I've always heard them described as seagull managers. Screams loudly, shits everywhere, leaves.

Parents, copyrights, and trademarks are grouped together as Intellectual Property. They're all quite distinct however.

Politics.

And even if you do have the talent internally you can still seek specialised feedback on your work - most authors work with editors for example.

The only reason this case is notable is because of the reactionary response to the "woke" games industry (and games journalism in particular). This is just another round of nonsense in this culture war, so people on either side are staking out ridiculous positions.

They're just a consultancy service - hardly worth investigating. Seems that they purport to offer expertise on how a developer can improve diversity and inclusion in their products.

Like any consultancy, whether they can actually do this and whether their clients will actually implement it effectively are another matter entirely.

The Steam group creator seems to think either they're garbage or that their clients' approach to diversity and inclusion is garbage. (Or maybe they're just some alt-right incel Nazi )

Exactly, so the use of "crash" would generally be far better for these sorts of articles.

"Accident" starts addressing intentions or expectations.

We could just add easily refer to them as "vehicular violence" but then we'd end up distorting things in another direction.

Except that they're not. NFTs take something that exists - like domain names - and injects unnecessary Blockchain bs. What added value does a Blockchain bring?

Cyberpunk probably isn't the best comparison - the basic core of the game was just fine on release. It was the last generation console performance that really killed it. I've had more game breaking bugs with the Phantom Liberty expansion than I had at its original launch (though there are far fewer cosmetic bugs now). Would love it if Redfall does improve though, Arkane have put out some of my all-time favourite games.

Using it to train on is very different from distributing derived works.

As someone who's not used these things, what's wrong with a basic handshake to establish the comms channel?

"Hey, are you listening?"

"Yes, go ahead."

...

Isn't that all this really is?

Seems a weird thing for people to be uptight about.

In my last couple of jobs I've found that most of the software required for work is either available as a web app or runs just fine on Linux. There have only been a handful of users needing Windows to do their jobs. It all depends on what your role is.

Have you considered moving somewhere that's better aligned with your values? It's not something to undertake lightly, but I know that moving helped me a lot. Totally different situation for me though.

For me it was basically just moving somewhere bigger, even if I didn't get much better at making connections just knowing it was possible made a difference.

Good luck to you.

I thought the point of the LGPL was to allow this sort of usage without requiring the release of source code. It's an extension of the GPL to remove those requirements isn't it?

Plagiarism involves an extra act of deceit. You're passing off someone else's work as your own. It appears most people find this immoral.

Also, copyright is a monopoly on the publication of the work - piracy as it's commonly used wouldn't even be considered infringement.

Sometimes it pays to not go looking for problems.

The staff at such places can decide whether they want to ask a group to move on. Respect their choice to do so and stop trying to police your friends' behaviours over your own fears.

Shameless plug for NZ: https://www.timetoscreen.nz/breast-screening/sign-up/

But then of course you'd have to live somewhere that isn't the greatest country in the world.

The ability to modify the code is a central tenet of free software. The GPL takes care of making those modifications available to others. That effectively is the payment the original devs get.

Sure, there's always going to be outliers. Most people live and work in the same metropolitan area though - they're not driving 50,000km+ a year. Besides, having a vehicle with 5 times the effective lifetime is going to be a big win regardless of how much you drive it.

Braking does not increase range. Regenerative braking reduces the losses involved, it doesn't eliminate them. Your last sentence makes it sounds like not braking enough will lower your range - that isn't the case.

Can confirm. The rosellas were delightful. The Ibis were pretty awesome as well -such a trashy looking bird. Ours at least hides its shame (kiwi).

Sure, but if you're planning on sticking around in America, or care about its influence worldwide, shouldn't you at least try to steer it towards the least worst option?

Pretty sure he'll still say it.

When has reality ever mattered to him (or his supporters) before?

I don't think so. Those users had opted in to share information within a certain group. They've already accepted the risk of sharing info with someone who might be untrustworthy.

Plenty of other systems do the same thing. I can share the list of games on my Steam account with my friends - the fact that a hacker might break into one of their accounts and access my data doesn't mean that this sharing of information is broken by design.

If you choose to share your secrets with someone, you accept the risk that they may not protect them as well as you do.

There may be other reasons to criticise 23andMe's security, but this isn't a broken design.

Something transformative from the original works. And arguably not being being distributed. The model producing and distributing derivative works is entirely different though. No one really gives a shit about data being used to train models - there's nothing infringing about that which is exactly why they won their case. The example in the post is an entirely different situation though.

About 87% of the population in my country live in an urban environment, many of them will just have no idea how it is even just a few miles out of a city. There's just no alternative to personal transportation, and bikes don't cut it.

I'm still pretty much on board with the fuck cars crowd though - it's bizarre to me that despite so many people living in our cities that our transit seems even worse than what the US has. It's just so much nicer being in places with fewer cars around.

I admire your optimism, but I think the black socialist professor and intersectional activist might find it difficult to sway enough votes on either side. It's a shame you don't have a better voting system where you can rank your preferred candidates - would avoid much of these stupid games.

We bought our apartment 10 years ago, if we were to sell today we'd be lucky to get what we paid for it. That's because we've just had a repair bill come in for about the same amount.

Still prefer owning to renting though.

I think most places would view such a refusal as grounds for disciplinary action against the lawyer.

New Zealand for example has legislation to address this: https://www.legislation.govt.nz/regulation/public/2008/0214/latest/DLM1437864.html

There can be good causes to refuse a client, conscientious objection is not one of them.

This'll be the real reason.

My comment was just unhelpful and inappropriate - a bad joke aimed at puritanical Americans.

Thanks!

I missed the site wide rules.

Yeah, that sort of rule requires a lot of faith in the moderators. Seems like they're probably violating it themselves with their moderation.

Perhaps I don't really understand - looking at the world news community on lemmy.ml rule 1 seems to be about only posting links to news articles. None of the things on the mod log screenshot look like news articles. Isn't this the mods doing their jobs correctly?

The OP's situation seems completely different to this and it's definitely a problem - what am I missing about the rule 1 stuff though?

You'll come across good and bad wherever you travel. When we travelled in Japan a few years ago we found pretty much everyone we dealt with was friendly and helpful. We didn't speak any Japanese.

I wouldn't bother renting a car unless you've got a specific plan for it - their public transit is excellent and will still take you out into the countryside if you want.

The strictness really only applies to gun ownership though - if you just want to shoot there's plenty of places you can do that.

Exactly. Here in my country we just have amateurs doing it (badly), we need more Germans.

They're just pointing out that Windows does this too.

But with copyright you don't get to make that decision, the copyright holder does.

Copyright has little to say in regards to training models - it's the published output that matters.

Me observing that it's cold out and offering to sell you some gear so you can avoid frostbite isn't extortion.

Me threatening to break your legs if you don't buy something is.

Hope that helps.

Almost entirely digital now. As for why:

  • backlight
  • font size adjustment
  • built in dictionary
  • local library closed for a few years
  • lighter/better form factor than most books I read

I find I buy far more books now that I have an e-ink reader.
