I thought the ground beef was found to be like 30-40% beef and mainly whey? I vaguely have a memory of them being sued for something (maybe 10-15 years back), that coming out, then the "meat" being rebranded across the board as a material they now reference as "seasoned beef"?

Jitsi was a pain for me to get working the way I needed it, but I have to say I'm a fan so far. I haven't used it too much yet (mainly just testing with myself from various networks/devices), but from what I can tell it'll work for my use (replacing Google Meet for my family chat uses).

I totally apologize if I've caused you some distress with my views and words. After reading through the article, I didn't see any rule listed. Could there be one, sure why not, I didn't see it and my attention got pulled away by the teachers 'feeling' being quoted as holding so much weight in what should have been an open/shut case of 'is X prohibited from being used?/Was that communicated properly?/Was it understood?'

If my words offend or frustrate, I truly apologize and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Where was it against the rules and do you have proof beyond the weak assumptions made in the article? Aside from sources that didn't exist, or citing their use of Grammerly (oh shit, I should cite MS word too because it suggested a synonym so my paper would be more 'concise' lol), I'm not seeing much proof. The teachers testimony was largely based on the fact one AI said the other paper had portions of AI generated content, and her feeling like 52 minutes on the final paper isn't enough. I spend way less than 52 minutes on my final drafts because it was largely just copying/pasting shit from my rough drafts and maybe deciding to reword.

At the end of the day though, we are all making some leaps in our judgement. Allowing the use of AI at the school, then getting pissed at some bs being submitted is like allowing students to use calculators then blaming the student for not being able to show their long division.

I mean if it wasn't against the rules, I don't think they should 'punish' for it. Then again, I got in trouble for using AskJeeves and DogPile, so I'm a bit biased about new tech and the requirement to give proper instructions to kids (not everyone is great at reading between the lines).

Came back to drop a link (sorry for the delay) and it seems others have already provided it. Dropping it here again just because it's an amazing talk by an amazing dude that was taken too soon.

Excellent point! Yet another reason why Linux isos should always be torrented!

You'd be surprised how insecure they are (or were) from the non-physical side. Check out Barnaby Jack's talk from DefCon 18 (Jackpotting Automated Teller Machines Redux).

Less that the meme is older than them, probably more so they don't realize why we torrent Linux iso's.

I can pull down an ISO in seconds over torrent, whole it takes minutes over https. Also it's nice to add some of the good stuff to the traffic, if only to pad all the illegal traffic with some legitimate stuff.

I was the IT guy for a company in Georgia (USA). Despite the fact I was the only IT guy and handled our SQL databases/Exchange/AD/firewalls/etc (all the way down to punching down new phonelines for headsets going back to the dialer), I recieved 0 days PTO (sick time or other). I was paid $15.50/hr and dealt with insane shit that made me question my morals, but when it's do thing x or not feed your son, you'll do some stuff.

Thankfully I don't work there anymore, but yeah, if time off isn't mandatory, a lot of companies don't offer it.

Someone tried to send me a picture they took and it looked like hot garbage until they sent it over email. Not because it couldn't be sent without feeding it through a potato first, because Apple wants a worse experience for anyone not in their ecosystem.

When they are the oddball in the group though, it just makes iPhone's look like a worse option.

Some employees create sym links in their OneDrive folder back to other folders... Instant VC for all those pesky junk files
