feels like you can’t even exist anymore without all your data getting leaked by someone who aggressively must consume as much of it as possible.

Hulu you can say, “well at least I can pirate and avoid giving my info up.” But what can you do against things like when Equifax was hacked?

There needs to be real privacy reform and real data privacy laws in the USA. bullshit ass second-tier country

Nice. The improvements to Nautilus (Files) are welcome, but it's still the the reason why I'm leaving Gnome for KDE, anyhow. I can't stand Nautilus.

My first car had a curb weight of 2400 lbs. It's absurd how fucking huge these planet-destroying, environment destroying, life destroying monstrosities have become.

I'm asking genuinely: is this "AI" or is this "ML," because the latter terms appears more appropriate to me.

Due to this it also means that ripping 4K and Blu-ray discs also are breaking a DRM which means you are legally not allowed to make a digital copy of movies that you own. Which directly contradicts the intent of these laws.

Yes, this has been a long-standing point of stupidity in my mind. It's clearly inconsistent.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems to me when it comes to legal cases you want as many facts stacked in your favor as possible, and as few facts stacked against your favor as is possible. Because at the end of the day some jury or judge will decide one way or another, based on facts and prejudices.

This seems to be how these things inevitably must go. Pay money to legitimately use a product or view a piece media. 🔜 Oh no, my money is now going toward funding something bad.

Jet rains here, Nintendo with their lawsuits, the entire MPA (formerly known as MPAA).

It was bewildering to me in the moment that when TOTK was leaked that they didn't restrict themselves from working on the emu to handle TOTK. It was some nod and wink "breath of the wild" improvements coming in all of a sudden.

Like... for real? If I were the project lead I would've banned discussion and development about it until after launch. And part of the legal filing from Nintendo is that Yuzu's own telemetry shows that Yuzu devs must be aware of piracy because they can see games being played on the emulator pre-launch. Make of that what you will.

"Extremely likely" -- says the only entity in control of the price. What are the odds? Who knows! It's extremely likely!

Taking the joke a little too seriously, huh?

The phenomenon you describe is called Jevons paradox. Absent a law to safeguard the increased efficiency, the waste will follow quickly.

Wake me up when "ai" makes the amount of CO2 in the earth's atmosphere trend downward. Generative AI is just a way to burn electricity to take value produced by humans and then replace those same humans, all to line the pockets of the companies that can afford to churn all the data in the world.

For the handful of genuinely cool and interesting things it can do, the number of extremely awful costs and externalities is like 1000x worse.
