Faith in humanity or not, everyone makes mistakes. Look both ways, kids.

A reasonable copyright is a good thing - it gives authors a limited period of exclusivity on their work, after which it becomes a part of our general culture. What people are upset about, I think, is how the biggest companies are "allowed’ to violate copyright in the name of business, while the rest of us are not.

Traducción automática porque mi nivel de español en DuoLingo es solo 35):

Un derecho de autor razonable es algo positivo: otorga a los autores un periodo limitado de exclusividad sobre su obra, tras la cual pasa a formar parte de nuestra cultura general. Lo que a la gente le molesta, creo, es cómo a las empresas más grandes se les “permite” violar los derechos de autor en nombre de los negocios, mientras que el resto de nosotros no.

in America, apparently if you crime hard enough and big enough they stop putting you in prison and start patting you on the back and calling it good business sense.

If you owe the bank $100 you have a problem. If you owe the bank $100,000,000, the bank has a problem.

Which is kind of a pity. Anyone who’s ever written something on the net should be getting royalty checks from these fucks. I’m not exactly famous but I’ve written prolifically in my field of work and have gotten nearly word-for-word reproductions of my articles out of every big model I’ve tested since GPT-3.

I wouldn’t recommend it then 😞

How rich are you?

As long as you’re rich enough to hire your own army of lawyers, probably.

That said, it seems like when you’re rich enough to hire your own army of lawyers you can pretty much do whatever you want.

No, I expect they’ll be more like “rules for thee but not for me”

It was hard work, I’m sure, but now you’ve got it made! I mean, now it’s easy street for you, right? Nothing but champagne dreams and caviar wishes, right?

Oh thank god.

Pshaw, I wish they were doing something as cool as that.

Why would you downvote something you’re not even interested in without looking at it? You’re not feeding an algorithm here — your downvote doesn’t affect what content you’ll see in the future, it just makes it appear to others that the content had been downvoted.

Upvote content you like. Downvote content you actively don’t like.

JSON is like the carcinization of programming

Admittedly, we were not very good at this particular job.

Physics -> chemistry -> biology. The further you zoom in, the more you come to grips with the just staggering number of hugely improbable events that lead to us being here. I feel bad for people who need to invoke religion to explain this, as it really hides the beauty of it all.

It’s times like this I’m glad I speak Gen Alpha.

I will 100% be using “length disadvantaged timeline” in my next planning meeting

This is at least in part because Tesla is shifting manufacturing over to humanoid robots because he has to make a million of them to get his trillion dollar payout. His stupid shareholders are essentially paying him to nuke the company (unless you believe the humanoid robot hype)

For some accounts I do. For most I don’t.

Get a used kobo. An aura or h2o can be had for $50 or less on eBay and will do all that you need, has a battery you can actually replace, and has an active 3rd party software community if you find the default (perfectly good) software lacking.
