I mean countries have always done that, just not quite this stupid but also often very stupid. People in Japan call their country Nippon, not Japan. People in Germany call their country Deutschland. There's a ton of countries that English just straight up changed the names of for reasons varying from some form of probable racism to misunderstanding that they never bothered resolving.
I'm not defending this move, it's dumb as hell. Just pointing out that "dumb as hell" isn't new.
That's the neat part: Convicted felons ARE excluded from most public service jobs like being a teacher or a mayor. It was widely believed that this included the presidency until the Supreme Court decided it somehow didn't.
This has happened before. GUI tools were going to mean less developers with less cost, but it didn't materialize. Higher level languages were going to cause mass layoffs but it didn't really materialize. Tools like WordPress were going to put web developers out of business, but it didn't really. Sitebuilders like Wix were going to do it, too, but they really haven't.
These tools perform well at the starter end, but terribly at the larger or enterprise end. Current AI is like that. It can help better than I think people on here give it credit for, but it can't replace. At best, it simply produces things with bugs, or that doesn't quite work. At worst, it appears to work but is riddled with problems.
I genuinely believe AI isn't over hyped in the long run. We're going to need solutions to fix our current way of work. But I feel confident it's still further away than the people investing in it think it is, and they're going to be paying big for that mistake.
It was a teenager about two years older who got it from their older brother. Unclear to me if it was shared intentionally or something else. Gross in its own way, perhaps, but not in a grooming way. We met in real life many years later when I happened to be on a work trip near where he lived, had some beers, he showed me around Boston. Nothing untoward happened.
Not my dad, but a friend on IRC gave me a login to a paid hentai site when I was 13. Considering it less bad than regular porn is probably a huge mistake, tbh. I'm not trying to shame anyone for their fetishes or anything, but I would have been perfectly happy with boobs and instead got a bunch of comics with fairies having sex with insects.
I was in a position like this once. The first two or three months were great. TBH, I mostly played video games and cleaned the house. It felt like free money. By the six month mark, I quit to go to something else. It's surprising how mentally draining it is to just do nothing.
I think I took two things away from that experience: One, I think people generally have an innate need to produce something. We don't want to just sit around and entertain ourselves, we want to contribute. Two, I think the 40 hour work week isn't quite the right balance. Maybe 30 would be better.
As a nerd, I don't expect my parental control settings to work forever. They're more there to prevent childish naivete from getting them into trouble, they probably won't stop dedicated teen horniness. And I won't even be mad, figuring out how to get around them requires learning more about how technology works.
You are correct that a reboot will trigger a full rescan. I'm always on the lookout for better sync. I just don't think it's out there right now for easy bidirectional sync.
Basically, if you want to set and forget, Syncthing is the best option. If you want more control, you'll need to look into setting up rsync scripts or similar, which will at least better let you control how often to sync.
Yeah a cis dude might get testosterone if his normal testosterone is low. I assume there's something similar for women. I don't think that's what this guy is talking about though.
Nah, this one has a margin of error. It's just that "take down a large percentage of all computers in the world simultaneously" is quite a bit outside of that margin for a security software.
I'm so sorry to have to be the one to tell you but, based on your positions, you're absolutely the crazy uncle. And I wouldn't be surprised if you were drunk when you watched the 93 Super Mario.
I'm picturing the US flag but instead of stars it's corporate logos.
