It's not like anyone likes the job, it's just the one that happens to hire the fastest. It's delusional to think anyone gets the job because they like it.

And an airplane has a limited amount of bathroom water that has to be shared among all passengers. Unbelievable I know.

As a former customer service representative I have no sympathy for you. this is in no way the FAs fault. And this way of thinking, believing it is the service employee's fault seems to be the American way of thinking, you don't see it anywhere else in the world. Did you ever tell the airline it was a bladder condition? Most people do not and just say the service employee is an inconvenience and should be reported or fired

Any service employee acting in a way that does not favor the customer does so because it is their job to do exactly that. You do not report the employee, you take it higher up. The problem is never the employee. The problem is never caused by the employee. The problem is the policy that was created by some director at the company, that the employee is just following like a robot because that is their job. The employee has never heard of that director and not even their superiors have heard of them or know who they are. You could have contacted customer service and gotten credit for it. The service employee is powerless. You can even report the company itself but never the employee because they are just robots.

That means you shouldn't even try if you don't have an American VPN. You can't do it as a non-american website because Google will not index you, because their crawler is American. So it's asymmetric and it means you can only get truly free access to the internet with an American VPN server.

Foreign attacks are usually just VPNs. Something like cloudflare is much more effective imo. This is based on racism imo because for example it implies banning foreign search engines or market research. I can't help but think it fits in nicely with what ICE does in the US and the people who voted for it. It's not effective because all you're doing is banning foreign VPNs so it is trivial to just pick a US server.

>A lot of companies already block traffic by country of origin and have since they existed on the internet.

Is this an American thing? For example the home Depot and velera do it.

A lot of Samsung's low end phones sold worldwide still have them.

Is this kind of thing why samsung asks you to sign a contract before letting third parties use the FM radios on their phones? Because many phone radios nowadays are software defined?

You don't see families or groups of people doing it anymore either

Well yes, why hunt when it's already done? I meant hunting for survival, not as a sport

The average human is no longer able to hunt animals for food anymore either. I think it's just the domestication of humankind as it has been ongoing for thousands of years

Is it the domestication of humankind? The average person is no longer able to hunt for themselves. Like ant colonies, people are no longer capable of living alone.

It is so unusable the market share of Mac is increasing and google sees an opportunity with googlebooks

The problem disappeared when I switched to Linux

Because you want the best the both worlds, but it makes people think Linux has no GUI so it just keeps them locked to windows

They are very afraid of replacing Linux with windows, don't know how it's done, what it is etc.

I have never messed with the windows registry nor updates. Windows will just randomly like not show you the start menu, not show you icons, mess with file operations etc.

This is a compatibility problem with my hardware. I couldn't believe all issues just went away when I switched over

I have never messed with the windows registry not updates and neither have most of those with windows problems on the Lenovo legion 5, when I put Linux on it, all problems disappeared like magic

I am done with windows. WSL is not good enough and will never be enough, to offset the sheer instability and unpredictability of windows on my machine. Even if it were stable and predictable it would never be as free as in freedom like Linux to do whatever you want with it. Apparently windows problems like randomly failing wifi are rather common on the Lenovo legion 5 laptops from 2021.

In only a few countries in LATAM and Europe, in LATAM they are only present largely for sales but no development. I would guess the same is the case in Europe

What if the bribes are still cheaper than paying a US citizen? It would still be cheaper than hiring a Us citizen I think

I entirely agree. They are looking at many countries like those in Latin America, to hire cheaper labor there either vis local subsidiaries or local outsourcing/consulting firms

Not weird, just cheaper labor.

How is it impossible to use? Apparently everyone in India is using it? Apparently only tourists face issues with it?

With visa and Mastercard you pay transaction fees and rent for a card terminal aka card reader, which are lower or non existent with these homegrown or local P2P payment systems. Outside western developed countries aka the US and the richest European countries like France, Germany, that's enough to stop using visa and Mastercard.

It's not different, many countries already have their own version of it, you just don't hear about them. India's UPI has more users but you don't hear about it.

Maybe we hear about it because, it's right in the US' backyard and the biggest country there is Brazil from which pix comes from. All these payment systems threaten visa and Mastercard but pix is the largest in the US' backyard because the country it comes from, Brazil, is the largest there.

And it's also government run, dun dun dun. The us hates anything that is government run. That's why they hate china and communists and socialism so much.

How is this enforceable with llms if they train on generalist material, which is already the case?

I don't think it's enforceable or even applicable here. "The 3rd Circuit distinguished Thomson Reuters' case from other AI training cases. Unlike the technology in those cases, Ross' search engine did not feature generative AI — AI that creates new content "

this comment is misleading.

Which clone? Photon? It's not open source, why are creative apps often not open source, unlike other kinds of apps?

The author has said this is very early stage and from what I can see this has only existed for a week

I haven't had a chance to use it, how are you lost?

Affinity is not open source so there's that. There should be an OSS Photoshop drop in alternative like affinity tries to be

Those dated workflows are what people seem to want, they say any creative app that doesn't behave like adobe is not worth considering

LibreOffice could see some UI and compatibility work, the compatibility work is mostly done
