I don’t get what those companies try to achieve by automating writing (by spewing statistically probable prose), reading (by badly summarizing text cobbled from excerpts without the ability to make any sense of it), art, photography, music, all standardized to the lowest common denominator.

I’m not buying a new device that will try to impose any of this hype. For now, Apple has decided to “punish” the users in the European Union by holding the Apple Intelligence features hostage. FINE BY ME!

in German they use the word for assembling 2 big mechanical parts together, like the carriage and the body of a car

It’s getting pretty hopeless to see all these political figures so often put in front of a judge, but it seldom has an impact on their career. Never imprisoned, fines are hardly a problem considering how rich (or friend of rich people) most of them are, or they have someone to take the fall.

These days, it’s even an advantage to be prosecuted or condemned, making them appear as victims.

yeah really interesting in this case both come from Latin, and both made their way in the modern languages, one in its masculine form the other in its feminine form.

• Pullus (adj.) very small (animal), a young rooster, “pulla” for the female chicken. French : la poule
• Gallus (name) rooster, “gallina” for the female chicken. French : le gallinacé (a chicken specimen, member of the species Gallus domestica)

And in French everything has a gender: a table? Definitely a she. A coat hanger? Looks like a he to me. A car? Look at those curves, she it is. That truck though, totally masculine. But the trailer behind it, still a she.

Mostly if you find an attached GitHub repository to the software, you can have a bit more trust in it than otherwise, it means that the developer is putting their cards on the table and not trying to hide something nefarious. Of course there are caveats to this but it’s a good start.

In a three dimensional calendar that could work, 4 days deep ?

I fart in your general direction!

I’m French and I’m never mad when I hear outside opinions on the shitshow currently happening in my country. Second Thought made a good video on the subject, I don’t think you should be bound to only discussing the politics of where you are a citizen.

The arrest is because telegram is not encrypted by default, has access to everything, and still doesn’t remove illegal stuff from their platform.

But weakening or interdicting of encryption has been on the playbook of authoritarians for a long time now.

I don’t even want to turn on the speed limiter because I’m getting random fantom breaking, it’s really infuriating.

She did the Picard maneuver I think
