“most” lmao

So conceding there has been terrorist actions. You know, like attacking people with sledgehammers, calling for genocide, ram-raiding a factory, breaking onto an RAF base and destroying the engines of two jets.

Fuck PA and fuck anybody who agrees with them. Bigoted genocidal fucks.

The difference is that Google decided this was a task best suited for their LLM.

If someone seeked out an LLM specifically for this question, and Google didn’t market their LLM as an assistant that you can ask questions, you’d have a point.

But that’s not the case, so alas, you do not have a point.

Yes, it. It’s not a person. Were you expecting me to call it anything else?

The only reason they are doing it is to blow up their numbers.

Ding ding ding.

It’s so they can have impressive metrics for shareholders.

“Our AI had n interactions this quarter! Look at that engagement!”, with no thought put into what user problems it actually solves.

It’s the same as web results in the Windows start menu. “Hey shareholders, Bing received n interactions through the start menu, isn’t that great? Look at that engagement!”, completely obfuscating that most of the people who clicked are probably confused elderly users who clicked on a web result without realising.

Line on chart must go up!

You aren’t wrong about why it happens, but that’s irrelevant to the end user.

The result is that it can give some hilariously incorrect responses at times, and therefore it’s not a reliable means of information.

They talked of the refueling planes that Palestine Action destroyed the engines of as if they were used to refuel Israeli jets, which was never the case. It was debunked ages ago that the RAF refuel Israeli jets, but they’re continuing to say it nonetheless, because they know there’s no real repercussions to lying.

Same crap the daily mail, express, etc do.

I’m not certain if they mentioned it in regards to Israel’s Iran strikes

I’m so tired of seeing the Canary push this conspiracy theory.

The UK and Israel use completely different (i.e. incompatible) fuelling systems.

This is likely a routine training flight with the Qatari air force, something we do frequently.

E: I was correct:

A British Royal Air Force (RAF) plane spotted over Doha on Monday, around the time of Israel’s surprise strike on the Qatari capital, was participating in an annual joint military exercise and not involved in the attack, according to flight tracker data.

The RAF Voyager KC3 tanker was conducting air-to-air refuelling drills as part of “Soaring Falcon”, a regular UK-Qatar exercise, when Israeli fighter jets targeted a meeting of senior Hamas officials in Doha.

Can the UK ever do anything right in The Canary’s eyes? The UK is helping the country that Israel carried out an attack on, and still gets accused of helping Israel.

He knew it would be removed, and wanted it to be.

That’s why, instead of spraying it on a random wall like usual, where it would’ve likely been left alone, he purposely chose a grade 1 listed building, where it legally must be removed.

Grade 1 listed buildings are very protected, you even have to use period-correct ingredients in the paint when you’re doing maintenance, that’s how serious about preservation the laws are.

It’s a quite dishonest, because the implication from headlines is of course going to be that it’s a government attempt to silence him, but it’s certainly an effective strategy for advertising your work and raising your profile.

They didn’t try to remove 32-bit support. One Fedora contributor floated it as an idea, and the press/comment sections went wild.

The only reason I’m still on Spotify is that I can pay like £2.20 to be in someone’s family.

But the incessant push towards podcasts bugs me. When I’m driving, I shouldn’t have to scroll through 5+ pages to finally get to the music section. That shit is dangerous.

As soon as Spotify inevitably enforces that families have to be the same household, as so many other streaming services have done before it, I’m gone.

Already watched it when it came out, I guess I’ll play it in the background while I work, muted, to help the algorithm.

No wonder they tried to remove it, it’s on a grade 1 listed building.

Are people thinking that because a wealthy and well-known artist paints on a grade 1 building, we should make an exception for him?

It was sprayed on the side of a Grade 1 listed building. Of course it was sprayed, it legally has to be.

The image could’ve depicted six-pack Starmer riding a T-rex out of a burning building saving 10 orphans, and it would still have been sprayed (not that Starmer had any input in the property management of the building)

Banksy isn’t stupid. He purposely chose a location where it would be sprayed, and used staining paints for some parts of the composition for exactly this reason.

I enjoy using Jellyfin and hope it continues to improve, but it has some problematic security of its own.

Honestly the whole Rayner thing has been very frustrating.

Woman who is not a financial expert or housing solicitor engages the services of a housing solicitor to sort out a house sale (as 90%+ of people do in the UK), then follows their expert advice on what to do throughout the process.

She later finds out that some of the advice given may have been incorrect, and immediately refers herself for investigation.

Investigation says the advice she received was likely incorrect, and that she owes tax. She pays the tax.

Media and right wing agitators, many of whom have purposely avoided tax, go apeshit, forcing her to resign.

What a joke. We had an ex Conservative chancellor who dodged tax, didn’t refer himself for investigation, then threatened to sue any journalists who talked about it. The media stopped talking about it after a few days. Total two-tier journalism.

Tories/Reform can do no wrong, Labour can do no right.

When I got my mortgage, there was so much paperwork, outdated processes, legalese, etc. when my solicitor said to do XYZ, I did it. If they advised me incorrectly, I’d also have had no way of knowing.

Why would you assume local papers in England are awful and the ones in Wales and Scotland are better?

There’s a great deal of romanticism about Scotland and Wales, but they’re culturally virtually identical to England. The only major thematic difference you’re likely to see from local papers from those three home nations is if you’re reading a Scottish nationalist one.

This feels more like politics news than technology news. Sure it’s done over social media/messaging apps, but so are plenty of things that I wouldn’t really call technology news.

I’m somewhat surprised that boys are at a much greater risk of online sexual exploitation than girls, though.

You think any and all instances of a country’s flag being flown means the person who put it up is racist? That seems like a bit of an extreme opinion.

Where I am, I see plenty of Scotland/Northumberland/Ukraine flags, interspersed with the occasional UK, England, and Palestine flag. Are all of these people who raised these flags racist/bigoted?

Do you think your bank serving your data/account access to someone that isn’t you would be acceptable?

After all, their servers are just serving data, therefore they’re correctly doing their job, right?
