       @AccordionBruce @indubitablyodin @RussSharek That's why I only use DRM-free ebooks.On my own devices.And if that means I have to scan a book myself, there are really nice book scanners at very affordable prices nowadays.

       @eff Funny, the data in the screenshot at https://github.com/FoggedLens/alprleaks/blob/master/docs/csv.pngsuggests that Motorola ALPRs at least have a problem of detecting the colour of the cars correctly, row 4, that Lexus RX looks very non-black to me.

       @jgoerzen Walking up to the 14th level to your room is good cardio.You should have been a good capitalist consumer, and given them 5 stars for the unexpected cardio training.And think about it like that, walking down the stairs to breakfast and back up allows you to indulge at the breakfast without remorse about all the calories.

       @jgoerzen Yes, but that honesty might expose them to legal liability.

       @effIt's called optimizing the profit. Profit up, costs down. And if executed correctly you can do that to a captive "customers" and "partners" who are basically helpless while they lose.That's how capitalism is supposed to work, not that irritating propaganda talk for the peons about fair competing on the market.@pluralistic

       @_elena Well, AFAIK, ddg uses bing as their primary index.Actually, the incestuous relationship with Microsoft has been commented on, e.g. ddg protects against anything BUT Microsoft.Not really news.

       @Tutanota It's not a bet.The US-style AI scam as FAANG is doing it, is a securities style fraud, to make their companies look like “growth stocks”, thus getting a pass on P/E criteria that apply to “mature stocks”. Luckily for them #Trump has dismantled regulations in the US.https://www.wheresyoured.at/big-tech-2tr/And over-valuated stock is basically a licence to print money.https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=4156&context=lkcsb_researchThe companies can issue overvalued stock in themselves to pay for acquisitions, as compensation etc.

       @eff Does that mean that corporate VPNs, e.g. AWS VPCs are also banned?And the military/intelligence has to open their networks to the open Internet, as their employees cannot use a VPN to connect to their networks?
