It might be nice if auto reviewers included a "privacy rating" for a vehicle based OK whether it broadcasts anything via radio (e.g. cell or tire-pressure systems can be used to identify someone). It's not just auto manufacturers, but anyone who wants to set up a radio monitoring network, if there are unique IDs being broadcast.

I don't know how a reviewer could know whether there's a way for a manufacturer to gather logs during maintenance.

I can't imagine that it'd be possible to do that and conform to building code without some kind of special exemption.

Honestly, I'd think that if there's demand for a leaning pub like that -- and I think there is...I mean, I've heard about that thing repeatedly, seen video in it, and I live in the US -- it'd be easier to just build one whose owners want to run one, let them gave whatever building code exemptions are required. IIRC, that pub is kind of out of the way, not really where one would expect to put a new pub, given the choice.

AGI is not a new term. It’s been in use since the 90s and the concept has been around for much longer.

It's not new today, but it post-dates "AI" and hit the same problem then.

VS Code is going to require a newer version of glibc than Ubuntu 18.04 comes with. One does not simply upgrade glibc.

One might have an application-private newer build of glibc and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the directory containing it prior to launching VS Code.

If she's the only alternative in the primary race and he has a heart attack or something, I would assume that she winds up becoming the Republican nominee.

I believe that it is, in fact, an area of focus right now. I see Stable Diffusion papers coming out on the SD community and the Midjourney guys were putting in text synthesis work in their most recent update.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Russia

Under the reign of Peter the Great in the 18th, who introduced a wide range of reforms aimed at modernizing and Westernizing Russia, there was a ban on male homosexual activity, but only in military statutes for soldiers.

Historian Dan Healey, whose 2001 book Homosexual Desire in Revolutionary Russia was translated into Russian in 2008, argues that despite several prohibitive laws sexuality was considerably less regulated in pre-revolutionary Russia than elsewhere in Europe at that time. Several researchers claim that historical accounts show that before the 18th century, Russian society held rather lenient views toward homosexuality, and that homophobia was at least in part “imported” from Europe by Peter the Great — along with European traditions in food, architecture and fashion.

Stage 1: Be Western! Move away from this Eastern gay sex, at least for soldiers!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Russia

In 1832, the criminal code included Article 995, which stated that "muzhelozhstvo", or men lying with men, was a criminal act punishable by exile to Siberia for up to 5 years. Men lying with men was interpreted by courts as meaning anal sex.

Stage 2: Be Western: No gay sex for men in general!

Application of the laws was rare, and the turn of the century found a relaxation of these laws and a general growing of tolerance and visibility.

Stage 3: Westernization stuff is nonsense, back to sex in the butt.

In the wake of the October Revolution, the Bolshevik regime decriminalized homosexuality. The Bolsheviks rewrote the constitution and "produced two Criminal Codes – in 1922 and 1926 – and an article prohibiting homosexual sex was left off both."[22]

Stage 4: Lenin says sex in the butt is okay! We'll show the West how society should properly be organized!

The new Communist Party government removed the old laws regarding sexual relations, effectively legalising homosexual and transgender activity within Russia, although it remained illegal in other territories of the Soviet Union,

...but only in Russia. Not like those backwards other SSRs!

...and the homosexuals in Russia were still persecuted and sacked from their jobs.[22]

Though clearly, not everyone was onboard with the Russian government's program.

Under Joseph Stalin, the Soviet Union recriminalized homosexuality in a decree signed in 1933.[23] The new Article 121, which punished "muzhelozhstvo" with imprisonment for up to 5 years, saw raids and arrests. Female homosexuals were sent to mental institutions. The decree was part of a broader campaign against "deviant" behavior and "Western degeneracy".[22]

Stage 5: Western stuff is nonsense! Stalin says sex in the butt is Western, and it isn't okay!

Following Stalin's death, there was a liberalisation of attitudes toward sexual issues in the Soviet Union, but homosexual acts remained illegal. Discrimination against LGBT individuals persisted in the Soviet era, and homosexuality was not officially declassified as a mental illness until 1999.[24]

Stage 6: Sex in the butt isn't quite as bad, but it's still not okay!

2023:

Stage 7: Western stuff is bad! NATO is sex in the butt! Fight against sex in the butt!

I feel like there are some kinda bipolar views about the Western or non-Western nature of political positions on homosexuality going on here.

Tineye says that it's from the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. This article is referenced -- so I assume that these are Dutch competitors -- but it has a different story and images visible there, talking about badminton.

I think that it's the Dutch women's relay team.

There's probably room in Australia for both an instance with and an instance without "cunt" in titles. In fact, with the existing instances and this one, one has a sufficient number of instances to cover all permutations of policy on each of at least three profane words being permitted in titles.
