>but was unable to advise him

Sorry but no, she was "unwilling to advise him" is what fits here, I don't care how many NDA's you have signed, saying to her employee "I have more information than you and I strongly encourage you to take the voluntary severance", takes seconds and can be perfectly done in a "safe" moment (as in, a moment when no one else can hear you).

We need solidarity between workers, we need to stop accepting rules set only to harm us and benefit the companies as something we cannot fight, often they are pretty easy to circumvent, but people like your friend have them so engrained that don't even realize how harmful those rules are and don't even try to fight them.

PS: And this is not me attacking your friend's character, I see her as a victim of brainwashing, not as a malicious actor, she can be a wonderful and caring person, but my post still stands.

Shoko server and shokofin plugin solved the anime issue for me.

I am a very light user, so this is my feeling from reading about other people's experience; I wouldn't say that they plateau'd but up to 4.5/4.8 the gains in the models felt exponential while since then they feel more linear and the big improvements are coming less from the models and more from everything around it (harnesses, agentic development, skills...).

So, while I don't feel like there has not been improvement, it really feels like there is a limit that will be reached sooner than later (and for sure before any AGI).

I see a lot of people recommending removing the DRM, honestly, if you bought the book in Amazon (or Kobo or Barnes & Noble) I don't see an ethical issue with sailing the high seas to get a DRM-free version of it that you can properly backup and read anywhere.

The fact that the USA only helps right wing "rebellions" is pure luck, right? Those regimes weren't "as bad as the previous regime" as unexpected result, those resulta were exactly what the US expected.

This is from this year: https://www.democracynow.org/2026/6/25/prairieland_nine

Year 2 of Trump's regime, how will things be in year 14? Do you think there would be much difference from China? They are both authoritarian governments, the only difference is how much they actually control, China just had more time, give it to USA and won't be any different.

PS: I am pretty sure black people and now trans people in US know very well how you felt living under authoritarian regimes..

This a silly counter-argument to a comment that literally ends with: >People will argue if and when these gaps can be closed. I think they can be in principle, but it’s not going to happen anytime soon.

You are replying to someone that says "currently is not happening" and using someone else saying "it will never happen" as if that was some kind of gotcha.

I dare you to afford a studio appartment and two kids with a single salary today.

It is not appealing to you, because it specifically blocks the installation of browsers, so 50% of what you just stated as your needs would jot be covered (and cannot be done afterward by yourself, again, they BLOCK the installation of browsers).

It specifically mention both Whatsapp and maps as being available, but to me the dealbreaker is blocking browsers. When I am out, I use the browser a lot, need to find if this is a good restaurant, or a good product to buy, what was actor form the 80's tv show?... Like I understand why the would not have one preinstalled, but preventing me from installing it??

No way, and then add the pricetag... I do hope it fails just because I don't want people to think that the solution to today's walled gardens is "differently walled gardens".

Oh God, what a sad day to know how to read. "Why should I favor the people that at some point had struggles like mine and has better chances to understand and empathize with me over the people who cannot understand what the expression 'paycheck to paycheck' really entails?"

Thinking that multi-millionaires/billionaires will "understand their privilege" or that they will be "magnanimous" is beyond naivite and goes straight to stupidity. Have you read any news in the past decade‽‽

Do you really think that someone will willingly go through 9 months of pregnancy to abort "the day before" just because??? If someone is aborting the day before they ate due after dealing with everything for 9 months, you can believe that it was the best decision no matter how you look at it. Most -if not all- late term abortions are carried by people that WANT the baby but learn that is better (for the baby, the life of the mother...) to not carry it to the full end.

Read his take on Spain. If all his guides are the same... Better don't read them. As libertarian (he is the one mentioning it I did not have to look for it), he spends too much text -wrongly- analyzing the politics. His comment about socialized healthcare is an example of someone having "only one appointment per month" as a big failure of the system, that's rich coming from someone from the Country in which people die because they have to ration their insulin. And apparently Spain is more radical because communists get a few seats every election, but somehow America is less radical despite 30% of the population consistely supporting the fascists. He notes the far-right party without realizing that their platform is almost 1 to 1 to American Republicans... And I am going to stop there, but his takes in general are awful.

I still need to see a single breach that ends up being a liability for the company.

Totally, give me Power Metal, or even whatever Rammstein is at any time, if there is no percussion I find it either too relaxing or it will get on my nerves, no middle ground.

As someone else mentioned, I had a "Programming" playlist that has barely changed in 20 years (small additions here and there) and mine tend yo be "uplifting" type of music (if that makes sense).

Post World War II USA.

If that is not an example of how taxing rich people and investing in infrastructure can accelerate progress, then I don't what could be (with of course the caveat that those investments were focused in a specific group of people and not society as a whole).

>And I can't be in a position where I spend effort while the applicant spent none

But isn't that literally what you are paid for? Your job is to do the steps needed to hire someone and that includes reading through applicants. Why would the applicants -that are dojng this for free, for a promise of a posibility- need to put more effort than you?

I know you are not to be listened to when you dare say "innocent hand gesture made once", when he very clearly made it twice in a row; front, turn and repeat: https://m.youtube.com/shorts/R_6dVlz6mug

That is there, recorded, and you are telling me to ignore what I see.

I know you won't care, this video is not for you, is there in case anyone else starts to belive your lies, they can see for themselves.

"together on the same space and with equal space".

If you do that, you are telling anyone that just overviews the articles that both views have the same validity and that is just a manner of disagreements between peers, and that is falling into their trap, by doimg that you are actively working FOR the flatbearth cause, even if you want to feel "fair", ypu are just the useful idiot they need to keep spreading and legitimizing.

Flat earthers should no be given even a second unless it is to mock them, we have known that the earth is "round" for 2 millenia, we cannot keep discussing the same things over and over just because a bunch of narcisists want to feel like "the know better".

"Compass for navigation" would actually confuse me as I expect a "Google maps pin" for that, for example. Also <"?" for help>, that's literally text made an icon, hardly counts for this conversation.

As someone who uses emojis to a degree that is embarrasing, I agree tgat often are amazing to convey things tgat words have harder time, but I still have to accept that there is ambiguity in their meanings, yes, a bunch of conventions have rooted enough that most people would undertand the same, but get out of those or simply present them in a different environment and things change. Labels are way less ambiguous.

No, you did not.

"One man's meta is another man's data."

And with that, thanks to you, today I am a bit smarter than yesterday.

Thank you very much for that phrase, the rest of your post is a very good example for the layman, but that phrase should be the subtitle of a best selling privacy book.

I am not going to value the other sources, as I don't know some of them, but considering Fox News "unreliable" is even tame. You are better informed if you simply not watch news at all:

If you read Microsoft's response, they point at the companies issuing the MFA because -according to MSFT- "the companies are not entering the issuer in the label" and MSFT expect the issuer to be there.

I would imagine that, if that is their expectation, they would include the issuer in the label themselves, so, none of its products should have any issue.

The problem comes from using other provides -that use the "issuer" field to store the issuer (how quirky of them, amirite?)- while having the same email as identifier.
