  • Yes, you probably haven’t. If an entity or person does not have a presence in a country it should not be subject to those laws. Their home country should reject enforcing any penalties or extraditing their citizen. Of course the US is the most notorious and more successful in getting people that never had any meaningful relation to the US extradited.

    I also don’t think the UK or an EU nation’s court should be able to try a case against a US government agency, say the FDA because they do not follow the same standards. Or even against ICE agents because they abduct people.

    Democratic countries should be able to have their own laws even if larger countries disagree with them.

    Do you seriously think 4chan is in danger of having the fines collected? They are just right wingers trying to spur the US government into blackmailing the UK into changing their laws to align with US sensibilities and ‘values’. Fuck that.








  • I have multiple times missed time with my wife and children because I wanted to get an important job filled by someone I was excited to hire. Who ghosted me.

    You shouldn’t neglect your children for your job, even if it doesn’t go wrong and you are rewarded (lol) for your efforts.

    Keep them on normal working ours and it shouldn’t be an issue. They are not wasting your time, you are still getting paid unless you on some moronic payment scheme. You can argue they are wasting the company’s money but that’s just the cost of doing business.

    But seriously if you actually have children, you should put them first. Anything else will make you a horrible person in a lot of people’s eyes. Worst case, scenario it will make them resent you.



  • Windows can boot and still be fucked. User can login and still be fucked.

    Explorer crash and respawn loop. Taskbar not responding. Windows failing to update and still hogging every reboot. Networking settings get fucked up.

    Also booting and even logging in does not mean a person can actually use his computer for his purposes. OneDrive deleting your work files from your laptop can fuck up a guy on the go.

    Of course these people are not part of a bigger organization that managed their machines, just like OP’s mom. If anything I would say your experiences in IT out you out of touch with most PC and even Windows users.







  • If it’s contributing creatively to your work, yeah, totally.

    AI is not contributing creatively though, programs do not create.

    If you ask Photoshop fill to add an italian plumber and you’ve been living under a rock for you life so you don’t realize it’s Mario, when you get sued by Nintendo for copyright infringement it’d be much better policy if it was Adobe on the hook for adding copyrighted material and not the end user.

    I am speaking of Photoshop used as a non-AI tool as it has been used to commit copyright infringement for decades before Photoshop fill was a thing. Should it check if your image infringes on copyright?

    A better analogy is: if you hired a graphic designer and they gave you copyrighted material, who is liable?

    The graphic designer. If you went ahead and redistributed it you would also be liable. Whatever program he used or it’s developer wouldn’t be liable.
