Poor guy. I sympathize with him more than is reasonable. A programmer sees his livelihood being taken by AI despite the difference in craft, care, and sense.

“It's not for nothing that advanced mathematics tend to be invented in hot countries. It's because of the morphic resonance of all the camels who have that disdainful expression and famous curled lip as a natural result of an ability to do quadratic equations.” ― Terry Pratchett

You can generally film people in public spaces (streets, parks, public plazas) without consent, as there is no reasonable expectation of privacy there. You may also legally record police officers performing duties in public.

Just don't be a creep, ok?

Did you know?

If you point meta glasses or any camera at a person withoit getting permission first, that is often considered a form of aggression, and many people will respond in kind, ranging from no response to anxiety, fear, and even rage/physical violence in response.

Don't be a dick. Ask.

Blocking these domains (via pihole or other methods) makes the Samsung Frame pretty sweet.

samsungads.com

ads.samsungacr.com
samsungcloudsolution.com
events.samsungads.com
log-config.samsungacr.com

No noticeable downside yet.

I guess Google turned on AI for Trump's name again. I typed "how many lies has Trump told in the last 24 hours" and I guess they had to call in the robots to help. That *is* some heavy lifting.

Vote YES on April 21 for VA redistricting BE AWARE!Democracy and Justice PAC (also referenced as Justice for Democracy), led by former Republican Delegate A.C. Cordoza, is at it again. I just got a text from them misrepresenting Gov Spenbe…

So, I got a text from a PAC that was deliberately trying to misrepresent the the office stance of Virginia's new governor. No surprise, given that they just did a mailing citing jum crow laws trying to trick voters last week.

Yeah, I've worked out that I don't need 'em *at all* so they can just stay boycotted as far as I am concerned. They remain on my do not fly list.

Unless they become needed for a vital service I can't get elsewhere, why should people ever go back?

Little skunk looks like they stayed up late to run across the yard at 7 this morning

Video is color, but of course, the skunk is still black and white.

Something that I find maddening is that they just don't seem to care about the world around them. They view 47 as "just another blowhard."

I wouldn't mind if he was a doddering, racist doofus either, except for all the bombs, bullets, laws and things.

People needlessly *die* because of him.

It really was. There were some weeks we didn't get the full amount, either because of a physical chore deficit, or a kid argument. :)
