This is basically the exact opposite of me - love public speaking, need a lot of alone time to stay on an even keel.
When I host groups at my house there are always planned-but-open activities, bc unstructured social interaction is too hard! :D

This is the first case to reach an appellate court on the question of fair use for AI training--important caveats being that the model in question was not generative and some or all of the asserted copyrighted works in question may turn out *not* to be copyright protected.

That "protect yourself and get home alive at any cost" training racket is really paying out just incredibly well... for cops being worse than useless.

But tell us all about "predatory publishing" but only in a way where there is a simple solution that doesn't require us to do any critical thinking about what we see as current established practices, Abigail!

Affirming your feeling, I have a very similar one about my neighbor's gas lawnmower. Bought cheap noise-blocking headphones for when the noise is too irritating.

Anyone who has a trusted partner, sibling, or friend - this is a great gift to give your family in emergency or other stressful situations.

I think it was executed in their early 60s, but it would be smart to do even earlier. Each of my parents delegated power to each other, then to all the kids in order.
It's meant documents that would've needed 2 signatures only needed one; any family member present could do medical consents, etc.

The single factor that convinced me to do it all over was when I figured out that a certain arrangement of Ikea units would fit like a built-in, including my current sewing table.

I wonder if this explains why I saw bicycles passing on the -left- on a parkway twice this past weekend?

The only time I log in to LinkedIn is if someone asks me to teach them something about it and I have to go see how it works these days.

My Google-fu skills suggest English courts have upheld an automatic reverter clause of copyright in case of breach by assignee who then sold the copyrights to a third party.

Hey, @kathryntewson.bsky.social has pulled up the filings for the Unbound liquidation, and it doesn't yet appear to be final (she's getting a link with the document), but authors: you need to act fast.

I will keep that in mind! With 2 cats in car, was stopping -nowhere- on this trip! 😁 25 hours, with a few rest stop naps here & there.
I did 23 on the way out, but was better rested at the start.

I was so sad to miss this, but in midst of parental move, could not even attend anything online. :(

At the start of the year, WIRED made a commitment to stop paywalling articles primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act @freedom.press. This includes this critical piece here.

Criticizing elected officials is constitutionally protected speech, and going after WedgeLive and Taylor out of pique over an obviously satiric website (which they didn't even make!) is PROFOUNDLY DISQUALIFYING BEHAVIOR for a member of city government.

Nope! I know -something- was important there, but I'll never get it back. It's a jubilee!

And that so many of us enthusiastically jump on these bandwagons over and over and over...
Very few consequences for following the herd even when it goes nowhere (costly-ly), but very Interesting consequences for being the one going "this seems like a bad idea", even after it is shown to be so!

They became Los Gatitos Peligrosos in my parents' house, where we have been living for the last 9 or so months, on a sign reminding people to close the door keeping them & the dog separate.
Plus, they kept trying to kill me on the stairs, but I already called them "The Tripping Hazards" at home.

“To remain on advisory boards that have been stripped of meaningful advisory function is to become that shopkeeper, to lend legitimacy to a process that has been systematically delegitimized."
