Sure, but if you install DR, then you have DR to do other things. Like chase that YouTuber dream, or field annoying calls from your great aunt who knows you can edit videos to digitize her parents super 8 family videos that are have rotten.

See, the thing is, the corporations believe they already own our money, so not giving it to them when they demand is the real injury, not us downloading a game or a movie. All the product does is tell them which internal bounty hunter to credit with the safe capture and return of what was already theirs.
You can't truly degoogle chromium without a hard fork. Soft forks are still enabling them and their grip on the web, even if they're not specifically spying on you in particular.
What they mean is "I use woefully malformed websites loaded up with all sorts of weird shit that eats ram on the regular, and somehow that's my browser's fault"
If that's the case, I'd say the new mod did get the memo about Lemmy, and about the fediverse at large, and actually understood the legal risks involved in hosting this community.
Federation works by receiving and locally storing content from remote instances, which means any instance based in the USA is going to assume some significant legal risks by not banning this community.
It's not that they're refusing to let people look through a window into another, remote host. It's that they're refusing to host and serve that content from their own website.
It was deemed legal and fair use after the film and music industries sued VCR manufacturers and users.
So yeah, it absolutely was considered piracy by the media production and distribution companies. The courts disagreeing with them doesn't change that.
Credit where credit is due, if we define a generation as a 15 year period of time, and we decide that Gen Z started in 1995 (for easy math), you do, in fact, land on 1665.
I don't know why the author thinks that Gen D doesn't exist yet, when the pattern of X, Y (Millennials), and Z make a pattern that both implies that the Latin alphabet's use is coming to an end for this purpose (ignoring that Gen X was named not as part of a sequence of letters, but by Douglas Copeland's book, which was titled itself using an existing phrase), and that can easily be extrapolated backwards through time.
Damn, five figures. Nice! 912800 here.
I had the app on my phone, just to check in on my friendslist. None of them had logged on since about 2004 or so, at the latest.
You can see the discussions that inspired the Comic Book Guy.
World governments wouldn't be able to stop the LGM from just landing in the middle of Tokyo for all to see. They have no control in that situation.
Discovering microbes on Mars might be one thing, but it's also the kind of thing the general public wouldn't give a shit about.
Honestly the most impressive part of LLMs is the tokenizer that breaks down the request, not the predictive text button masher that comes up with the response.
Yes, exactly! It's ability to parse the input is incredible. It's the thing that has that "wow" factor, and it feels downright magical.
Unfortunately, that also makes people intuitively trust its output.
I kind of suspect this was an attempt on the IA's end to get parts of copyright struck down by court ruling. Laws can be clear and still found to not be in the public's interest, or in violation of some other legal doctrine, and sometimes you'll see groups come at them sideways.
Ownership laws are really tough ones to chip away at, and IP law in particular has been getting worse and more unassailable over time.
