I'm unfortunate enough to be in both camps, depending on the situation... and find myself in the wrong one every single time.

With that said, the idea of basically having your future decided by an artifical intelligence is absolutely terrifying with how biased and nonsensical they tend to be. And I'll be honest, even if that could be solved, I wouldn't trust the Italian government to properly do so with how technologically incompetent it has been historically.

I'm not surprised. Italy has always been a fascist country at heart, fascism never really went away here. The amount of people still openly and proudly identifying as fascist is disgustingly high. It's gotten better with the new generations but not as much as one would hope. Talks of mandatory work and military service have been circulating for years, the latter was still a thing not too long ago. I honestly can't wait to get out of here...

One day you'll find yourself alone, ignored by any decent human being around you, abandoned by all that became tired of being with someone whose entire purpose in life is spreading hate and hurting innocent people around them for their pleasure. On that day, I want you to look in the mirror and ask yourself who the mentally ill freak really is.

I've had so many issues with Ubuntu in the last few years compared to other distros that honestly I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending it as a beginner distro anymore.

What a sad world we live in

[–] MaximumOverflow@lemmy.ca 8 points 9 months ago

I think you meant "concerning"?

Sorry but I don't see anything particularly egregious in there. It's all fairly common stuff, any sufficiently big company is going to face some lawsuits of that sort at some point. Also, remember that anyone can file a lawsuit, it doesn't mean that the recipient is guilty of what it describes or that the filer isn't just exploiting technicalities.

Nothing there blatantly screams "bad company" from what I can see.

Look, this is going nowhere, I give up. If you aren't going to be reasonable, I'm not gonna waste my time discussing this. If you don't want to listen, fine. Stick to your uninformed and unreasonable opinions and be happy.

Tell that to the victims of the Therac-25

They'd disclose it to Mozilla and the Firefox team if they knew. It would make no sense for them not to. Why are you so obstinate when it comes to this exploit theory, it's the least likely reason you could pick for them not to support it.

You really don't want to lose this argument do you? As a software engineer myself, I can assure you that that's complete bullshit.

Teams is nothing special, it doesn't intrinsically require any functionality only available in Chromium. It isn't some weird magical piece of software that can't be made work strictly using standard web protocols and features, something that, apparently, it already does because it does work if you trick it. It's not even cutting edge, chat and video conferencing web apps have been around for ages at this point, many were implemented years back with only a fraction of what's available today. They worked everywhere and still do. Microsoft is perfectly capable of making it work, because it can.

And If there was a known security exploit, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN PATCHED. It doesn't matter if it's on Microsoft's end or Firefox's end.

The only reason they don't make it work on Firefox by default is because they don't want you to use it on Firefox, that's it.

If there was a known security exploit, it would have been patched. Everything works, so nothing essential is missing. The way I see it, it's yet another attempt to manipulate users into switching away from open standards.

Also, it's a multi billion dollar company, can they really not afford to put a couple of devs to work on changing a few lines of code to fix whatever small incompatibility there may be?

 

Hello everyone! I've been working on this image scraper for some time now. I was growing tired of Grabber's cluckyness, so I decided to write my own. ^^

It allows you to download images in bulk from various sources with a modern, easy to use UI.
It supports most common imageboards and new ones can be added via scripting. search

The UI is fully customizable to fit your needs and likes! settings

It also has extensive support for creating training datasets.
It allows you to filter tags, resize images, apply letterboxing and more!
Please don't use other people's artwork without their consent! datasets

This is still very much under development, so if you find any bugs or weird problems don't hesitate to open a github issue or just message me directly. I'll be more than happy to help!

The Linux and macOS builds have not been tested. While they should work, I can't guarantee the installation process will be as painless as on Windows. You may need to manually copy the sources folder into your desired installation path.
