Usually calling Windows support, they'll give you a key if you just tell them you replaced some piece of hardware due to failure, assuming you haven't been transferring the same key around for awhile. They tend to be more invested in keeping you in the Windows ecosystem than they are are just getting one more license sold.

Keys are usually stored in the TPM chip and/or tied to Microsoft accounts if you use one. If you don't have an account, there's actually a limit to how often a key can activate new hardware. If there's no TPM, there's simply a limit within a certain timeframe that it can be used to activate on the same hardware.

That isn't what the title is saying.

Basically the percentage of taxable income has dropped drastically. The wealthy's income has spiked drastically compared to less monetarily-gifted citizens. So the population is putting less money into social security. That drop is hitting a lot harder than just have fewer workers.

It's not the same as an artist being inspired. It's more like an artist painting something in the style of someone else. AI can generate anything new and it doesn't transform things in its own way. It just copies and melds together. Nothing about it is really it's own. It's just a biased algorithm putting things together. Moreover, the artist could actually forget what the painting looks like, but still be inspired. If you erase something from the LLM, it will change it's output. It's basically more of a constant copying.

That analogy is what a bunch of people who want to sell AI art try to pitch. It's the difference between content and art.

I've seen AGI thrown around. Artificial General Intelligence.

Fairly certain that's an AI kid.

I feel like they have poor track records in choosing books. They seem to only ever choose Young Adult Fiction... which isn't bad, but if the ones they tend to choose, they're usually very tropey.

And we have A24 studios. They seem to be doing a pretty good job lately.

You realize you are also being abusive with your terminology and spreading of really poor stereotypes? You've also been condescending. You also tried to say explicitly something was only about you while trying to use that to describe literally other people? You also then continued to say your definition is yours alone but then tried to use it as a way to convey meaning to a general audience?

Abusive language isn't necessarily poor communication. There is nothing ironic there. It doesn't fit the definition of the word at all.

You've been both offensive and poor at communicating though.

If I need to say it, yes, I am, and you're a shitty person for even asking.

I'm done. And you're terrible and should be ashamed.

I didn't say the employees wanted corporations to unionize or not. The joke was corporations interrupting employees asking if they can also unionize.

This has been brought up before (not here, just in general). The short answer is they heavily customized the analytics so it's not as 'bad' out of the box. You can read more about it below.

You can probably ask them directly if you'd want more of an answer. They don't seem to be trying to hide anything.

Edit: also, as far as I know, Firefox actively should be blocking Google Analytics, unless they changed it (which is possible). About four years ago, Firefox started blocking Google Analytics by default.

feel free to identify yourself

Fuck that. No one should have to share their anything even remotely shared to their mental health for some sort of odd gatekeeping purposes.

I gave my opinion. You are a terrible communicator and using a condition in a way that is offensive and then trying to force people to put themselves when they may not want to. So fuck that even more. That's shameful behavior. If you want to be offensive and communicate poorly, so be it. That's my opinion. And so be it. If you can justify forcing people to do things and if you can justify using derogatory statements to describe other people, which you literally did, that's on you. We're done here.
