The dictatorship of President Daniel Ortega has found Nicaraguan parish priest Óscar Benavidez guilty of “conspiracy to undermine national security” and “spreading fake news,” with a requested sentence of 8 years in prison. Father Benavidez, who was “removed from his vehicle and taken by patrol car to an unknown destination” in August 2022, was later known to be incarcerated in the infamous El Chipote prison, where torture is regularly used on critics of the Ortega regime. The priest was arrested just days before Bishop Rolando Alvarez of Matagalpa suffered a similar fate together with eight others, including five priests. Bishop Álvarez was finally charged formally in December after months in jail, accused of the identical crimes of “conspiracy to undermine the integrity of the nation” and “spreading false news.” Benavidez’ diocese of Siuna requested prayers for the priest, whose “sole mission is and has been to announce the good news of Jesus Christ, who is the word of … [Read more...] about Nicaragua Convicts Catholic Priest of ‘Conspiracy,’ ‘Fake News’

Like any social media platform, Truth Social relies on advertising to drive revenue, but as Twitter’s highly publicized struggle to retain advertisers has shown, it’s hard to attract major brands when a company’s content moderation capabilities appear undependable. That’s likely why Truth Social—which prides itself on sparking an “open, free, and honest global conversation” by largely avoiding content moderation altogether—has seemingly attracted no major advertisers. A New York Times analysis of hundreds of Truth Social ads showed that the social media platform’s strategy for scraping by is taking ads from just about anyone. Currently, the platform, which was founded by former president Donald Trump, is attracting ad dollars from “hucksters and fringe marketers” who are peddling products like Trump tchotchkes, gun accessories, and diet pills, the Times reported. In addition to Truth Social’s apparently struggling ad business, SFGate reported in November that Truth Social’s … [Read more...] about Report: Truth Social ads dominated by fake merchandise, misleading users

Even though both Windows and its users have made the jump to the 21st century, there’s still some lingering 1990s-era annoyances hiding out in the OS including Windows’ tenacious desire to create thumbnail files (and then refusing to delete them). Read on as we solve the “File In Use” deletion error problem. What’s the Problem? When you’re tidying files, deleting older archives, or otherwise cleaning up after yourself it’s not uncommon to run into  the very annoying “File In Use” error. The way the error crops up usually goes like this. You look at a folder, decide you no longer need said folder and its contents, but when you attempt to delete the folder you get an error message that looks like this. Windows will happily delete the contents of the folder but it won’t delete the folder and the “Thumbs.db” file will persist. You can click “Try Again” all day and it won’t budge. Yet if you move on in frustration and sort and purge more folders you’ll find that you can then return … [Read more...] about Fix “File In Use” Deletion Errors On Network Drives by Disabling Windows Thumbnail Generation

Correction: Following the publication of this piece, the Trans Cultural Mindfulness Alliance group claimed their original post criticizing Aretha Franklin’s “Natural Woman” as anti-transgender was “satirical.” The Trans Cultural Mindfulness Alliance’s Twitter bio has been updated to say “PARODY/SATIRE.” Our story has been updated accordingly. The story continues below. Members of the transsexual movement want Aretha Franklin’s 1968 hit “Natural Woman” banned. Standing for Women Founder Kellie-Jay Keen told Australia’s Sky News it’s “really hard” to ignore the “misogyny” of the trans-rights movement when Aretha’s classic song is attacked as offensive to trans-women. This might surprise some of you but I actually see where the trans-women (fake or not) are coming from here. If I were a man pretending to be a woman, I would also find the term “natural woman” offensive. Imagine you’re one of these mentally-damaged crossdressers, okay? You’re standing there with a … [Read more...] about Nolte: Aretha Franklin Hit ‘Natural Woman’ Decried by Fake Transgender Activists

What just happened? In addition to concerns about AI-generated content taking human jobs, it seems there are also questions regarding the material these tools are trained on. In the case of the art-creating systems Stable Diffusion and Midjourney, their developers are being sued alongside portfolio site DeviantArt by three artists for allegedly violating copyright laws. AI-powered content-generating tools have seen their popularity explode in recent months, but it hasn't stopped the controversy that surrounds them. That's been especially true of systems that create art. The problem was highlighted last September when the Colorado State Fair's contest for emerging digital artists was by Jason M. Allen, who created his entry using Midjourney. Midjourney and Stable Diffusion are trained on billions of images. In the case of the latter, it uses selected datasets from the LAION-5B project, a collection of 5 billion images and associated descriptive captions created by a German-based … [Read more...] about Artists launch copyright lawsuit against AI art generators Stable Diffusion and Midjourney
