brucethemoose , to World News in Ultra-Orthodox protest against order to enlist in Israeli military turns violent in Jerusalem

More I read, the more predictable Israeli politics seems.

The outcome always seems to be "what's most beneficial for Netanyahu's survival."

And in this case, its preserving the status quo since he needs that for a coalition, I guess?

I mean the application could tell by looking at how its encoded, right?

Though I acknowledge how problematic "trusting" the app to do that is.

brucethemoose , (edited ) to Privacy in Microsoft CEO of AI: Online content is 'freeware' for models

Well it would be great if more of their models were 'freeware' too.

Microsoft just loves to have their cake, eat it... and not share it.

Webp works fine for me now.

The problem is AVIF. I mean I love AVIF (almost as much as JPEG-XL), but it doesn't work with anything except browser web pages, even after all this time.

What's the warhead on those? Is it a cluster bomb, or the other variant which looks like a bunker buster?

Makes sense. Thieves filtering for easy marks is probably older than writing.

brucethemoose , (edited ) to World News in Wikipedia calls top Jewish civil rights org ‘unreliable’ on Israel-Palestine crisis

More than just a dispute over data, though, the Wikipedia editors argued that ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt often acts as more of a partisan actor in the Israel-Palestine conversation than a neutral source of information.

Greenblatt has called US anti-Zionist student protesters Iranian “proxies,” compared the Palestinian keffiyeh scarf to a swastika, and praised Elon Musk just days after the Twitter owner endorsed an antisemitic conspiracy theory as the “actual truth” last November.

Is this the story of the world now? Some old rich guy watches a little too much TV/Twitter and sends a major organization off the rails?

...I guess it always has been.

brucethemoose , to World News in South Korea blasts Russia-North Korea deal, says it will consider supplying arms to Ukraine

I get why, but I'm still a little surprised they haven't done it already.

brucethemoose , to Technology in YouTube is experimenting with Notes, a crowdsourced feature that lets users add context to videos

I'm sure the annotations will be intelligent and insightful...

brucethemoose , (edited ) to Programmer Humor in What the heck is a god dang cloud?

I grew up in suburban DFW, and King of the Hill is not really an accurate parody...

It's a documentary.

You think I'm kidding, I am not.

No, it ended when attention optimization and monetization became the objective.

If social media was all "dumb" it would be totally different, though I suppose keeping third party monetization out is always difficult.
