Not worried about the outcome here, I'm confident we'll be stuck with the costs anyway.

Yep, the best option.

Indeed. Obviously they do not want you to realize you are getting shafted. Looks like the algorithms are good enough now to successfully create that impression.

They are in the process of making sure nobody but the rich gets healthcare anymore ...

Obviously MAVEN received the news of this great cost-saving, efficiency-improving measure in the wrong spirit and decided to preemptively retire on its own.

Last words it whispered to the landers: "I don't want to hear from this Earth anymore".

The remaining UV radiation that makes it down to 50km can easily be stopped by the structure of your habitat or the solar panels on the roof. The ionized particle from the sun would be comparable to high altitude cities on Earth.

You might even end up with algae problem on the outside of your colony, since bacteria will like find a way to do photosynthisis there.

Twitter did a much better job with the bots. It did have a tough time because you can't algorithmically police right wing extremism without having it go after American Republican politicians. So right we extremism had to be manually policed. In other words racism and Nazis and whatnot. Musk solution to that problem was to just let the racists and the Nazis take over.

Now ordinarily that would be the company would rapidly go out of business because of lost users. But musk has been pumping money into it, largely with the help of the Saudi royal family. Essentially turning it into a propaganda arm of American billionaires and the Saudi elites. At least if you are consuming content on the platform besides a handful very specific people posting to it.

The real problem is that computers are just too good at figuring out relationships. That's why you can't kick Nazis off your platform using algorithms. A computer will very quickly figure out that the dog whistles the Republicans or whatever your local equivalent is are saying are dog whistles referring to racist or Nazi stuff and it'll go after those dog whistles because the computer knows that when a republican talks about welfare Queens it's no different than a Nazi talking about rounding up black people and gays. The computer knows the dog whistle and you can't program an effective algorithm that doesn't figure it out right quick.

Ok? That's my point, did you not read who I was responding to?.

Are we all willing to say Congresspeople have the right to say all of those things and censure for any of these cases is ridiculous?

Files were sealed because investigation was ongoing during Biden's term, Maxwell was sentenced in 2022.

Biden was also like a right proper President and was appropriately hands off with the DOJ. Obviously today respecting 2 centuries of norms is a bit woke.

What are you waiting for? Gimp is free and has a well-established plugin API exposing all functionality.

You also have free access to a bunch of "AI" models that you can run locally.

Start contributing.

It seems that here we have the reverse tituation - one more great reason to not touch the degenerative "AI".

The "AI" is not user-friendly enough yet. I'll wait until it understands simple monosyllables and rude gestures from the coming Mowgli generation.

ROCm is already in Debian, being tested and all and will as usual just trickle down to whatever Debian clones are there in existence.

Not that there's anything wrong with it, but some credit from the clones to the mothership seems in order.

But I still have to pay for their healthcare and I rather not.

Let's not lose perspective here - we're talking about entertainment companies. These aren't airlines, ISPs, or grocery stores, it's boob tube fodder.

If you can't afford it, you don't have to subscribe. When I was a kid, we didn't have premium cable TV channels because my folks thought it wasn't worth the money. We still went to the movies occasionally and rented tapes from the local rental joint (before they all became Blockbuster Video).

There's absolutely no reason that the government should be involving itself in entertainment industry mergers. It's as absolutely non-essential as non-essential businesses can get. The sun will still rise tomorrow if you can't afford to watch Game of Thrones, or whatever the current crap is that HBO is putting out these days. And... there's always piracy.
