Average for Europeans at the time.

Occasionally break out the burner, it’s just very rare. Plus these days it’s a portable little usb drive.

They added sidebar tabs with this stuff too, doesn’t do a full tree structure and it needs some other work though.

Explicitly lefty publisher, but the ebooks are DRM free and they include them for free alongside any physical purchases. (They do tag the ebooks with your name and email though.)

I’m pretty sure this is who they’re sourcing for the claim retracting it, but it’s been telephoned a fair bit: https://x.com/tshugart3/status/1813332364761968959

People are complaining that an advanced fill tool that’s mostly used to remove a smudge or something is automatically marking a full image as an AI creation. As-is if someone actually wants to bypass this “check” all they have to do is strip the image’s metadata before uploading it.

CSIS like most of our “think tanks” is also a barely disguised lobbying group that pretends to be something more.

Chatbots passed the Turing test ages ago, it’s not a good test.

Context onwhat the “doxxing” actually entailed and why it happened.

What was shared was a leaked chat transcript demonstrating the coordinated efforts of many working to silence support for Palestinian liberation.

The transcript clearly demonstrates collective actions taken to contact employers, funding bodies, publishers and journalists to censure anyone deemed to be a threat to zionist ideology. Some of these efforts were successful, the firing of Antoinette Lattouf being but one example.

This is ass backwards. UNRWA immediately fired the accused employees solely because they were worried about the potential ramifications and figured it wasn’t something worth fighting. They had and have seen zero actual evidence to back it up. Meanwhile, half the west stupidly took this as evidence that the allegations were true and pulled their future funding, while they too have seen zero actual evidence to back up Israel’s claims.

That’s literally what concentration camps are. Points where you “concentrate” a population you’re trying to control.

Outright murdering the people you have in them was a Nazi death camp thing, but the Brits were probably most famous for using them before that while attempting to suppress colonial rebellion.

It can also be used as a form of semi-covert harassment. For example, in an early instance, every bit of content posted by or in support of transgender people would get hit by a barrage of downvotes from brigaders using otherwise inactive accounts. Hard to moderate that without just disabling downvotes entirely.

They also originally thought they’d have it update in real time which was a bit of a mistake. When you’re running a small test instance it’s kinda neat if comments and posts pop up as they’re made, but the reality of that is a scroll jacking nightmare.
