No, there are.

The “teachings of Jesus” seem just fine: stuff like love thy neighbour no matter what (aka don’t hate minorities), let the one without sins throw rocks first (aka don’t judge), throwing a tantrum at money changers (aka communist).

If only Christians looked up to the one and only character they literally believe is God in human form and try following his actions.

But alas, those Christians are “Christians”, and most know more abot the teachings of Thomas Aquinas than Jesus Christ.

Seems like it could work well for upscaling Oblivion.

“The most uneditable proprietary shit in the world that’s somehow nonproprietary and ultra popular but really has no right to be any of these”

Aka one of the biggest paradoxes of modern computing.

So, how do you say “J” then?

“ᒋ”?

It isn’t Jason, it’s Jayson. But yeah, basically indistinguishable.

And the only sane choice, as opposed to Sequel.

What will likely happen is that if you try to log into your Facebook account you will get a message that says “Your Operating System is not currently supported. Your user experience will be limited to Groups labeled “Everyone”.”

That’s basically it. Your personal user experience will be limited to “kid friendly” areas of the Internet. (Same with apps and games.)

Well, that makes no sense because that means that using an unvetted machine is more beneficial for groomers and predators than a vetted one. Meaning they’ll be incentivized to use that, instead of some perfect system where they’d be easily trackable and held accountable.

All the “App Store” apps like Discover are merely frontends for your system’s underlying package manager (apt for Debian and derivatives, dnf for Fedora and its derivatives).

The underlying package manager does the updating of packages: if you’ve installed it through the package manager (which is usually most stuff on an install) - it’ll get updated.

Discover just gives you a nice, user-friendly way of interfacing with the package manager(s) on your system so you don’t need to bother with the CLI if you don’t want to (that’s what “frontend” means - a nice, friendly UI for underlying services).

And yes, you can have multiple - for example apt and Flatpak. Discover and friends should update all.

Well, it is good at something. Spending money on advertising.

Since when is UX the cause of a need for third-party plugins?

LaTeX is an incredibly mature piece of software, since it exists for some 50 years and is (and was) incredibly popular. Of course newer players won’t have as much ready-made plugins, let alone first-party packages for most stuff.

Latex surely had the exact same issue when it wasn’t as mature as it is today, but in time people wrote plugins and in more time they were included as defaults.

Comparing them quality-wise on equal footing and proclaiming Latex better than the younger, less popular alternative with less developed community code is disingenuous at best.

And UI/UX has absolutely nothing to do with styling: both are features, and one product happens to have one while the other happens to have the other. They’re not mutually exclusive in theory.

However, I will give in that usually resource limits mean only one gets included. But that’s corellation and not causation: good UX does not cause bad feature parity. The core cause is both requiring resources and one is usually made the top priority.

FSFE should report them to the GDPR authority, but also financial ones.

The article says Nexi reached out after ‘cancelling’ the contract - meaning FSFE was financially offline for those few days. If it were a ‘normal’ business this was done to, they would sue for damages to hell and back.

And so should FSFE.

Agreed.

The MasterCard backlash playbook seems to have done well.

Why lax the timelines? Companies have an army of employees. They can deal with the consequences, unlike individuals.

Someone comes home dead from work. Someone’s close family passed away. Someone went to vacation and didn’t get the (snail) mail in time.

A lot of things make the 10-ish day window of “raise issue now” impossible to honour.

However, not for companies.

If people are overworked - hire more.

If someone’s family member died - there’s everyone else in the section to take care of stuff until they return.

If the only person responsible for dealing with this stuff is out on vacation, it’s a managerial issue. One that shouldn’t have happened in the first place.

While the reasons companies raise sound PR-friendly, they’re really not justifications - only mere excuses.

A company is a system, and if it fails a 10-day deadline of dealing with their financial obligations (after months of failing to provide a core customer service on top), it’s a failing system. The only one whose fault it is is the company itself and its (clearly sub-par) management.

Individuals can have the excuse of “life happened”. Companies cannot, as they’re not living beings. Especially since sooner or later, everyone is replaceable in their eyes, and because most can always hire more people without a single meaningful change in any KPI.

About the deadlines: yes, they should be extended. Claimants usually don’t care much abd start the process after months of backlogged claims anyway. Even for a single claimee it’s beneficial - a slower buth more robust system has higher odds of honouring a request.

However, companies have absolutely no ground to request an extension because they’re big. If anything, it should be shortened.

What OP explained isn’t arbitration. When you don’t pay off your bills, they go through a shortened court process in which you haven’t got any representation.

The claimant merely submits their records of the claimee owing them. Then the case is either upheld and the claimee gets 10 days to fight the case or pay before their accounts get impounded, or the case gets thrown out.

The claimee doesn’t have any say in the entire process - they can only raise issues after they get the stern letter to pay.

Since there’s no representation for one side, it’s not arbitration.

If you want specific tasks for designers, here are some:

1. Expand and reorganize Preferences
2. Add an actual page for history with dates and times, filter, grouping, etc.
3. Add an actual page for bookmarks
4. Add a profiles button to easily switch between them

All of these require intensive input from designers and are a net-positive improvement, as opposed to the 4th redesign of the exact same scope.

Honestly, it won’t do much to poison a model. If it can differentiate “this” and “that”, it can also differentiate “this” and “þis”.

It isn’t about font, it’s about (unicode) characters. Lucky for the model, most are named for “normal” letters they resemble, so it’s similar to a font problem.

Lots of edgy teens use these “fonts” (characters) on their Instagram bios as well, so thess things surely made the cut for training data.

Spank you, I try my belt

Isn’t this what the letters mean?

2.) I’ve always wondered, but didn’t want to get flamed for asking: What if you have pet chickens? I don’t eat them, they live a great chicken life, but I end up with a ton of eggs that I give to people I know. Obviously those eggs are eaten. Does this count as some kind of horrible animal cruelty?

Hard to say without context. While taking chickens’ eggs does sound (and inherently is cruel), not even animal rights types care too much. It’s just so ingrained in society.

The difference is when we talk about factory egg farms. Y’know, when they put chikens into their own tiny cage so they can’t turn around in it, their head poking out into the feed box, and they can only lay their eggs into a hatch - no collection required.

Then the eggs get inspected, worse sent for birthing new chickens, and better ones being sold.

Then those for breeding chicken get inspected when the gender of the baby can be known, and 99.9% of male eggs get thrown into a fucking shredder (because you only need 1 rooster per 12-ish breeding hens).

This is what most concerned people have an issue with.

Also there was a post in my feed yesterday about 40% of sea shipping being tankers - so using fossil fuels to haul fossil fuels. That’s surely more carbon-negative than hauling food.

Calories sure, but vitamins and minerals not really. Meat has less micronutrients than plants.
