  • School district bans the dictionary to comply with Ron DeSantis’s book-ban law

    Jump

  • Yeah, but I'm talking about if this happened to me when I was a kid.

  • I kinda would have been, but I had a dictionary at home so didn't use the library one much.

  • The streamlined menu makes it so the line goes pretty fast.

    Even when it's around the building it'll only take 10 min.

  • Japan determines copyright doesn't apply to LLM/ML training data

    Jump

  • What media is an LLM going to be able to reproduce that I can't already reproduce with a copy paste?

  • It seems so strange to me that we are locked in battle with providers mining our lives for whatever, and we have to work our asses off trying to stay anonymous, to the point of being denied service

  • That critical mass will never come because people don't feel the data has been stolen from them.

    Rather, it's traded in exchange for whatever online services they use.

    And to them it's a decent trade.

  • Transgender woman running for Ohio House disqualified for not disclosing deadname

    Jump

  • Honestly, it's really not. It's rather trivial to find marriage records to find the original name.

    Maybe it's the same for legal name changes, I don't know. I've never searched for it before.

    But anytime I've had to find out someone's maiden name, it's been trivial for me to do so.

  • The law doesn't apply to changes due to marriage.

    There probably aren't too many others who have had a name change.

  • Multiple people shot at Iowa high school on the first day after winter break, officials say

  • Everyone knows how dangerous guns are. Part of the point of owning one is that it can be used in a dangerous situation to protect yourself.

    The mental issue part is why anyone would want to harm another human with one.

  • She Immigrated Legally. She Married a U.S. Citizen. But She Was Denied Citizenship for Working in Legal Cannabis.

    Jump

  • I'm around your same age and have always been told immigrants generally good.

    That's not a generational view you have there. I'm willing to bet that immigrant is a synonym for 'not white' by whoever in your past has said this.

  • Bill Maher Goes on Anti-Vax Tirade During Heated Covid-19 Debate With 'Family Guy' Creator Seth MacFarlane

  • Ugh, why'd they have to get NDT to do that anyway.

    He just seeps with smug assholery.

  • Solution is stop using delivery services.

  • Nearly half of police force resigns in one day

    Jump

  • Apparently the plan was to disband the local department and merge it into the department of a neighboring area, then split the cost in an effort to lower the overall operating costs of police services in the area.

    The other city they were going to do this with declined the deal and so this town had to keep their local force in tact.

    Upon hearing that the city they worked for was trying to eliminate their jobs, a bunch quit.

  • Over 80 percent of new cars sold in Norway were electric in 2023

  • They are more efficient than pure ICE vehicles though in most situations.

    At low speed and city driving the regenerative breaking can make a 30mpg motor into a 50-60 mpg motor.

    I drove one for awhile and the efficiency is noticable.

  • ‘I would not have pulled Lush out of Russia if it weren’t for public pressure’

    Jump

  • If anything, that supports the idea that the poll numbers should be even harder against the war than they are reported.

  • ‘I would not have pulled Lush out of Russia if it weren’t for public pressure’

    Jump

  • It was all part of an effort to economically hurt Russia in response to the war.

    Best case scenario was Russia deciding the hit to their economy was not worth the war and back pedaling. No one realistically thought this was going to happen though.

    The next best case scenario was for the changes in quality of life for the average Russian would create enough internal pressure that the war would be called off.

    This hasn't happened yet but internal support for the war has been dropping over the last year and some of that is attributed to the dismal state of the Russian economy, which is a direct result of things like Lush pulling out.

    And even if neither of these come up fruition, the more Russias economy is damaged the harder it is to fund their war effort. This gives Ukraine a bit more breathing room in their war effort.

    While the effect of a single company like Lush is unnoticed, it's the collective effect of everything from these pullouts, to trade sanctions and other soft power diplomatic plays which total up to a noticable effect.
