  Mind you, theyre killing it in favor of an LLM, which is arguably further biased (you know, the giant “predict the most likely next work” algorithm, which doesn’t predict anything new).

  To pay authors a fair compensation for consumption of their book, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  He could just as easily argue he was forced to give the password under duress and accidentally gave them the wrong password.

  As such, its highly improper for them to have tried to take data from his phone without a warrant and try to argue he destroyed evidence when he has not been charged with a crime.

  The motion also states that Tunick asked four times to speak with a lawyer and was denied each time.

  Also highly illegal.

  Fuck all the way off. This man did nothing wrong during this interaction, its police that fucked up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo says users voluntarily paid higher prices, have no right to tariff refunds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Except that the tariffs that were placed on Nintendo’s products were ruled unlawful and refunded (to Nintendo).

  Imagine that it was found a city tax was calculated incorrectly - you’d expect a restaurant to refund customers, not keep the extra sales tax for themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ICE shared Medicaid data it wasn't supposed to have with Palantir⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Further proving ICE is a lawless agency and needs to be abolished.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta used AI to tag workers who took leave to be laid off, lawsuit claims⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Given that we have no AI laws, honestly probably not a stupid decision, just very unethical one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft’s Secure Boot has been broken for a decade and no one noticed until now⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Really funny that, the thing Microsoft used to try and prevent people from using Linux secure systems, was broken this entire time due to laziness revolving around ensuring Linux worked via Secure Boot.

  Star Wars became Episode IV in 1980, when its sequel, The Empire Strikes Back, began with the title card “Episode V”. However, the 1977 original did not officially have the “Episode IV: A New Hope” subtitle added to its opening crawl until its theatrical re-release on April 10, 1981.

  You could say Star Wars 2 was released as “Star Wars 5” I suppose

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your Cat Is Being Nice? Think Again. A new study finds that sometimes cats groom each other specifically to be annoying.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My cat will do this to me sometimes - fucking painful to keep licking the same spot

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly why the internet should be the fediverse - corporations have too much power and are sanitizing the internet.

  Listen, the NMR doesn’t need the LN2.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Library Apps are GOATed⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Some even have 3d printers if you wanted to get into that without making a $600+ investment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Machine costs more than I hoped but the price isn’t crazy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea already having a desktop and steam deck not worth it for me (but I wasnt really considering one anyway, Im more interested in the Frame).

  But having the option to install SteamOS myself is nice if I did want to have the same experience (with a machine I built myself).

  Hopefully we return to sane prices sooner rather than later…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fafo⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  We should shame him into fixing it.

  I bet Elon Musk couldn’t fix it! There’s no way he could figure out how to spend a billion dollars fixing it!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When it comes to total water use, AI data centers are a drop in the bucket⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a shit article, from what’s clear to be a shit author Kyle Orland, Ars’ Senior Gaming Editor.

  Yea agreed - though it does make an important point (in perhaps the opposite way it should have been made). Local water use is being impacted greatly - it may not lead to us having no water nationally, but its absolutely leading local communities to struggle to get people water.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When it comes to total water use, AI data centers are a drop in the bucket⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Water use is probably a drop in the bucket, but the electrical use sure as hell isn’t.

  We’re supposed to be curbing fossil fuel use, instead we’re burning our way to hell to mint trillionaires.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Electric cars are starting to take over the world⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Meanwhile legacy US automakers are busy trying to bury their heads in the sand again. I’m sure that will end well for the US economy and consumers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aerosol⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  2018 to 2022 didnt see much change (and given how far until its fully returned to normal, I think you can see qhy - it takes a long time to fully heal), but we’re certainly pretty far into success compared to where we were.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aerosol⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Tbf, its not even yet a win technically.

  TCO is expected to return to 1980 values around 2066 in the Antarctic, around 2045 in the Arctic, and around 2040 for the near-global average (60°N-60°S). - Source
