Okay so what, you hate elephants? You think they're ugly and gross? How could you? I thought you were better than this... smh... ๐

Okay, this could be a source of dysphoria, but hear me out. Elephant-themed bottoms with a trunk out the front.
Super cute, no unsightly bulge, maintains other lines, and it can flap around adorably. Win win win win.
I'll accept a billion dollars and the First Annual Trans Ally of the Year Award. Thank you, thank you.
Public key authentication is more secure than nothing, and is more convenient than shared secrets and symmetric encryption, but bit for bit the secret material necessary for public key cryptographic schemes to be secure is more data than is required for symmetric algorithms.
But more to your point, public key cryptography is basically a usability nightmare. In order to talk to anyone you need to first validate their key using an entirely out of band scheme you already trust, and if you don't do that then all the end to end encryption in the world is theatre.
Of course I'm being hyperbolic, it's the internet, but seriously there a lot of people feeling secure with public key systems that are either totally insecure, or could be insecure and they wouldn't know, or are secure to some random bystander but insecure to people and organizations that are often included in people's threat models.
It's not hypocracy. They know time off is great. They know medical care is great. They know it's great to be housed and fed and not worried about a single paycheck being late ruining your entire life. Their philosophy is not that these things are unnecessary.
Their philosophy is that there are people who deserve these nice things, namely them and people like them, and that other people deserve to suffer. And that every nice thing they get that other people don't, further separates them from the people they don't like.
Some people who believe these things may actually truly believe that the carrot of a better life ahead if you, and the sticks of poverty behind you, might motivate you to innovate or improve yourself in some way. Some of them might believe that the suffering is important, because without it no one would ever do anything.
But I think a lot of them don't even think that. They just like having things other people want.
I do wonder if they plan to draw a line somewhere in "how AI" the image needs to be. Like, if it's a raw photo, that's fine. If it's enhanced by filters or something, probably not AI fair to say.
But what about the, like, magic eraser and infilling? If I use a tool to erase a bunch of people from a bridge and draw new parts of bridge that weren't in the original photo... is that AI?
If I use AI to pull a mask and cut someone out from the background, and then put them overtop of a stock background, that uses AI to do work I could have done by hand. Probably fine. But what if I use AI to paint a new background that didn't exist before this photo. Is that AI?
If I take a picture of me in a real place, doing a real thing, and then use AI infill to paint a different face onto my face so it's not me anymore, but the rest of the photo including my body is real, is it AI because that person doesn't exist?
I just feel like if you've seen one comic about a dolphin tearing through someone's asshole and falling in love with a woman only to be cuckolded by her dog, you've seen them all...
I remember when art was creative, unique, and surprising...

Maybe I'm focusing on the wrong part but... a thousand dollars in damages? I know a lot of people in the states can't rub two dimes together, but a thousand dollars is like... nothing. Especially for the government and not some guy working two jobs.
They're claiming he should go to jail for 10 years for maybe causing a thousand dollars of damage to public property? I bet a single church could put together a bake sale one time and raise a thousand dollars.
Obviously if the tables were flipped, and some guy was out there breaking drinking fountains and cutting down trees in a park I'd be pissed... but this doesn't even feel like an interesting lie!

To be fair, my example was illustrative. The equivalent would simply be:
3 5 8 + 2 * 17 36 9 / - + +
3
3 5
3 5 8
3 5 8 +
3 13
3 13 2
3 13 2 *
3 26
3 26 17
3 26 17 36
3 26 17 36 9
3 26 17 36 9 /
3 26 17 4
3 26 17 4 -
3 26 13
3 26 13 +
3 39
3 39 +
42
Or
3 + (((5 + 8) * 2) + (17 - (36 / 9)))





Well actually that's a bit more complicated. Some English accents will pronounce the "h" and it'll sound like, well, "herb", but other accents treat it as silent and it sounds like "erb".
I'm going to guess this author and/or style-guide pronounces it "an erb"
