The example where an interview of a victim of Hurricane Ciaran, originally in French, was deepfaked to be speaking English, was pretty scary. Some people will think that it’s just for convenience, but for me, it’s a step too far down the slippery slope. If they were to do the same for a politician, a slight nuance in how a phrase was translated could change everything.
Since Italians take the authenticity of foods so seriously, Prosciutto di Parma and many other foods are already protected by DOP designation.
Once you accept venture capital, you’re pretty much down the path to going public, because the investors have an expectation of realizing their gains if the company is successful.
Bernie Madoff cornered the market for Swiss Miss hot chocolate while in prison.
It’s just the scented baby wipes that you’re smelling. (At least it’s cheaper than the Dior stuff.)
Three days later, on November 20, the Seko union, which represents postal workers, will stop delivering letters, spare parts, and pallets to all of Tesla’s addresses in Sweden. “Tesla is trying to gain competitive advantages by giving the workers worse wages and conditions than they would have with a collective agreement,” said Seko’s union president, Gabriella Lavecchia, in a statement. “It is of course completely unacceptable.”
Interesting that it is legal to withhold mail. In many countries that would be a crime.
I wish people would just call it X. If that’s what Elon wants, let him reap the consequences of his crazy decisions.
It’s so prone to cracking along the fold, though. You should either get the extended warranty or treat the phone as disposable, because it will likely not last more than a couple of years.
Sure, unless the username+suffix is already taken.
All the personal information you mentioned should be hashed or encrypted. For any given phone number, see how little information they have: just an account creation timestamp and a last access timestamp.
In the current Staging implementation, you pick a username (which you can change), and the app picks a two-digit suffix to your username.
Completely private messaging with accounts that have no ties to real-world identities would open the doors to spam and all kinds of abuse.
No. You still need to use a phone number to create an account. The proposed feature lets you pick a username so that you can have people contact you via the username, and you won’t have to tell people what your phone number is. You would be able to change your username at any time, and usernames all have a random two-digit number suffix.
What if a compile job takes a long time? Would that be a good reason to context switch?
According to this article, gnome-shell --replace no longer works starting with GNOME Shell 3.30.
No, It’s called X now. Elon willed it so, and I’m happy to oblige. Posts are called X-cretions (or X-crement, if they are shitposts).
Mozilla is in the process of implementing passkeys in Firefox. This page tracks the status of various implementations of passkeys.
What a pathetic excuse. You know what’s at the other end of a USB-A cable? A USB-B connector that didn’t have the symmetry problem. Also, Firewire existed around the same time (in fact, slightly earlier) and didn’t have the symmetry problem.
There’s zero chance that Google / YouTube don’t already know about the Vinegar Safari extension for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.
In aviation, an intentional accident is still an accident. A suicidal pilot can deliberately crash an airplane, and it’s still considered an accident.
