The GOP also has issues with DEI, which stands for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

Their followers are either not smart enough to realize, and will parrot what they hear, and thereby spread more hate, or they’re willingly malevolent.

…or say something negative about Charlie Kirk?

Does it have an app to automatically backup photos and documents from an Android or iOS phone by chance? I know I can use syncthing, but in my experience a tool like Synology Drive works more reliably.

Exactly. Intellectual property only applies to corporations. As soon as it’s an individual’s, it’s fair game it seems.

Meta even got caught illegally downloading books via torrents and using those as training material for A.I.

You know what would be fair, seeing as that A.I. is trained on the collective knowledge of everyone that has added content to the Internet? All A.I. models trained on public data should be free to use for everyone.

Bernd!

Tipping in general is a concept that should just die. Same actually as bonuses. I work at a rather large company where sales closing a deal will get them a bonus. In my job I don’t directly deal with customers, so I can never get a bonus. U don’t work less hard than sales. I would actually say my job is more stressful. They should just pay people what they’re worth.

And still, he is smaller than your mom.

I think vercel (formerly zeit.co) has a free tier for static websites.

It’s free. What is vim?

Service?

I’m not from the U.S., but why would people from the military get a discount? If you do that as a store, why not doctors and nurses too? Why stop there and why not include firefighters, government workers or teachers?

And who compensates you as a business owner for these giveaways? If your store happens to be close to an army base, do you just accept the disadvantage of giving away part of your profit?

It sounds pretty stupid. People should get paid enough to pay full price for their stuff. Especially by the government. Especially in a country that allocates an enormous part of their GDP to their military.

And nothing of value was lost. In fact, it might shield more European users from FUD, misinformation and propaganda.

If artists would actually get paid fairly by Spotify that would be a good model.

Until about 100 years ago music artists would get paid for playing live only. Then music reproduction became possible, and lo and behold, companies started making a profit off of popular musicians by reproducing their music and taking a share, just because they could afford the technology.

Then, reproduction came into the hands of regular people, and you could reproduce music at home, bypassing the companies that profit off of the musicians. So copyright laws were drafted to protect mostly the companies making a profit off of musicians.

Now we’re going back to the situation of 100 years ago: musicians need to play live to get paid. But reproduction does still make them famous without them having to travel. So that’s a plus.

And you can argue Spotify has to.pay for infrastructure and app development, but that technology is in the hands of individuals as well nowadays. So what do they actually offer, on top of the work of creative people making music? Not much. Yet they become more expensive every year. And the only people getting richer are their shareholders.

Are nfts actually still a thing? I mean are there still people selling/trading them?

I wonder if he realizes how he will be remembered by the world after his death, and how different that is that if he would have died, say ten years ago, or right before that moment when he wanted to rescue those kids stuck in that cave and went off on anyone that criticized him. For me, that’s the moment it all went to shit for him.

Of course they want to politicize this. And the EU is being far too careful here, these amounts are only 1.5% of the maximum penalty. They got off easy

Of course it is. I hope that’s not true. Where did you read this?

I have to disagree here. I find using Cinnamon is very close to using windows. Everything hardware wise pretty much runs out of the box on all desktops and laptops I have installed it on. Have been using it for years. The one thing I can’t comment on is hdpi. I never owned a high enough resolution screen to have problems with scaling I guess, although I do have a three monitor setup. Immutability might be nice, but I think it’s also personal preference. Windows doesn’t have it so it might be a strange feature to new users coming from Windows.
