I don't know mate, I wouldn't replace my electric tools–drills, grinders, saw... with gas ones. But these outdoors tools are a different kind of beast. I've only used an electric chainsaw and it was an absolute crap, maybe there are better ones but it was crappier than the smallest and shittiest gas chainsaws I've used, and a cord around you in that setting isn't great either.

I would very much prefer something clicks in their heads so they can see how horrible their acts are, then find an honest way of living and maybe even try and amend some of the harm they've done to humanity and the world.

Oh! And you can also add cops, that would be the population of Illinois, for a total of 42.5 mill or the equivalent of the population of California and Utah combined.

Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no

I would guess it's the warmest at first and then it gets cooler overtime.

Why is this or should be a crime? You wouldn't call an Elvis impersonator a criminal, why is it different when it comes from a piece of technology?
I get why his daughter finds it creepy, but I just listened to it and I liked it, they don't seem to be trying to fool anyone and make very clear it's an ai impersonation. I see it more like a kind of homage or something, it's not like they're putting his face on an ad. I don't think you should need permission from the dead person's family for this kind of things.

We need but not for this, I would prefer restricting governments and corporations from using it to spy on people.

But it's the governments the ones using AI for the most evil things. Impersonating a dead comedian is a pretty benign use in my opinion.

I agree this is propaganda but it can also be true, in fact there are many other sources telling more or less the same worldwide.

A lot of propaganda is true, just half the truth, telling the good things of this side and bad things of the other. I would say there's no news just propaganda, everyone putting out a piece of information (be it state or private owned media, independent sources, a blog, a post or a stream on social media...) does it with the intention of getting people to think a certain way.

Not an ancap at all. I would argue the judicial system, police, and military are already in the hands of the wealthy, so aren't they kinda private?

I'm using the Kbin pwa on an iPhone and it works much better than I expected it to, I don't know they must have better support now. I think the functionality should be more than enough for many companies and much cheaper than a custom native app

I'm right now browsing the fediverse and writing this from the Kbin pwa. It seems to work quite well, with some quirks that I guess could be polished, but overall better experience than most installed apps that should be a website instead

judicial system, police and military

Oh! Yeah those are definitely the good parts of the state!

I was curious so I looked it up but everything I could find said 0% protein for Tazo English breakfast, so I went to my box of tea, another brand English breakfast, and alongside the table with the information for just the tea infusion (calories are specified as less than 4kcal, 4kcal) is another table for a serving with 30ml semi-skimmed milk with 1.2g protein. Could you post maybe a picture of the labeling?

I just wanted to add that you can run gui applications through ssh with x11 forwarding, options -X or -Y (untrusted/trusted but at least in Debian back in the day they behaved the same). So if you wanted a gui file manager you run it in the ssh session on the remote server, sudo if you need but NEVER logged as root, and the window will pop on your local DE instead of having to run an entire desktop on each server

That's very cool, or maybe not it seems it could only allow other stores to install software and not 'whatever you want', but are they going to apply this rule to Nintendo or Sony, whose consoles aren't a very different case to apple iOS devices, as well? No mention in the article

Many of us don't celebrate Jeez's birthday, we just get together, eat, drink, sing... if we couldn't enjoy the little things in life because some horrible war is going on in some part of the globe thousands of miles away there wouldn't be any merriment EVER.
I'm also a bit confused by your choice of words, who are you talking about when you say 'his people'? His homeland (Judea, under Roman occupation at the time, and arguably occupied by others ever since), is occupied by whom right now?

For me the difference between a cli and a gui is like asking someone to do something speaking in a language they can understand and doing it just by pointing at things and doing gestures. It's enough for ordering at a restaurant, but for more complex tasks it gets ridiculous, even at a restaurant you'll get better results if you can ask for some information and understand what the server says

The technology will never be ready

I think you are right, I hope they don't push it in a half assed state.
Achieving the accuracy is not the major problem here, but keeping it accurate. You have to make it robust enough so it doesn't fail at random (sensors in general are a bitch in this regard) and it has to hold a perfect calibration for long enough (a assume chemical detection sensor, which again, are a super-bitch regarding calibrations), while also making it at least a bit hard to bypass. The other problem is the privacy nightmare this can be, analyzing fluids or cameras pointing to your face... are they gonna sell this data to insurance companies (just as an example, it could be other companies, your employer..)? Of course they are!
The only thing I would expect from this is a lot of people pissed or worst because of malfunctions while all the drunktards stay on the road by simply filling a ballon before they start drinking.

Aaaand of course this is been pushed by some Puritan-Americans lol

That's not the cause though, most if not all languages have been influenced by many others. And pronunciation, meaning of words etc drift over time in all of them as well.
Most countries have gone through the process of revising their orthography, changing spelling or even adopting different alphabets to have kind of consistent writing systems for their languages.
None of this has been done in the English language, it uses the most basic Latin alphabet which was made for a very different language (when even many Romance languages directly descending from Latin have adapted it with new letters or diacritics), for example English has a lot of vowel sounds that Latin hadn't and it even went through something called 'the great vowel shift' when changes in some vowel sounds got them closer to others that were 'pushed', these pushed others causing a sort of shuffling in the (finite) vowel space, but spelling didn't reflect most of this.
In fact I think that in some cases the spelling took the more ancient version that matched the pronunciation even less like 'plumb' (don't quote me on this, its from the top of my head)
