Sure, it's silly to judge those highly religious people. Maybe we can judge the religion on the work of the Papacy... Though that doesn't give great results either They definitely misread "let the little children come to me"

Pre-LLMs Steve Krug wrote "Don't make me think" Now we come to a generation of random UIs that will confuse the life out of users and, being non deterministic, be a nightmare for support teams; though they'll probably have no real support, just more llms.

You can use Mozilla SOPS instead with IAM roles and KMS instead of gpg. They also shifted to AGE over gpg.

The Tories used new legislation to restrict protests, sliced away at union powers even introducing law stating the gov can force 'essential' workers back to work, created and pushed through the Online Safety act (then left labour to enforce it). And that was only in the few years mess under May/Boris/Rishi

"Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022: Expands police powers to restrict protests based on "serious disruption," including imposing noise limits and start/finish times, reported the BBC.

Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Act 2023: Enables employers to mandate service levels during strikes in sectors like health, transport, and fire services, effectively curbing union power, notes Labour Research.

Public Order Act 2023: Introduced further measures against "disruptive" protest tactics, such as locking on, often used by environmental protestors, explain Sage Journals and peoplesmomentum.com.

Nationality and Borders Act 2022: Critiqued for undermining international refugee law and introducing differential treatment for asylum seekers based on their method of arrival, write Sage Journals.

Judicial Review and Courts Act 2022: Critics argue this act weakens judicial oversight, reducing the ability of citizens to challenge government decisions in court, says Zara Sultana on TikTok.

Online Safety Act 2023: While aimed at protecting users, some critics raised concerns about potential impacts on free speech and the regulation of content, suggest Sage Journals. "

It's focus stacking so basically just compensating for the way macro lenses and large apertures work. There's nothing artificial about it, the software is just layering the sharpest parts into the photo. It's a common technique, heavily used for things like astro photography and landscape photography as well. https://www.canon.co.uk/get-inspired/tips-and-techniques/foc...
