It was just an image I’d saved from years ago. I believe I’ve found a less cropped version, and from that, the origin url, but not a direct link.
If I’m correct, the artist is Wiley Miller.

Wait until you find out that hardware already has more rights than women in some places.


Also a functioning public transport system, but that’s a little harder to do than sell a few cars.


If less work needs to be done by humans, does that mean we can have Universal Basic Income, and get paid extra for the jobs that still need humans?


You’re lucky. I’ve been working 15 days a week, uphill both ways in the snow.


“The revolution will not be televised.” The people responsible for putting the cameras in will do everything they can to make you feel powerless and isolated, especially suppressing information about rebellions.
Rupet Murdock controls most TV stations, radio stations, newspapers, magazines, news websites, and “news” YouTube channels.
You will not see anything on the news about people organising or fighting back against the system he’s worked so hard to create.


AI is absolutely not needed for this, and is only a liability.
They could say “press 1 if you are calling about X” or even “if you are calling about X, we are already aware of it. If not, you will be transferred to an operator in a moment”.
An automated system like this is easy to implement, easy to audit, and will fail in expected and managable ways.
AI is nondeterministic, and will fail randomly in very unexpected ways.


It might help.


Multiple independent braking systems and adequate maintenance.
A single failure may cause the escalator to stop working, but it takes 3 failures in a row to make it catastrophic. Regular maintenance catches this failures before 3 in a row can occur.


If any of the stairs are damaged and cannot stay attached correctly, there is a chance of falling into the machinery below, which will not stop just because a human is in the way.
If the failure is in the braking system, it can quickly turn into rapidly moving stairs, which can be very lethal.
Most escalators have multiple independent braking systems so that this doesn’t happen, but some poorly maintained escalators have been discovered with 2 or even all 3 systems disabled.


Yeah, tell that wall to get out of your way.

The square app will not run on a phone that has developer mode enabled. I turned developer mode on to disable annoying animations, so now I can’t take card payments unless I carry around a second phone.
If Google goes through with this, my payment phone won’t be able to run any third party apps.


Australia almost did this right with the National Broadband Network.
Unfortunately, it was then sabotaged by the government after an election changed the majority party.
It seems to be back on track after wasting an extraordinary amount of time and money by installing copper lines, just to completely replace them with the fiber lines that were in the original plan.


Are they going to sue to operating system owners next? What about the web browser that offers the steam installer download?


It sounds like a faulty device to me. I recommend reaching out to customer support at a minimum.


I didn’t know you could use different launchers until a few weeks ago. I’m so much happier with Lawnchair.


Yes, microG is on /e/OS by default. I believe my bank uses some of the security features from Play Services that aren’t in microG.
I’m not 100% sure that it can’t be fixed, but it’s such a minor nuisance that I don’t think it’s worth my time to investigate.

My bank app will install, but I can’t login unless I also install Google Play Services. The website works fine without.
No issues with other apps. I do prioritise installing from F-Droid whenever possible.
Using their feedback website as intended is hardly abusing. They want to know why people are leaving. This tells them what to do to fix it.
