Game companies generally don't care if you don't make money from your mods or fan projects. And yes technically copyright nowadays lasts until the heat death of the universe but 10 year old games are in commercial limbo.

Ofcourse AI providers very much DO want to make money with their trained models.

A program that is only used by poor people will immediately be scrapped. Never underestimate the seething hatred that the middle class has for the underclass. Besides all that social security money goes straight into the economy.

I have a 3k gaming PC and believe me I prefer using my smartphone for everything except videogames.

HN just really hates mobiles and unironically goes to amazon.com rather than using the damn app.

Roman emperors at least had the dignity to go after rich senators.

His religious bullshit just amounts to a divine right to rule.

There is a reason why in Christianity you can "repent". In the middle ages you could even pay for a get out of hell card.

In some countries books are removed from the store if you say "Free Palestine".

I live in the Netherlands- a country that prises itself in hyper individuality. It can be a little tiring but never boring. People here are born without filters. Cold, blunt, callous, rude, insulting but always free.

AI is treated as magic but those data centers are like any other factory run under capitalism.

I never understood the hate for taxes. As if people like Zuckerberg could thrive in a warzone.

I don't think you can be a lawyer if you take cases personally. At some point you have to defend a rapist who is clearly guilty.

Yeah with a hotel I can book 2 months in advance and not have to think about it.

Airbnb hosts are not expected to have professionalism.

Plex seems to be the kind of software a lot of people would have acquired illegally.

This is why people won't protest against a refinery or steel plant. Those provide jobs- in some cases for a hundred years.

Also Windows has a huge community of people who will help you.

With Linux you're stuck trying to decipher the ramblings of neckbeards.

That's the problem with the tech industry. Nobody gives a fuck.

When a doctor makes a mistake they get to practice medicine in Peru for the rest of their life.

People can do things out of conviction you know.

Although I personally wouldn't lift a finger for the corrupt Christ clowns that run America these days.

They're not mad? They ask for a filter to specifically make sure that they don't see the AI slop.
