Nah. They changed the game. It didn’t used to be like that. You bought a physical copy, you owned that copy. Now they’ve added some bullshit “it’s actually a lease and we can review access at any time we want, fuck consumer” language. Stop defending this nonsense.
All that anti repair garbage going in, also. And game console Companies suing you for modifying your own machine.
Accessing content I paid for isn’t pirating. And corporations have been working in eroding our ownership of the things we pay for years now. You can stop pretending they haven’t
This only makes sense if they are counting intellisense auto complete as “AI written”
Even buying physical media, they claim you still don’t own the content, are only leasing it. It’s all bullshit to charge more and give us less. Stop defending this practice of eroding consumer rights
Sounds like it’s centralized around Linus…
Given how Reddit bans are currently being dealt out, it’s likely a “Aryan Race is superior and Jews are evil” Republican.
Many people can. I’m not saying the current system is perfect and doesn’t need work.
I’m saying no system at all, is much much worse than it is even now.
Making it worse doesn’t help those people who can’t support themselves doing it now.
It’s not even new stuff. Last I had looked (a couple years ago) it would show me friendss posts from last week with no sign of anything new, and I knew they had posted newer things than that. It was completely unusable. I’d see the same stale old posts for days
I’ve never seen any of these articles explain what this means. How is generative AI “using up” water. When a search uses a liter or whatever of water, what is happening to this water?
Every time that happens, a little more water is burned and a little more carbon is released.
This is just nonsense that makes me think the author doesn’t know either.
Water is often used in cooling servers. But it’s contained and reused. It doesn’t go anywhere, it’s the vehicle to move heat from the servers to wherever else. In a pipe. In a closed loop. All these doomsday AI articles act like water is being lost permanently due to the use of these servers. Even if the water was escaping the closed system…did no one pay attention to the water cycle unit in grade school?!
Having “ownership” tied to the Blockchain does fuck all to enforce other people not using it. That’s just a publicly viewable ledger of ownership instead of whatever hidden nonsense we have now. If IP went away (stupid idea) being a contract on a Blockchain doesn’t do anything
No, this is a fucking terrible idea and anyone who thinks otherwise has not thought anything through. If you can’t make enough money creating art to sustain yourself, people are going to very quickly make a lot less art.
Anyone here who just wants free content is going to pretty quickly realize that there’s very little new content being made.
Well some scientist was feeling pretty lazy the day that thing got “named”. That’s just a description.
You also must have missed the part where that comment you replied to said, essentially: these were the rules THEY wanted, let them play by them
Why do you even care? Some of them still have living relatives who came from the old country.
Because they’re both predominantly Catholic communities…
No one is claiming a nationality. They’re claiming an ethnicity, a heritage. You being hung up on this distinction is on you. Not the people you go out of your way to misinterpret.
Yeah, it often involves being Catholic and having massive families
Well Yeah, it’s that important.
So the exact same reason they tried to ban tiktok…except this one actually happened.
And also they’re already basically Monopolies. You don’t have real options. Most food products come from like 3 mega corps who own hundreds of brands.
