Why are actions being taken against military targets outside of a declaration of war?

The ever present notification that a page/site was "Under Construction", before we all realized that they're never "done'.

Brooks & Dunn had a semi-popular song in the 90’s that used a variation on that: https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZxIwlV9qOZs

Because billion-dollar capitalist rent-seeking bullies got their panties in a wad and threatened to bankrupt them with legal fees that the bullies wouldn’t even feel if they lost. And the archive is just a non-profit that were offering a not-for-profit service for the betterment of society, with literally zero actual negative consequences.

Don’t forget Sony, and MS, and Nintendo.

Well, I was thinking more like the equivalent of 16 or 32 mac minis in a 2U rack enclosure.

The data stored on iCloud is locked with the key from the devices’ Secure Enclave. They’d have to unlock your device to get access to decrypt the iCloud data.

Apple’s rich enough to build and own their own datacenters. Savvy enough, too. I’d imagine the chassis are custom Apple-NOC-specific M-chip powered servers.

Apple isn’t collecting data from their customers.

Edit: to feed back into their AI training.

Normal gamers aren’t representative of normal users on a whole. Gamers are just a tiny fraction of the overall user base. Normal users buy cheap-ass laptops with their manufacturers’ opinionated Windows installation, including boatloads of bloatware. And they don’t ever change any of the defaults.

Hard to abandon a plane in international airspace.

Yeah, really. Naming things is one of the n+1 Hard Problems of Computing.

It will if every AirBNB becomes a place someone can buy.

Then they need to be at least doubled, and funneled into individual owner-occupied housing subsidies.

The problem is that there’s enough demand out there—as capital seeking to be invested—to keep supply constrained.

> This is a problem of underutilisation in my view. Too many properties are being used as investments and not as a primary residence.

I've believed for a long time that heavily taxing income from second+ properties, similar to capital gains, would help reduce rent-seeker hoarding, to help free up and reduce the cost of properties for primary-residence owners.

Thus is the power of The Dark Side^W^W^W late-stage capitalism.

Cloudflare's "protection" is basically a racket. e.g.

The market truly is irrational. :D

You get what you pay for. ;)

I used Magnet before Big Sur, but have actually since switched to using Stage Manager. With multiple screens, I find that I seldom need more than two active apps simultaneously, and it actually helps me manage my focus better.

Dolla dolla bills, y’all.

Basically anything is legally possible with enough of them, or just claiming to have enough of them.

Ole Donny T. wasn’t really exaggerating when he said that he could shoot a man dead in broad daylight on Fifth Ave. and get away with it.

This is the most Ready Player One vs. Where’s Waldo thing I have seen in a long time. I love it!

Even better would be a mixed bag of AI mistakes and correct code with no indication of which is which.

Personally, I find it hard to believe a PhD would have trouble conjugating “drink”. :P

They largely wouldn’t translate to the pseudo-3d space… Constellations are a side-effect of the night sky being functionally 2D from our cosmically-speaking singular viewpoint.

And—more important and scarce for some of us—attention.

I mean, that’s what the KKK does.

Tell me you haven’t used Autocorrect much since iOS17 without telling me.

It really has gotten a lot better. Even lets me lazily type fairly me-specialized things once I made enough manual corrections. Like iRacing iRating RocketLeague carball etc. It sucked at first because it lost all the prior training, but it retrained fairly quickly. I almost never have to hit backspace these days.
