Well I agree in principle (I disagree that AI training is necessarily “stealing”), but downloading copyrighted material for which you do not own a license is textbook piracy, regardless of intent

Well yeah but shift insert is annoying as hell since the keys are so far apart

Huh, the meta-analysis you linked doesn’t really align with your point though (excerpt from the conclusion, emphasis is mine):

Key practice implications

The causes of obesity are manifold and cannot be attributed to one single cause, such as overeating.

In most cases, including polygenic obesity, the factors causing obesity are modifiable.

How is what you quoted “standing up” to anything? Am I missing something?

Lol

Yeah it is because you don’t have to worry about responsive, cross browser compatibility, limiting asset use, accessibility, SEO…

I was surprised to have a fairly unusual setup with fairly unusual peripherals, and everything pretty much worked out of the box, except for one software (philips hue sync) for which there is an open source alternative (huenicorn, and it wasn’t built-in as Linux drivers are, because it’s specialized and requires a special interface)

When you ask for a refund under Steam’s 2h/14d policy, it’s Steam offering the refund. Past that, the request is passed on the developer

At least that’s how I’ve heard it described, idk for sure

what does this have to do with this post

Choosing not to participate in the two choice system is how you get a third choice btw

No

It’s a very good teacher when you’re a dev learning a new language

Yeah lol, a lot of “I need to do X” and I often get “use functionThatDoesX then” and sometimes it’s a wonderful discovery, most often though it just doesn’t exist lol

They only implemented those in bedrock edition, available in the MS store… I’d rather they add it into Java edition so us Linux gamers can use them, and not tie them exclusively with NVidia

Mojang’s “stealing” started from at least the pistons in 2011, 3 years before the acquisition. Credit was given to the original mod author under “Additional programming”, and they did reuse the actual code from the mod

I don’t think it’s fair to call that stealing, for multiple reason:

• copyright of game mechanics should never be supported, if we serioussly consider this stealing then a lot of innovation will be completely hampered, and videogames will be subject to abuses worse than what exists in other creative industries. Copyright on game concepts would be akin to copyright on camera angles, special effects, etc…
• mods are only available on PC. Taking ideas from the community and incorporating them into the base game makes the content available for everyone, even vanilla PC players
• Mojang’s has been very decent with OG mod authors, often being assisted by said authors to incorporate their content into the game, see how they worked with the author of Mo’ Creatures, a mod for animals, to add the horse into the game

When in history has it not been a problem?

Well then the concept of declaration of war you’re presenting is worth jack shit since the US has ravaged countries for decades after 1942

All it means is that congress’ approval is not needed to wage war, so this threat is way closer to a declaration than what you estimate

Stop infantilizing women.

"Are they consenting adults"is the only question people should be allowed to ask about a couple without being publicly shamed.

Well yes, but newer CPU models such as 13th and 14th gen Intel CPUs are also susceptible to these attacks, my points is that Apple is no exception to this vulnerability and should not be singled out for it

Side channel attacks are as old as computing, and the specific CPU variants exploiting speculative execution have not simply occurred on 2018 hardware and stopped since; pretty much all CPU architecture is susceptible to some form of speculative execution exploit, Apple simply is not an exception to the rule, and I think it’s unfair to call them out as somehow incompetent for making the same mistake as literally everyone

We can laugh all we want but this issue was present on x86 hardware first
