Public tracker: You are the hero, getting a 30:1 upload ratio in a mere 30 days. “Wow, this shit is easy!”
Private tracker: “Please… can this torrent even reach 10% upload? It’s been an ENTIRE YEAR! I have 500 torrents in the same state!”
I’ve lost more of these old GIFs than I realized when gfycat shut down.
This seems like the kind of thing that should be bookmarked and thrown in corporations’ faces at every moment.
Israel isn’t Judaism and Judaism isn’t Israel! Mixing that up is problematic because you’re confounding anti-zionism (a settler colonial state project committing genocide) with anti-semitism.
Mixing that up is intentional, so that you can be accused of being antisemitic by not supporting Israel. Politicians love to do this.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has seized the domain names of several gaming-related pirate sites, including NSW2U.com, which has been Nintendo’s nemesis for years.
Ahhh, there’s the real reason. Nintendo put pressure on the FBI, because Nintendo.
Same company acquired two very similar apps.
One required a $14/year subscription, the other $90/year
So, why are you using a subscription at all, and not a free and open source app?
You know what Blender is? It’s the industry standard. Why is it the industry standard? Because it’s free, open-source GPL, it can never be taken away from you, it can never be “acquired”, everybody’s using it, and everybody is contributing towards improving it. Nobody is bitching about how Blender is extracting millions of dollars from its users and reducing its feature set at the same time. (*cough cough* Photoshop *cough*)
Free and open source software. Every. Single. Fucking. Time. Fuck subscriptions.
Not even mods can do this in Reddit, though. Seems like an unreasonable restriction.
If only there was a system that logged every moderator action into a public page that everybody can see. Maybe we can call it “modlog” or something like that.
So, UN experts then. Seems more trustworthy than Israeli experts.
That’s a lot of votes and comments.
It was probably the KYS initials.
there was a gap in US music IP law for like 40 years for anything from before the system was nationalized in the 70’s
The poor already don’t have copyright laws, and the rich continue to have their safeguards. This is already how it is.
What? You think those laws on the books are for you? No. Only the rich get to enforce those copyright laws.
It’s even worse than saying there’s no copyright laws, because the poor think they have them.
WTF, Germany?
This is a big part of why fair use is in such a bad state right now: no predictability in how courts will rule on it as a defense, plus no way to keep you out of courts in the first place.
That’s not completely true. Fair Use has four declarations that you must pass, so there’s at least some definition to how it would play out in the courts. But, it’s not a definitive rule of law, so yeah it’s not going to keep you out of the courts.
that is technically transformative, but most likely not enough to justify fair use.
Right, but it’s pretty obvious that the transformation for AI is very transformative, and it’s lossy at that. After the training, you can’t just duplicate the image it was trained from, even if it was asked a thousand times.
You use hyphens because they look cool.
I use em dashes because Oxford Standard Style Guide for English dictates how it should be used.
We are not the same.
Alexis left Reddit suddenly with some weird excuse, too. I think he got word of the stock plan and immediately jumped ship.
Tesla isn’t really losing anything except a bunch of fake market value. It was incredibly overvalued, and now this market correction is sorting itself out.
They have to. It’s a requirement, or everybody would quit in protest.
