I am an adult but I am also a human I would expect a layoff with the same level of care as onboarding. If that’s done 900 people at a time over Zoom, cool. We all know we’re part of a herd. It just sucks and is completely unnecessary to tre

Most US sites are giving the cookie bag to US users. It may simply be easier for leadership to say add the widget than it is to say we won’t accept traffic from the EU or risk the consequences It feels similar to how CA environmental regs b

The fact that an AI work was selected says more about the judges than anything else I’m not an AI hater; I use it every day now at work. But the output is obviously not human expression. You can tell. That’s fine for what I use it for. For

> Many say they want small phones and manual transmissions but then don't show up. I wonder if this is some kind of enthusiast bias where owners of these niche products love them so much they run them into the ground so the demand s

This should be an interesting case in today’s legal climate Obviously grafeneOS has no liability. But the owner of the device didn’t take the action to remove the data, the CBP officer entered it. We already have some precedent around being

Yeah not only are we dealing with third party consent issues…but that kind of log is not going to hold up in court as OP suspects It does not really prove anything. So you have a bunch of blank audio files with timestamps when a crime was c

I mean, that’s a MUD for you. It’s inherently text based. It’s of the golden age of the internet where passing the UX bar meant you earned your place in the community. The genre opened doors for MMORPGs like EverQuest. If you want something

> Netflix is a provider of content. If I have the content, why do I need a provider for? I have never used Kodi. Does it organize your content? Does it download summaries for every episode? Does it create thumbnails and posters for you?

It’s really not that hard. Most of your devices are in the Apple ecosystem and when you are prompted to create a passphrase it will ask you to put it in your iCloud Keychain. Boom, now it is available across all of those This is how it will
