Now, the drone-captured data is sent off to contractors at SewerAI, who run it through their AI-assisted algorithms to identify defects automatically.

Now this is the kind of AI shit (pun intended) I can get behind (pun even more intended).

That’s part of why I use Xubuntu/Kubuntu mainly and Lubuntu for real low end stuff. Straight vanilla Ubuntu is… not super appealing. Ubuntu server that’s just CLI/headless though, that’s pretty tits, imho.

I agree that the backend for snaps being proprietary sucks, but I actually think snaps themselves are pretty useful in server configurations because of the sandboxing and limiting access to system resources. I get the whole argument that it’s doing what flatpak already did yadda yadda, but like… competing standards happens. It’s part of life and always will be.

I work for Meta (Facebook).
For example, the word “protest” will now get your account and activity monitored.

Suddenly Ubuntu doesn’t seem so terrible now, does it??

Ubuntu gang represent.

No and they don’t plan to federate it. Not on their roadmap.

Further Matrix is guided by the Matrix Foundation, a non-profit group.

But I mean sure let’s just dump one for-profit app for another as if it won’t follow the same path.

We both know that this kind of nuanced take isn’t was Truss is aiming for, though. Otherwise she wouldn’t use the “free speech” canard.

Last I checked the UK has no guarantees of free speech.

World-leading research is taking place into this field at King’s College London, where scientists have explored lab-grown teeth for more than a decade.

Yep, I first read about this more than a decade ago so that tracks. Probably a decade or three more before it’s really viable as a solution.

Yeah for that you have to look to Germany, which has largely embraced Matrix, and certain states, such as Schleswig-Holstein, have embraced Linux and LibreOffice:

c’est magnifique

weaning them off government assistance.

What a horrific way to state such a thing, and basically, fuck Florida for this anyway.

faith-based organizations

No seriously, fuck Florida.

I don’t know whether to be on the trolls’ side or not in this instance, because these people should just have access to their government assistance instead of this bullshit. I guess I’m not on their side though because getting in the way still hurts people in need. Ugh. Ugh. Fuck everything about all of this.

Commander Shepard tried for both Liara and Ashley at the same time.

this one time, as a treat.

Thanks for this, at least it gave me a chuckle in these dark times.

If we are going by that metric clay tablets beat paper.

The articles take is actually much more nuanced and neutral than that, but it still really amounts to the same thing.

Even if there are other options for viewing the limited content, those options are not widely used, and as such, the content block is generally effective.

So far, EU OS is a Proof-of-Concept for the deployment of a Fedora-based Linux operating system with a KDE Plasma desktop environment and bootable container technology in a typical public sector organisation. Other organisations with similar requirements or less strict requirements may also learn from this Proof-of-Concept.

I think tape storage has the best longevity in offline data storage, but it’s been a while since I checked.

If they don’t follow the law with their adds, why should they follow it with our data?

Oh we’re well past that point.
