Huh? Minimum wage does not make it harder to find work.

The concern is here is clearly not the revocation of licenses.

The cost of not just learning but becoming a professional user of a specific set of tools is very high. Then later as time goes by being forced to either abandon these tools or to accept a different pricing model is - to many people - unfair and unethical.

Is water harvested on Mars habitable for fish? If not, bringing such large volume of water to orbit and/or Mars could be too costly.

There is more to this argument. Adobe made themselves an industry standard with a perpetual license - pay once, own forever. Once they transitioned to a subscription model with a strict cancellation policy, it became the only option.

Saying that designers could have just continued using Photoshop CS on a 2006 MacBook doesn't reflect the reality of hardware updates and the changes in the industry-wide design trends.

Startmail.com and Protonmail.com allow responding from alias email addresses.

Most domain registrars require providing identity details. Even if these details are private, a single leak or a config mistake on this domain will expose your real identity, tied to all aliases. With an alias service or a shared email provider you don't have this risk as you don't have to provide your real-life identity.

So while it's tempting to use one random alias ([email protected]) for a high-risk service and another alias for a critical service ([email protected]), these aliases are easily identifiable as belonging to the same person.

Integration. When signing up with a new web service, you can just pop open Bitwarden and will generate both a unique email alias and a unique password, prefill the sign up form, and save the details to the password manager.

Most people use a catch-all email with custom domains — and Bitwarden does have an option for that.

As mentioned somewhere in this thread, using a custom domain poses other risks, in some cases more significant. All your aliases will be forever tied to your identity (and potentially de-anonymized by a single leak).

It's not in the same category. You can use Firefox Relay as an alias generator within Bitwarden. It provides a convenient UI and an integration with the password manager.

In most cases you can have the same level of provenance with a plus addressed email, without needing to support a custom domain.

Yes, could potentially be related to a different CPU architecture, but could also be something else eg RAM capacity (I have 64GB) or Proton Mail settings (do you have offline enabled? I don't).

Hm, I have Proton Mail in a pinned tab in FF (Mac) - no issues at all. The only time I re-open it is when FF restarts after an update (~once a month).

No. With one partial exception being OpenAI that got $1B investment ~5 years ago from MS before they launched DALL-E v1 (and even before GPT-3).

Assassinating your political opponents using the military in the name of saving the nation fits quite neatly into the definition of fascism. You don't need the system to be fascist to be a fascist.

Since the prevailing view of Trump and MAGA Republicans is that they are fascist, it's not a stretch to point out that the proposal in the parent comment is far closer to "actual" fascism than the actions of an incompetent enabler.

This is incredibly impressive! Both the UI and the feature set are fantastic.

Right, the best way to avoid fascism is to become a fascist before your opponent does. In the name of democracy, of course.

"Our customers’ security is of the utmost importance"

They don't even have 2FA enabled for logging into such a sensitive portal?

That ship has probably sailed. If Llama3 is performing on par with GPT-3.5, then there is no real benefit for companies to restrict access to slightly better proprietary models.

That's pretty absurd. Instead of lowering the classification of this crime they could have introduced reasonable exceptions, like excluding one's own photos.
