A man must always live by his work, and his wages must at least be sufficient to maintain him. They must even upon most occasions be somewhat more; otherwise it would be impossible for him to bring up a family, and the race of such workmen could not last beyond the first generation…

Every species of animals naturally multiplies in proportion to the means of their subsistence, and no species can ever multiply beyond it. But in civilised society it is only among the inferior ranks of people that the scantiness of subsistence can set limits to the further multiplication of the human species; and it can do so in no other way than by destroying a great part of the children which their fruitful marriages produce.

The liberal reward of labour, by enabling them to provide better for their children, and consequently to bring up a greater number, naturally tends to widen and extend those limits. It deserves to be remarked, too, that it necessarily does this as nearly as possible in the proportion which the demand for labour requires. If this demand is continually increasing, the reward of labour must necessarily encourage in such a manner the marriage and multiplication of labourers, as may enable them to supply that continually increasing demand by a continually increasing population.

Those eagles remind me of something, but I’m not thinking Russian…

This is definitely AI but similar ovens used to be built and, I’m sure, still are.

However, there are still plenty of issues.

Open flame plus a flammable painting. And the painting is right over the oven where it will get covered in grease. And that’s a gas range with no hood.

There’s a reason ovens usually open from the top these days. It’s safer and allows you to peak without opening the entire oven or leaning at an odd angle. Locking handles are also no longer used because little kids can climb in and accidentally get stuck.

The multiple drawers sounds like a good idea but it just means that you can’t cook large dishes. Usually you’d only see styles like this in restaurant kitchens because they will know how large of an oven they need and can benefit from having multiple sizes for different dishes.

Iirc the issue was that the researchers left the manufacturer’s logo on the scans.

All of the negative scans were done by the researchers on the same equipment while the positive scans were pulled from various sources. So the AI only learned to identify which scans had the logo.

People who pour grease down the drain have definitely never unclogged a drain before.

Usually something like half fibers (hair, tampons, “flushable” wipes, etc), half grease and fats.

If it’s a solid at room temp, it probably shouldn’t go down the drain.

Butter is already like 90% fat.

I’m pretty certain that you can turn Relay off in your account settings.

Your first source is about women working in Canada and your second is about poverty in Canada.

Unless I missed something, Canada still is a sovereign nation despite what Trump wants.

Only #9 actually accomplished what they wanted.

So much equipment.

First you have to buy the DVD writer and then you also have to get yourself blank DVDs.

Its range is also only 180 miles. The smaller battery definitely helps keep the cost down.

This car might not be for me but I definitely see its value and hope they’re successful.

I see three possible reasons:

• He’s dead

• El Salvador and the US don’t want anyone to speak about what’s going on in the prison

• Trump wants to use this as a test. If he can get away with this, he can get away with sending most anyone.

Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.

Yes.

But they didn’t say they can’t get him back. They said they won’t get him back. The Trump administration argues that the courts cannot order them to bring him back to the US as he is not on US land.

My personal guess is that he’s already dead. They put him in a prison with the same people who wanted to murder him.

They could still use whatever config format they wanted - this would just be for providing their config schema. It also doesn’t need to be YAML, that’s just the easiest one for me to type on my phone. In fact, I think most schema validation programs rely on JSON as it is.

I also don’t think programs should be required to provide it. Many core programs and kernel modules would likely take years if they ever were able to add it just to avoid the risk of mistakes causing any major issues, especially if they haven’t needed an update in years. There are also many config files that use their own nonstandardized schema. A possibility is that they could be allowed to provide a CLI tool which could update the config or they could just ignore it entirely.

But creating a common schema for… well, the config schema would make it easier for systems to provide a frontend interface for updating your configs.

Seriously - Linux needs a standardized config schema spec. Something that programs should provide which an application can read and provide a frontend interface for the users to adjust config files.

Could be something like:

schema_version: 1.0
application:
  name: Poo Analyzer
  icon_path: /etc/pooanalyzer/images/icon.png
  description: Analyzes photos of poo
schema:
  - config_file:
      path: /etc/pooanalyzer/conf/poo.conf
      conf_type: ini
    configs:
      - field: poo_directory
        type: dir_path
        name: Poo Image Directory
        description: Directory of Poo Images
        icon_path: /etc/pooanalyzer/images/poo.png
      - field: poo_type
        type: list
        name: Poo Types
        description: Types of Poo to Analyze 
        values:
          - dog
          - cat
          - human
          - brown bear
        icon_path: /etc/pooanalyzer/images/animal.png
          ...

Any distro could then create any frontend they’d like to manage this - the user could even install their own.

That’s not even recent. Russia has been astroturfing Reddit since at least 2015.

I remember reading /r/politics pretty often back then. All of a sudden, half the posts were from RT talking about Hillary and the DNC. Yes, what they did to Bernie was bullshit but the point was clearly to either get people to vote for Trump instead or to encourage people not to vote.

Now, like you said, it’s about the war. All of a sudden, every single post about the invasion has dozens of people who are totes Ukrainian and think that Zelenskyy is a monster who refuses to end the war. Yet they either have a rather bare post/comment history or never mentioned the war before.

And, if you go to the profile for any user who identified themselves as Ukrainian years ago, it’s crazy but they’re still in favor of the war and protecting Ukraine.

This is what propaganda is. It’s not just the government putting up posters saying you should listen to them; it’s convincing you that your views are extreme and unpopular.

Haven’t gotten banned yet but it’s definitely gotten to the point on Reddit where you are aware that you can’t discuss some topics.

Like mentioning Luigi could get you shadow-banned. Redditors acted like they were going to stand up against this and yet there’s nothing. So the censorship is working - either all the comments are getting removed or people are too afraid to talk about it.

I’d argue Lemmy and other decentralized platforms are the last bastion for free speech instead of Reddit though.

Lemmy is kind of forced to be, too.

Horrific speech can be removed from the site. But if you want to see it, the admin logs are open to the public. Other instances also aren’t forced to play along with the views of one instance. And each instance can choose whether they want to connect with others.

So you could create your own Christian Nationalist and White Supremacist Lemmy. But our instances don’t have to federate with it. And if they choose to do so, we can leave for a different one or the users can block it entirely.

Lemmy lets anyone have a platform and, simultaneously, it doesn’t force anyone to listen to you just because you have your own platform. Basically, everything that makes Lemmy a decentralized platform also makes it good for moderation without harming free speech.

There was that peak time back in the 2010s. Right after they got rid of all the worst hate communities but before they were taken over by astroturfing.

Maybe like 2014-2015ish?
