The original text had 'he' where 'it' was correct. Which supports part of your premise.

They also merged a change request that changed those instances alongside 'they' instances. I don't know if the original author and denier was involved, but it's certainly important context missing from OP blog post.

the whole point behind it was them making an assumption about something

What makes you think the change suggesters assumed ill intent?

The submitted PRs seem to reason improvement, not accuse the original author. I see them suggesting a change, neutrally. With (minimal) objective reasoning.

/edit: I see the later ones did. But the first one didn't. And the second one arguably didn't.

I'm not surprised unlisted content would show up. A single public or leaked link means unlisted is discoverable elsewhere than the primary listings. YouTube can't solve that. The private alternative setting already exists.

The problem with law solutions is that they only work as far as the law and prosecution reaches. Maybe the western nations will agree on common policies. Like they do on copyright for example. But will China follow? Russia? Smaller countries? Will the prosecution be active or realistically possible?

Laws are important as agreed upon baselines. But they're no technical guarantees. They're quite limited on a public, accessible Internet.

I'd actually like that if it follows good practicses. I feel like the good ones will continue to be good ones anyway, ignoring unification.

Steam Controller.

It's big enough for my long hands. And it has a ton of features and customizability.

What I don't like is the right track pad when games expect a joystick. Depending on the game controls, it can be suboptimal. (configurable to a degree with center deadzone)

If your content doesn't fit on the platforms limit, why not post on a platform intended for or accepting such content?

This form is quite irritating to read.

Microsoft word?

Fonseca died during the trial and was cleared of charges in May.

They cleared them early because they died? Could they still have ruled after death or not? If they could, there must have been enough reason to clear?

IIRC in Germany there's still an active prosecution section working on the cases (and only those). It takes a long time to go through. And we may not hear of what comes of the cases.

Mastodon user posts about rejected change suggestion to neutral pronouns. Many critical comments get posted on the old rejected PR. Someone else creates a PR to fix grammar mistakes, including pronouns, it gets merged.

Did they denounce target children before?

“Temu is designed to make this expansive access undetected, even by sophisticated users,” Griffin’s complaint said. “Once installed, Temu can recompile itself and change properties, including overriding the data privacy settings users believe they have in place.”

So just like the majority USAian app out there?

Which apps do that? Because I am certain it's NOT the majority, and very skeptical about any other apps doing that.

 

Reading the post and comments on Softbank plans to cancel out angry customer voices using AI made me think it could be an interesting topic to chat about.

I think the best support I received was in the chat application and service Slack. A competent, friendly human responds. I had two or three support inquiries with them.

The last issue I had in Slack was when I opened via try icon click my clipboard content was being pasted. I was surprised they were able to identify the issue which was due to a third-party application that had only just released with the issue a day earlier. Slack support was responsive with a first message before the solution, and fast to respond with the second message with the identified cause.

I'm not sure any stand out as particularly awful for me. [Kinda] Bad seems to be the norm. Sometimes bots sit in front of being able to write a message (my bank, I have to write the same inquiry a second time), sometimes the first response is automated or templated, sometimes the first response is automated and immediately but a human will follow up, sometimes you call and can hardly understand them because of accent or even awful intonation. Often you receive incompetent answers that don't respond to your message or issue. Sometimes they're unwilling or incapable of resolution or agreeable conclusions.

 

I stumbled upon their videos and watched three. It's absurd and often hilarious how bad most of the games are.

Jauwn shows us through the games and their gameplay, but also checks further into the mechanisms trying to bait people and the publishers and developers at times linking them to previous scams.

 

Today, we had European elections in Germany.

We have the Wahl-O-Mat, a state-funded service, where you can answer 38 questions, and then match your positions against a selection of or all political parties that could be elected. It then shows you how much overlap (a percentage) you have with the various parties and their answers to those questions.

I find this to be a very important and useful tool for citizen information.
Campaign adverts are shallow and colorful PR. Broad slogans.
Individuals are not necessarily what the broader party policies are and how they vote. Personal sympathy can even be misleading in that a sympathetic person may not hold the values and positions you do.
Voting for a party, I think their program and stances should be the primary decision factor. (Alongside assessment of whether you can trust them of course.)
It obviously and drastically shows you misconceptions about parties and your alignment, and shows you parties relevant to you that you may not have known about before.

Do other countries have something/things like that too? A tool to match personal stance against political parties' stances? [In a concrete and up-to-date way.]

 

I found this article a bit too elaborate and digressive, but it has a lot of content and sourcing.

In one email, Fox adds that there was a “pretty big disconnect between what finance and ads want” and what search was doing.

When Gomes pushed back on the multiple requests for growth

In a WIRED interview from 2021, Steven Levy said Raghavan “isn’t CEO of Google— he just runs the place,” and described his addition to the company as “a move from research to management.”

 

From Forbes and Money content farms, to Google search algorithm changes promoting generic and generated content and big media platforms over specific results, to Google prioritizing ads, overpriced, and other worse results.

 

From the super long title, I expected The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash to be a mediocre standard-production anime, probably isekai, like we have seen numerous in recent times.

But the first episode instantly sets a great atmosphere and tone, substantiated by great visuals, animation, world depth, and story premise. While aspects or focus points change through the journey progression, the production quality never drops.

The "tamer" and picking-up-trash aspects are only a premise and hardly important to what is happening.

It's an adventure, a youthful exploration, stemming from hardships, with discoveries of the world and people. It's slow-paced - it reminded me of Mushishi (beautiful, world-depth, character embedded in world, slow-paced).

It's a great series that I can wholeheartedly recommend.

Have you watched it? What did you think?
