Cameron has an awful reputation for how he treats people on set and you really see it start to come out here pretty quickly . He’s hostile and dismissive the moment any criticism is mentioned whether it be from Roland Emerich when he tells the reporter to “move on”, proving the “overbearing” criticism right, or that anyone who criticizes his transfers as needing to “move out of mom’s basement”. His films are often awe-inspring but he’s been called “a nightmare to work with” and “autocratic” on set.
I’m sorry for misreading your comment. Seeing un-constructive comments elsewhere probably prejudiced me. These are definitely upsetting statistics and those feelings are valid. Good news is they’re only inevitable if we allow them to be so hopefully we can influence others to take action as individuals for collective change and liberation.
This is meant as a prediction of how could things could be based on current trends and data, not an inevitable future we can do nothing about. There are many constructive things that can be done. I don’t think leaving sarcastic comments on message boards is one of them.
Try replacing the batteries. That’s often the reason for this type of thing.
Is anybody able to contact Pedro Pascal ?
That’s understandable. Would that even be possible, though?
“attracting” companies like Intel that are on the BDS boycott list is not really a good look for Linux.
Thank you, that’s an important distinction. I hope they can be trusted to live up to that. However it still feels l pretty problematic to bring them in and would be a lot of opting in to debate and implement. It remains a pretty big violation of user privacy and trust and it says here:
As if that weren’t bad enough, preparations for the sale went poorly, and it seems large categories of Tumblr posts that weren’t supposed to be sold were added to the mix anyway. That data includes:
Private posts from public accounts
Posts on deleted or suspended accounts
Unanswered asks
Private answers
Explicit posts
Posts from partner accounts, like ad campaigns where Tumblr doesn't own the rights. (Apple is specifically named here.)
One advantage over wordpress is that it avoids bringing its parent company, Automatic, into the Fediverse.
From Wikipedia:
In February 2024, Automattic announced that it would begin selling user data from Tumblr and WordPress to Midjourney and OpenAI.
That’s a good point. I generally copy the title verbatim from the article but as you’ve pointed out it’s a bit misleading. This is definitely not magic.
It says the technology is similar but doesn’t get into any specific comparison so I don’t exactly read it the same way. This is a very brief and basic article that may not answer all your questions. I’m sure there is more to come.
It does go on to say:
According to the study, the device is more efficient than other existing atmospheric water generators because it uses a “novel rotating operational strategy, in which one module works in the desorption, while the others work in the adsorption simultaneously … to keep the device harvesting water continuously.”
The technology could also be used for purposes ranging from dehumidification to agriculture irrigation to thermal management for electronic devices.
It also mentions similar devices being used in areas such as Sand Branch Texas outside of Dallas. Your question is import and and while I can’t answer it as thoroughly as I’d like I imagine these issues were in consideration when working on this and whether or not they’ll be successful is something we’ll find out soon.
Would be interested in hearing more from the community.
Haha. Maybe not the inventors but, given the high price of this technology, it seems like someone along the supply chain did.
Thank you. And those are only the confirmed dead. There are thousands more missing and presumably dead under the rubble.
You’re grasping at straws to try to invalidate me instead of saying anything that would back up your point making your argument weaker. There was no repetition from me so if you’ve heard this before it would seem you’ve had this discussion before and may benefit from listening. Perhaps you shouldn’t respond if you have nothing to say
A better example of a pogrom might be the killing of over 30,000 civilian Palestinians and simultaneously starving them to death with blockade following 75 years of occupation and a century of colonialism. Proportionality matters and it doesn’t favor your argument
One need not pretend something that is already factually accurate. This was a retaliation and direct response for Israel bombing Iran’s consulate in Syria on April 1. This is why Iran targeted and struck the Negev air force base ( which contains US F-35s used to bomb Gaza ) as that is the base from which that attack originated. This is also why Iran says it now considers the matter “concluded” and warned the US and Israel against further reprisals. Those are facts and not “pretending” so if you are going to “pretend” this isn’t true and try to distort the matter I’m not interested.
Yeah, true in many cases. The post was about Cameron so that’s the only director I’m addressing at the moment but the industry is definitely filled with people using their “art” to excuse their bad and often abusive behavior like you said. There’s a lot of very concentrated power to abuse.
