You realize that half of Lemmy is tying themselves in inconsistent logical knots trying to escape the reverse conundrum?
Copying isn’t stealing and never was. Our IP system that artificially restricts information has never made sense in the digital age, and yet now everyone is on here cheering copyright on.
In that I can take a picture of them and you wouldn’t notice or be impacted by it?
Man this is fucking asinine. No one hates you. Certainly not the actual researchers and engineers building these products.
Capitalism fucks over everyone who’s not immediately useful. AI is just modelling algorithms after neurons and discovering that that lets us solve a whole new class of fuzzy pattern matching problems.
The two of them together promises to fuck us over even more because that was one of the main things that we used to be better than computers at, but the solution is not remove the new technology from the equation, it’s to remove the old and broken system of resource allocation that has and continues to fuck us no matter what.
You’re describing how human beings learn and create.
No. It’s only illegal if you republish what you scrape. Absolutely nothing prevents any company from scraping the web and using that information internally.
No, it’s not a hard decision.
You’re choosing between two old men, one of whom is an actual politician with a history of accomplishing things and running a country. The other is a mean old pervert who couldn’t run a business without committing fraud. He literally tried to cheat and destroy the system when he lost the first time.
How the fuck do you think it’s close?
Yeah, and seeing the lowest bottoms of the human existence every time you scroll your newsfeed doesn’t make you more sensitive to it, it numbs you to it.
This comic is sad in the way that the Fry’s dog episode is sad. It’s devastating the first time you see it but the more you think about it the more you realize that there was/is no other message, they’re just saying death really sucks, and yeah it does, but that doesn’t mean it’s healthy to relive it over and over and over.
This is naiive accelerationist nonsense.
You do not fix systems by ignoring them and letting badgers tear them apart for years in your absence.
The vast majority of the time, actual change comes from people engaging with the system and slowly pushing it in the right direction.
Quite frankly, go outside and have someone slap you in the face and wake you the fuck up.
It’s not remotely close. Biden still has an actual solid policy agenda, Trump is a senile and decrepit badger, shitting himself and scratching at everything he sees.

Really excited. Obsidian is one of the best studios around.
Even Grounded, a silly, b-team, honey-I-shrunk-the-kids game, had a surprisingly well written and compelling story that had me tear up at one point.
Imagine if they pitch it as Cyberpunk 2, complete with huge tech trees and stuff, so you start homeless thinking that you’ll grind your way up to a body modded god like the first one, but the actual realities and difficulties of being homeless mean that it’s impossible to ever crawl your way out, and at the end you realize that the only win condition you can hope for isn’t progression, but just survival. Now there would be a bleak artistic statement on capitalism, that would be hated by every player and make none of its money back.
But you don’t have to do those. I basically only ever do them by accident.
Yeah, I’m mid way through my first play through and the lack of birds and animals just feels lazy / a tech limitation covered up by lazy writing, not a real thing to care about that corpos did.
Otherwise the corpos in the story so far don’t seem that crazy bad or evil. Most of the time they enter the story it’s just you stealing something from them and then trying to get it back.
Honestly, GTA V had far more pointed social / political commentary thus far, even if this is a much better overall story.
No, this is just cynical and mean-spirited.
It was an individual developer talking on the podcast about what he wants the game to be, there’s no reason to think he doesn’t feel exactly the same way you do.
If you’re going to be cynical, be cynical about whether or not that messaging would make it through the layers of corporate beurocracy until it’s published, not whether the individual wants to do something meaningful, most do.
Because usually if you end up at the API reference in that situation it’s a code / project smell that other stuff is going wrong.
If I want to use a library to do something, you should be able to search for what you want to do + language / framework, find the library’s docs, follow the install instructions and then look through the highest level API / instructions and then just go from there.
If you find yourself confused at unhelpful API references that just means that they have badly written top level API docs, badly written intros, or quite probably just badly written APIs.
The fact that the Liberals are losing isn’t that surprising, but the fact that a no-plan, know-nothing dipshit like PP seems to be winning is.
Not paying attention to housing costs is really really going to have fucked this country over if he gets into power.
It goes against the simplified idea of evolution, in that, having a huge amount of off-spring die for no reason should generally be selected against since it’s wasteful.
But evolution isn’t a straight march to a finish line, it can only use what it has to work with and it’s entirely possible for a branch of it to get stuck in weird specific ways that aren’t helpful.
Not saying “sorry”, and instead saying “thank you for your patience”, will make me internally think “no, I wasn’t feeling patient at all”, and I’ll think you’re a condescending asshole and undermine you at every turn.
People need to learn how to apologize gracefully and keep moving.
The problem with copyright has nothing to do with terms limits. Those exacerbate the problem, but the fundamental problem with copyright and IP law is that it is a system of artificial scarcity where there is no need for one.
Rather than reward creators when their information is used, we hamfistedly try and prevent others from using that information so that people have to pay them to use it sometimes.
Capitalism is flat out the wrong system for distributing digital information, because as soon as information is digitized it is effectively infinitely abundant which sends its value to $0.
