Actors used to be on the hook for overdub voice work after shooting wrapped. I don’t know if that’s still the case.
Honestly, I’m more concerned about high budget movies where I can’t understand a fucking word. I know there have been many articles and YouTube videos on the subject, but there’s really no excuse for that nonsense.
Motorcycles I can kind of understand. Some people believe that making their cycle loud makes it more “visible” to other drivers, helping to prevent accidents. I don’t think there’s been any studies to prove this, but I can understand why people buy into it.
Still waiting on an enterprising social network to start detecting photoshopped and AI-generated images, and badging them as such. If AI can generate this slop, surely it can be used to detect it.
So glad I don’t use Windows anymore. Microsoft has lost the plot.
I didn’t sound like a centralized system from the article. More like they want a third party like Verisign or something.
Something will have to be done as these platforms become more popular to cut down on fraud and disinformation. You don’t want people impersonating other people or organizations, or companies. Even if Bluesky starts federating to other platforms, just knowing that they have a blue sky blue check would be an improvement if you could display that check on other clients like mastodon posts.
ICANN has already made a mess of domain names so I don’t know if relying on the domain is enough. People are using non-Roman characters to trick people into thinking a website domain is the real thing. Others are buying up all these random domains so you get things like medicare.net and medicare.org and medicare.com etc etc.
I dunno what the answer is. Just rambling out loud in frustration.
I don’t see anything controversial in the article. Did I miss something? Just looks like a way to make sure the public figures and companies you are communicating with are who they say they are.
The FTC is the organization that never should have approved these mergers in the first place.
I thought “google shopping ads” were those “click here to purchase from…” ads that show up when you search for something like a t-shirt, or a vacuum. Not ads for the app.
I’ve had more than one good boss that did these things:
Encouraged me to seek other opportunities in the company when higher positions opened up. He/she was good at helping team members find positions that matched their talents.
Didn’t micromanage, but instead hired capable people and trusted them to do their jobs.
Shielded team members from internal nonsense and politics so that we could concentrate on our jobs. It was always “If another manager has a problem with you, tell them to come talk to me.”
Good managers also encourage their team to learn new skills and hone their existing ones. Never stop learning. Even if that learning is just how to navigate the system to get things done.
So are they insinuating that Google App Store “popularity” ranking is actually paid product placement?
Don’t some system updates require a reboot as well? Would be nice if this applied updates as part of this cycling.
Not sure how this reclaims pocket space. You’re just trading width/height for thickness.
Hey, remember the W.O.P.R. from WarGames? What could possibly go wrong.
Hey, remember Vine?
Sell it to whom? I’d rather they have to spin it back off into its own company.
Same with WhatsApp. They should never have been allowed to buy either.
From your link: “not all Tesla patents are open source.”
Doesn’t bother me. You can always block them individually like users if they are cluttering up your feed.
There’s nothing stopping Dorsey from releasing all of his IP under a public license. Same with Elon who jumped on this bandwagon.
Doesn’t this idiot own a company that makes solar panels and back up batteries? 🙄
I hope no one gets it. It should be its own separate company.
