Some do, others don’t. Many people that care about truth, but were ignorant before, will have to do something about it since “AI” generated content is so prevalent now.

Some people just can’t be helped. But it will affect thinking population.

Does this mean the creator of the Python language is a Microsoft employee now?

Yes, he is employed by Microsoft now. He did step down from Python as BDFL in 2018.

Further, does this mean that Python in spreadsheets only works in the cloud MS Office?

It’s not technically limited to only Microsoft Cloud, but Azure-powered services, but it’s kind of the same.

Implications from the patent being granted are yet to be seen, but it’s not looking good. It will severely limit external tools if MS decides to enforce the patent.

Honestly, it’s not a bad thing. People were used to believe every single thing they saw. Now they are forced to verify information or least stop and think if it’s true.

Her unique talents are expected to be utilized within the Israel Defense Forces, where she is likely to serve as a performer, showcasing her musical abilities for fellow soldiers as part of the military’s cadre of exceptional artists.

You are correct. I got distracted and forgot that the article was talking about office work.

In this case, non-competes prevent people from quitting and switching the job. Also, people forget, that a lot of office workers moved to live outside the city center after the pandemic, so now having to commute is a lot more than mere inconvenience.

While that makes sense in big cities, in more rural areas Amazon either bought out or bankrupted all competition, so there are no job alternatives. Had a brain fart moment.

Does anyone even care about Windows Apps at this point?

“Anyone present in this area after this time will be considered a terrorist,” the leaflet read in Arabic.

You heard it here first, leaflets is all you need to justify killing civilians on mass. Other countries were doing it wrong all along.

I stated my opinion and linked to the article that supports that assertion. If Russia was unhappy with that “claim” they could have refuted it by a simple image or video, which they didn’t do.

Do you have any Russian sources to corroborate this?

Lack of refuting from Russia is confirmation of that being the case in my eyes. If you need a detailed response from Russia’s spokesperson, then there isn’t one.

When he was hiding in a bunker from his own people.

They actually don’t use the fund to subsidize it. And many policies were added overtime, which any managed economy should be able to do.

The Norwegian EV incentives:

• Public procurement:​ From 2022 cars needs to be ZEV​. From 2025 the same applies to city buses​

Very unlikely. There was a possibility early on that Putin would decide to go out with a fiery bang of glory, but time passed and nothing happened. He might threaten use of nukes, but won’t actually use them for fear of retaliation. The whole fucking point of nuclear weapons was deterrence until the brain-dead US decided to actually use them. One can hope the world learned their lesson.

The article is literally about there being enough tools available without needing to add more “large surveillance programs” or breaking E2EE.

Most don’t last long.

AI is not replacing the jobs, CEO greed is. Like you mentioned, this will fail spectacularly.

It’d be one thing if X didn’t actively promote disinformation but they are doing that. They’re picking what and who to promote via their algorithm.

That’s the argument being revisited in US courts right now. If you choose to promote something, you are doing the editorializing and shouldn’t be protected under Section 230. And with how much a certain party hates the whole section, it’s likely to get struck or limited if it ever reaches the Supreme Court. That irony would be lovely.

If they had a hands-off approach to free speech (like any given Mastodon instance) I’d agree with you.

Just to be clear, Mastodon doesn’t have “hands-off approach to free speech”. Each instance has clear rules around what they allow and don’t allow. Just the federated nature of it prevents censorship, so all opinions can be heard.
