“will this large spend ever pay off?”
That’s the neat part: it won’t!
Just your typical internet guy with questionable humor
“will this large spend ever pay off?”
That’s the neat part: it won’t!
It wasn’t gay gurries, it was a group of straight scalies!
Meanwhile, scamming on instagram is totally OK, because they pay for ad space!
Neither of them are very sharp
You know what, if I have a boy one day, I’ll name him Pascal. Hopefully, he won’t develop a lisp
Imagine a cabal of COBOL programmers called Cobol or Co Ball
Ads for the toner, which they’re wasting because fuck you, and also ads to not use third party anything, lest you want the printer and your computer bricked.
If it was popular, they’d fix the issue. It’s not popular, so they’re just trashing it, like nearly everything else that comes out of HP
a person’s right to exist is not a political issue, it’s a human rights issue
The funny part is that you forget or ignore the fact that human rights is a political issue, thus the right to exist is political.
Meanwhile, I just search “watch anime online” on ddg or yandex and check around, while ublock origins does its job and ensures I don’t get harassed by ads and shit clickjack javascript (the ones where clicking anywhere opens the ad). A good pirate never makes a single port his home
EDIT: Ok, something that really caught my attention in the article: In April, (...) Japanese authorities arrested and prosecuted China-based owners of "one of the biggest illegal anime websites," B9GOOD.
- Now THAT is unexpected. China complying with Japanese copyright for a change?
So long as you’re willing to skip the first 8 minutes and play the next 20 seconds at 0.25 speed, where he very quickly glances over the problem, then goes on for another 10 minutes to talk about something unrelated in minute detail
I think for ongoing properties, it could create an interesting competition between different companies/artists, and I’d expect the original creators to fully cash in on “I’m the creator of [whatever], this is the real canon!” in order to keep loyal customers/fans
I fully expect game companies to not like this one bit, because live service games, like World of Warcraft or Fortnite, would, sooner or later, have to release source code in the public domain, allowing anyone to check it, create identical, better or worse clones or, worse, hacking tools that might still work on the more current version.
For stuff like the current offering of Adobe that relies so fucking much on “the cloud”, now that would be tricky and another significant battle, as they’d eventually have to give up the code for Illustrator, Photoshop, etc, as well as whatever server software their cloud uses, or point to said cloud’s owner. The same would apply for Autodesk, Corel, Microsoft, Apple and Google. Imagine finally having an open source Windows XP! 😆
EDIT: What is a lot more likely to become problematic is server-side bank software and some government software that is used for a country’s respective army or intelligence services. Boy, THOSE will definitely fight, or want a very specific clause for their cases, which makes sense.
Are you saying that the copyright is held too long?
I personally think so. 20-30 years for the authors would be enough, in my opinion. For company held copyright, it should be 8-12 years, counting from the date of creation - transferring the rights back to an individual would NOT give any extra time
That’d make basically every game and movie become public domain after a decade or so. If you applied 30 years of copyright to everything, nowadays we’d have public access to every game released up to 1994, which means the majority of the SNES and Mega Drive/Genesis catalogs.
Too bad any change wouldn’t apply retroactively, so we’d still have to wait for the 2030s to come by before 1940s stuff becomes public domain.
Google’s trying to find the guy responsible for all this
So, you’re telling me google search has gotten so bad it can’t even find info on its own workers?
To be fair, the actual article links to the paper and the real punch is that the research does not point to any of the many AI blunders made by google itself
Also, my personal highlight from the article
If you read the paper, you can’t help but conclude that the “misuse” of generative AI often sounds a lot like the tech is working as intended. People are using generative AI to make lots of fake content because it’s really good at doing that task, and consequently flooding the internet with AI slop.
BAR - Beyond All Reason, for Total Annihilation/Supreme Commander style RTS, learned about this one in another thread here on lemmy
Zero-K - similar premise, plays different from BAR, also the graphics seem less demanding
OpenSoldat - 2D arena shooter. For anyone that never played or saw something similar, think of multiplayer maps of halo, quake or unreal, but if it was a 2D platformer
Not quite open source, but Daggerfall Unity is a FOSS update to the engine for Daggerfall, a game which Bethesda has made free for years now. You can get the game off GOG, too.
My bet is most will go either with bluesky or threads, because “everyone is (moving) there”
The problem is that M$ likes to ensure that their stuff saved as docx won’t render properly when opened on libreoffice. Fonts, headers, position of tables, many things can look out of place because fuck you for not using MSOffice
Title mentions speaking italian
Not a single hand gesture anywhere
I’ve been duped
Someone should upload those to the Internet Archive, just in case.
Or upload them to a yandex drive
Then again, if you don’t have the JVM/JRE, Java won’t work, so first you need to write it in another language and in such a way that it works across a bunch of different ARM and x86 processors.
