The Orleans Parish Communication District (OPCD) is changing the way dispatch calls are handled in New Orleans with the implementation of new technology.

There’s a lot of things to blame the police for, but this isn’t one of them. Besides, emergency services aren’t just cops. Why would they have all the say over a hotline they compose only one facet of?

The US is literally a country born through and sustained by violence. You really can't just get around that when it's most poignant.

Had to double-check that I wasn’t having a stroke because of this headline

Of course! When you make your product do some stupid illegal shit, just blame the product as if it’s anything more than bloated autocorrect entirely without a will of its own. That definitely makes sense.

Watching these people crash and burn can’t come soon enough.

Okay buddy, just be sure not to cut yourself on all that edge.

She was mentally ill and clearly already in a vulnerable state of mind beforehand. This is frankly a disgusting thing to say in this context. Grow up.

Yeah, I'd say this is one of the very rare cases where willingly employing AI in one's workload is fairly warranted. On a macro scale it's obviously still bad, but considering how atrocious work conditions are in the manga/anime industry (and even in Japan overall) I'm usually going to be sympathetic toward a mangaka using AI for the sake of their own health and sanity, granted that they aren't an outright shill for it.

What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?

It’s as the case is with everything for these parasites: if it loses them too much money or makes them too little, they avoid it like the plague. It’s cheaper upfront to just run it through an open system.

Multiple things can be true at once.

It’s on a case-by-case basis of course so it wouldn’t be the same for everyone. But generally speaking, Linux isn’t user-friendly (though I’m not saying it isn’t at all) in the sense that everything is guaranteed to be compatible with it and work immediately, whether it be certain peripherals that require extra setup to work correctly or software that was never specifically made to work on Linux. I know that from experience, having had some head-scratcher moments when trying to run an obscure/older game or trying to get certain hardware to run on my Linux machine without it having had compatible firmware out of the box. And I wouldn’t even say that I’m all that unknowledgeable with this sort of thing.

I’m not trying to disparage Linux or anything, but it’s definitely not so black-and-white as it easily working well for everyone all the time. It’s never really accommodated for that unfortunately, especially since there’s no one universal Linux distro with all those sore points snuffed out. Until that’s the case I don’t think it would typically appeal to the average person who only games on the side.
