Since when do CEOs do things because they’re actually useful and not because they want to cut costs at the expense of the workers and even the public?

Oh no, I know where this story leads…
Even then, you’re still a bigot. Dude, grow up and touch some grass.
Thanks for the info.
Okay you’re being a bigot. You know why? Because people aren’t demanding to be called “your highness”. They are just asking to be called with their preferred probouns. Putting neo pronouns aside, it’s not a heavy burden to be called he / she / it / they.
And this is the internet! The are no bodies, only usernames. Why do you care if a person claiming to be a girl demands to be called a she? Oh my fucking god,what a scandal! The oppression imposed upon you, a free citizen, demanding that you have to use a pronoun different than “he” on the internet! The world is doomed! 😱 /s
What you’re really asking for is the “right” to harass trans people (by misgendering them) because you don’t like them and abhor the idea of women having something extra down there. (it’s not like they’re plotting to force sex you, just leave them be, okay?) Not only that, you’re so obsessed with hating them that you went out of your way to post your biased opinion ON A LINUX FORUM.
You’re being a transphobic asshole, and the mods were perfectly right in banning you.
Just accept that there are different people in the world. If you have a problem with that, maybe it’s you who needs professional help.
Today:
I’m excited to announce that Beeper has been acquired by Automattic.
Tomorrow:
We’re excited to announce that Automattic has been acquired by (Insert megacorp here).
Later:
Beeper personnel laid off; project discontinued
Just you wait.
The fact that we’re reading and commenting about it on Lemmy is satisfying, despite the sadness of the situation. It’s like watching the city burn after you moved away and saying “wow, I guess I really took the right choice by leaving.”
“Let’s treat our workers like slaves or else the entire economy will suffer” is a far worse take IMHO.
Establish a wage floor.
Establish a price cap.
If the corporation can’t make a profit from this, then perhaps their business model was not viable in the first place.
By decreasing billionaire executive bonuses, of course. You realize apps like Uver give shitty pay to the drivers and keep most of the profits for the execs, don’t you?
Repeat after me: They are MIDDLEMEN.
Did the ordinance specify that the app companies would have to absorb the costs and NOT pass them to the users? No? Ah, well, that explains it then.
As a decentralized platform, Bluesky’s code is completely open source,
As long as a company is in control, being decentralized doesn’t mean shit.
It can be mass produced in very little time.
Show me an application of Generative AI for teaching right now. As in, already existing.
What constitutes fair use?
17 U.S.C. § 107
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 17 U.S.C. § 106 and 17 U.S.C. § 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.
GenAI training, at least regarding art, is neither criticism, comment, news reporting scholarship, nor research.
AI training is not done by scientists but engineers of a corporative entity with a long term profit goal.
So, by elimination, we can conclude that none of the purposes covered by the fair use doctrine apply to Generative AI training.
Q.E.D.
xkcd warned us and that didn’t listen.
An HP Printer is a bad investment.
No, but we can build it. It’s called a Directory. This is how Yahoo! worked before it got enshittified and eventually replaced by Google search.
Fuck, I got 50%. If others had the same result, you can guess the implications.
At this point, I’d like to ask: If a foreign company threatens democracy in a country, is it legal for the executive to ban business with that company?
No? Then that doesn’t make sense. It’s a FOREIGN company, the government should have the right to do whatever it needs to protect its citizens in that regard.
