Instagram costs around 12€/month if you don't agree to targeted ads (EU).

Mandatory for the time being. They can change the directive if they deem it necessary in case of new tech.

I wouldn't call them obscure. Their hair products are very well known. Hoping they aren't as popular anymore, but I don't have that kind of trust in people...

This. In general it refers to social awkwardness related to autism. Heard it used mostly as a slur/insult where I live.

And some automation I have no problems with. However, if corporations would rather use AI than hire creatives, the creatives will have to look for other work and likely won't have a space to express their creativity, not at work nor during leisure time (no time, exhaustion, etc.). Something should be done so it doesn't go there. Preemptively. Not after everything's gone to shit. I don't see the people defending AI from the copyright stuff even acknowledging the issue. Holding up the copyright card, currently, is the easiest way to try an avoid this happening.

The reality is that people hate the corporations using creative peoples works to try and make their jobs basically obsolete and they grab onto anything to fight against it, even if it's a bit of a stretch.

I'd hate a world lacking real human creativity.

You have to opt-out. I got an email from meta with a link to the form. Doesn't seem to matter really what you write. It got approved in less than a minute for me. I think they purposfully made it look like it's more work than it's worth.

The period will eventually push through.

Tho I'd say the main reason all women of the world don't use it is because birth control has side effects that can be very severe. Think mood swing that leave the person suicidal. A lot of the less severe side effects might still not be worth it depending how bad the period would be. It might be painful, but just for 4-7 days, whereas birth control side effects are 24/7.

The US wasn't even the first to ban it. In 1937 Marijuana Tax act was passed that effectively prohobited it, but a full ban came in 1970. Countries that banned it before 1937 include, but are not limited to: Thailand, Irish free state, Romania, UK, Indonesia, Australia, Lebanon, Sudan, Italy, Panama, Canada, South Africa, Mexico, Jamaica, Greece, Singapore...

Kirjastojärjestelmissä (tai ainakin niissä joita itse on tullut käytettyä) henkilötiedot voi teoriassa löytää millä tahansa tiedolla, joka sinne on tallennettu. Mikään ei siis estä päivänä x asioimasta henkilökortilla ja päivänä y kirjastokortilla. Omatoimisia lainausautomaatteja ei yleensä opeteta hakemaan tietoja muulla kuin kirjastokortin numerolla, eli asioinnin pitää tapahtua palvelutiskillä, jos on vain henkilökortti mukana. Pelkällä esim. puhelinnumerolla emme tietenkään mitään lainaile, vaikka sillä asiakastiedot löytyisivätkin.

With medication it tends to be pretty important to know what was taken, when it was taken and how much was taken. Leaving the meds with the pt means you can't know for sure when and how much was taken, or if anything was taken at all. And that's a problem. How's a doctor supposed to make any decision with care if they don't know for sure whether the patient has been getting the meds as ordered?

It's not really about the AI content being a violation or not though is it. It's more about a corporation using copyrighted content without permission to make their product better.
