Fearsome wizard powers.
why would you take anything you see on the internet seriously?

Wow this is an excellent tool, thanks for sharing!
Cutting spending on social services is how it traditionally works.
They’re already suffering severely. It’s all downhill from here folks.
Deleted comment was praising GitHub Copilot.
It’s literally just a glorified autocorrect and suggestion feature.
It also suggests complete stochastic garbage most of the time. When I type “list” sometimes it will try to infer that I am writing a cookbook and try to autofill to “of ingredients” or even further.
Given the fact that it’s almost a foregone conclusion that PP is going to win the next election, I think countering disinformation through “influencers” did not work.
Yeah but it’s NatPo, so you have to have some conservative angle about how spending money on social issues is literally the devil.
The same amount of fools who created the largest civilian surveillance network with Ring doorbells.
Again, there are easier ways to do this.
Biometric authentication can be required for some companies. You’d have to opt in to use the system or at least agree to the terms set forth by the employer. This kind of stuff doesn’t just get collected just because; it’s pretty sensitive data.
What you’re talking about is a cyberpunk nightmare; some corporate-assisted mass surveillance designed for like, union busting.
If you’re making vocal and facial profiles of employees you must have some reason to do so, and it can’t just be to burn cash. Like I said before, this stuff costs money, and it’s kind of pointless unless you’re using it in a way that makes money, selling the data somehow.
There are easier ways to spy on your employees. This is not cost-effective.
I use Zoom for work now and each call can be several gigabytes large, depending on resolution of shared materials and a few other factors. If you want to save that kind of stuff long term, you have to pay to keep it somewhere. If you multiply several gigabytes over a few dozen calls a day, you’re going to end up with terabytes of garbage you need to store. Zoom also informs you of when a recording is starting and active, offering for you to leave the call or otherwise implicitly agree to being recorded. You have to pay for all these things because there’s a significant amount of processing power involved. It’s not like it’s free to run facial recognition and speech recognition.
When I did contract work for Apple support, the spying was way more efficient than just listening to my calls. My supervisor could literally always see my monitor through the chat program we had installed. There’s all kinds of remote software for things like this. If an admin wants to see you misuse your equipment, they have easier ways of finding out than sifting through calls to find wrongthink.
There’s a transaction limit on tap payments. Sometimes you need to chip or swipe when it’s over $250 or something.
Classic conservative playbook, accuse the opponents of what you’re doing.
Sour cream glazed blueberry was the last good donut I had from them. Existed for like two weeks a few months back.
It’s been a while since I’ve been to Tim’s but is McDonald’s coffee not similarly priced?
Nah, it was way better back in the day. Everything was baked in-house, and your meals were served to you on proper dinnerware with porcelain cups. It was closer to a diner than a fast food place. They changed suppliers for their beans in the mid 2000s and it all went downhill from there.
I was happy with them when they were actually baked in store and not at a factory.
Don’t forget about the new Snapdragon X series. I heard they were pretty good, on par and better than M3s.
Between Chinese police stations, election interference, and Indian assassins, yeah we need to tighten up our security.
You can enable REBAR on older machines with a UEFI hack.
It’s been part of the PCI spec for ages but Nvidia and AMD only started using it recently.
The decentralized nature of the fediverse means nobody can “control” it really. You can have control over your own instances and that’s pretty much where it stops. I doubt the Canadian government would want to run more than a Mastodon instance like we’ve seen in the EU for open communication.
I would rather they invest in this with a tiny tiny sum to keep open communications available with the populace as compared to being beholden not only to corporations, but corporations that are generally outside of our jurisdiction.
Bro you’re the one who made the system slow paced by defunding it during a pandemic.
Get the fuck out of here. I’m so sick of the cons. Buck a beer is not going to help me when I’m in dire need of medical assistance.
