The point is to absolve the human behind the arrest from responsibility. “The system” gets to do the decision making, then the human can’t be responsible for making a mistake and arresting the wrong person.

You seem to be mistaken https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheddar_cheese

that even true American cheese sometimes has a fake looking yellow/orange color to it

I recently learned this is true of cheddar cheese too, they add annatto to it for coloring.

Meh IMO a country created out of the ashes of the Papal States with the same power structures is functionally the same country. But you are correct, Vatican City has not fought any wars after signing the deal with Mussolini that officially ended the Papal States.

Not sure what you’re talking about, I was not saying the Papal States were influencing other countries to fight, they were doing the fighting. The Pope was the head of state, sure they have a new name now, but the power structures and traditions have a straight line between the Papal States and current day Vatican City.

You sure about including the Vatican in that list? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papal_States

Now include the compute used to train the AI models you were using.

Also, I’m not sure “Ai is actually not as bad as the worst polluter in most people’s daily life” isn’t a great point. We are adding a new “appliance” to every household that is almost as energy intensive as a car?!?

The bare minimum would look something like https://employment-social-affairs.ec.europa.eu/policies-and-activities/rights-work/labour-law/employee-involvement/collective-redundancies_en

Is it childish to think that companies that are profitable should not be able to get rid of their employees for no reason?

I hope someone points that out to you next time you lose your job. Your lack of empathy is gross

you have the emotional capacity of a CEO.

It’s funnier now than it was when it happened

Not the person you replied to, but I’ve had 2 kobos and didn’t have a problem with either. (The screen on the first one broke, but that was my fault for dropping a book on it. I might have been able to fix it if they had this ifixit deal back then)

They haven’t made side loading harder as long as I’ve been using kobo, I only use their software to launch koreader.

Comments like these are super strange to me… Are you suggesting people should go with a different brand, why not mention one specifically? As it reads you won’t like any ereader that is owned by a corporation?

I guess you’re going to be building an open source ereader and release it for free so it can’t be enshitified?

I hope someone asks you that next time you lose your job. It’s only 8,000 people who’s lives have been turned upsidedown, you have the emotional capacity of a CEO.

What?

Going through OPs post history is certainly interesting

The company’s whose current safeguards are “please write secure code” will have to improve those safeguards? I’m shocked, absolutely shocked

So Sunday is going to be the holy day, and December 25th is going to be a festival, are you sure that there wasn’t any plagiarism going on? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sol_Invictus
