I guess it means that no one here knows what Windows Debloated is and didn’t read far down enough to see regular windows marked as very easy to install.

Why wasn’t RSS as popular as the original Twitter?

I’m not sure what the answer is, but I suspect it’s the same answer.

I think they are talking HDD vs SSD.

I thought it was a great idea for official statements. Kind of like a new type of RSS feed.

Local transport companies can advertise delays, meteorology organisations can advertise natural disasters, police can post active missing person alerts, etc.

But it seems like it is just vapid narcissists thinking other people give a shit about their random thoughts.

Congratulations. You are either a pink smear or pink mist, depending on which direction you end up going.

I thought it was a trick by sign writers who charge by the letter.

Because touch screens are cheap and put the onus of design onto the programmers of apps.

The Red Dwarf bit on this is great

I’ve never heard an ad mid-sentence. Surely that’s an error on the podcasters side. Don’t they have to mark the timecodes for ad placements?

New tab tools.

You can even do a trick to make it your home tab

I plan to live forever or die trying

Wait, I thought /s stood for “serious”

The ones that pay are the ones running the ads. If the content creators have to pay, they will be the ones doing ads. This is how AV content has worked since the dawn of broadcast radio.

That spelling really changes the vibe

So, just like FFXIV?

You are conflating copyright and patents. Copyright is protection for the expression of an idea, like the art design. This is a patent issue, which is a protection of how something works.

If somehow I patent a vague mechanic like “a method of selecting weapons with the directions of an analogue stick or mouse, presented as an 8 direction on screen circle.” Then I could sue Red Dead Redemption and Batman Arkham, despite there being no copyright infringement with whatever game I made with that feature.

I think there’s no hard rules. I think in Australia, with the Dallas Buyers Club fiasco, the judge said a fair compensation for pirating a copy of the film was the price of the DVD, but because the studio were trying to sue a single individual for millions they threw the case out.

As far as know there is no precedent for piracy punishments on individuals. The best they can do is ask your ISP to send you a strongly worded letter.

It sounds like it is potentially more precise. You can use software to extrapolate the input without the typer realising their typing is being watched.

In this case the difference is that you don’t need to be in the same room as the typer

The charges have nothing to do with the content he uploaded. Are people so ready to give their opinion on AI that they assume AI must be the reason he’s getting charged?
