When YouTube does this it means that they tacitly endorse the behaviour of everyone who is currently monetised at the moment. I’m sure it would be easy to find many monetised channels with similar allegations as well as people who have actually been convicted of crimes.

Edit: for example, someone like Chris Brown is convicted of domestic abuse as well as accused of many other incidents. He appears to be monetised on youtube.

>If a creator's off-platform behaviour harms our users, employees or ecosystem, we take action.

So why does this apply to Russell Brand but not to Chris Brown who is convicted of violence against another YouTube user? It must mean that youtuber endorses the behaviour and criminal activity of Chris Brown.

Needing a licence to create or possess models is what they’re planning here right? It obviously makes sense for openai and other big companies because it makes it more difficult for smaller competitors but it is really scary. It is probably way more dangerous for society than some theoretical artificial super intelligence because of opportunity cost and that it would certainly lead to more and more authoritarianism.

I don't really understand the backlash to this term. Is it really so crazy that learning how to use these tools effectively has become a thing?

I don't think it should be censored here but it is a sexist term. It is never used in a positive way. The publishing industry is female dominated. Imagine that during the recent coverage of their attempts to censor old books, people referred the individuals responsible as "pub maids" or something like that. I don't think it would be quite as accepted.

Even for young people who had already had a covid infection?

I think the frustrating thing for me is that the extreme reaction to his actions are really about his politics. I have no doubt that he would be being praised for saving Twitter instead of ridiculed for ‘destroying’ it if he had been toeing the party line.

Weren’t they spending almost half a billion a year on r&d?

I think changing the verification badge into something actually useful instead of a status symbol is a good thing. If there is a great exodus of Twitter influencers and it starts to affect traffic, then twitter can just add some kind of notability mark to high profile accounts.

Edit: They already plan to add a tag for public figures.

For me, a big part of Wordle’s success was its share text. It shows exactly how you played the game without giving away the puzzle. It also gives a really simple score x/6 which allows you to brag easily supporting your number 3. I also like that there is no link embedded.

I have never understood the chemical imbalance theory anyway. Surely there needs to be a cause of a chemical imbalance like an auto-immune illness or something. Why hasn’t the focus been on the cause?

If your ft4 is very high or you have low levels of hgh, there is a cause. What theories to they have for these issues with serotonin?

We’ve been having some extreme load shedding in South Africa for the past few weeks. It has been an ongoing problem since 2007 or 2008 but has been particularly bad this year.

We’re just coming out of a stretch of having the power off 3 times a day (either for 2.5 or occasionally 4.5 hours at a time.) I am relieved that the power is only going off once for two and a half hours tonight now that things have calmed down a bit. It has been stressful.

Unity’s global menu system was wonderful and once getting used to how well it used vertical space switching to gnome was like going back 10 years. Seeing multiple empty bars across the screen makes it completely unusable to me not to mention their need to replace simple menus with seemingly random icons scattered everywhere. I’m using kde plasma now with a global menu set up. It’s good but isn’t as hassle free as Unity was.

I’m really sad that canonical abandoned Unity. It was so easy to use and was really easy to recommend to people. I think it was a case of an extremely loud minority who weren’t even using it that contributed to canonical abandoning it.

Arguing for equality is being a good person, arguing for equity instead of equality is wokeism.

I don’t know why tesla didn’t name autopilot copilot and full self driving autopilot. I guess in reality a copilot is much more sophisticated than an autopilot (because it’s a person) but I think it works much better with how those words are used colloquially. Look at GitHub copilot.

Most of the posts here with “dies” in the title are about public figures who have died. If you are used to those and are scanning through the posts it is easy to read “dies” in that context first and then the rest of the sentence.

Would this be its speed relative to the moon?

But he would have had the opportunity to manage the payment himself whether that be not accepting credits cards, using a payment processor with charge back insurance or at the very least trying to verify that the credit card actually belongs to the client. As far as I know he can't do any of these things because the client isn't paying him, they are paying upwork and upwork is paying him.

>The customer paid Upwork using someone else's card, he didn't pay the freelancer. So the party that got duped is Upwork.

For me that is the key here. Upwork is the one accepting payment so it's their responsibility to verify that payment. It's actually impossible for the freelancer to do that.

Maybe not Firefox itself but Mozilla’s “We need more than deplatforming” blog post burnt a lot of good will towards them. I think that kind of censorial ethos is at odds with the majority of people who would specifically choose firefox over chrome.

Strong feeling of impending doom

A horrible list highlighting how disconnected mainstream video game journalists are from people who actually play video games.
