We will absolutely get UBI, or violence will ensue. That said, UBI will not look like humans being able to focus on arts and the humanities. The more likely scenario will be like that found in “The Expanse” book series where “life under basic” will be a threat, not a promise.

People do not actually want games that are original and know what they want to be from AAA game studios. Bungie made Marathon. It is a game with a unique aesthetic, non-apologetic play style that is excellent for those who enjoy that gameplay, deep lore, etc. It flopped and it is constantly being asked to change and have more “mass appeal”.

THOSE GUYS?!?! He’s losing THOSE GUYS?!?!? Damn Donnie.

Obviously, this would only work on images. Otherwise the AI can read the text without the font or the ocr metadata if in PDF format.

Don’t do it. Stay strong!

Coffee makes me sleepy. Weed makes me anxious. Focalin is like walking through a peaceful meadow with a god holding my hand and a muse whispering in my ear.

Of course, and that’s what I mean. I bet that we are going to jump from misleading to full on deepfake nudes.

Don’t lose faith. I saw the turntable last December as it was being paid for. I was there minutes too late, but apparently it had been on the sales floor for weeks.

I’ve been working on Linux since '96. As time goes by I keep drifting more and more towards boring and stable distributions. I just don’t want to be bothered with a system that needs me to groom it constantly.

If there is one thing AI is good at it is the ingestion and reformulation of copyrighted materials.

As someone who had to go through my mother’s and grandmother’s boxes of photo albums after they died, I can tell you that what people should be doing now is backing up select photos AND adding a full description in the files metadata. The vast majority of the photos in my mother’s and grandmother’s albums meant nothing to me because the context and history of those photos died with them.

Aside from adding metadata for those you leave behind, you should make it a personal habit to go through you own old photos you have backed up. Those photos true value is not as a legacy but as means to remember as you get older. Life is long (hopefully). The amount of life you forget is staggering when you remember it.

I have seen 1980’s Technics turntables in church thrift stores.

I’m 53 and I haven’t watched broadcast news since the 2000’s.

When your entire focus is one fiscal quarter long, you never think of the long term repercussions of your choices.

…get caught and wrapped around the opposite leg/foot…

I see. The tripping issue comes from the interior leg fabric. That makes a little more sense.

This belongs in linuxmemes

I am saddened by the steep decrease in sewing machine quality. I wish I had kept my mother’s and grandmother’s Singers after they passed. Built to last multiple lifetimes without snapping a thread or missing a stitch.

Seriously. I’m a man but my mother and grandmother decided to teach me to sow as a kid for reasons they never explained in life. The first thing I thought was that this is just a skirt with extra seams, act accordingly. The second was that these women aren’t getting their clothes fitted and hemmed, as one should always do.

Wide-legged and flowing, they are causing a storm on social media, with people posting videos of the fabric getting caught in escalators and causing painful trips.

Have skirts not been a thing before?

I was agreeing with you and providing a US based example.
