As someone who doesn't know most of the tells but genuinely wants to know, what are some of the things that tells you it's AI-generated?

Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for a mod that gives mustaches to mudcrabs. The mudcrabs are a proud and fancy race!

Jesus, only $500 a *year*?? May I ask where you live in? I live in MI and I pay about $990 a year for minimum liability insurance.

Canon, not cannon. Then again, since this is about war, maybe it should be cannon. Lol.

What's with all the line breaks?

Paint.NET has a *lot* of legacy code that cannot just be discarded. The dev said as much in their original post.

Exactly this. I used to be a tab minimalist, but vertical tabs + tab groups made having lots of tabs open viable for me.

Genuine thought: maybe it's the separate windows?

Of course it's QT. One might even say it's adorable.

>Note also that converting jpeg to jxl is 100% reversible, you can convert it back to exactly the same image (byte for byte identical) if you need to. Speaking as someone who loves JXL, I have a serious question: I once used ImageMagick

That...sounds horrific. Oh my goodness.

What is "hot desking"? Is it as horrifying as it sounds?

That seems like a really niche term. Parent really should've specified what it meant instead of assuming everyone in the world would automatically know what it meant. On that note, thanks for explaining it to me.

What does DMV stand for in this context?

>"Partially agreeing" while baselessly denying the central point is what exactly in your book? It means partially agreeing, and quite respectfully, I might add. You, however, were only *dis*respectful, downright rude in fact. &

It's not about the company; it's about the technology. Whether a Flock-branded camera or not, ALPRs as a technology is *dangerous*. From deflock.org itself: > Flock is not the only ALPR vendor, and other vendors still participa

Exactly. I work in retail and we have ONE guaranteed day off each year: Christmas Day. (And a lot of retail employees don't have even this!) And until recently, I never got holiday pay either.

I work in the US service industry (retail), and until recently I didn't have sick time at all. The only reason I do now is because I'm a part of a union (very rare for retail workers) and they argued for sick time. And it's a

Just as an aside, I suspect the last line had an implied "/s". If so, I think they really should have included it.

I genuinely can't tell if you're joking, though I'd like to believe you are...

That is extremely unfortunate. :( The day I can no longer use Old Reddit is the day I stop using Reddit.
