If you parse out random words from the bee movie to fill in the fields and change IPs every few minutes, gonna be tough

I need to read more of the court case, did he just create a ton of free accounts? If that’s the case, then he shouldn’t be charged with anything because the worst crime he has committed is breaching TOS. Don’t they have arbitration clauses in those?

After reading a bit more it appears he social engineered away some of the limits AWS and Microsoft impose on new customers and just never paid his bills, regardless of how high the bills are. This still seems like a civil case, not a criminal case. If he stole money from a bank, criminal case. But he stole usage from two corporate entities by never paying for the usage. Imagine getting dragged into a criminal case for not paying your telephone bill.

Source-avaliable, but not FOSS. You can’t take anything with the PolyForm license and use it for commercial purposes. Seems like using umbrelOS to set up companies with self-hosted applications might technically be against the terms of the license. Or even using the self-hosted applications for your own personal use and making money from any of them in some way may also be against the terms.

I think it goes both ways. He’s an absolute sham and deserves the lifetime ban, but I’m also sure that Big Pharma wanted to extinguish his fire before they got caught up in the flames. Of course with the amount of weight they pull at all levels of the government we may never see the day pharmaceutical companies are held completely responsible for the damages they’ve caused.

There’s a Bocchi the Rock community!? I’ve been missing out

This mindset is good, but unfortunately enforces bad programmers to leave their undocumented code in critical places where someone eventually has to figure out what the hell they were doing or refactor the whole damn thing because they got promoted to middle-management and can’t remember why they even wrote it.

This is hilarious. How are we supposed to develop good software if everyone is able to show us where all the flaws are?

Is there a community or database where people have tested different plugins on Linux either natively or with Wine to see if they can get things working?

I would say most things would not be much different, but circadian rhythm is probably the most relevant part. If your eyes cannot sense sunlight in the morning, ~~your sleep will no longer be affected by daytime hours~~. Edit: your skin can also sense changes in light, it could potentially also detect sunlight in the morning if exposure is strong enough. Thanks @Repelle for the insight!

Our mind doesn’t really process the time we blink, whether light comes through or not. If we had it happen our entire life, I’m sure we’d probably adapt quickly to having a complete blackout when closing our eyes.

Google is like a big hairy troll living under the bridge, the internet. Everyone thought the troll was kind of nice, even if it was a big hairy troll, because it usually let people cross the bridge for free. This court case is dragging out all the dead bodies and displaying them for the villagers to see.

Seems like another “hey, what if we used LLMs for this” scenarios. It might be more effective, but exactly how many more resources are being used to make it do the same work as current compression algorithms? Effective doesn’t mean efficient and I think for lossless applications efficient is truly more important.
