Czytam, że po wprowadzeniu billingu "za użycie" oraz wysokich rachunków za CoPilota, ludzie masowo rezygnują z usługi.To przypomnę o bardzo starej zasadzie: inwestując swój cenny czas w poznanie technologii, dobrze jest wiedzieć, że ta technologia nie zostanie nam odebrana. Wtedy inwestowanie czasu ma sens.Dlatego IMO warto inwestować czas w Open Source. Raz, że to pcha do przodu całą ludzkość w rozwoju, dwa, że mamy zabezpieczenie w postaci wolnych licencji. No i kod na dysku.Wszystkie moje inwestycje czasowe poczynione np. w Debiana, od późnych lat '90 ubiegłego wieku, nie poszły na zmarnowanie. Działam z Debianem (czy Ubuntu) dalej. Sporo mnie nauczył.A nowych "magicznych" technologii, obiecujących nie-wiadomo-co, pojawiło się i zniknęło przez ten czas sporo.Tak mi przyszło do głowy, że wiele osób znów zostało wykorzystanych przez BigTech. I zostali z niczym (albo prawie niczym) :/

Dutch news usually only use Firstname L. for suspected criminals, that doesn't work if you use the brother's full last name in the article. Then you aren't actually protecting the alleged criminal

Fixed three instance crashes.

What we are working on Part 2 The opening weekend of Path of Exile 2: Return of the Ancients is finished, so it’s time to take stock and talk about what we are working on, and what still needs to be improved. The main issues that we were focusing on over the weekend were a significant number of progression blocking bugs in endgame quests. If you run into these, it effectively ends your progress, so they are rated as incredibly critical. Almost all the progression blockers we know about have now been fixed, but sometimes it’s not incredibly clear in the hotfix notes, so if you did get stuck, we would encourage you to try again. In some cases the fixes might require you to rerun some content. We are also working through the list of the most common crashes that players experience. We have made a pretty good headway here already, but there are still more fixes to make. In addition to these simple bug fixes though, there are a few other things we are looking to address over the next week. General Endgame We are adding a large number of new atlas tree nodes which add more content to specific biomes. Once we add them, the points for these nodes will be added to existing maps, so you will get them automatically if you have already completed those maps. There is currently a bug where you can’t independently map from two different hideouts while in a party. The atlas will remember where it was opened to if you reopen it in the same area. Some players experience a black screen during quest events that open the atlas. We are investigating the cause of this. Ritual When doing the Rite of the Nameless you can currently change your mind about which maps you picked. This allows you to potentially see more mods than if you didn’t do that. This isn’t as bad as it first appears because all the mods that you can see are prerolled, and it only selects in that set, but technically it’s advantageous to do this. We will be changing the system to effectively lock in each choice. It’s currently possible to get 100% ritual reroll cost reduction. This mechanic is still limited by the number of rerolls you can do per area, but it’s possible through various mechanics to legitimately increase this to fairly high values. We will be capping this stat to 90% for safety. We are turning off the knockback on the Blood Waves ritual mechanic. The Mysterious Rites node needs a buff to its rewards. Delirium Currently it’s possible to fail a Delirium by moving forward too quickly, especially if the fog is paused by doing another league mechanic. We will make this no longer possible. Breach Breach hive colony monsters are getting stuck and not pathing sometimes. This often results in the combat of these encounters being very underwhelming. The Tear Open The Rift notable will be made multi choice and have another bonus added as it’s not always good for all players. Instead of replacing the Rare monsters in Stabilised Breaches, Vruun will now spawn after you have defeated them. This means that getting Vruun will not compromise your investment into rare monsters. Runes of Aldur We are turning off the knockback on the Tidal Waves runeshape mechanic. The Pinnacle boss uniques that are crafted from Ore are currently not set to the correct item level. This means that the skills are lower level than was intended. Character Balance and Fixes Some extra quality stats on gems that came from the Gemling Legionnaire were missing descriptions, or had incorrect descriptions. These are getting fixed. We are adding some new Elemental Damage Clusters to the passive tree near Jewel slots to make elemental conversion jewels more useful. We are changing Heavy Stun state to be saved when logging out, preventing abuse where you log out when you are stunned, or near to being stunned. We will be adding a new rare Lineage support to Atziri which will allow you to reserve Life instead of Spirit on reservation gems. Other General Fixes Using Click to Move on skills with the “Always Attack Without Moving” option turned on while also holding down the button to move causes some strange behavior where the character stutters or moves when you didn’t expect. Strongbox keywords shouldn’t be clickable unless you are holding Alt to prevent misclicks. The MTX shop is not currently showing “Already Owned” on some stash tabs. Controller Only: We will be adding Magic/Rare/Boss weighting back into the targeting system and making this a preference that can be modified. We are looking into some other reported targeting issues on Keyboard/Mouse where skills are not going where you intend them to. Fix to missing drops on Pinnacle bosses when respawning in some cases. Campaign Improvements While we did go a long way to making the campaign smoother, we have some other things that we plan to do over the next week. Farrow will reveal the location of his quest objectives when talking to him in campaign areas. Singing Caverns: We will make the mechanic of listening to which direction the siren is singing from more obvious so you can find her more easily. Journey’s End: We will add a portal from the boss back to the NPC to make it more obvious that you need to continue the quest. Mechanarium: We will make it so that if you checkpoint back to the start, you no longer have to wait for power to be slowly restored. Halls of the Dead: We will make the location of the objects that give you permanent character boosts more obvious. Azak Bog: Completing the fire ritual in the center of the zone will point you in the direction of the boss. The Shark Fin quest currently has a confusing state where you had to do a bit of optional dialogue in order to get the option to turn in it. Controller Trade Improvements Added a button to swap the currency pair while editing a trade. Added a button to copy one of your active trades so that you can easily sell more of those items. Added a button to open Sale History. Added text search back to the top level of the trade UI. Adjusted text sizes in some elements.

0.5.0b Hotfix 10 Jewellers Orbs can now be applied to skills granted by items (such as Unique Items) via the Skill Gems panel interface, in addition to being applicable to the source item itself. The Suspicious Rock Pet microtransactions have been re-enabled. Fixed an issue where the Faded Crisis Fragment was already socketed into the Sealed Passage in The Burning Monolith after your first Arbiter of Ash kill. Added a search textbox for filtering Trade Market items when playing with a controller. Improved the Currency Exchange UI when playing with a controller: Added a button to swap the currency pair while editing a trade. Added a button to copy one of your active trades so that you can more easily sell more of those items. Added a button to open Sale History. Added text search back to the trade UI. Adjusted text sizes in some elements. Fixed five client crashes. Fixed an instance crash. You will need to restart your client to receive the client-side changes in this hotfix. These client changes are not yet on consoles, but will be deployed in a patch to them shortly.

Google has processed billions of DMCA takedown requests during the first months of the year. Reporting agency Link-Busters remains the top sender. While its dominance remains, the company appears to have hit a takedown ceiling of roughly 70 million URLs per week. Google won’t confirm whether there’s a limit on the notices it processes and says that trusted parties “can submit the quantity they need.”

#SPOIWO w mediach:"Kolonializm cyfrowy zamiast suwerenności. Czy Polska oddała niepodległość Big Techom?Współczesne pole bitwy o niezależność państwową nie rozgrywa się na granicach geograficznych, lecz w serwerowniach i chmurach obliczeniowych. W rozmowie z Polską Agencją Prasową ekonomista dr Jan Oleszczuk-Zygmuntowski bezlitośnie punktuje bierność polskich decydentów, ostrzegając, że brak suwerenności cyfrowej sprowadza nas do roli technologicznej kolonii. Co gorsza, ignorowanie tego problemu może w przyszłości nieść za sobą poważne konsekwencje prawne i konstytucyjne.(...)Szansą na zmianę paradygmatu ma być nowo powoływany sojusz SPOIWO (Sojusz Przyjaciół Otwartego i Wolnego Oprogramowania). Jego celem jest promowanie oprogramowania typu Open Source (otwartego kodu) w administracji publicznej. Transparentność kodu źródłowego gwarantuje, że państwowe systemy są bezpieczne, odporne na zagraniczne wpływy, a publiczne pieniądze nie zasilają kont zagranicznych monopoli.Budowa cyfrowej suwerenności nie jest barierą technologiczną czy finansową – to wyłącznie kwestia odwagi i woli politycznej, której w Polsce wciąż brakuje."Całość:https://strefabiznesu.pl/kolonializm-cyfrowy-zamiast-suwerennosci-czy-polska-oddala-niepodleglosc-big-techom/ar/c12p2-29054905#SPOIWOwMediach #WolneOprogramowanie #OpenSource #SuwerennośćCyfrowa
