Daily reminder that if a manager can't tell if their employees are effective working from home, that manager is incompetent. There are a million ways to check if someone is actually working, and butt-in-seat isn't one of them.

You can remove the battery, put it in a Faraday cage and charge it turned off (or in another device/out of one). It can be on only when you need it.
Yes, it matters a lot.
You know of authors by name because you read their works under their name. This has allowed them to profit (not necessarily in direct monetary value) and publish more works. Chucking everything into a LLM takes the profit from individual authors and puts them into pockets of gigacorporations.
Not to mention the facts the current generation of LLMs will straight up hallucinate things, sometimes turning the message you're trying to send on its head.
Then there's the question of copyright. I can't pirate a movie, but Facebook can pirate whole libraries, create a LLM and sell it and it's OK? I'd have a lot less of an issue if this was done ethically.
Labor rights have been a raging success. 40 hour work weeks, minimum wage, sick leave, vacation leave (in non-shithole countries).
>BTW, in the US, you are free to set up a company and then pay your workers whatever you want to.
What happens when competition with deeper pockets price dumps you into oblivion? Free market is a free market only when there is competition based on the product, not how rich your investors are.
There is evidence the workers are being exploited everywhere if you bother to spend a second looking. Like the parent said, your apologism of capitalists is disgusting.
Your house losing 100k$ in value isn't going to make you homeless either (quite the opposite actually). If you buy a house and it depreciates, so what?
Not to mention if everyone's house depreciates, your new house is cheaper to buy. You lose _nothing_, except imaginary dollar values.
> Calling people like that speculators shows a severe lack of understanding and empathy.
I don't know what you call preventing young people from buying, or even renting, at affordable prices so 'people like that' don't have a possibility of losing some money, but you sure as fuck don't call it empathy either.
The cc/bank provider already gets an itemized bill, and they get it for everywhere you shop as opposed to a single store (so a superset of this data is already collected). This is in some (most?) cases already shared with stores, and even if it isn't, what can a store do with it the bank/cc provider can't do worse.
I've been using this since at least 2019, it's been fine. The only two issues are the mouse doesn't (always) align when moving across monitors and having a window across the display border has one side stretched, but why would you have windows like that?
2. Forget password -> get email for new password -> input username/new password -> get email otp code.
The only actual security factor here is your [email, email password], everything else is just silly rigamarole.
The intersection of people who will pirate a game at any price and people who will buy a game is an empty set.
I used to pirate everything, no matter the price, now I pirate nothing, no matter the price (except for Metro: Exodus, because it was pulled from Steam for anti-competitive bullshit).
For some definition of works, like a folder with 300 videos loading for 15 seconds and image viewer unable to open 150MB images.
I prefer how Gnome works compared to KDE, but I can't get past the ridiculous performance issues.
Citation needed. You can freely copy and distribute linux and it still got made.
It is crystal clear, the liability and responsibility is on the human behind the wheel. The 'person driving' is some engineer thousands of miles away with no incentive not to crash the vehicle, and that is what scares me.
Every on- and off-ramp provider. EU legislation has basically created a database of real person to wallet mappings (for some subset of wallets). You can't take money from a wallet if you don't know who it belongs to (if you're an exchange anyways). The checks are a bit soft (ie. self attestation and stuff), but the public ledger part of crypto makes tracking far-far easier than with traditional banks.
The end game for this is that people in the West (and whoever they can pressure) won't be able to buy crypto to buy drugs or sell it when selling drugs, making it useless on a big scale.
Because in material design the buttons are intentionally disguised as labels. Material design is the worst thing to happen to design in the last 20 years.
What are the frameworks of usage impossible to follow? People can't release stuff on the apple app store anymore?
Apple did not get away with their (un)implementation of DMA, they got spanked and will continue being spanked until they actually comply. What is the 'max damage' they inflicted?
I use a certain online forum which sometimes makes users wait 60 or 900 seconds before they can post. It has prevented me from making contributions multiple times.
The whole point of this is discussion is that this is going to be used to censor everything, not just 'intimate visual depictions'.
A 'security' consultancy posted an article on LinkedIn on 'critical security vulnerabilities' they found on the web app from a company I worked at. The company hired them to do an assessment. The most critical vulnerability was a bug on a login page preventing registration.
So not only does cold calling work, bad-mouthing on social media seems to be a viable strategy. I'd have blacklisted them.
I am definitely not buying an nVidia GPU ever again.
