Well, a software (I.e. a. exe file) is a long list of numbers. Some are commands like “do something when the user clicks there”, some are data, like text on a button.
If you are very familiar with those intricacies, you can change a few bytes here or there to change what the program does.


Just like Linux 20 years ago.


When I was still in school, I was the computer nerd. A doctor in town, who’s son was in my class, asked me to fix an annoyance he had with a software he used. He offered a generous compensation. It took me less than an hour to analyze and patch the program on the binary level. On a per hour base, I earned more money than he normally did…


Neil Gaiman. I’m afraid there won’t be a third season of Good Omens.
It is better for rasterized images that are not photos. In most cases, SVG is better for drawings as such. As in “don’t even start this raszerizing shit”.
There are photos, where JPG is way better. On the other hand, I often use SVG for drawings, it simply scales way better. PNG is somewhere in the middle.


In Europe, the taxes are taken out of the game, not out of the prices. So the lottery pays out only half of the money taken in, but at least the cash price amounts are honest numbers.
Looks like Americans like to be pulled over in slices:
Restaurant food, the menu lists prices, but you basically have to add the servers pay on top.
Shopping, the price tags list product prices, but you have to add a number of taxes on top of it.
Taxation, taxes are low, but you have to pay for a lot of things like health care and education through the nose.


More B=softer=darker, but also losing sharpness faster
More H=harder=lighter, but keeps its point longer.
I’ve got a range of pencils from 4B to 6H. Every pencil hardness has its use.


Being catholic, I never heard bigger bullshit in my life. Is that an American thing?


The data you produce is copyrighted by you, so it already has a very strong protection. The problem is that AI companies care shit about the law, and you’ll have to sue them in order to even get their attention. Good luck with that as a single, private person, when even bigwigs like Disney have problems here.


So now we know it is possible, it is time to replicate that success worldwide.


Give them European fuel prices, and they’ll convert quickly.


Given his long list of failures and placing the most incompetent people into important positions, this ship will most likely do a Wasa on launch.
It could be worse. I’ve seen a MC cover singer. Not only that she could not really sing, but she was wearing a costume like MC wore in the video. All while having several clothing sizes more…
Looks like he misses the brain to understand this. If I only had a dollar for every stupid conservative…


This is the best advertizing they can get to spread it wide and far.


It’s one of the American Nazi symbols the US failed to ban.
No, there are tools like “hex editors” that allow to edit a file in a more controlled way. I don’t think opening a binary file in notepad would do anything good to that file…
