Or fake social security checks going through when some idiot breaks the COBOL code that runs federal payments system.

And if you don’t want to use someones preferred pronouns for some reason… you can just not engage. Simply not referring to someone is always an option!

Another good way to check is look for JPEG compression artifacts. A lot of these systems stored the images for training as JPEGs and thus they’ve been trained to add JPEG artifacts. They also were not corrected on what JPEG artifacts should look like, so they’ll add nonsense artifacts where they wouldn’t normally show up, for example, places without high contrast or that don’t line up with the grid that artifacts tend to form.

There are plenty of browsers built on Gecko that aren’t fire fox. So if you don’t trust Mozilla to build your browser, and don’t want your ad blocker bricked by Google, you have options.

It is one of the greats. The story is tight, well executed and the characters and their development mesh with it. It’s one of the few stories that does time shenanigans well in a way that actually adds to the plot rather than being a gimmick or get out of jail free card.

Natural gas is 95% methane. Coal is a fraction of a fraction of a percent methane. When coal leaks, it ends up as a bunch of rocks on the side of a rail track. When natural gas infrastructure leaks, it dumps Megatons of methane into the atmosphere. The research and reporting on this topic are clear, natural gas has a significantly higher heating impact than coal, with no doubt.

Natural gas as a “bridge fuel” was just as much a lie as “clean coal”, a PR campaign to support lobbyists in their efforts to prevent regulation.

It’s not practically feasible because people will find ways around it. The app can require an eye tracking features to be turned on, but people will go to the browser site. If they get the people making a browser to integrate it, then people will use another browser. They’d have to block access on any mobile browser that doesn’t enforce it, and that’s a futile effort.

At least on IOS, they tried to lock Picture in Picture and background play behind a paywall, but that only worked in the app, and both features still work for the mobile site with a bit of fussing. Just because they implement restrictions and features doesn’t mean they can actually get them to work enough that people won’t glitch around them.

I mean, it’s technically feasible, just not practically feasible, like flying cars.
