Nothing different from here on, but it’s not like everyone needs it. Given it acts as a 2nd authentication factor for a lot of services, given that it can be part of an overall data profile for you that gets sold to scammers, it’s worth not slinging out to everyone who asks.

Sure, what’s done is done. My suggestion is just, when presented with the option, don’t.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we fired everybody who could do that.

I would prefer they didn’t do this, but I understand. Storage isn’t without cost. 5 GB is a lot for email actually. It’s probably intended to reduce abuse from bots. We should probably not be using free email anyway.

Don’t be so casual about passing your phone number out. The correct response is “5 GB is plenty for email. It’s probably just to reduce abuse from bots. What’s the big deal?”

An already terrible company treats you terribly? Make the transition rough. Delete old notes, write bugs in scripts, delete admin accounts. Think about what makes your job work, what makes the work work, and figure out what the equivalent of monkey wrenching is for the digital age. Don’t let the bastards get you down.

I could care less that he removed inclusion, if that was all it was. But it got replaced by “innovation”, which coming from a guy who proudly lists his private capital ventures sounds like a dog whistle for figuring out how to fuck over customers.

Bad portents all around.

It’s just websites. I’m not downloading your shitty app to look at your website. That’s what a browser is for.

But at least when I have to write a professional sounding email I can shut off my brain and make the computer cluster do it!

DHS shouldn’t

To them it’s more trouble to actually double check or review hits then to just give people a blanket ban if they might could possibly be shoplifters.

Hey lookie here, the statistical pattern matching algorithm has some uses that could help society maybe possibly. Sure beats replacing artists or building inefficient chat bots that give people the Eliza effect.

But that doesn’t fix this. If someone actually from Utah uses a non-Utah IP to access data in a manner not approved by Utah, they can be held liable. The only way to get around this is, aside from the law being struck down, is for companies out to operate outside the legal reach of the state of Utah, or to act as if everyone in the world lives in Utah. It’s a really bad law.

Funny how even the things “AI” is okay at (pattern matching within a certain margin of error) still can’t be used properly.

That was over a month ago. A lot has changed in that time. Ubuntu is not associated with the UK military or even government.

Amazon does support the US government and other governments through the provision of their web services.

For all its problems I don’t believe Iran is an irrational actor.

Except for the mandatory age verification it doesn’t seem bad at all. “Except for” is doing a heavy lift there however.

For most popular distros most stuff works out of the gate. It’s been a long time since I’ve had to wrestle with anything vexing.

I kinda assume the hacker group link is fake. Ubuntu is British, but Microsoft contracts with the US DoD. It doesn’t make sense, unless it’s just easy money. I don’t quite buy it.

It can barf out large outputs fast. As long as you review it and clean it up, it can get you 90% of the way there on a lot of things where you know what the final output should be basically. Need a quick bit of code for a common process? An email requesting a meeting? A picture of a dog burying a bone? A list of which people might be the suspect in the video? Then AI is great!

Need math? Accurate texts or image matching? Use a different tool.

Behold, the fruits of AI: pretext for biometric surveillance.

At least Kroger has a union to be hostile to!
