Oh my god. Absolute dumbasses at the record companies actively trying to act evil. Barely anybody will stream these and it sure isn’t so malicious of the ‘store’ selling these records is doing it for free.

I mean how many people are actually going to buy these ever again? Also their damage claims are per usual pulled from the oceangate depths of their ass.

If anyone remembers when torrenting was big and the riaa was essentially claiming something like 20%+ of the US economy’s value in lost profits. These people don’t munch on crayons, but they really should start because it would be a more intelligent hobby to take up.

This is such a terrible application. These things would drain their battery just running the pi and electronics. Why such a high power platform for such basic functionality?

This screams of free money flooding startups. Amateur hour.

Straight to jail.

The one time congress actually did a case study on drug pricing they found that in all the internal discussions a drug company had while setting the price R&D costs were not mentioned even 1 single time.

So it’s got nothing to do with profit.

This is actually awesome to see. Sadly the main thing holding Linux back is still just momentum. And for a lot of people MS word. Even if the free suites are pretty good nowadays.

That’s one heck of an interesting statement from the police chief. Odd how prevalent this is across the world…

I suggest you read the research papers on Lyme and form your own decision too. The CDC is hardly comprehensive.

Like the fact that the infection can actually remain dormant and undetectable in people for long periods of time.

I’m also pretty sure the estimates on number of people who get Lyme per year vary wildly depending on who you want to believe.

Actually here is the cdc saying 476k

Anyways. Lyme is a tricky one because not everyone has a reaction and it’s impossible to say how many people are carrying it dormant.

Drunk driving seems to be severely under prosecuted for well to do and connected people.

I think it’s changing partially due to body cams now. But it’s still pretty bad.

To be honest I don’t know. I’m continuously surprised by how few politicians and rich people are shot by people they have wronged.

Like if it was your only kid or something I don’t know how you hold yourself back in the face of this kind of injustice.

He is spot on.

Algorithms and AI aren’t even any different. AI is literally a complex system of nonlinear functions. It’s not black magic.

If I wrote a traditional nonlinear alto with computer optimized parameters it only differs from ML models in that it’s less complex. Not understanding your product is not a defense.

Just waiting on some subs to start moving here. But yeah I’ve seen huge decreases even in the volume of posts. The quality of comments has also gone off a cliff. I think the most engaged users were a tiny subset.

Definitely lost the rational and measured discussion crowd although they were always shrinking as a percentage. It’s even more outrage and dumb hot takes now.

As LTT said. Threads is the result of the Zuck flicking his tongue out and tasting blood.

But I mean we (society, not me, miss me with that) are still clearly subscribing to a social media site run by the lizard people and calling it an improvement.

Which says a lot.
