Yeah tbh, it’s just two shady companies trying to out-cheat each other.

Lemmy hug of… life?

deafness, partial or total inability to hear. (Britannica)

You mean here on Lemmy? I think they disabled them on reddit anyway.

Perhaps the real right place for the sticker was the drawer all along?

I clicked on this thread only to figure out what that title is supposed to mean.

Exactly. Nobody can author, own, or “steal” a joke, a proverb, a riddle, a folk tale, a nursery rhyme, graffiti… Memes are just the digital equivalent of such cultural artefacts.

Nice! I’ll… save this meme.

Sorry for this slightly random remark, but fuck whoever unironically came up with concept of “stealing” memes.

I use W10 and I’ve gotten two full-screen ads for W11 in the last two weeks.

Here’s an another uncomfortable statistic: most of ASOIAF was published before 9/11.

Personally I gave up after AFFC, which I read around a decade ago. The quality of writing had plummeted, and it was increasingly obvious the series is going to take way too long to be finished.

The guy should just give up, relive himself of the duty and the audiences of the frustration, and spend his remaining years peacefully writing Dunk and Egg stories.

That’s true, but organising and managing such a distributed form of IA would probably be a nightmare of a job. I’ve seen many people suggest that to IA, but they seem to be very very reluctant about the idea.

If we’re going to stick to ancient Greek references, one of these is closer to the modern day Augean stables.

Huh? The public can store data on IA just fine. I’ve uploaded dozens of public-domain books there.

Chiquita and Nestlé come to mind. Within tech industry, I’d say Amazon and probably Microsoft are worse as well, and there’s probably a ton of potentially even worse companies lurking in the shadows outside the top of the economic food chain.

I’m worrying that whatever gets sold (Chrome or Android) might end up in the hands of someone even more scummy than Google.

If you’re thinking of American right-wingers and fascists who are currently celebrating Trump’s victory, I must say their view of the world is so dark, negative and pessimistic, that nobody could really describe it as utopia-like. This is a brief respite for them, nothing more.

If you’re thinking more abstractly, or of some very specific incredibly lucky people, then I guess it could be so.

Yeah, totally makes sense, “they” attacked IA one month in advance before the elections, knowing that IA would spend around a month rewriting and improving their site code until the Save Page option would be enabled again (unless IA themselves are a part of the plot???), so that news articles could be “edited on the fly” (with what result?) until the election day, while other similar web archiving services such as archive.is would keep working just fine.

Thanks. It’s a part of history I know very little about.
