If course not.

Ideally it would all be FLOSS and run by a non-profit, with a focus on health and transparency.

Give link or cry.

I was extremely excited about Neuralink, and the premise is so fascinating, but this clown is out to fucking ruin it for everyone.

“Wait a minute, WE are biotics!”

Because this game costs $40 and they want to release a direct competitor to their own product for $20 month.

It’s a learning tool: practically every user will need more than 2 months of play time.

It’s a good thing I have a copy of this already. Yar har.

Gonna need a tall ladder.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_winter

Nuclear winter is a severe and prolonged global climatic cooling effect that is hypothesized[1][2] to occur after widespread firestorms following a large-scale nuclear war.[3] The hypothesis is based on the fact that such fires can inject soot into the stratosphere, where it can block some direct sunlight from reaching the surface of the Earth. It is speculated that the resulting cooling would lead to widespread crop failure and famine.

Is it?

There is House of the Dragon.

I can’t find anything about Dame of Dragons.

A whole lotta mental gymnastics going on in this thread.

If you never read it you will never know.

There is a BBC audiobook from the 80s which is really good.

The original movie is very good.

The new interpretation is fun but not my cuppa.

A reference to A Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

It means, “good bye forever”, or some such interpretation.

“White Good, Black Bad” is a pretty easy case to win when it comes to the “should we consider changing how we speak to not look like an asshole” debate.

While the term blacklist does not originate from racist history, it has certainly been adopted by racists before computers, while terms like master and slave have clear links to slavery as a human history: in either case the terms along with others were found to be offensive to a large population and have since been changed to reflect human decency.

Edit: Haha, found the racists. VvV

From Wikipedia:

Various replacement terms for ‘master’ or ‘slave’ have been proposed and implemented. In 2020, GitHub replaced the default ‘master’ git branch with ‘main’.[18] Other replacement names include ‘default’, ‘primary’, ‘controller’, ‘root’, ‘initiator’, ‘leader’, ‘director’, ‘manager’; and for ‘slave’: ‘performer’, ‘worker’, ‘peripheral’, ‘responder’, ‘device’, ‘replica’, ‘satellite’, and ‘secondary’.[18][6][21][22][23] Python switched to ‘main’, ‘parent’, and ‘server’; and ‘worker’, ‘child’, and ‘helper’, depending on context.[7][24] The Linux kernel has adopted a similar policy to use more specific terms in new code or documentation.[22] Other projects and standards have used alternative terms since their inception.

Yes. In the same way that “Master” and “Slave” have been replaced for racist engineering terminology, “Whitelist” and “Blacklist” are replaced with “Allowlist” and “Blocklist”.

Don’t be so sure. Google has shown in the past that they store information typed into search bars even if the user does not commit the search.

Lesson learned: Feed your boss shit and do what you want on your own time.

In your mind you have already been targetted by having your image somewhere you don’t want it.

Start by DMing the schools account and request that the following images be removed because they contain your likeness. Link the photos.

The school doesn’t need to make a big stink or even ask you why you don’t want to be seen online, it’s literally none of their business.

Whether they choose to respect your privacy is another story.

Should they fail to remove the photos, move on:

Contact the school administration office and ask that you would like to make a complaint about images posted on the Schools Instagram Account. When they ask why, explain that you would like x number of images removed because they contain your likeness. If they ask why further, explain that you do not want images of yourself online that you yourself do not control. End of story.

They can agree, or not, but I’m sure this would be better than going legal on them.

I had to peel a white nationalist sticker off of the trolly return area of a local supermarket.

I live in Canada.

America is fucked.
