Are you Taliban and want someone dead, but frustrated with your fundamentalist movement's pesky adherence to the rule of law? Upset at the heretic you can't quite get proof of? Overbearing parents trying to arrange another marriage?

With new Taliban Ban on Images of Living Things®, you are back in the driver's seat. Just take a picture of your target. After it's done, the authorities will be practically begging you to murder that person to prevent the inevitable consequences, including the collapse of society and the rending of the fabric of space-time.

Sorry, soft cookie lovers, I'll never understand you. You need to maximize that maillard reaction.

It can be hard to find a site that isn't shareware spam. Try this list, find a freeware you like that hopefully uses FFMPEG, and bookmark the site for next time you need a pre-vetted list of good tools:

Conjecture: I wouldn't be surprised if the TeraLeak in question wasn't planned out by Nintendo and Game Freak, to distract people from the fact that Nintendo is trying to harass a competitor out of the market and suing emulators back and right.

Sorry, but at its worst, Nintendo is lawful evil. There's no way this is intentional.

What do you call cromulent's mom?

I'm sure the embedded racism is deeeeep, yeah. All those "AI" hiring models are doing is pattern matching, based on whatever junk was fed into it.

So any discriminatory patterns are probably not only embedded, they're impossible to remove without some hypothetically non-discriminatory training data. Not sure where they would even look for that.

God, how is Harris up by 3% nationally and somehow it's a "dead heat."

At this point it's increasingly looking like we're going to have the third presidential result in the last 25 years that is opposite the will of voters. Is it time to engage in a general strike yet? What's the move here?

And in specialized fields, or really any career path, the way that you stand out from the crowd and actually have a chance at getting the job is to network and find the person to talk to that will give you a shoe-in.

So we've created this entire qualification & resume system, built on the idea of meritocracy. And it has gotten so ungainly and unusable that we have shortcutted the whole process and are back to "oh, I know a guy/gal."

Wonderful.

Roku is honestly as bad or worse. Someone is getting promoted in their marketing team for finding new rectangular places on the various home screens to place ads. It started small with Roku and they built up a lot of good will. But they're cashing it in, and it's already deep down the enshittification curve.

"How do you kill... that which has no life?" Is one of the best lines.

Hmm, you make a good point. For much of his presidency her fame was dependent on him, but I think you're right now.

I guarantee there is a prenup that gives Melania nothing unless she stays with Trump. There's no way Trump would have had it any other way.
