Isn’t this typical though? I thought telegram blocked terrorist channels years ago.

Hamas is a terrorist org, so I would expect any communication they use that isn’t purely end to end encrypted will get shut down.

I’m typically a pretty free speech person. But my idea for limiting is violence and crimes. Or at least “real” crimes (I don’t care about drug trade but think that planning terrorism or domestic violence or whatnot should be blocked based on their link to crime).
Not really an alternative per say, it's more or less an app that will let you subscribe to people instead of youtube.

So it makes it very easy for you to get a feed from your favourite channels even if the youtube algorithm changes, or Youtube have decided that you've made a boo boo and should no longer be visible or promoted as much.

But, it also incorporate many platforms such as Odysee, Rumble, Patreon Twitch, Kick etc.
And the creator can verify them selves and could upload the same videos to different platforms and only one would show up in your feed for exaample.

So it is a very neat little app. Rossman is part of Futo, but he's not a developer and doesn't develop anything for the app himself.

you should really check it out, it's nifty.

On Sonoma I can select 24, 25, 30, 50, 60, 100, 120 Hz, in addition to "Variable (40-120 Hz) refresh rates for my LG C2 display.

However, when I enable variable refresh rate and switch to fullscreen mode, VICE can perfectly synchronize the refresh rate and scrolling/animations become butter smooth.
Correct. The people we're talking about - Ivy League alums, the children of professionals, immigrants, and people who want to be like them - are much likelier than the average American to drive their wealth into assets and savings. Housing prices, stock prices, retirement portfolios would balloon, not (for the most part) the prices of everyday goods.

Which is what happened; the wage-price spiral that we did see was largely localized to Silicon Valley/San Francisco (and, to a lesser extent, a few big cities). Until the Sept. '19 repo crisis and then the pandemic, of course.

Aside from it being technically trivial to get an IP back from its hash, the EU data protection agency made it very clear that "hashing PII does not count as anonymising PII".

Even if you hash somebody's full name, you can later answer the question "does this hash match the this specific full name". Being able to answer this question implies that the anonymisation process is reversible.

> Did you organize meetings with parents? In coop with teachers?

At least where we are, schools have been told not to touch WhatsApp at all, and use another (more GDPR-compliant) messaging product; despite this there is typically an unofficial WhatsApp group for each class, but no teachers are members.

> WhatsApp means obedience and submission

I don't disagree, but I don't think you'll convince many parents to stop using WhatsApp if you approach it like that.

My impression is that most parents are very busy people and are just trying to keep up with the chaos caused by their kids; they will opt for the easiest solution that solves their problem.

> When I'm talking about how large companies have inefficient processes, it doesn't really matter if the company has 10,000 employees or 100,000.

My argument is that there should not be companies this large at all. Everything above 100-500 people tends to breed a layer of pointless middle management layers and a host of supporting bullshit jobs, and in many cases the lack of internal competition leads to ossification.

So, yes, of course one may argue that without this one couldn't build something as complex as an airplane, a GPU or whatever... I'd say, keeping a cluster of teams as distinct companies, maybe with some sort of "service company" that deals with shit like payroll, travel expenses and whatnot, is actually more efficient as it offers a chance for people to get (literally) invested into their work and have the profits end up in their wages as well instead of everything being siphoned off in increasingly opaque ways. And it enforces proper working processes (e.g. documentation about interfaces), and so actually reduces the chance of stuff going wrong.

There's been some research into this in China (comparative development was in fact the late Lee Kequiang's speciality).

The issue is, research into stuff like this and converting it into actionable policy is becoming difficult, as mid and lower level civil servants don't want to deviate from a literal definition of policies or their mandate as administrations have become much more vindictive due to the economic slowdown. Research like this ends up stepping on people's toes.

Stuff like this is material for a background image on desktop. I use Bing Wallpaper of the Day for that (you can download the picture with 3rd party clients). This way, I always get the same background on every computer, but it changes every day, so whether I like it or not it is very temporary. Meanwhile, when my kids see it, it sometimes inspires them. For example, my left screen has all kind of fingers on it from Sunday afternoon when my son saw a labyrinth (its OK, I will clean it).

In AOSP / F-Droid there is Muzei which has a hook for astronomy pictures (NASA, specifically) [1]. Though it also has a Bing hook (it is modular). Smartphones have a different resolution so meh.

Death is ultimate poverty. You lose everything you have and everything you are, all at once. And this ultimate loss is not avoidable nor reversible. And sometimes it comes without warning.

So it's quite normal to fear death. My trick to not fear death too much is this: perhaps in theory I own what is mine, but in practice I just have some assets that were lent to me, and that will be lent to others after my death. I see myself as just some manager of what I have.

This is nonsense. How are multibillion dollar companies accountable to shareholders and other owners willingly giving away money for some nebulous principle such as having the "right" people make money. Conspiracies should at least be based on some tangible elements. Fringe roles are too few to be seriously considered.

The reality is that it's all a matter of supply and demand. Ofc, there is waste, but any industry having margins like google are bound to excesses eventually if leadership doesn't intervene.

> You think it's hard trying to find good programmers? Try finding good managers.

There's an ambiguity in the word "good": it can mean skilled, but it can also mean ethical. Personal ambition and greed can turn any organization dysfunctional, even if everyone is highly skilled. And you can't really blame individuals within a company for wanting to make as much money as they can, because that's more or less the point of the company itself.

As far as management is concerned, smart ethical people who are inexperienced will eventually become better at their jobs through experience, though this may involve a lot of trial and error. But in a certain important sense, smart unethical people will never become "better" at their jobs.

By the way, I personally don't think it's hard to find good (skilled) programmers. Companies make hiring a lot harder than it needs to be. Despite my years of documented excellence and my success as a self-employed indie developer, I'm essentially unhireable by most companies, because I'm not good at, or indeed willing to devote myself to, jumping through the arbitrary flaming hoops they set up to keep people out.

Perhaps this is an ethics problem too. Everyone seems very concerned about candidates who lie about their résumés. But for some strange reason, companies are exclusively focused on trying to evaluate the skills of candidates rather than evaluating their ethics. Here's a thought on this subject: companies practically demand that job candidates lie to them about the reasons they left their previous job. The truth is that a lot of people quit because their previous manager was an idiot or an asshole, but nobody is allowed to say that in a job interview, otherwise you'd be immediately rejected as someone who has a "bad attitude" and is not a "team player". In other words, playing along, having a "good" attitude, means lying.

> You're saying it sees someone as if AI is walking around and this all happened by random chance.

It's called a thought experiment. You are claiming that processing imagery that is publicly available for viewing consitutes an IP violation and I'm taking that to the logical conclusion.

> based off unlicensed imagery

The imagery on Artstation is licensed. Artstation has a license to display those images publicly. If Artstation did not have that license, they would be the infringing party.

> so a few companies did it in secret

I'm not sure what the basis for this assertion is it was not done in secret. Stable Diffusion was trained using https://laion.ai/blog/laion-5b/

This lawsuit isn't against the people who trained the model, but those who distribute it. Yhe Stable Diffusion model was not released by a for-profit company but was released as open source by a university research group which received funding from VC backed companies.

The IP model you are pushing for is a huge expansion of the already problematic copyright system. It will curtain research and training of publicly available models.

It is already easy as can be to copy images with a computer or digital camera. Stable Diffusion doesn't make it easier to reproduce these images and washing an image through a ML model won't protect you from that reproduction being an infringement.

I think it makes far more sense to use our existing restrictions to regulate usage of the output than to make new restrictions on the types of processing that are allowed on publicly available content.

It's definitely not something someone with zero coding experience could easily do, and I feel even a junior developer would struggle with anything even as complex as this. You have to have the concept and structure in your head, it's just writing the code for it.
