Can I have it? I’d never buy one but I use Spotify constantly in my cab. It’d be nice to have it not attached to my phone.

We spent the five years training the model. Manually. With Captcha data.

Now we’re teaching it not to run traffic signals, hit motorcycles or busses, or try to drive up stairs.

Can you articulate why?

Uhh, don’t think it’s the propaganda that’s perpetuating the war. That’d be the invasion.

Found the Russian sympathizer though.

I’ve more paid attention to Ukranians’ accounts of events than major media coverage. Lots of pictures of really old tanks being dragged away by farm equipment and other extremely dated supplies being found. If this is anyone’s propaganda it’s Ukraine’s, in which case I’m happy to participate.

Nobody said it hasn’t been hellish for Ukraine, or that it hasn’t been a hard fight. Even if they were equipped with entirely WW2-era supplies, an invasion is an invasion, and by all accounts this has been a particularly cruel and brutal invasion.

I really don’t care at all about being fair to Russian engineers at the moment.

Seems like EA doesn’t want to make games anymore. Folks should oblige them.

I don’t think most countries are using first aid kits from the 70s.

Took me a second to realize this isn’t about elephants.

Is that like a robot infant Arnold?

Why do you expect the Russian space program to be using new equipment after the antique show of an invasion in Ukraine?

Right, but this is fundamentally at odds with the ‘Linux for everyone’, ‘Linux for gaming’, and ‘Linux can replace Windows for most use cases’ rhetoric.

If you enjoy Linux for its own sake and you like fiddling around with it and learning its ins and outs, it’s fantastic. But if you just want the OS to get out of the way so you can get back to what your were doing, it leaves some room for improvement.

We can’t have both, and that’s fine. There’s also an argument to be made for people getting used to dealing with a command line because it’s something of a prerequisite for getting away from increasingly shady corporate overreach. But that doesn’t help me when the solution to getting my extra mouse buttons and precision mode is to create a well documented bug report for Solaar and then wait. I just want my push to talk to work, you know?

That gap is definitely shrinking as time goes on, but it’s still an obstacle and it’ll always be part of the conversation around GNU until it’s no longer a concern for one reason or another.

I’ve begun blocking their communities in my accounts and I plan to defederate from them when i get home. Fuck em. Place is infested with exploding heads anyway.

It was!

Nice, where do I get my $5k?

I had some little grey box of an mp3 player in the late 90s that held like roughly one or two smallish albums. I remember one day finding a recording of my gym teacher trying to figure out how it worked for like five minutes after unknowingly pushing the record button.

I dream of this kind of storage. I just added a second m.2 with a couple of TB on it and the space is lovely but I can already see I’ll fill it sooner than I’d like.

I found that it does well with actual full on spam in the form of unsolicited mass mails. If there’s anything I’ve subscribed to, it does just dump it into the inbox until I tell it to do otherwise. So mostly decent. I feel like it might be benefiting from their spam sorting but not from the promotional tag.

I forwarded all my gmail addresses to proton recently. I’m very pleased! It works a lot better than gmail-to-gmail forwarding and the UI is purple! Purple!!

One could say the same of the ambient air in much of Canada lately, but I don’t think pouring ink on the trees would better the situation.

There’s no way the ink doesn’t make them even worse. I’ve always loved Canada’s over the top approach to visually discouraging smoking by hijacking half the pack with a picture. My favorite when I smoked cigarettes was the one with the kids giving you a judgemental look.

Given the numbers in this article, though, I’m not sure how well it’s working.
