Wasn’t that Mitt Romney and Trump’s Secretary of the Treasury? (I forget his name.) But I remember him looking like a Bond villain.
Super sketchy Russian software.
I just looked. Do they not ship to the U.S.?
How about some A.I. bullshit in your browser?
Better system for WHOM? Tech-bros that want to steal my content as their own?
I’m a writer, performing artist, designer, and illustrator. I have thought about copyright quite a bit. I have released some of my stuff into the public domain, as well as the Creative Commons. If you want to use my work, you may - according to the licenses that I provide.
I also think copyright law is way out of whack. It should go back to - at most - life of author. This “life of author plus 95 years” is ridiculous. I lament that so much great work is being lost or forgotten because of the oppressive copyright laws - especially in the area of computer software.
But tech-bros that want my work to train their LLMs - they can fuck right off. There are legal thresholds that constitute “fair use” - Is it used for an academic purpose? Is it used for a non-profit use? Is the portion that is being used a small part or the whole thing? LLM software fail all of these tests.
They can slurp up the entirety of Wikipedia, and they do. But they are not satisfied with the free stuff. But they want my artistic creations, too, without asking. And they want to sell something based on my work, making money off of my work, without asking.
You sound like someone who has not tried to make an artistic creation for profit.
It’s not my goddamned planet monkey-boy!
The things is, they can have scads of free stuff that is not copyrighted. But they are greedy and want copyrighted stuff, too
I’ve had relief for gum/tooth pain by just holding a whole clove on the affected area.
Yes, and…
You can follow (and use) hashtags of topics you like.
Isn’t the guy that developed Pixelfed working on a short-form video platform? That would be better than TikTok I would think.
What’s keeping me running Microsoft? A collection of Steam games that I love. Do they work on Linux now?
I’m sorry for your situation. That sucks, and I empathize. I hope you have found physical and mental healing.
That being said, there are different levels of abusive relationships. I can see where that poster could compare Microsoft to a gaslighting relationship where a partner says they are doing something for you, but it’s always about themselves.
Yes but how many giraffes, laid end-to-end?
You could either set up a filter, or go full-Karen and complain about it.
I see you chose the second option.
Ouch!
I definitely get the billionaires using slave labor to get ahead - just like Elon Musk’s family.
Switching to Firefox might!
Brave’s CEO is so anti-gay, he dished out 4-figure checks to fight gayness.
I’m not a fan of that, and Brave has issues with being Chromium-based, like Vivaldi.
