I dunno, I was just correcting the above.

It blows my mind that advertising could be worth more than a subscription.

Their evaluation of advertising must be tied with brand recognition and other general brain washing tactics.

This current trial is being determined by the judge. There is no jury.

This is the first I’m hearing about models trained on real CSAM.

Unplugged mine last week. Fuck em.

So what they are saying is that it’s perfectly fine to address every man as “her, she” incorrectly, every time. Perfect.

They are not implying all Americans have poor internet, they are implying that most Americans have bad internet and are forced to use it due to non-competition.

Give link or cry.

Full name. Address. Phone number. Credit Card details.

He wants them on his platform asap.

Once that hook catches it’s hard to take out.

What are they to stop?

I recognize that others have filled the void and answered, but to answer you: what are they to stop?

Not finishing your sentence is almost as great a sin.

A broad funnel ending in jail.

A whole lotta mental gymnastics going on in this thread.

If you never read it you will never know.

There is a BBC audiobook from the 80s which is really good.

The original movie is very good.

The new interpretation is fun but not my cuppa.

A reference to A Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

It means, “good bye forever”, or some such interpretation.

“White Good, Black Bad” is a pretty easy case to win when it comes to the “should we consider changing how we speak to not look like an asshole” debate.

While the term blacklist does not originate from racist history, it has certainly been adopted by racists before computers, while terms like master and slave have clear links to slavery as a human history: in either case the terms along with others were found to be offensive to a large population and have since been changed to reflect human decency.

Edit: Haha, found the racists. VvV

From Wikipedia:

Various replacement terms for ‘master’ or ‘slave’ have been proposed and implemented. In 2020, GitHub replaced the default ‘master’ git branch with ‘main’.[18] Other replacement names include ‘default’, ‘primary’, ‘controller’, ‘root’, ‘initiator’, ‘leader’, ‘director’, ‘manager’; and for ‘slave’: ‘performer’, ‘worker’, ‘peripheral’, ‘responder’, ‘device’, ‘replica’, ‘satellite’, and ‘secondary’.[18][6][21][22][23] Python switched to ‘main’, ‘parent’, and ‘server’; and ‘worker’, ‘child’, and ‘helper’, depending on context.[7][24] The Linux kernel has adopted a similar policy to use more specific terms in new code or documentation.[22] Other projects and standards have used alternative terms since their inception.

Yes. In the same way that “Master” and “Slave” have been replaced for racist engineering terminology, “Whitelist” and “Blacklist” are replaced with “Allowlist” and “Blocklist”.

Do you have a recommended deletion route?
