This is like voting for US Republicans like, "what, Trump already controls the country and this dude disagrees with him."
Rowling has said that (1) she will spend all HP profits on hurting trans people and (2) she registers all HP support as support for her agenda.
She absolutely is profiting from it.
When a game is "free" the publisher isn't just donating it for funzies. Either Epic pays them (Epic is spending money to get people to its platform) or the publisher is using the game to advertise other games, which has value to them.
What's the "correct" answer here? An essay about the many factors that made it all-but-inevitable that someone would usurp power away from the senate?
I'd be curious to hear how you end up liking it.
As someone who spends a lot of time on the command-line, I've generally preferred MacOS over Windows as my not-Linux OS. But my impression is that for people who like the Windows or Linux GUI, MacOS is a bigger (and less pleasant) change.
And even on the command-line, MacOS is a different *nix distro and makes seme pretty weird choices (launchd, plists, /etc is actually /private/etc, ...) whereas you could have vanilla Ubuntu inside WSL2.
Conservapedia was comically stupid. Like, there was a lengthy diatribe against the Theory of Relativity that seemed largely based off Andrew Schlafly confusing the Physics term "relativity" with "moral relativity" and being against the latter. This was especially weird because Schlafly personally had a background in applied physics and so ought to know that GPS satellites serve as a proof of some of Relativity.
As embarrassing as basically every page of Conservapedia was, at least it represented some stupid man's beliefs and effort. Grokipedia can't even do that.
oh no I suck at lemmy :( (thanks for letting me know it's broken)
Yeesh. What's the girlfriend getting out of all of this? Seems like a lot of work to run someone else's life in addition to your own.
To be fair to New Hampsire: it was the libertarians across the USA who wanted to take over the state (then had to scale back their plans and took over one tiny town). The state government and the majority of state residents were not enthused by the Free State Project. However, the state's politically-conservative roots meant that they didn't have the cultural or administrative tools to stop that train-wreck.
Well-earned by Mamdani, but also I hope it's the last anyone has to see of Cuomo.
Statutory damages for copyright infringement can reach up to $150,000, but there’s no double-dipping.
Does this mean that, at most, OpenAI would be forced to pay him 150k? That seems irrelevant (to both parties, in fact).
One could argue that reduced maintenance costs are a value from the cloud providers. E.g. when my AWS VM dies I can get a new one back in <10m (faster with automation). When my self-hosted server dies I need to have planned for that with a warm spare and someone needs to physically be connecting new hardware. AWS allows you to pay more but have a predictable constant cost.
But I think that you're right that it's lack of vision. Everyone's following the VC-backed company path, where it doesn't make sense to save money for next year because we'll be selling some entirely new company then.
