"minced" would never be used in such fiction.

Because a VM will still be running the AI components?

Why would you care?

For all the same reasons you don’t want data leaking from a native OS running on bare metal? Not sure where you are going with this.

You can't link your government ID to your social media account. The legislation doesn't allow social media companies to gather this data. It's specifically not allowed.

In other words: this legislation is useless, and entirely stupid, and kids will bypass it trivially. Teenagers are exceptionally good at bypassing that which they find stupid, or gets in their way of what they consider to be fun, or a right.


It doesn’t have to be impossible to bypass. It just has to create friction so less and less kids end up on social media over time.

How much friction isn’t going to create then?

There will be next to no friction.

Can it open Quattro Pro files?

Install LibreOffice.

I used Scribus. Top choice for replacing Publisher by open source software. Scribus is very intuitive and with enough time I could churn out a beautiful looking effective resume on my first try

Not the same feature set at all. And doesn't LibreOffice still have decade+ long issues on anything that isn't strictly word processing?

You can still open them. More than I can say for Office.

They got into major shit in Australia for their way of increasing prices.

My favorite reaction to today’s news is this one-liner from a guy on Twitter/X: “The average IQ of both companies has increased.”

My friend, that was NZ prime minister Robert Muldoon who was quoted as saying “every time a New Zealander emigrates to sun themselves on the beaches of Bondi, the average IQ of both countries increases.”




There is also the “Fuck off support ticket”. I got this from FreshService - they changed the way they did loan requests in such a way that you could loan out one item twice with the status of delivered on both requests. So then you have two people who have been delivered the same item, which is clearly impossible.

Anyway, after arguing with them from for months, they acknowledge it as a bug. I wait for it to be fixed, months roll away. Then they tell me it has been lodged as an “enhancement request”.

Don’t deal with FreshService. Needless to say, we are soon to be leaving them.


Do you have a list of such managers?


Be careful, the grass is greener in other countries, but not perfect. I feel sorry if you live in the U.S.


As a fellow American said: "I don't think about you at all."


That's kind of the point... and hardly surprising, you don't think at all.


Come on now, this sort of stuff breaks the rules of this site.
