Needle meet haystack. The worst thing is that they all are requiring commercials even if you paid for not having them.

i don’t know how you nterpreted that article, but to me it was just a dude overwhelmed by volume, and sending some to others so he can continue to be effective. i don’t think he was claiming anything about AI or the patches themselves.

I’m not blaming nyone. I’m pointing out the folly of splitting the vote in this particular electoral system. if one must go point a finger, then it would be anyone who does not like their party’s choice and decides to run themselves as independents. they basically increase thr likelyhiod their party will lose if they actually convince people to vote for them.

i just wish it worked with Signal, GVoice. my cell # is more of a placeholder than an in-use communication endpoint.

you can browse android folders from your pc as if it is a local volume, so you can copy files in bulk easily without having to keep a mirror.

the desired use is not a good use case for syncthing. i use it for things like syncing my game saves between computers or anything that works like dropbox.

it is overkill for one-off file transfer and creates a dependency that probably is not desired. if mirroring is the need, then it is the right tool - if you don’t have your own NAS with a drive/dropbox service, which is just cleaner.

with kde connect and gsconnect you can use Nautilus to browse files over sftp. faster than mtp if you have a hight speed wifi connection. you also get sometimes useful features of notifications, sms message access and sending.

also, don’t forget the power and speed of adb vs mtp.

i always thought he was a bit sleazy, so I’m inclined to believe the verdict. I hope it was rendered based on evidence rather than unsubstantiated claims of possibly disgruntled individuals.

sorry, yes, I’m sorry i didn’t make that clear. if Democrats remain unified in their choice, they Decide who is the next speaker. There is probably one or two cases in history where the speaker was from the minority party due to cross party votes.

Sure, theoretically, but when you have a population where 35-40% want to watch the world burn or are too stupid to know the difference between that and “freedom”, versus 60% of the population who want to see things improve, Are you really okay with that 60% splitting 30/30, leaving the other 35 to 40% winning the day?

let’s be real. we aren’t going to magically convince that 30 to 35 percent the error of their ways.

Thus, if we take what it looks like you’re saying is the moral high ground, we by default let mendacity, racism, and cruelty win.

That’s an awfully harsh assessment. People are being encouraged to do this sort of thing and as a language teacher why not get a first draft done for you?

The real test of whether it is pitiful it is if that person took what was given and ran with it rather than review and modify it.

If society is demanding people know how to use AI, it would be stupid of a teacher not to do so themselves, because they have to teach how to use it.

Once again, the key is how one uses AI, not if one uses AI.

it’s an election by the members, so if Democrats have a majority, they get their candidate

oh,well that is different. Go AOC!

i make the same claim any time there is an existential threat to civilization and someone runs for office and appeals to many people who’d otherwise vote for the existing candidate who is against the existential threat.

divide and conquer is a thing you know.

this is the way.

bonus: put it on your NAS in a file-sync folder.

yeah…

I think in reality it is more about the arrogance and the trump-adjacent world view. Also, a typical management line about AI being the critical tool to use without regard for its weaknesses.

you speak in logical thought, but in my experience the boss does not care about that. you are expected to do the job in the time allotted and any failure is your responsibility even (and especially) if they pulled you off of that to deal with “more important” priorities in the middle of your work. you will be dinged for failing to complete it by deadline.

this was eventually used to justify laying me off at my last job even though i usually pulled it off.

My short time on a term abroad many years ago in France did not expose me to that. You may well be right. However, the actions they took while doing that To me, it was equivalent to “get the cow”.

The Monty Python crew is a whole bunch of really really smart people so they may have had that Slang in mind and perhaps they did say that.

edit: unrelared comment , since you are French: i fell in love with Mylene Farmer while there, still love her work and am happy to see she is still doing amazing work today.

when i heard Alizee sing i had a hunch and found i was right that Mylene and her husband were on her team. i recognized the style.
