You're confusing incitement and provocation.

Incitement involves actively encouraging action.

"you're bad at hockey and your mother is large" might be provocation

"It is time for us to take up arms against the enemy" is incitement

I did post this before reading the article, the entire premise of the (CEOs quoted in the) article is "AI more productive therefore less work required" which only shows that the several CEOs mentioned including Bill fucking Gates are all deeply and inexcusably ignorant of labour or even economic history.

Productivity has more than doubled since the 5 day workweek was introduced ^1^. We could have that right now. At least a four day work week has been proven to be more productive in multiple studies.

So what can AI do that hasn't already been done?

Glad they were responsive, I'm used to customer support lines just pussyfooting around.

Hopefully they weren't just trying to prevent you caterwauling

I wonder if the old fan failed due to tin whiskers?

I'll see myself out

What distro choices could actually affect how well a game works across Linux setups? The only one i can think of is maybe sound API with Pulse Compatible vs ALSA only (now very rare) vs JACK only.

Graphics APIs are uniform (Vulkan or OpenGL). Networking APIs have been uniform for decades. Controller API had a brief disruption in the joystick API vs Event API which I believe has very much resolved in favour of the latter.

What am I missing? /gen

If Australia can remove people from its jurisdiction whenever a court decision becomes politically inconvenient, then the very idea of the rule of law is weakened. The High Court has already ruled that indefinite detention is unlawful. Offshore exile, purchased with billions, is little more than an attempt to sidestep that ruling while pretending compliance.

Apitor, and the app was Apitor Kit

 

There is an ongoing trend in the industry to move people away from username and password towards passkeys. The intentions here are good, and I would assume that this has a significant net benefit for the average consumer. At the same time, the underlying standard has some peculiarities. These enable behaviors by large corporations, employers, and governments that are worth thinking about.

"Free Range" is regulated, but the threshold is unusually low compared to other countries.

Pastured or pasture raised is a much stronger standard but as far as i can tell not legally protected.

Only passengers flying with Qantas from Auckland or Queenstown in New Zealand are eligible and must complete a declaration digitally before they fly.

On landing in Sydney, they get a digital pass with a QR code for inspection by border and biosecurity officers.

The trial is operated through the Qantas app.

 

Ring founder Jamie Siminoff is back at the helm of the surveillance doorbell company, and with him is the surveillance-first-privacy-last approach that made Ring one of the most maligned tech devices. Not only is the company reintroducing new versions of old features which would allow police to request footage directly from Ring users, it is also introducing a new feature that would allow police to request live-stream access to people’s home security devices.
