"C" seems more natural to me 🙂

Reddit post on r/technology about young people and AI: "I recently heard about a teacher who instead of trying to circumvent students using AI, which is impossible, she made assignments by going "ask ChatGPT to write a report on this subject, and then research how and why it's wrong". Not only did the students discover that ChatGPT is extremely wrong a lot of the time, it also lead them to realise that they should not use it as a primary source".

This is one of the best ideas I've heard in ages.

Six-year-old Matvii Marchenko, a student of Kyiv’s Sen-Bin karate club, was killed today in a russian attack.

Matvii was the youngest of three brothers, all of whom practiced karate.

“The world must know — they’re killing the future,” said the Ukrainian Karate Federation.

Fascism doesn’t show up wearing jackboots. It shows up in suits, stacks the courts, and calls the press “the enemy.” You don’t need to guess anymore. Here are the 10 signs—and what you must do now.👇

Good Night World

recently released emails from a copyright case in the us showed meta executives debating whether they should seek permission from, and make payment to, the authors of the over 7.5 million books they had scraped data from. "it would be unreasonably expensive," one concluded. as meta is valued at $1 trillion, we might dub this schrödinger's economics: where a company is both the most valuable on the planet yet also too poor to pay for the materials it profits from. it's a neat trick. and one you have a chance of pulling off, if you own the majority of communication platforms in the world.

Sumy region, the border with Russia.

The Russian army is wiping that area off the face of the earth.

In some villages, it is impossible to even evacuate civilians - Russian FPV drones attack all vehicles.

This is what Putin really wants. He doesn't want peace.

This is what corruption looks like.

Very good, Chris.

OpenAI says it has proof that Deepseek used its work without permission to create something meant to undermine and destroy its product.

On behalf of all the authors whose novels and stories were taken as training data, oh no that must be so hard for you.

WOW!! The number of @bsky.app users just hit the 30 MILLION milestone!! 👏

British novelists criticise government over AI ‘theft’ Richard Osman and Kate Mosse say plan to mine artistic works for data would destroy creative fields

'A government spokesperson said: “Current uncertainty about how copyright law applies to AI is holding back the creative industries and AI sector from realising their full potential."'
I notice the government are not sugesting the power companies give the AI sector their electricity for free.

What are we DOING here? We're just meant to sit and act like this insane plagiarism and climate threat that requires more money than anything has ever cost is worth it? Are we meant to pretend that ChatGPT is worth this aimless, meaningless destruction of capital and our environment? For what?

Happy holidays, Keney.
And thank you, again.

This doesn't just happen with Inkscape.
If you compare any other application you will generally have this difference.
Linux is an efficient operating system.

looks nice.
Yes, I am curious 😁
