If you think Trump will do anything but prop up Netenyahu even more, I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

It’s 7-D chess. He wants to use x-Twitter as a tax wire-off.

I, for one, thank the German government for introducing me to a new site.

You can’t 3D print a gun, but you can buy one without a background check. Brilliant.

Never stopped them before from still passing half-assed laws.

This broke me. 🤣

It is. And don’t call me Shirley.

If you think that these days resumes actually reach developers, I have an AI company to sell you.

I would like to see these publishers take on OpenAI, Midjourney and others, who basically said that copyright laws should not apply to them because AI would be “impossible” without them having free access to everything.

you can be certain that these publishers don’t know that you exist

I think it’s better this way.

Not to mention fast.

It’s at least 1 better than v2.

Recursion!

Have you tried a patch cable‽

Easy solution. “The Internet Archive” should rebrand itself to “Archiving the Internet” to confuse everyone who talks about how “AI” should be able to steal books.

Agreed about changing the copyright law.

Until that happens though, they must not be allowed to have it both ways - call us “pirates” when we copy their shit without paying for it, and tell us that paying for shit they copy is “impossible”.

Libraries are still a thing. You can still go there to borrow a book, read it, and return it, so that others can read it.

Public libraries are under assault from every direction.

Pretty soon you either won’t find the books, or even the libraries themselves. Piracy is the only way they are leaving to us.

Itanium jokes are never going to be not funny!

Chaotic evil is “makes you create a ticket, doesn’t work on it, and then blames the ticket for the downtime to the CEO.”

Isn’t this getting blocked in 24H2?
