More than 312 hours of internet blackout in

This is a crime by the Islamic Republic. While Israel is targeting the regime, the Islamic Republic is using 80+ million people as human shields. They cut off the internet so people can’t communicate, can’t get news, can’t check on each other, and can’t even find out where to go or how to stay safe.

그러고보니 오늘 부친이 자기 사무실 옆에 마련해 둔 고양이 집에서 고양이가 기지개피는 걸 봤다면서 자랑을 했어요.. 부친이여 당신은 강호의 도리도 모르는 것입니까 그런 것이라면 자고로 사진을 찍어 내게 공유해주어야하는 것이 아닙니까

일본 사람들이
한국인은 한글 쓰는데 한자 이름이 있어?라고 하는데
알기 쉽게 설명하자면
출생신고 할 때 신고서에 한글이랑 한자이름 적고
그게 호적같은거랑 주민표 같은거에 올라가는데
사실 2007년 전까지 쓰던 한국의 호적 시스템의 근본이 일본에서 온거라서 2000년보다 더 전에 전자화가 안된 호적은 이름을 한자로만 적었다고 하면
뭐어어어엇

Here’s , focusing on ones that have had a lasting impact on my life ^^ Star Control II is such a work of love, and I had to include the Longest Journey for being such a beautifully made adventure.

I would have had Golden Treasure: The Great Green as one of them, but I couldn’t find it on the site.

It has already been two weeks. Who is going to take responsibility for this?

@janlJan Lehnardt :couchdb: Indeed, people have gotten the mistaken impression that the licensing issues have been answered. THEY HAVEN'T YET! The US Supreme Court *declined to take on* a case which had ruled in a lower court that AI generated materials were in the public domain. And yet I am seeing *all over the place* people saying that the US Supreme Court said AI output is in the public domain. They didn't!

And outside the US, nothing is answered either! It's true that the US tends to set international precedent but we are *also* not in times where we can count on that, either.

@maexchen1 Das habe ich natürlich schon gemacht und angeblich ist das PlugIn von Inkscape fehlerhaft.
Ich habe gerade nochmal recherchiert und es scheint so zu sein, das es mal für die Version 1 vom Designer entwickelt wurde.

Puh... das ist lange her. Das erschwert unseren Umzug extrem. Wir sind echt davon ausgegangen, das zumindest einzelne Seiten funktionierten.
Jetzt alles händisch als svg exportieren? Das dauert Jahre...

@Matthias

I missed the msg with details of the issue. So not sure if the following is helpful.

Just letting you know they merged Affinity V3 support 15 hours ago according to: gitlab.com/inkscape/extras/ext

I can see some instruction on using the development version of the extension here: gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/wo

That said, I think a lot of people think we can fight AI / LLM output on copyright grounds, and I actually think that's a losing strategy. Copyright almost always helps the big players, and it would here too!

You can see, they're already counting on and hoping it will be the case.

What the big players want is for copyright to apply to AI generated output because then *only* the big players can provide LLM services. See also Sam Altman's "running intelligence as a metered utility" pitch.

And the reason they could do this: *they* can make deals with Disney, Netflix, etc. But open models can't.

But what about all the "little guys" stuff? Well, when you sign that ToS on GitHub, Stack Overflow, DeviantArt, etc etc etc, all those places, you give them a right to your content too.

And THOSE places get to sell your rights.

So fighting on copyright grounds won't be an even playing field. It helps the big AI companies win.

Oooh, a prior oil crisis is what turned the Netherlands from a driving country to a bicycling country.

The Guardian: Do we want to keep fixing the same issue? Unlearned lessons from the first big oil crisis

As energy prices tripled in the 1970s due to Middle Eastern wars, Scandinavia, France and the Netherlands sped up green transition

Dutch cycle lanes

“Holland saddle-sore but fume free” was how Guardian editors headlined an article in November 1973 after oil price spikes led the Dutch government to ban cars on Sundays. The three-month measure was followed by a number of structural steps – from segregated cycle lanes to designing people-friendly cities – that got people on their bikes and out of vehicles that chugged foreign fuels.

“The decision of not using cars on Sundays made it clear that societies could do without them for one day,” said Jan Wittenberg, the first chair of the Dutch Cyclists’ Union, which was founded 50 years ago. “And it looked fantastic. There were picnics on motorways and kids playing in the street.”

This little film helped me remember what I love about movies and film.

It's about a cat, and self discovery, I promise it will make your day better if you take some time out to watch it.

:)

(I've described the video in a reply to this post.)

my favourite micro-community is the one that forms between folks with usernames prone to mis-tagging in GitHub issues. 🤝

Maybe we should get with the times and invite "tpu" too.

github username @gpu comments on an issue they were tagged in mistakenly, saying: "Although I was tagged rather accidentally here (that happens often, greetings to @cpu ), it somehow reminded me of an experiment that I made many years ago: http://jocl.org/GroovyGPU/ . Good luck with whatever you're building here 👍"

"Palantir CEO Alex Karp thinks his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men.

“This technology disrupts humanities-trained—largely Democratic—voters, and makes their economic power less. And increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, working-class voters,” Karp said in a CNBC interview Thursday. “And so these disruptions are gonna disrupt every aspect of our society. And to make this work, we have to come to an agreement of what it is we’re going to do with the technology; how are we gonna explain to people who are likely gonna have less good, and less interesting jobs.” "

(the "vocationally trained working class, often male, working class voters" also stand to lose from types like Karp btw)
