Perfectly logical for them, since Republicans aren’t the right people to be shooting at.

This is the same service whose car Mike Pence wouldn’t enter on Jan 6th because he suspected they were Trump loyalists.

No, it will get them to support preemptively shooting those in the out-group.

From there the messages said to have been sent from Howell become increasingly dark, lecturing the crew on beastiality and how it’s a “weird sin,” calling them perverts," and then telling vio “you won’t be able to wear a furry tiger costume when you’re getting pounded in the ass in the federal prison I put you in next year.”

Overall, not a good look for an organization touting Christian value

Conservatives and especially conservative Christians have some very particular obsessions.

Thanks. Russia has certainly helped undermine the UK, which has UHC. There was Russian funding involved in Brexit campaigns, some of the UK’s right-wing populists (e.g. Nigel Farage) have apparent Russian connections and support, and Russian social media campaigns support the far right in election campaigns. Brexit was certainly a blow to the country.

How do you know you never had malware if you have no means to check for malware? It’s not like it will announce itself.

The article states that the EU is objecting to a couple of particular things:

The EU said X’s blue checks policy was deceiving and had been abused by malicious actors. The checks were initially created as as way to verify users like government officials, public figures and journalists, in efforts to limit misinformation, but Musk changed that policy, allowing users to buy blue check accounts. The new policy has been abused by fraudsters to impersonate U.S. politician Hillary Clinton and author J.K. Rowling, among many other celebrities.

The platform also didn’t respect an obligation to provide a searchable and reliable advertisement repository and limited access to its public data to researchers, the Commission said.

This is not some amorphous campaign against disinformation, it’s a challenge to two specific policies of X.

Sorry, what does UHC mean?

Going after platforms for the speech of their users,

The EU is going after X for selling blue check marks while marketing them as a sign of trustworthiness. They claim this is misleading. They’re not going after X for anything the users said.

It sounds like these CPUs may be degenerating with use, so some can start out good and then turn bad after a few months. You’d never be sure whether you had a good one or just a bad one that hadn’t revealed itself yet.

Art is not just a production, it is a form of communication, between artist and audience, even if you never see them.

Not just that: art is a way of enriching how we experience our being in the world, for both artist and audience. It expresses aspects of lived experience that are not obvious but run deep in making us what we are, and it helps us realize ways of understanding life that we cannot otherwise access. It’s communication not just between artist and audience but also between ourselves and our world. If we lump it all under the ugly category of “content” and hand its production over to machines, artists can no longer survive while practising their art, human insight suffers, and we are all impoverished.

Fast and bulbous.

No need. Israel is fine with simply murdering journalists.

Take your one size fits all approach and shove it up your privileged ass.

You make a reasonable point then torpedo any potential for upvotes in that last sentence.

British police said Wednesday that they had arrested a 26-year-old male suspected of killing three women in the northwestern London suburb of Bushey a day prior.

The Democrats still seem to think you can fight fascists by pointing out that they’re being naughty and impolite.

The Copilot in Windows and in Bing is quite bad, but the Github Copilot seems better. If you know of a clearly better one for programming I’m interested in trying things out.

So was Nazism.

I’d suggest Canada needs to start offering political asylum but Canada’s about to elect an ally of these fascists. These are worrying times.

Opt-in is an improvement, but Microsoft does have a history of making nominally opt-in features practically very difficult to avoid.
