Probably perpetrated by some dumb straight Christians.

But the reporting on this will focus more on the fact that the victim was ingenious and/or gay, than what's going on with the shooter.

But we get headlines like "trans person sentenced to (insert punishment) for (insert random crime)" or something similar whenever anyone from the LGBTQ+ community acts out.

You'll never see "straight man shoots a person because the shooter was a dick" or anything similar.

Fucking double standards.

Heh, it's a small business and bossman isn't exactly anti-AI.

I think GDPR and related laws, really tempered what Microsoft did to the whole of the European region. They didn't want to deal with it, so they made as much as they could, opt-in. As opposed to the north american policies of either opt-out, or forced-on.

IDK. I don't work at Microsoft, I'm just guessing. 🙃

For those curious, if you can get a European Windows product key, you can install the "N" version of Windows. Be warned, it only works with certain product keys....

The standard Windows installer should give the option of "Windows 10" or "Windows 10 N" (or similar). The N version is basically bloatware free out of the box....

The regular version has a bunch of promos pre-installed, like candy crush, and other things that most people couldn't give a shit about....

Recently I've been playing a "fun" game with my work laptop where I'll remove copilot, and a few days later it will appear again. Weeee. In that case, it wouldn't surprise me if there's a policy in place to enable copilot on my works systems.... I'm sure someone who works here, probably higher up the food chain than me, wants it enabled, and the ham fisted policy maker can't create a policy just for those who want it, so everyone gets it because the bosses son Shane decided that he wants to see how much of his work can get done by AI so he can do even less while on the clock.

Gotta go put on your lady face and feel uncomfortable to use the restroom as a trans man now.

Can't make the straights feel things!

And we certainly can't have any ungendered bathrooms in public spaces. No siree.

/s (obv.)

Also speaking as a cis straight male, this is fucking stupid. Use whatever bathroom you feel comfortable going into, don't be a creep and certainly don't rape anyone.... Those directives may be targeted at different groups of people.... Just saying.

Be who you want to be.

That's the joke.

I take it, you use arch?

This is gold. Thank you.

Fair enough. This one is debunked.

Let's move along people, nothing to see here.

Yes, smoking takes years off your life.

But they're the years at the end....

This reads like a Pharma advert.

Well, in the OP, it's entirely nepotism.

Fact is there's a lot of dead end postings, as far as I can tell.

Corpos post jobs so they can claim they're trying to hire someone, with zero intention of actually interviewing or hiring anyone.

It's basically a warm blanket for the current overworked and underpaid developers so that they keep working, waiting for help and relief when none is coming.

Then they have a pool of candidates when their current developers get sick of their shit and quit, so that they can fill that role immediately.

Yayyyy

The AI will help him write the next big thing in machine learning....

IMO, this would be more ironic if the post was closed automatically by a bot. But that's not the vibe I'm getting from this.

You paid?

You're weird.

.... I mean, we're all l weird, so that's not really saying anything.

As a fellow old person, former millennial, I agree.

Long term occupancy of the ISS started in November 2nd, 2000. Since then there has always been at least one person Manning the ISS.

So at least one human has not been on earth for every day since then, thus, all of humanity was last on earth on November 1st 2000. The statement is factually correct.

Well, someone needs to keep the lights on in the ISS....

I get it, you're an optimist about it.

Nothing wrong with that. I try to take a more practical/grounded view.

In my experience, most people actively avoid thinking. If it involves any measure of mental effort, they would just rather not.

I see it every day.

Spoiler, they're incredibly simple and quite clever.
