I’ve seen 100 shitty job postings for rating AI results. It’s rather complicated and pays pennies.

That’s on the university admins for poor setup. SOURCE: I’ve setup such machines.

There are sites where you just plug in the URL and the video downloads.

Florida here, gotta use my VPN anyway to get to PH. 🤷🏻‍♂️

During the pandemic, percussion caps for black powder guns were unavailable and I got those types of caps to work marginally well.

Imgur bans my IP from a Digital Ocean droplet of my own build. Just sayin’, they’re not only operating from known IP ranges.

Edge of town in a poor(ish), redneck, American suburb. Like I said, people don’t usually bike unless they have to, just no demand I guess.

I should note, not talking about the nice sorts of bikes like you probably have. Anyone with a truly nice bike is parking it in their garage. But I can’t imagine someone trying to break a lock for anything short of an e-bike.

If you need a pair of wheels that goes? They’re everywhere. Bet I could find one on the curb (as trash) right now, nothing wrong but a busted tube, if that. We’ve hauled home loads of kid’s bikes, had people come out and ask us to take them when we stop and look.

My wife and I are continually astonished at the things people toss, even in this lower-middleclass hood. I could show you our house and all the things we found/repurposed/recycled, for an hour straight without repeating myself.

Must depend on the place. Biking isn’t a big thing here. About the only bikers are people who can’t afford a car. This is a pretty poor town, but again, bikes are so cheap no one cares. Both my wife and a neighbor have bikes in the front yard as decorations.

Oh! I hadn’t thought that through. Guess we don’t have laws to cover hold AI responsible and the company can simply dodge responsibility.

Do people still steal bikes? Used bikes are so cheap around here no one even tries to sell them, especially kid’s bikes. I’ve picked up 6 little ones and 2 adult sized. I often see unlocked bikes. Not super nice ones obviously.

For example, I can get a pretty nice bike at the thrift for $10-$20.

That’s what has me grinning! I’m not replacing a Jesus nut with anything that didn’t come straight from the manufacturer.

Gotta use a positive tone and smile:

“You’re no better than you ought to be!”

In America:

Section 230 of the Communications Act provides immunity for online platforms and users, stating they generally aren’t liable for content posted by others, allowing them to host third-party information without being treated as the “publisher or speaker”.

I’m guessing Europe has a similar provision.

I’m screaming this every day, and lemmy is especially ridiculous given our views on capitalism.

In a thread about fast food prices last year, I was told I was privileged for suggesting that, “maybe stop buying their shit?”

If every American had my wife and I’s spending habits, the economy would collapse in 3-4 months.

MS doesn’t care about home users, hasn’t in a long, long time. Notice how they quit fighting piracy ages ago? The money is in commercial use.

If you’re running a Windows ecosystem, you can fine tune every aspect. If MS takes any of that tuning away, such as forcing AI, they risk killing the cash cow.

Don’t put that evil on me!

Don’t know about your jurisdiction, but we vote those people in and out around here. Well…

We used to have a quasi-private/public power company. County commissioners voted us out of that. (Still our fault.) We do still have such a water setup. For now.

This shit is a failure of local and state governments, and the people who elect them. Now that AI costs are hitting citizen pocket books, many municipalities are fighting back.

“All politics is local.”

Can’t say which is funnier, the joke or the people taking it seriously.

They also have to pay the preacher and keep the lights on.
