I, for one, thank the German government for introducing me to a new site.

It is. And don’t call me Shirley.
I would like to see these publishers take on OpenAI, Midjourney and others, who basically said that copyright laws should not apply to them because AI would be “impossible” without them having free access to everything.
you can be certain that these publishers don’t know that you exist
I think it’s better this way.
Not to mention fast.
social media should go back to being a purely chronological feed, curated by the users themselves, and cut corporate influence out of the equation.
But then how would they make money if they can’t keep users doomscrolling forever to keep serving them ads? Won’t someone think of the shareholders?!
I guess not much has changed in the nazi Hungary since WW2.
Rational person… 70 million people are still voting for a serial rapist even after… no, especially after he has been convicted of a felony.

A highly paid exec is hardly an example of “working class collective”.
Have you tried 15 more reboots?
Looks like I switched to Immich right on time.
Unfortunately deleting my photos out of Google now is a futile exercise. No matter what Google says, I’m convinced that they just make the photos unavailable to us, but don’t actually delete anything, ever.
Trade-in value, plus $400-500 USD. I generally change my phone once every 2-3 year, so I figure ~$150 per year amortization is fine.
Easy solution. “The Internet Archive” should rebrand itself to “Archiving the Internet” to confuse everyone who talks about how “AI” should be able to steal books.
Agreed about changing the copyright law.
Until that happens though, they must not be allowed to have it both ways - call us “pirates” when we copy their shit without paying for it, and tell us that paying for shit they copy is “impossible”.
Libraries are still a thing. You can still go there to borrow a book, read it, and return it, so that others can read it.
Public libraries are under assault from every direction.

Pretty soon you either won’t find the books, or even the libraries themselves. Piracy is the only way they are leaving to us.
But Russia isn’t going to deal with the agreement
I’m pretty sure Putin is gonna have to deal with it.
Putin was elected too.

Bwahahahah! Sorry, almost made it through with a straight face.
Louis Rossmann’s 20-minute rant on needless cloudification of shit incoming in 3… 2… 1…
Those videos were not anti-FOSS. It was an honest look into the state of gaming on Linux that even the experts begrudgingly agreed with. If you listen to Linus’ personal views on Linux, he’s rooting for an alternative to Windows and Mac.
The gall! How dare they open up their dirty word holes to preach anyone about ethics when half of them are bought and paid for by the highest bidder! Fucking unreal.
