Just now on www.abc.net.au/listen/progr... watermarking of GenAI (images) was mentioned in passing.
I remember a push during the 1990s for print media to identify ‘shopped photos. Anyone able to summarise why it failed back then?

Please #Don’tUseGenAI, but if anyone wants to preempt my doodling of a logo for cadaver dogs then please go ahead. I was imagining using bones as compass points, surrounding some dog silhouette, over either realistic human skeleton or X X eyes cartoon figure. Not associated with similar website.

Nearly 3 months ownership of new BYD Shark 6 PHEV, and I still get asked by strangers about it ~once per week. I used to list pros/cons, but now I just say I don’t recommend it. I have at least a hundred complaints that started as ‘observations’, but the company and dealer have been *so* bad at..

It’s been 25y since I had an electricity meter or bill, but took a look at the neighbour’s today, and sheesh! Origin Energy sure hates their customers, don’t they. ‘Smart meter’ is definitely a step backwards - in terms I expect most people would want. Paper bill seems deliberately hard to read.

I didn’t think the Optus Network Status page which has been horrible for decades would ever change - but they have somehow made it even worse.
Mobile signal has just returned - no indication on their website what the problem was, or even if they were aware of it.

Occasionally when I would switch off AC power at home, my LED bed lamp powered by 230VAC -> USB A ‘block’ would briefly flash every five seconds or so. Turns out new mobile phone when plugged into adjacent USB C socket provides power to it.

If following a purchase, a website requests feedback, but sends me (also through ‘contact us’ link) to a google site that will only proceed with a google account - not the email I used with the merchant - then that seller is not really serious about receiving my feedback.

It’s not normally recognised as a name, and ever since the ‘00s causes certain databases to corrupt my surname- time after time. Not fun.

Why is Israel invading Gaza again?
To commit as much genocide as they can get away with.
What about Hamas?
Just as US politicians say "crime" whenever they call for more state repression, today "Hamas" is simply the noise Israeli politicians make to mean "We're going to murder more Palestinians."

Just received a cudgel blow to the skull - 1 hit point of damage, immediately withdrew from (weeding) battle, followed by several disoriented turns. Realise now how lucky it wasn’t far worse to my eye, mouth, or throat.
