If he did, he likely did that before it was possible to create photorealistic digital clones. Then it's an interesting question about how US contract law works: are you able to agree on something that is not possible at the time of signing?

Surely, if the contract would contain some explicit clause about that. But if it just said some like "we can do anything we want with the video material", then it's probably less clear.

Do what are the symbols of progress here? The woman in the center seems to be commenting on the progress rather than depicting the progress itself, she she seems to be loving it.

For actual symbols, we have planes, skyscrapers, a fort, a chemist, the world and an engineer.

I can see how all these depict progress, but the fort seems to be overly racist. I can only understand this as the conquest against the native Americans which is depicted positively here. But I guess that's just how people thought back then.

People say that everything before becoming a parent yourself is just extended childhood. Can partially confirm. If the kid is with someone else, you can also be a child again.

I always carry a USB stick in my backpack in case I need to install Linux.

Free meals a whole season? Why not just move next to it and never have to worry about cooking ever again?

Arguably, an unborn baby cannot be guilty of anything. But an adult sentenced to death is often guilty of some horrible crime. So if you accept killing as a punishment, there is no contradiction.

Well, let's say I haven't figured out how to block whole instances, or maybe it was not possible when I made my first Lemmy account. But on the anime instances there is like a new community every week or so.

True. On lemmy I have a long blocklist full of anime stuff.

Why is there a toilet in the gaming room and in the living room in the first two pictures?

It would be even more American with AR-15s, wouldn't it? Why didn't it go there yet?

If you only look at how long it takes until the food is out again, and don't care where it comes out of, then yes.

Sounds reasonable.

Microsoft employee:

Hi, This is a high priority ticket and the FFmpeg version is currently used in a highly visible product in Microsoft. We have customers experience issues with Caption during Teams Live Event. Please help

Maintainer's comment on twitter:

After politely requesting a support contract from Microsoft for long term maintenance, they offered a one-time payment of a few thousand dollars instead.

This is unacceptable.

And further:

The lesson from the xz fiasco is that investments in maintenance and sustainability are unsexy and probably won't get a middle manager their promotion but pay off a thousandfold over many years.

But try selling that to a bean counter

 
 

Hi,

I have a mastodon account and would like to follow some newspapers with that. I just did, but the newspapers are posting so much that my whole timeline is just spammed with their posts. Often also stuff I am not interested in.

Is anyone else here following newspapers on mastodon? How are you handling the spam?

 

Thanks for making sync, and for the new fresh inbox view!

The old inbox had vote buttons on the comments. That was really useful. Could these be added to the new view as well?

 

Besides putting too many devices on a single wall socket, that draw too much power, what is supposed to happen?

Like say I chain ten dividers and put a single vacuum cleaner at the end. Is that more dangerous than plugging it directly into the wall?

The alarmism around AI is just a marketing spin.

As @pluralistic@mamot.fr wrote: that's "mystical nonsense about spontaneous consciousness arising from applied statistics".

Real problems we face with AI are:

Ghost labor, erosion of the rights of artists, costs of automation, the climate impact of data-centers and the human impact of biased, opaque, incompetent and unfit algorithmic systems.
