The whole “tech industry” naming is bulllshit, there is more technology let’s say in composite used to build an aircraft wing or in a surgerical robots, than in yet another mobile app showing you ads
The whole tech sector also tend to be over evaluated on the stock market. In no world Apple is worth 3 trillion while coca cola or airbus are worth around 200 billions
Legal way ? So let’s behave like social democrats, you know these tender fleshed leftists who run away before being tear-gazed by the police, write petition and support political candidates.
Build an organization like Town inhabitant against mass tourist and find a few other people annoyed. At this moment you’re not just a pissed-of Karen or a punk-kid, but a politcal lobby like any other and it gives you some weight when aksing stuff to official
An easy way would be either a petition to the mayor, or an open letter in the local newspaper. It doesn’t force the mayor to do anything but show him that some people are pissed off.
If it’s not sufficient, organize a protest, it usually require some paperwork/coordination with the local police but it’s absolutely possible to have legally 50 pissed of inhabitants holding signs while walking from the beach to the townhall. Not only it would frighten tourists but put some pressure over the mayor
Take appointment with the political parties running the town, both in the majority and opposition factions
If you’re organization is big enough, get some legal advises form a lawyer, an example is how these Greek locals decided to use their right to sit on “private beach” and got a court order to remove the illegal extension of these private beach and get them fined (I believe that there is a minimum space between the end of the private beach and the sea and some operator weren’t respecting that law)
Most likely : Someone script kiddie tried to attack-it, and some user had a week password. There is tons of bot farm attacking any device connected to the internet all the time, as indiviual, we usually have a firewall/router between our PC and internet (so the whole family gets wifi), and keep all the “remote access services” off. But a telescope is typically the kind of infrastructure where “remote access” is necessary meaning that you’re a target for attacker
It’s actually quite simple, go there https://gpt4all.io/index.html Install the program, get the Wizard model, and you’re done
Got one for over a decade (unfortunately, one evening after removing it to clean it I forgot it, now I need to redo it).
Nobody would notice it. A small bump is visible, especially over a tight T shirt, but people don’t expect to see one anyway, so they don’t notice.
I got mine done because I was too afraid of people reaction about a banal earring, so I am confident that not many did notice.
It’s been like 20 years that, at least where I am there is automatic speed camera and a zero tolerance policy, people get fine and loose points even for small speeding so if you want to keep your licence, no choice
Not stopping at a stop? This looks dangerous like hell. Please think about the kid on a bike who might have the right of way, let her live
Correct it includes colour keying, and some basic image and sound filter.
For an amateur who want to edit video 4x a year, having some basic effect included is great. This is where TikTok/cap cut is great and win in the public heart, in 2 clicks you have a nice face, look 10 years younger, and not like someone who was in night club the whole night and already has grey hairs. As a user, I want a suite which can do everything easily rather than needing 3 softwares.
I used a bit kdenlive (and no experience with professional grade productsm, IMO it’s a sufficient alternative for a home project, where the most advanced effect you’ll need would be a green screen.
But feel like these professional grade programs are “blacked magic” compared to kdenlive. The few video tutorial I’ve seen show they have crazy effects. Not a big deal because I have no idea on how to use them, but definitely an issue for a pro.
For an amateur but proprietary the gopro app is crazy, you give it a few rushes, choose a music, a target social media, a style and on 3 click you have a video ready to be published
Covid has show me the exact opposite. Governments saying this is fine, keep going out less than a week before ordering a full lock down. Karens and Karims (is that the male for Karen?) going crazy about something as easy as stay home and less than a year latter, people openly couching in public without even a mask
We’re still cooperating a lot with China, despite all she human rights concerns.
Some billionaire like Frenchman Bolloré are using the same strategy as Musk and Murdoch to push their propaganda and far right does well in elections
While we are a it more economically progressive than US, it’s not like gay rights or drug legalisation or even abortion are widely accepted.
