We had bus fare controllers in my city that did that a few years ago.
They wore kilts because as usual the dresscode allowed for female clothes like skirts etc.
There is probably hundreds of example of that specific malicious compliance.
Archive.today owner looks like a clown.
I had no idea they were doing all kinds of nefarious shit like that.
This is a conversation about the issue of proprietary formats in our institutions.
And I think PDF is a problem in that regard. It’s not fully open and the format still can break. Forms in particular are still very problematics. Forms are very useful in institutions…
* Only if you dont use the many still proprietary extensions of PDF I suppose.
Anyway I’m not sure following the Adobe standard in our institutions is the smartest move.
I did the switch to full time linux gaming a few weeks ago.
Initially I was on PoP OS but I wasn’t happy with it. I reinstalled everything on Cachyos and it has been very good so far.
Here are the main “hurdles” that I think I should not have encountered in my “liberation” :
That being said, leaving Windows makes me incredibly happy and I’m very thankful for the great opportunity the open source community has given me through great free software.
“Don’t use that proprietary format ! Use PDF instead !”
PDF is also an issue.
I suppose we could also see in the future more cars that can swap their battery in charging stations.
IMO that’s the more long term use of these stations. Instead of buying gas you would swap for new batteries.
Gas stations are often well placed for refuelling so might as well repurpose them to do that but for electric cars.
Electric scooters with swappable batteries work super well in urban areas. I’m convinced once this tech is deployed on most cars it will trivialise long trips in electric cars.
This and electrified highways would be amazing.
I wish they would support the fairphone.
I suppose it would be a good candidate for that.
Don’t worry, we will all be paying for it when the AI jenga tower will fall.
Businesses can make huge investments mistakes and then they will ask for help from the government that will have to save them to prevent total collapse and to save jobs. So we will pay for a few dumb CEOs like we always do.
Yeah, this article forgot about encryption.
And I doubt a military satellite would be launched without some very strong encryption from the get go.
Now if the enemy satellite docks or send any projectile to our own… Now that’s an issue.
Do juries decide who is in contempt of the court?
You are essentially saying the crowd has to do its own justice.
It’s a courtroom, not a voting booth.
Jailtime for wearing glasses that can record videos in the courtroom?
Maybe the death penalty while you are at it?
What if they have so much telemetry to send they could do a speedtest with its data?
Or Aaron Swartz…
Fascinating! And also a bit sad for a french cheese consumer…
I think you just contradicted yourself.
I rest my case about generalization.
Also what does their audience has to do with the fact that you equate a Veritasium channel to a MrBeast channel ?
It’s weird because you started by saying you didn’t understand Youtubers and now you are comparing the audience of entirely different channel.
It’s fine you had a stereotypical conception of Youtubers, you dont need to change the subject.
No it’s DM from people that are not in your friend list. I often receive scam messages on Discord and only notice them months latter.
The simple fact that they will be hidden deep in the inbox IMO is important. If a teen doesn’t see messages from strangers they had no prior contact with that’s good in my book.
I think it’s much better than just letting these nasty DMs stay in the dark anyway.
At least a teen will have to go out of his way and ignore the warnings to get in contact with some freak.
Also what better solution do you suggest to implement ?
So teen-per-default means that adults can freely talk to teens, which should be prevented.
That’s not my understanding.
I get your point but by default if Discord thinks you are a teen it also implies all the limitations associated with that status. Which means some media will be blurred and some commands cannot be done.
An adult can keep his “teen default status” but he also keeps all the limitations associated with it. Which I suppose doesn’t mean they can “freely” talk to other accounts as you state.
Notably the DM that a groomer would send will end up in a special inbox for all teens or for that matter “default teen”.
Just like gun control was the topic I would purposefully avoid on reddit, AI and LLM are the new forbidden subject here.
