I know something better and it’s solar powered: Trees!

Let’s be honest, there are ONLY dudes on Lemmy.

This is just “fuck around and find out” on a larger scale. It’s what they wanted on October 7th: Now they have their holy war. Might as well enjoy it; 72 virgins surely are already waiting.

They do, in the EU. If you fuck up your customer’s data, you’ll face fines consisting of hefty percentages of your yearly revenue!

They LET us KEEP our data… so they’re NOT (yet) using their market power to do what they want?

I think this headline got it wrong: If MS wants to do business with Europe, they have to follow our privacy laws or face hufe fines and ultimately the boot (which would benefit nobody).

Evidence, that something doesn’t exist?

Here: …

You can also use this evidence freely to prove, that you didn’t receive the package that you ordered.

to piss time and money away commuting

So much this! Why is it OK for us to waste our most valuable resource, time?? If you waste company time or assets, you’ll be fired.

They ALL are on green screen. There isn’t anyone int his video present “in person”!

So if I look at a painting study it and then emulate the original painter’s artstyle, then I’m in breach of their copyright?

Or if I read a lot of fantasy like GRRM or JK Rowling and I also write a fantasy book and say, that they were my Inspiration, I’m breaching their copyright??

That’s not how it works, and if it is, it shouldn’t be!

Sure, if a start reproducing work, i.e. plagiarizing the work of others, then I’m doing sth wrong.

And to spin this further: If I raise a child on children’s books by a specific author, am I breaching copyright, when my child enters the workforce and starts to earn money??? Stupid, yes! But so are the copyright claims against LLMs, in my opinion.

“Constitution”? What has been constituted? Are they a sovereign nation now? Did they get land? If so, I’d also like to get some land for free!!

What about rails? You need rails first. Who is providing the land where rails will be built on?

But yeah, trains it is!

Wow so dumb! Yes, fuck progress and fuck nuclear energy! Let’s burn coal again like in the dark ages!

And furthermore: Most of these shitty apps are nothing more than overblown API clients. Which means they didn’t want to build a website and operate a webserver, so instead you provide the processing power for the UI yourself. These apps usually can’t do anything on their own, if you are offline, becaue all the value is generated remotely by the actual server.

The modern software experience sucks much!

Yes, exactly.

Purchasing power refers to how much goods you can buy with your currency. As you can imagine you can buy less with 100$ in the US than in India, where everything is cheaper. If you take purchasing power into account you convert everything into a “standard amount of stuff”. And using a conversion based on “the same stuff” you’ll get a different currency conversion factor.

India achieves their goal still very economically, but it’s not 75mil, it’s 255mil. The equivalent amount of stuff that costs INR 6.15billion if you buy it in India costs USD 255million if you buy it in the US.

Really? I don’t think so!

In absolute values, sure, but They didn’t adjust for the difference in purchasing power between India and the US. Yes, the purported INR 6,150,000,000.- can be converted directly into USD 74,400,732.- using the current exchange rate of INR 82.66 for USD 1.

BUT, if you take into account the difference in purchasing power of the two economies and use a conversion rate that eliminates the differences in price levels between countries (https://data.oecd.org/conversion/purchasing-power-parities-ppp.htm, 24.059 between India and US in 2022) then INR 6,150,000,000.- come out to be equal to USD 255,621,597! This value you can now compare to the production cost of movies in the US etc.

But what can you expect from those young “journalists” from the independent… they should be ashamed of themselves.

Edit: You could also take the Big mac index and compare it (https://www.economist.com/big-mac-index) and the 75 million would become about 165 million.

One option would be to allow the migrated users to setup a mail forwarder for free. If you don’t pay you can only access the forwarder configuration, which would be enough for most use cases.

It’s not the art that you buy, it’s the “original URL” that belongs to you. You buy a treasure map leading to a princess. It’s your princess, that’s what is says on the napkin, but everyone can fuck her.

So every accusation of cheating/plagiarism etc. and the resulting bad grades need to be revised because the AI checker incorrectly labelled submissions as “created by AI”? OK.

Yes, but only when NTFS was still young, though. As it matured and became more reliable it also became “fat<ntfs”, to put it in your terms.
