Re:European civil servants are being forced off WhatsApp on Thursday April 16, 2026 @06:27PM (#47800336)
The European Commission actually has an internal AI chat platform with a selection of different models, and recommendations on which to use based on the classification level of the information that will be shared with the AI model.

Some are hosted internally (LLAMA models), other are sourced from commercial providers (Mistral, OpenAI).

If you rotate a monitor (portrait mode) screen tearing becomes very frequent.
Re:WhatsApp Cofounder Brian Acton on Why He Left $850M Behind on Wednesday September 26, 2018 @03:28PM (#18079407)
Until the facebook acquisition it cost about $1/year. IIRC it was even profitable.
In this case it is the other way around. AFAIK Dr. Sanders was the inspiration for House.
I'm pretty sure that most people in the US speak English. See "signature strikes": https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jul/01/obama-contin...

Quoting from the article:

> So-called “signature strikes”, targeting people whose behavior is assessed to be similar enough to those of terrorists to mark them for death, will continue, according to senior US officials.

> Human-rights groups have long denounced the practice – whose criteria can be as vague as killing “military-aged males” in regions where terrorists operate – as anonymous killing.

No, as far as I remember you need the phone and the computer to be on the same wifi.
No, from my understanding cookies are allowed by default only if they are essential to the function of the site. If you only use the cookie to handle logins and sessions then you don't need the warning. I you use the cookie for tracking or analytics then you need the warning.

Note that you can use your webserver logs for analytics and that doesn't require the cookie banner.

The same way that Stuxnet destroying Iranian centrifuges was an act of war ?
Re:Christopher Poole Reveals Why He Walked Away from 4Chan on Friday August 28, 2015 @07:05AM (#10134736)
It's not mass suicides. It's individuals being egged on to "be an hero" and do it.
Re:Uber announces suspension of UberPOP in France on Friday July 03, 2015 @08:25AM (#9825078)
The reaction to UberPop in France has been shameful. Taxi drivers have been attacking UberPop drivers for weeks, following and harassing them. They even posted videos of themselves attacking UberPop drivers and their cars on youtube on facebook.

The latest outburst of violence saw taxi drivers blocking access to airports in Paris forcing passengers to walk the remainder of the way. Overturning and torching cars that looked like they might be Ubers. There was even a video of taxi drivers on a bridge on the "periphérique", the motorway that goes around Paris, dropping bricks on cars underneath.

The government instead of punishing them bowed down almost immediately ...

Part of the problem is that striking is sacrosanct in France. If you're striking you can get away with almost anything like kidnapping your employer and holding him hostage or blocking a major port for days on end (MyFerryLink strikes) ...

Is there still a use case for MMS that isn't better served by facebook mesenger, whatsapp, viber, ... ?
Check out dashlane : https://www.dashlane.com/ I've been using it for a while and Its much nicer that 1Password.

It has desktop app, a browser extension as well as android and iOS apps.

I've struggled with that for a long time but in the end how is an image of a child being raped different from an image of a man being killed ? Both depict equally heinous acts.
