Guess they don’t have windows in Belgrade

I worked in apartment maintenance for a bit. That is a requirement for low income housing, at least in California. If it doesn’t have one or it stops working for any reason, the tenant can claim unlivable living conditions and not pay rent until it’s fixed. This is true for many types of problems but you asked about garbage disposals. Also the property could potentially lose the designation of low income housing which means losing the federal/state subsidy. Most tenants don’t know about this and choose to move out instead after a few rent increases. On the other hand there is a list of “problem tenants” that landlords share and if you end up on it then good luck finding a new place to rent.

The future of net neutrality is already decided, has been for a while. The only question is when. Does NN end now or later. We already let the wolves in.

I think if there was something happening, people would be protesting. Probably happening all over the world if it was bad enough. I think a terrorist leader died recently so surely if they were involved, then they were the good guys.
Right?

They didn’t spend a fortune on licensing for nothing.

Think of the lawsuits.

Are you suggesting a Bitcoin exchange also dabbles in selling Magic cards?

Piracy is a service problem.

Yes but also it is increasingly becoming a price problem

You just gotta let the sink in or something

Carlson gave Putin a platform. I see a trend forming.

Not to be that guy, but how long until the assassination attempts?

Red Sparrow is the better Black Widow movie.

And it is attached to a subscription service that rotates games on a whim.

I don’t entirely agree with you because what you are saying is basically stop here. Here sucks. Hard. The window shifted. We need to shift left a bit imo. That includes taxing rich more and spending it in house not abroad. Military doesn’t count. They don’t need the extra money. And yes, authoritarian tendencies are bad. They are just made worst by a strong loyal military. How long before they remove the clause about not following orders that are illegal?

Front + trunk

This isn’t the first EV to do this. It’s not even the first Tesla to do it.

I don’t think OP is asking for merch of that Lemmy. The platform Lemmy has a mascot, just like Reddit. They are not the same thing. I understand people not knowing who Mr Kilmster but doesn’t everyone here know who the mascot is? With that said I wouldn’t mind some stickers or something.

Maybe instance owners/maintainers can fire up an Etsy shop or something similar to sell stickers and 3D prints relating to whatever instance they run. I’d be okay with something like that. As long as they don’t go full “creator warehouse” where the instance becomes secondary to making sales.

I’ve heard this argument thrown out before but my issue is always that you have a permanently declining user base since you can’t buy more copies. This is a band aid delaying the inevitable. It will not allow a game like this to live forever.

I still have that feature on a few different browsers. Mobile and desktop. What browser are you using that doesn’t?

The FCC and the government at large isn’t to blame for this one. The ISPs collected the governments money to run high speed Internet to the rural parts of this country. Blame your ISP for not using the funds as intended. Maybe also blame the government for not holding them accountable for not delivering.

Creating material that is copyright infridgement is not a desired output

Agreed.

the purpose of guns is to kill (when used).

Guns is a term with varied definitions of which not all are intended to kill. There are rubber bullets, air soft, small caliber, and even paint ball guns. These MAY be lethal but were made with other goals in mind.

Nvidia on the other hand made GPUs for applications that revolve around video, the G literally stands for graphics. Some people found out that they are also efficient at other tasks so Nvidia made a new line of products for that workload because it was more lucrative. Gamers usually only buy 1 graphics card per machine, a few years ago some would even buy up to 3. In contrast, AI researchers/architects/programmers buy as many as they can afford and constantly buy more. This has made Nvidia change their product stack to cater to the more lucrative customer.

AI manufacturers depend on copyrighted material to “train” the AI

With everything I said, these AI creators CHOOSE what to feed into these new tools. They can choose to input things in the public domain or even paid-licensed-content but instead using copyrighted and pirated content is the norm. That is because this is a new field and we are collectively learning where the boundaries are and what is considered acceptable and legal.

Reddit recently signed a deal to license it’s data (user generated content like posts and comments) for use with AI generation. Other companies are using internal data to tailor their AIs to solve field-specific problems. The problem is that AI, just like guns, is a broad term.

the method of creation makes it more likely to infridge.

Nvidia has given us the tools but until we define what is considered acceptable, these kinds of things will be inevitable. I do believe that the authors had their copyrights infringed but they are also going after the wrong people. There have been reports of AI spitting out full books on command, clearly proving that those works were used to train. The authors should be going after the creators of those specific AIs, not Nvidia.

There is a long and bumpy road ahead.
