Not quite. The problem is that rich people can find ways around the laws. https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/political-registratio...

The title is unfortunately edited. The courts have blocked it. The government wants it.

They also do not really care if a few geeks get around the system.

Very few people will use local models. In practical terms most people use a few big providers.

What I am not clear about is who will have access to the tools for identifying AI content? Will it be public? An API?

Studying maths and literature should develop your mind in many ways and gives you a chance to enrich your life. I do not see how handwriting will do that. Pushing someone with a disability to improve their handwriting will not cure their di

I am talking about disabilities which affect things like motor control which means that they cannot improve their handwriting very much. How does good handwriting improve people's live significantly? I know some people who prefer handw

> I don't understand why schools moved away from that in the first place. Cost and convenience. Being able to work on computers does help people with bad handwriting, which includes some disabilities.

That is exactly the problem a choice of app stores solves. Instead of downloading APKs you se stores you trust, and some store apps support multiple repos. Its a Linux like solution.

If you look at ancestors there are repeated references to trades and trading, not to finance or banking.

I noticed plasmashell is write heavy and logs to journald a lot so I have just switched to XFCE partly for that reason.

I recently put a lot of effort into reducing logging because of excessive writes. It was so much easier when everything had its own log and you could just look at which files were growing.

That was not caused by trading. It was caused by irresponsible lending and deceptive securitisation of that debt. Trading can bring down a bank (e.g.Barings) but is not a big systemic risk.

Because everyone else is. If everyone in your area uses it, or its how people communicate around something that matters to you, you need to use it too

With a desktop its usually possible from the network setting GUI? Worked like that last time I needed to use a VPN for access to a corporate network.

The complexity I have seen in supposedly simple CRUD apps is amazing, especially what some less experienced people do.

> y definition vegans don’t eat dairy. They eat fake fairy instead. > Fake meat is just tofu with preparation. Its made from a variety of things, and the the health and environmental effects will vary a lot.

US beef is one of the worst in the world. Its not a fair comparison for a product sold globally.

by graemep 2mo ago
A lot of vegans eat fake meat and dairy which shares many of the environmental problems of meat, such as needing a lot of inputs so a lot of plant material relative to the final product.. It also adds energy use, transport, packaging etc. T

Food needs to provide more than calories. Do the same comparison per gram of protein.

There is quite a bit in between too. Grass vs grain fed cattle, for example.

The UK has also been very keen on it itself. UK law is at least as bad as the requirements imposed by the US. A lot of other countries are better.

The article is about something that happened in Australia. What does the law there say?

Would phoning them and pretending to be someone ahead of you in a queue to cancel their reservation be a crime? probably, but not one likely to get prosecuted.

I am, and yes, its not a crime in itself though, unlike picking the lock to get in.

by graemep 2mo ago
However walking through the door would not be a crime in itself, where I live anyway.

We have similar problems in the UK. Lots of extra paperwork for small businesses and individuals, very little impact on big crime that was supposed to be the target. Just opening a bank account can be a pain, and more so if you are living a
