> It is forked on Darktable 4.0, and is compatible with editing histories produced with Darktable 4.0 and earlier. It is not compatible with Darktable 4.2 and later and will not be, since 4.2 introduces irresponsible choices that will be the burden of those who commited them to maintain, and 4.4 will be even worse.

I suggest stopping any and all interaction w/ the algorithm. Get a library card and be intentional about your media consumption choices.

> While we still require creators to manually disclose when they use realistic AI

Require? Your barely expected to do anything to upload a video to YouTube and I’m pretty sure any AI disclosures are hidden in an optional accordion dialog.

Microsoft/Xbox is in the process of losing the living room permanently in the next gen if you ask me.

I don't know what they could do spanner tossing wise to really screw w/ Linux gaming at this point that wouldn't just drive more frustrated customers off their platform.

In a town of 12K people I'd say it's incredibly unlikely. Most of if not all the labor to build it will be flown in, most of the labor to staff it will be moved in.

And once it's built it's not like a Walmart or something where you need enough staff to police the crowds...there are not crowds. There's some rack and stack needs, and some ongoing cabling needs generally,and some other stuff, but they are staffed as lightly as humanly possible.

I suppose w/ all the out of town labor to build it there will be more waitress and hotel cleaning jobs for a while...a town or over...where they can actually house the labor.

Oh, and they are getting an Olive Garden...which will probably employ more local labor.

Teams also respects some standard markdown, like italics, but not others…like bold.

MS is amazing in their ability to fuck shit up for no apparent reason. Like making a media player that doesn’t use space for play pause…

Chrome is generally a bit faster and in some JavaScript scenarios a lot faster. But that’s generally a trade off I’m will to make because it’s also spying on you more…

I only fire up chrome is Firefox can’t handle the page for some edge case reason.

The lawyers using the finding badly internally doesn’t mean the finding was fundamentally unsound and or won’t ultimately be a positive thing.

The efforts to make Windows a storefront and user data harvester over an OS will never be suspended, at least not under this CEO.

Nice to see them finally admitting user needs might be important to some level, but the way MS operates historically is that no bad idea ever dies, at best they get delayed and then shoehorned in with less fanfare at a later date.

Slipping? Both Tahoe and the latest versions of iOS are an inconsistent mess that screams of managers demanding changes for the sake of having something to ship…and bullet points to throw in a slide deck for their boss.

In the last year or so Apple has completely lost my confidence when it comes to UI design.

The choices these days for a functional desktop are pretty abysmal. Either pick a Linux distro and tune the hell out of it to your liking for a week or battle AI on the MS side and a start menu that can’t even be consistent with search strings, or fight Apple changes for changes sake…and doing insane things like throwing a full screened YouTube video onto a virtual desktop for no apparent reason past the rule of cool…which seems to dominate their thinking on UI these days (see: stage manager, what a joke).
