When uploading images from windows (but not from the mac) .avif files are not included in the supported image types, even though they in fact work. These are common for news outlets to use, and I’m manually uploading to get them used as thumbnails.

Known bug?

One more upgrade thing I’m noticing: the way the UI elements move around repeatedly during post submission makes it much easier to accidentally double-post.

One more oddity since the upgrade:

cross-posting doesn’t work cleanly anymore.

When you click the cross-post button, it pre-fills the contents of the form for submitting to another community, but as soon as you select a community to cross-post into, it clears the contents.

After the upgrade, I wound up setting my theme to litely to get more legible fonts; the default theme has fonts that aren’t pleasant to read.

A lot of engineering was done assuming that rainfall behaved the way it did in the past. That’s not a valid assumption anymore.

Those numbers are better than a lot of other similar platforms, but aren’t the kind of takeoff that results in a mass audience.

The value is that it shows people who aren’t using EVs yet what’s available

The ML tool is a summary of the directions. That’s a plausible use of ML

The article says nothing about AI; just that EV charger location and availability is a feature being added to Google Maps.

Because it’s a pain to go do (and was especially so in the film era) and it change what the photo conveys in a meaningful way.

Think of for example a photo like this, showing anti-civil-rights protesters in 1969:

Blurring the faces would meaningfully obscure what was going on, and confuse people about who held what kinds of views.

In the US, kinda sorta.

Advertisers are liable if they use your likeness to promote a product, imply endorsement, or otherwise make commercial use of it without your consent. This gives you the right to sue, which is worth absolutely nothing when you’re dealing with a shady overseas shell company hawking fake Viagra.

News organizations, artists, and random private individuals can publish a photo or other image of you taken in a place where you do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy without having to contact you or have your consent. This is important: think of trying to share a photograph of a public event, and having to track down people in the background, or create public awareness when you photograph politician committing a crime.

It’s considered a civil dispute. You can sue to those using your face in an ad for monetary damages, which in practice means you’re trying to sue an overseas shell corporation with no assets, and can’t get anything, so no lawyer will represent you.
