I’m not really deep into WordPress, but that Mullenweg guy seems to have a couple conflicts of interest.

Hold my bacon, one can patent the idea that a game character switches mounts depending on a given state? (Image 3)

The “Ready Player One” approach might also help.

It is still open source. However, it is not free software anymore.

AT MOST 5 a week and there are also weeks where I receive none at all. Interestingly it always seems to be the same type of spam from different adresses so there is probably a bot net somewhere that has my address and every month or so when the owners start a new wave I get a few and thats it.

On the other hand how many false positives have you had to pick out of the bin?

I am using my mail provider’s standard filter and at most I get 5 mails per week that make it through. And that’s with my mail being publicly available on my personal website. Not sure what sort of sites people sign up for, but spam has never been an issue, even away from Google.

I guess someone translated a Chinese figure of speech literally.

Some 90% of Germans support stronger legal protections for animal welfare. That makes the debate more complicated than a simple for or against.

Why? If a law passes with 90% support in a democracy, the other 10% clearly have failed to make reasonable arguments against it. Given that most laws nowadays pass with quite a bit less than that, I fail to see the problem.

Also, if your hobby or business relies on hurting other beings it is not a good hobby/business.

As is tradition. The first image transferred over the internet-precursor was also a cat picture.

Loads fine for me.

I will give bluesky credit for their focus on moderation.

Watch that focus disappear once the enshittification phase starts.

For me, it is a glorified auto-complete function. Could definitely live without it.

Your head is going to hurt even more if you are a German: The prefix “ent” usually means to lose or get rid of something. I.e. “I got rid of it” -> “Ich habe es entsorgt” so everytime I read “enshittification” I had to remind myself it’s the process of making something worse not better.

So “disenshittification” is a double knot in my brain. I propose “disshittification” as alternative.

Don’t have an English source on hand but she new she had COVID, broke quarantine and didn’t wear protection around others.

So unless you are ignoring basic human decency you are going to be fine.

Good point!

Now hold my beer for a second, English is just my second language, but “built” is past tense for “build”, isn’t it?

• They build a trailer filled with AI → Present tense, i.e. they are doing it right now
• They built a trailer filled with AI → Past tense, i.e. the trailer is finished.

Specific groups of hackers often have various markers that appear throughout their various malware.

Reused code fragments are the most obvious one. Others are specific code styles such as variable naming, even formatting. It’s basically the same stuff that is used to determine whether a specific text was most likely written by a specific person.

told an audience of Stanford students recently that “Google decided that work-life balance and going home early and working from home was more important than winning.”

Yeah, so I know for whom I wouldn’t want to work after graduating.

We do have countermeasures, however many countries mothballed them because we thought them obsolete.

The Gepard which has been proven to be invaluable in a close range AA role, is being pulled from scrapyards. Yes, the radar resolution has to be increased to effectively track small single use drones, but the technology is there.
