I want to hate it. But I think I really love it.
So the artist is following through with pressing charges? Instead of just hitting ctrl+p and reprinting his art? Seems like an opportunity to give someone a break who might need one.
The original article title read “doomscrolling” instead of “AI”…

In Seattle I believe this is being done to make it less controversial about which locker room trans people use… there’s one.

I have a coworker with a mechanical keyboard, and I find myself irrationally upset at him throughout the day. No one else seems to mind.
Having RW permissions doesn’t mean this kid is different from the other engineers working on the project, or that he can circumvent check-in policies regarding code reviews and signoff.

Thanks for mentioning Lapham’s Quarterly, I’m reading past issues now. Any other reading recommendations?
Re:Shoplifting and frustrated customers plague self-checkout on Tuesday December 19, 2023 @10:51PM (#38705260)
My local Home Depot has 3 humans overseeing 6 self-checkout kiosks… I’m guessing they’re there to protect against shoplifting (which certainly leads to accusations of profiling) and assist when the machine inevitable fails at something.

Perhaps Teachers and other public servants should be offered a mortgage benefit similar to veterans
