I hope this doesn't count as qualified immunity.

She stopped him from changing a tire because he was 'suspicious'. She deserves prison for assault, battery, wrongful arrest (there's no RAS, regardless of what she found after) and a hate crime.

Considering I have no problems with windows with the same one i’ve had from the beginning, yes.

Well I mean you were there but from your post it sounds like you're saying Ubuntu damaged your battery so it doesn't charge anymore. Are you saying it worked in Windows afterwards anyway?

No, but bad built in battery management absolutely can and will.

and did.

Nah, even if it started overheating the battery from charging, the battery should just stop before it actually damages it. If it doesn't that's problematic and definitely a hardware defect.

You sure it wasn't the adapter? Dell has a proprietary chip for their OEM adapters to try to force people to use only Dell OEM adapters. When those adapters' chips shit the bed, the laptop will no longer charge the battery on purpose, just like using a regular adapter that doesn't use the chip (or a knock-off one spoofing it).

An OS isn't going to destroy battery cells or anything.

Ubuntu's official docs do tell you to fully charge the battery and let it run low through a few cycles before it figures it out, though I know people do complain it still gets it wrong. Personally I use Fedora and do not see those kinds of issues over the course of different laptops but as always YMMV.

We will see if a modern Congressional Hearings does anything. Normally it seems to pander to some agenda or another instead of leading to relevant laws and accountability. I expect there to be some stern words and the media reports it as a win and perhaps some weak calls for Clarence Thomas to step down at best but I don't expect to see anything actually happen. I would be surprised if we even get a formal censure from Congress for all the good it won't do.

It is happening in California too because of all of the wild fires mostly.

I rent in a medium-high-density non-US housing complex.

Well, we're talking about home ownership here. If you're renting then your landlord/management company or whatever decides policies that are compliant with your laws. If they allow some sort of HOA-like structure where residents can participate in a sort of 'council' that advises them or has some sort of authority of the landlord, then so be it.

I did however, bring up condos, where a person essentially has an ownership stake in a housing complex but other people also have ownership of their dwelling and the land is shared. It absolutely makes sense to have an HOA then. Someone's got to arbitrate in shared spaces and since the person that owns the dwelling doesn't have a landlord, then well, it would be terrible not to have an HOA.

Local governing bodies are not necessarily based in racism

I didn't say they were. I am stating a fact, that in the US, HOAs started as way to enforce gentrification. There were actual racist deed agreements and binding covenants. This isn't an opinion or speculation.

But experience has also told me that this works better when the overarching legal systems are more accessible and corruption-resistant.

OK but that's not everyone's opinion. My neighbors and I get along fine without an HOA, except for the lady who denied receiving my package once even though I had it on camera and my wife's curtains are hanging on her windows now but an HOA wouldn't have solved that anyway.

Yes I did and I'm embarrassed. Thank you for the correction!!

HOAs started as a way to keep neighborhoods white only. Now it's a way for developers to have a super majority vote to keep giving themselves contracts and a way for control freaks to control their neighbors. They started as bad actors and now some are bad actors for other reasons.

Not all HOAs are terrible but there aren't a lot of actual accountability in-spite of some laws to stop corruption and there's not a ton of benefits for most except perhaps for condos.

For example, I wouldn't mind having an HOA that contracts rates for trash, lawn care, creates and maintains a park with some stuff for kids, maintains beautification of non-homeowner areas and maybe even has security patrols. You know, actual amenities to keep the neighborhood nice and convenient for the home owners. Not an HOA that makes sure that shampoo bottles in people's bathroom windows aren't visible, front doors have to match some aesthetic or have to approve decks and sheds for people's yards.

I think they should be copyrightable. AI is just a tool for the artist like a paintbrush, an art program (and now some of those even have AI tools built-in) or even filters on photos. Even if using others' original works to train the AI, the result should be transformative which is already a mechanism that exists within US Copyright Fair Use.

As AI image generation methods improve, it will become difficult if not impossible to distinguish between an image being generated by AI or with the help of AI or not. Even if the stance will universally become "no" how could it actually be enforced? What sort of objective validation could happen that always gets it right?

Furthermore, how much would someone need to change the end-product to not be considered "AI created" anymore anyway? How transformative must it be?

Regardless of the answer now, it is almost certain that the answer in the future will be "yes".

Adults can tell this Christian homeschooling center that they were homeschooled and pay $500 and get a high-school diploma.

I'd stay away from their storage solutions and network gear as well. They are trash.

It said that she scored high on their psychopathy assessment. She would have been a psychopath prior to the podcast if the assessment is valid, unless of course, she coincidentally also had some sort of accident that caused brain damage after the podcasts.

This is a TCL TV. It is a budget TV. Of course, they're going to make it as cheap as possible, otherwise it wouldn't be a budget TV.

Frankly I doubt this TV is more than $150 USD when NOT on sale. Surely not over $200.

I don't mean to be offensive about any of it. It is perfectly fine to buy a TV within your budget but this definitely fits within the expectation of this kind of TV.

It is also very likely not going to have Roku support 5 years past the model's initial manufacture date either.

There should be absolutely no surprises here.

It is more that they believe they didn't choose to be governed by their government and therefore they are a citizen within their own separate nation. In their eyes, the court exists but has no jurisdiction over them.

A very important distinction of the Commander-in-Chief is that they specifically are a civilian and are not a part of the military. That a civilian is above the military. A civilian non-combatant does not fall under the UCMJ. Civilian combatants (in a nation vs nation conflict) can fall under the UCMJ and routinely do in times of war in the US of course.

The directory you are creating your files in likely is set to immutable or append only.

lsattr -d /path/to/directory

if you see i or a, then that's the issue.

You can remove them with
sudo chattr -i /path/to/dir #removes immutable
sudo chattr -a /path/to/dir #removes append only

Same goes for files but if it happens to all files in a directory, then that is probably it.

So exactly who's ads did people see next to those posts? Did no ads except Apple's appear twice?

The point here is that it could happen to any advertiser, right? I'm sure they know that though and it's just shallow spin.
