This whole “you have no expectation of privacy in public” nonsense needs to end. Even in “public,” we had the concept of stalking as a crime!

The technology now goes so far beyond that there are no longer just two categories: we now have public, private, and panopticon.

and maybe to some degree, you can stick heat into groundwater

Do it long enough, and even that would become a problem. There are parts of the London Underground that are uncomfortably hot to ride because it’s existed so long they’ve managed to heat-soak the ground around the tunnels.

Until recently, it was thought that only the copyright holder(s) had legal standing, so unless you could convince them to get involved as the plaintiff you were screwed. I think recently they’ve come up with a legal theory by which any user who was refused the source code could have standing, but it’s a new enough tactic that AFAIK it isn’t very widespread or proven yet.

I mean, the higher-density parts are surely incredibly expensive, too. Elton John’s place (which he apparently sold a few years ago for over $7M) was a high-rise condo on Peachtree Road. And that was an older building near West Wesley; I’d expect newer buildings near Paces Ferry or Lenox Road to be even higher $/ft².

They’re not. They’re supposed to use their wheelchair on that same infrastructure that’s great for human-scale wheeled vehicles.

Nobody who’s actually disabled believes that. Knock it off with the dishonest faux white-knighting.

People in John’s Creek wish they could afford property in Buckhead. It’s a big area (more than one neighborhood), but parts of it are neighborhoods with names like “Tuxedo Park” that contain legitimate mansions, including the governor’s mansion. People like Tyler Perry and Elton John live there. You get the idea.

Haha, get fucked, Buckhead.

(For reference, that’s where the rich assholes live.)

But also fuck Waymo, of course.

Yeah, I was gonna say, that sounds more being paid an hourly rate (at sub-livable wage, BTW) and $0 commission.

You gotta have some mechanism to let low performers go.

That’s called “firing for cause.”

Of course, that actually has accountability attached to it. Misusing layoffs for that purpose is an end-run around that accountability, which is why sociopathic corporations prefer it.

Implementing additional forms of wankery in the “Metaverse”.

If a company does layoffs, they should not be allowed to hire any staff in the same or similar roles for 12 months.

Either that, or the laid-off workers should get right of first refusal for the positions. (Along with some additional incentive for the company not to game it.)

Right, and that’s what’s going to have to change: a bigger focus on things like in-person tests (including in-person bluebook essays), oral presentations/thesis defenses instead of other project deliverables, etc.

Before you can punish for using LLMs, you need to be able to reliably detect the use of LLMs, including guarding against false positives.

You can tell they’re using an LLM if they have a computer out during the pen-and-paper test.

Since Dodge v. Ford Motor Co (1919), if not earlier.

Well, you sure sound upset, and you’re downvoting both me and the other guy who replied to you, so…

I don’t mind it being a rule, but I do mind it being a secret. It needs to be mentioned in the sidebar (probably as an addendum to rule #2).

You’re the one who’s upset about it.

Does this community not allow videos? I tried posting a link to it directly yesterday, but Automod removed it instantly.

One of @[email protected]’s comments linked to a bug report about it. Turns out the real reason is that Krita uses a plugin architecture that allows additional file types to be supported, so it can’t actually know the complete list of MIME types to put in the .desktop file at application install time.

Krita makes it possible for plugins to extend Krita with additional file format support. Those plugins come with a desktop file that tell the desktop that krita can load those file types. Of course Krita’s main desktop file cannot have the full list of supported file types, because that’s implemented by plugins. Most of those plugins are shipped with Krita, but that is not necessary. People can create extra import/export plugins that still need desktop files so your desktop can know that Krita can load this file format.

I’m not completely convinced that’s a good reason (compared to, say, having each plugin installation modify a single krita.desktop file or something), but I think it manages to upgrade it from “indefensible.”
