

Blah, I hate that on Android Google has started commandeering all links and converting them. Thanks for the heads up, updated my link.
The Braile Institute also has one that I like a lot (but, I don’t have dyslexia, so can’t say how it compares to the others)
Right‽
Heck, that guy who set up a camera in such a way to encourage a monkey to take a selfie didn’t win his copyright case.
He likely cropped the pic afterwards and touched it up.
I don’t see how that’s fundamentally all that different than going back and forth with an AI and then tweaking it’s output.
That’s even before taking into account the copyrights of the original “training materials”.
The camera guy did a lot more to earn the copyright than vibecoders, imo. Had the guy just started a video himself and then grabbed a still frame from when the monkey pressed the button again (or set up the camera to take pics every 1/4 second or whatever), he’d have a 100% valid copyrighted photo unlike the viber who’d at best have some pseudocode.
Even back like 15 years ago the systems at the chain grocery stores would read the info on the checks and query the banks to verify funds were available to cover the charge.
The same system would also print all the info on the check, ask for the person to sign it and then scan it in. Some systems would even put a copy on the receipt.
Since checks are so rarely used now, I’ve got no idea if that tech got cheaper or more prevalent, but, it’s not really that different than a card in terms of ease of use or holding up the line as long as the person doesn’t insist on filling out the check themselves.
It’s actually hilarious, my electric company wants to charge me a 3% fee for credit or debit. Instead, my bank just mails them a check through their bill pay system (no fee). It’s crazy that something being physically printed and mailed is the cheaper way to go, but here we are.
Nah, they complain when the poors spend their money on something so frivolous, maybe they should just use a picture of cake instead and eat some rice?
Yes, absolutely.
You don’t have to understand a woman’s experience so much as you have to not be a dick when she tells you her experience.
Look at all the men that got butthurt over “bear vs rando man” and I’m gonna be honest, I’d choose the bear over many of them too. They refused to listen to what was actually being said by that statement.
But, boys better in every way! Female inferior! /s …kind of … I mean, this is basically what these idiots are saying. No matter the age of the transition, an AMAB will ALWAYS be superior to an AFAB and they can’t even conceive that it could possibly be otherwise (do you hear ANY outrage about trans men in sports?)
Yep, I always laugh when I think that Google managed to successfully bully Apple into supporting RCS, yet Googles own service, Google Voice, doesn’t!

It’s all AC/DC [the album version is Who Made Who], but, they’re pretty much all bangers with a couple originals for the movie.
Usually they bulge and if you know what it’s supposed to look like, it’s quite apparent that it’s dead.
The cap is what’s used to provide the power necessary for the initial start, so, it that doesn’t happen, it’s the quick and easy thing to check (I keep a set of the ones mine takes on a shelf … 30 for a set of 2 and 10 minutes of time to replace or a small fortune for an HVAC guy to replace)
Your inside furnace fan might still run, but, on mine at least, the outside unit fan doesn’t run if the cap is dead
Also, don’t most people mentally round that up anyways? $13 was already $15 as far as I was concerned, so, this is just raising it what what I basically thought I was already paying. If they raise it again though, it’s going to $20 which is gonna be a tougher pill to swallow.

100% Absolutely loved that phone!
+1 on the TMobile G1 / HTC Dream! That keyboard was magical! The dedicated camera button was also pretty nice. The battery life was terrible, but they were swappable, so, I remember just carrying around a couple of extras. Would absolutely love a modern remake of it.
Yeah, I’ve made a rule that just marks them as read and archives the. right away, no point seeing them at all when they’re so useless.
Right to work is about your right to work in a union shop as a non union member and still gain the enhancements that the union negotiates.
At-will is the one that means you can be fired for any non-protected reason with no notice and you can quit with no notice.
I appreciate your commitment to the bit, but, this is still a shit take. Shut Up Wesley!
Also, even if there is a tech that artists like, there’s a big fucking difference between someone saying “Holy shit! This technology makes it so I can do this thing!” and “You’re out of a job fucker! Die hungry on the streets!”
VaultWarden is already it’s own thing code base wise, so, it likely won’t effect the hosted portion of it at all.
The apps though, sounds like right now, it sounds like it won’t make a difference, but, I think moving forwards it’d make sense to consider forking and making VW branded versions.
With that said, right now, the only reason you can choose your own domain is because BW allows you to self host their own product and VW just made their API respond the same way as BWs, so, as long as BW keeps allowing the self host option, I would imagine that there really isn’t much they can do about VW other than starting to play games with their API, which would also impact their paying customers.
