I saw Nikita mention that X will flag account locations in order to be transparent around a poster's origin [0] which is a step in the right direction, though abandoning the creator program altogether more so.
Nikita has had a rough couple of weeks. Targeted with the most vile antisemitism I've seen after attempting to get doxxing campaigns under control. That is hard to do when your boss is overriding every decision you make.
I'm not sure X is salvageable at this point. The internet's town square is starting to look at lot like a 1930s German beer hall.
I don't understand why frameworks that offer file based routing don't provide a way to define routes using either a configuration file or some library calls.
Stimulus is basically a very small event system with HTML hooks that integrates well with the Rails request lifecycle. I'd love to know if anyone has built anything sophisticated with it because I found it difficult to do anything remotely complex.
Reddit's appeal system should indicate if a human reviewed the decision.
Did it say the words "automation was not used in this decision" or something similar.
I have personally never seen reddit overturn a ban and they don't spend a lot of time on cases because they have so many nonpaying users it probably makes little economic sense for them to do so.
My account have been re-enabled a few hours ago. No reason were given nor even a message. It just works again. Maybe it'll be blocked again tomorrow, I have no idea what happened...
California has passed SB79 which is a minor step forward. The opposition it received was pretty high for such a limited Bill.
I don't have a huge amount of faith CA will get housing costs under control but doing so is clearly one of the prerequisites to get a handle on the homelessness crisis.
When the cops stop you on the street and ask for your digital ID and you can't show it to them, they'll take you to a deportation center. #PapersPlease
"Tourism in the United Kingdom is a major industry and contributor to the U.K. economy, which is the world's 10th biggest tourist destination, with over 40.1 million visiting in 2019, contributing a total of £234 billion to the GDP"
Like the US, I think there are multiple interest groups, not all of whom are interested in seeing "aliens" on British streets. I was named a "Highly Skilled Migrant" by Her Majesty's Government of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland and paid a fair amount of money to the University of Liverpool and yet, never got the feeling I was in any way anything other than a foreigner.
The same way other things "help" migration. By making life very difficult for you if you aren't a proper citizen. I imagine the outcome for this would be to make it nearly impossible to do anything with the government or doing anything you might need an ID for, especially online. Some citizens will probably suffer too, but it is a price the government is willing to pay.
On iOS you can create a shortcut to push a screenshot through the built in OCR and copy to clipboard. You need to crop beforehand if you don’t want all the text on the screen.
On recent iOS versions it just happens. You try to click on an image in the browser to save it and whoops! you're clicking on text in the image that iOS already OCRed for you. And the Photos app will let you search for OCRed text, and it OCRs _all_ the text without you having to lift a finger.
