If you create an alternate gmail account, or any gmail account really, make sure you either configure 2FA with an authenticator app or add a recovery phone number.
The moment you sign into that account with an Android phone, the gmail app on iOS, the youTube app on iOS, or anything else that Google can send a code to, your account will force-enable 2FA without so much as a warning. The next time you try to sign in from a browser or another device, you sure as shit better have that phone with you, rather than hiding in a box 3000 miles away, otherwise you're not getting into that account.

Every day, thousands of women and children are victimized by people on X using the Grok chatbot to generate scantily clad and naked photos of them.

Itā€™s time for governments to take action. Elon Muskā€™s X should have been banned long ago. They donā€™t have an excuse to delay any longer.

Well thatā€™s a nice self pay-it-forward Happy New Year. Having one less thing to do at the start of the year sounds great to me.

That said, it opens up a whole game of trying to find the oldest curl version in active deployment. Finding Ā©ļø2014 in your car infotainment system is like finding the exp2014 aspirin in the officeā€™s medical bag.

Reasons are, as so often, historical. Computer software form and best practice does in many ways originate in the US during the 1970s and 80s - right the time US copyright switched from requiring a full notice of (c) symbol, year and author to not doing so. So it comes mostly by continued practice. Mostly as US law is still case law for most parts, which means that having a classic notice may give a better standing. Then again, the year itself may only once the item gets past any of the thresholds - which are quite long by now.

So for all practical reasons, it would have been sufficient to only note the year each file was created first - removing the need for yearly updates. This gives a minimum duration of 50 (Berne) or 70 (EU/US) years after your death. That's as of now something like 2076. Sure, libcurl may be still in use by then - if we still use computers and not clay tablets again - I would think any possible dispute has been solved already :)

On a side note, the EU still recommends the use of a copyright notice: europa.eu/youreurope/business/ā€¦

wow! Thanks Google AI Overview, you totally got it right.
"Apple's Solution: Licensing and Porting: Rather than trying to run the old 32-bit version through emulation (which would only be a temporary solution), Apple made a deal with Code Factory and Nuance, the companies that owned the rights to the voice. As part of this agreement, a full, natively 64-bit version of the Eloquence engine was developed specifically for integration into Apple's VoiceOver accessibility features."
That's right. 64-bit Eloquence. On Mac and Apple devices. All thanks to Code Factory. Ha ha. Heh heh. Sure, as likely as a JAWS for Mac OS appearing.

Elbows up.

As I said the tariff is not to protect Canada. It's to protect a US industry that don't give a fuck about Canada.

Edit: Added in the headline that it is the drug dealer, not the car manufacturer.

Hi all. So today, my hair went. Well, a lot of it went. Instead if the jaw length bob I had, I now have a very short, very. short. layererd fluffy cut which, I am so happy to report, looks amazing and is easy easy for me to manage! I am so happy. I have new natural sleep aids coming, plus cream for the restless legs which I am so, so hoping will work. Feeling pale pink and hopeful today.

Tehran, Babol, Mashad, Hamadan, Kermanshah...and many more cities: There are masses on the street tonight all over #Iran. At the same time the regime has once again shut down the internet in order to prevent information to get in and out of the country. We know from previous protests that they kill the people in silence and darkness. Please be the voice of the brave Iranians- they are risking their lives for freedom.

It will never, ever stop annoying me that #SQL has "LEFT" and "RIGHT" joins.

These keywords' names are horribly inaccessible for those with Leftā€“right confusion, which is A REAL THING that affects MANY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE.

Including, yes, myself.

In general, any usage of the words "left" and "right" in computers is at least a yellow flag, or even a red flag. Anywhere. User interface strings, help pages, visual design documents, programming language keywords, and so on. It's a likely #accessibility problem for people with Leftā€“right confusion and a likely #localization problem for people who read right-left (#RTL) languages. I happen to belong to both groups.

Also it's a huge problem with blind people because in general we don't have notion of left and right, we read all interfaces in a virtual environment line by line (in web) or in tab order (in native dialogs). So "top right" tells nothing, given also that most screen readers place the elements into virtual view in order of *code*, not in visual order. #Accessibility

NVDA stopped reading characters when I pressed the arrow keys, so I restarted it.
Then it stopped reading text at all in the Thunderbird composer, so I restarted it again.
Then my alt+tab stopped working, so I restarted Explorer.
I'm not exaggerating when I say that I feel like I can't do a single thing on any one of my computing devices without encountering an accessibility or usability problem. I feel like I'm going insane.
