Do we think they’ll be less likely to throw luggage. Cause if yes, they have my full support.

Everything everyone today says or thinks is plagiarized… Move along already, it don’t matter none. What does matter is how it, whatever it is, either benefits society or hurts it.

Those files are kinda a nightmare to navigate in their bare state. And the datasets are huge. I doubt anyone training AI would allow them to go through knowingly, less it was specifically a police invesigation and case law focused AI that was designed to process and categorize that kind of data.

Most AI are designed for functional discussion and factual data processing. It’s not a great idea to just feed in random trash.

Funny, the statute $2500 should be for the circumvention act, which was likely singular, not per file obtained during or as a result of the act. And the $150k is ridiculous in and of itself, even if for all files obtained. What a strange world we live in.

Spotify built a system of control in order to profit a few at a cost to many, perhaps everyone else.

Someone broke that system in order to benefit many, possibly at the cost of some of their ability to profit from their system of control–if they didn’t lose customers, or prospective customers, they didn’t experience any financial loss, or a loss in their ability to maintain their system of control (which is still very much in place and working).

Either way, nobody was hurt.

But the person who acted selflessly to benefit of society in general is punished.

Because… We, as a society, celebrate and work effortlessly to maintain complex systems of abuse in order to satisfy our greed or the greed of others. All despite being taught in school not to lie to and bully each other, and to share with and care for each other.

As a species: We are bat shit fucking crazy!

99% of the internet is trash. Pages bouncing all over while loading, constant cookie or login popups (even with various blockers), links not connecting, old long outdated content being pushed to the front of searches, junk AI slop non-answers articles or marketing lists about a problem vs actual detailed answers…

Then there are all the various billing systems for various marketplaces, that all wanna require memberships for one time sales, before they tell you the shipping cost.

And so so much more.

It’s all heavily dysfunctional and lame and not user friendly at all anymore.

And they discovered earth cats about 1500 years ago.

No.

I’ve only ever read a forums rules when adding a post, in order to ensure it gets accepted.

My comments on posts are responses to the post being seen by me. Any and all post seen by me are responded to as I see fit, ad hoc.

If you don’t like em, you can feel free to do your job and moderate whatever content you can as you see fit, but I am in no way ever going to read and study and memorize the combined thousands of rules for every community that pops up in my feed on any social platform before commenting.

Your demand is so far from reasonable, or rational, that my immediate conclusion is that you should be banned from ever moderating a public community.

So, please take your head, and remove it from your ass: BTW, you sound like a hardcore fascist POS!

Cheers.

Ran into this on newpipe last week, just loaded a webpage in mobile Firefox then went back to newpipe and refreshed the page.

Not sure about your situation, but there are definitely work arounds for some situations.

Well, I originally saw both Blair Witch and H20 played from really dark and messy VHS copies of theater recordings… And man, let me tell ya, they were both way better as low quality cams that HD movies!

I intentionally watch bad Horror as cams now, when I can, even decades later… It really adds to the experience!

Well, it certainly looks like it rained. Where are the missiles? Is that LA?

I only hate you because of the color of your shirt!

SOs HP laptop borked Win11pro OS, wouldn’t load or recover. Tried reinstalling clean but Win11 installer can’t see SSD. Driver loading during install results in install crashing error.

Linux, here we come.

Where’s the second comparison picture that shows what it would look like with more 3 or 4 story or underground parking.

Why do they last more than a year?

Why do they exist at all?

Can not both be true?

I only pee in other people’s showers.

But if you know the answer, are you not also logically the best person to ask?

Yeah, was pretty sure it was something like that…

I used AI to make a Home Alone themed digital Christmas card last year. It was completely PG. But it was a nightmare to do as I kept tripping over gates on account of Kevin being a child and Home Alone being a copyrighted property.

I went all the way to the dark end of the AI gen spectrum, to where kiddie porn abdolutely happens, but the product I produced there was unsatisfactory. So I went alI went back to the top players with all the gates and worked around them by reworking my prompts for what seemed like forever.

1 year earlier I would’ve gotten the results I wanted with my first prompt, maybe tweaking fonts for the words, fixing spelling errors, or making minor visual features. 5min tops.

It really turned me off from continuing to play with AI.

Those gates have gotten really nasty.

It’s as though users are treated as guilty in advance and then denied the opportunity to prove themselves innocent.

Completely backwards attitude and practice.

Oh, Costco is in the stone ages still in a lot of ways, it’s pretty unsettling sometimes. But also using tried and true methods and waiting decades to adopt modern tech saves a ton of cash… Which doesn’t just benefit the stock holders when you’re a company like Costco.

Go in in person on a weekday before 3pm and sign up at the service desk.

My grand pappy worked on parts used for those moon buggies. He was pretty knowledgeable about them and proud of his work.

Would be pretty shitty for him to have learned it was all staged.

He was a hard ass too, ex British Navy.

I don’t think it wise to hire people like him to work on projects you intend to use to lie to and betray the public.

Pretty sure it’d be more cost effective and safer to just hire joe schmoe to work up some gadget in his garage, or to handle it in house. Why hire outside professionals and actually do the real work to just lie about the outcome.
