You should parameterize that query before Little Bobby enrolls.

the disinfecting agent that I use is called “pinho sol”, but I have no idea if it’s sold outside Brazil

The US has it, it’s called pine-sol… pinho == pine lol.

So I should apply for a 2nd mortgage to get that ball rolling?

I would think it’s “of the 65 proposals, at least one includes conscription as part of its plan”.

Meaning, two things:

1. I think the submitted proposals are likely multifaceted, and conscription is but one potential facet

2. I bet more than one proposal also employs conscription

I wonder if any reports will ever be publicly published about these proposals.

At least he’s not threatening to shoot any archdukes… yet.

radioactive materials embedded in coal going out into the environment

They should put it beyond the environment.

I believe it’s this.

Let’s put another shrimp on the barbie!

Reminds me of a joke about a hooker…

That hair is going to be such a pigeon poop magnet, yikes.

It’s a good thing it’s not portrayed looking up, or it would be soooo much worse.

That’s what I’m talking about. I just picked up a dell optiplex micro for about $100 on ebay.

Can’t wait to see what the corps dump onto the market post-win11 apocalypse!

Because he’s a narcissist that thought he could talk his way out anything. He obviously thought wrong, but I’m willing to bet he still thinks it’s everyone else that’s wrong.

design their own product from scratch

I think you’re right, even regardless of the license involved. One of my profs in school had told us nothing is stopping anyone from writing a whole new Microsoft Word, feature for feature, button for button the same. And in fact, look at Libre Office - a MS Word clone.

The missteps to avoid when creating a whole new clone are:

0. Don’t rip off actual implementation code from the original and put it in your own product (this is a bigger concern w/ OSS since anyone can rip of pieces without giving credit)

1. Avoid confusing users that your clone is somehow an extension/iteration of the original (e.g. ripping off branding, or sound-alike names)

have it’s own network and just a simple plugin that can communicate with the fediverse

Mastodon uses the ActivityPub protocol, which is an opensource API. The US supreme court has ruled that implementing an API is fair use, copyrights do not come into play here.

So I think the only recourse for avoiding Meta and it’s Thread foray, is defederating it on a per instance basis.

I fear this might turn real ugly, similar to how Google got in the browser game, dominated, and is now doing evil and shitty things like manifest v3 and WEI.

similar to the GPL license

It’s already AGPL, which indeed is, similar to GPL lol.

From the worldcoin wiki:

Worldcoin hopes to provide a reliable way to authenticate humans online called World ID,[18] to counter bots and fake virtual identities facilitated by artificial intelligence.

Fucking glorified DRM?! No wonder he got fired, he’s the face of OpenAI and peddling this shit on the side. I can’t take this ass clown seriously ever again.

I haven’t found a way to get that screen space back.

uBlock Origin’s element picker is probably what you’re looking for. Install the addon, click the uo icon, towards the bottom click the eye dropper icon, select the element on the page you want gone, then click create the button. So long as the underlying name of the element doesn’t change, you should be all set!

I feel fuckin dirty even reading that last paragraph. It’s so detached from any sane reality.

AWS S3 would be about $3.2k/month, or do Glacier for about $250. I doubt any individual alone is touching 250TB worth of files, so deep freeze seems like a good option. Then mirror into a different region for 2x the price and peace of mind.

I went to a certain military training school with some linguists, and they told me they had face-to-face proficiency tests like quarterly.

The tests would start with normal benign conversational topics, like one would expect, but then escalate to weirdness from there.

Things like “Are you more worried about the recent nuclear-waste-being-found-in-kayaks issue, or the ongoing chihuahuas-shitting-out-whole-uncured-meat-products problem?”. The point was to see if the linguist could piece together information from non-standard esoteric shit.

Those 615 giraffes look like they’d fit right into such a test.

Out of curiosity, do you (or anyone else reading this) have a screencap of the “third-party AI transparency banner” that the dropbox rep said is shown when using the functionality in question?

I did a quick ddg search for it, but couldn’t find an example. I’d like to reserve judgement till I see the full verbiage of what is/was shown.
