Strong disagree. Twitter's rules don't accomplish what Twitter says they accomplish, and the enforcement is uneven, arbitrary, unreasonable, and utterly opaque to users. I've seen countless examples of utterly arbitrary enforcement, and regularly repeated claims that perfectly normal content is somehow a violation. Not only in my case, but in many, many cases.
In this case, a woman was gleefully discussion the fact that human face mites do, in fact, have anuses, and therefore our faces are covered in face mite poo. The conversation was already about this topic - merely suggesting that we affix tiny diapers to them so we can study the poo is not hostile in anyway. This person didn't understand or like the suggestion and instead of muting the tweet or the tweet author, they used Twitter's rules and the company's pro-complainant bias to remove my ability to use the service. That's neither just nor reasonable nor sensible.
I'd suggest examining your instinct to defend the giant faceless corporation over real people, but figure that'd be a waste.

I'll take over and fix Twitter if the people there finally acknowledge that suggesting that we affix tiiiny little diapers to human face mites is not "hostile conduct" and unlock my account.

Adobe's neural filters are not 'deepfake tools,' they're tools. Blaming the makers of a general purpose tool (of any kind) for specific uses that tool is put to is pretty weak sauce. This simply is not a case of someone making a tool specifically designed for a nefarious purpose, and CEO's assertion is essentially correct.

Astronomical observations don't always need to be reported as "mysterious," tbh.

I'll stay with Windows 7 for a while longer. But I won't be installing Windows 10 willingly, if ever.

Microsoft: "We let you choose how much spying we do on your activities!"
Users: "Uh...please don't spy on us at all. Like, none."
Microsoft: "OK, here's some revised settings that don't let you actually turn data collection off! One is called 'Basic'!"
Users: "..."

Not quite as clean a confirmation as one would like: " It would be like if I asked you to believe that by putting a dollar bill in a special laundry machine and spinning it for half an hour with some special detergent the dollar turns into a $1000 note. You are allowed to watch the machine as it does its work, but it is me who opens it and extracts the bill when it has finished its magic conversion. I doubt you would buy it."

If it sounds too good to be true...

> 1300 times as massive.

No. Original paper says ~39 Msun. Radius is ~1300. A star massing 1300 Msun couldn't hold itself together, both in terms of gravitational and outward radiation pressure.

...I don't.

I have five machines ranging from 4 to 12 GB. I also don't keep applications open long enough for "degradation" to play a role; closing an app gives the OS a chance to play memory organizer just as surely as rebooting a machine (sorry *nix fanboys who brag about all of your oh-so-important 'uptime' when rebooting takes, at worst, a few minutes) gives it a fresh pallette.

I don't CARE about memory usage. Just isn't on my radar, anywhere.

Not that difficut to find:

Keep in mind that ANY generation of energy releases, in the end, heat.
