Why, a hexvex of course!
Add censorship for mods containing adult (sexual) content.
Slowly move the bar so that more content falls under definition of “adult” (themes of violence, LGBTQ+ themes).
Continue to move the bar until desired level of censorship is obtained.
Well done, you’ve used moral panic to control your media.
Dark futures aside, why do I think that folks are just going to VPN their way in?
Honestly, I am a little scarred from snap.
Otherwise I’m agnostic on flatpaks - I’ve used a couple and they’re ok? They just remind me of old windows games that dump all their libraries in a folder with them.
On a modern system the extra space and loss of optimisation is ok, but on older hardware or when you’re really trying to push your system to run something it technically shouldn’t, I can see it being an issue.
Not to mention teachers (it steals our lessons and tutoring work), writers (it steals their work and rehashes it), musicians (music generation is a thing), programmers (so many code snippets, so few coding jobs), and many more.
A genuinely heart warming story that deals with strong themes of love and friendship in a way that made a genuine impact?
Undertale.
Not my Latin ;)
If we’re going by carpe jugulum rules - yes.
Ah, so we’d be turning in twice as many illegal copies? Sounds like good citizenship!
And when this measure fails to protect children and, instead, becomes a data security nightmare, another scheme will be proposed to further erode the freedoms the web brings.
I look forward to hearing about the workarounds kids find.
Remember, copying a film or picture is theft, so technically a copied thing is an object in its own right. A copy of bald JD is an illegal object.
Also, remember, if you find something illegal or stolen, you should be turning it in to the authorities.
Sounds to me like people should be emailing these in so they can be safely disposed of…
So, this one is a bit controversial but, when something doesn’t work try running it from terminal.
Unlike windows, Linux doesn’t tend to do “pop up errors”. Running in terminal gives these alerts, and can often give you a hint as to why it isn’t working - be it a missing library, a permission error, or something internal you can quickly search. Usually, someone has a fix!
My short stories may not be amazing, but at least I wrote them.
I am an ηβπ male?
I’ll extend this further - students are also not ok.
What I’ve observed this year is that a lot of students are opting for AI taught methods, or asking AI to summarise course materials for them. They then make bad copies into their notes, conflate these methods with those taught in class, then fail hard when an open note exam comes around.
The truth of the matter is we’ll see a post-AI degree lose its value against a pre-AI degree, and this will create a new vehicle of intergenerational inequality.
Teachers are never going to be ok - we’re “essential workers”, and we all know what that means. Our students though, they believe their actions are buying them a better future; when they learn otherwise, they’ll need all the support they can get!
But we already have dune video game at home.
Coding is a very… emotional activity. We get a bit salty sometimes.
I remember commenting a particularly bad routine with “Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch’intrate”.
There are also phrases such as “by the process of offending god, this somehow outputs…” and “This block was written by someone whose sanity was not so much questionable as it was entirely reprehensible - but it works”.
I also remember doing a search and replace of every instance of the word “fuck” with “[fornicate]” when bringing someone new onto a project.
Eh, the actual odds of getting that longevity are about one in a billionaire;)
Only the very very wealthy will likely benefit from such things.
“The millennials will be the first generation to have the option of eternal life, or the last generation whose death is certain.”
Three magic words - “Open Note Exam”
Students prep their own notes (usually limited to “X pages”), take them into the exam, gets to use them for answering questions.
Tests application and understanding over recall. If students AI their notes, they will be useless.
Been running my exams as open note for 3 years now - so far so good. Students are happy, I don’t have to worry about cheating, and the university remains permanently angry because they want everything to be coursework so everyone gets an AI A ^_^
“…to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them…”
Hey, that sounds really familiar!
