Just like the other person, I used Vivaldi for several years, but then switched to Firefox. Zen is my current browser, and it seems to fit into the place Vivaldi had pretty comfortably. It’s not identical, but it has a similar niche.

Yeah, it’s a good Chromium browser. I used it for a few years before switching to Firefox browsers. If you have to use Chromium, I’d recommend it. If you can though Firefox has been far more enjoyable (I’m using Zen currently).

The book probably has nothing to do with Christian Catholicism, and is not a religious sect but a book. That’s a common mistake people make. Catholic is a word outside of that particular sect of Christianity. It means “universal.” In the context of Dune, the Orange Catholic Bible refers to a universal Bible that covers many religions.

It was produced after the Butlerian Jihad to be a basis for everyone to use. There are not “Orange Catholics” as far as I’m aware. Orange and catholic are just descriptions of this essentially encyclopedia of religious texts for people to form their new understanding with after learning to think for themselves once again.

Not just that. They helped them create everything they’ve made. NASA freely helped them design their rockets and gave them their information on technologies that would help them. SpaceX should be, at least in part, if not wholely, publicly owned.

Yes, that’s why my first comment talks about effort, compared to the amount of slop that can be made. You aren’t allowed to steal people’s work, and you’re also required to tag if your game uses gen-AI. It’s just prohibitive to keep up with all of it now.

The legal process though is a formal requirement to sue them. Valve doesn’t need to go through that. They could (and I think do) have a system for developers to claim that a game has stolen its work and request for it to be taken down. You don’t need to go to court for a private company to enforce that. It’s just that, again, it’s impossible to keep up with it now. It’s too easy to create a clone so, even if it’s taken down, another one can appear in its place trivially.

I think you misread what I wrote. It’s already illegal to steal someone’s work. If you’re making a game and releases a demo and then someone copies it, that’s copyright infringement. It’s not a rule that Valve needs to add because it’s an implicit rule because it’s illegal.

No, we have tons of direct names from the UK, and many other places. We have Londons, Norfolks, Portsmouths, and probably any other major city or region in Britain.

IIRC, the war didn’t start because AI started killing humans. It started because humans opposed AI replacing them. There was a religious sect (Butlarians) who opposed this, and they eventually rose up to fight the machines. They weren’t directly attacked first.

Steam already has the first two, and I’m pretty sure it has the third because it’s illegal. It’s just a matter of effort and volume. So many generated games can be put on Steam that it’s almost impossible to keep up. If they don’t disclose generative AI usage then it takes time to discover, and that time can steal the spotlight from the legitimate games.

For the same price with no tradeoffs? I’d like one. For a lot more with downsides? Nah, I’m good. I have very little need or desire for this. A normal phone shape handles 99.99% of my phone use cases perfectly. It’d be nice to have, but it’s not worth much.

First, this is the mid-terms. That doesn’t come into effect for two more years. Second, when has the law stopped him before? I’ve still seen nothing to imply he’s not running again.

Why do you think he still leaves if he cheats? Who’s going to find out, and who’s going to hold him accountable. Even if it’s discovered, he just yells that he’s framed, and if that fails he yells that he had to, and if that fails then he just yells that he’s allowed to, and there’s nothing the government, under his control, is going to do to stop that.

Maybe, but that’s temporary. The hardware has to be replaced after failures at minimum, if not sooner to upgrade. Yeah, there will be a period where the hardware may be cheaper, but the prices won’t stay at that floor forever (though they obviously also won’t be at the insane inflated prices of today).

Yeah, they’ll be fine assuming there isn’t an Enron level legal motion. They are sort of not on the hook for anything financially. I’m not sure how legal it all is though. I’m pretty sure it isn’t, but even if it isn’t it’s still a question if they’ll be held accountable.

Honestly, this is a counter-example to what you’re saying. Despite how many people have access to the internet, world renowned celebrities still only get so much hate-mail. Most people don’t do this shit, but obviously a small percentage is still a large population when multiplied by the entire global population.

In fact, as Copyright Lately‘s Aaron Moss points out, even the AI industry called the latest ruling a win, with tech industry group Chamber of Progress senior director of AI Adam Eisgrau tweeting that the ruling “implicitly confirms that highly transformative gen AI training to produce a hugely multi-purpose model with substantial public benefit is likely fair use!”

“We stole even more, so that makes it legal!”

In several tens of thousands of years. But also, you don’t get any. You’re poor. Only the elite of the elite get spice.

I’m sure they spend time on Linux in general, since it is the most common operating system (and includes Android, so even bigger). I doubt they spend much, if any, effort on the specific subset of systems that make a Linux phone different from another Linux device.

The new one usually won’t have the same issues at first, but they’ll have the same opportunities and motivations that lead to the issues. People will see a different provider and say they’re not doing the bad things, and they’ll be correct for a few years maybe, but then it becomes a struggle to get them to switch to the next thing. This whole problem would mostly be solved with open-source alternatives instead.

If I’m understanding it correctly, and I’m pretty sure I am, it requires a witness, like I said. That witness has to be trusted to not reveal any information. The receiver doesn’t get any information theoretically, but it requires that someone check your ID. That’s pretty obvious though because how else could it work?
