At this point, I'd like to ask: If a foreign company threatens democracy in a country, is it legal for the executive to ban business with that company?

No? Then that doesn't make sense. It's a FOREIGN company, the government should have the right to do whatever it needs to protect its citizens in that regard.

says CEO

Since when do CEOs do things because they're actually useful and not because they want to cut costs at the expense of the workers and even the public?

    It's worse because the more bored you get, the more stimming you need. You need to stand up, move around, focus on anything that is NOT the conversation because it's driving you insane and you NEED to get out. If at least you could fidget with anything but nope! It's bad manners. It's even worse if you're sandwiched between two guests and you need to SIT. STILL.

    And then I end up stimming with my foot anyway until a close relative nudges me hard to stop doing whatever I'm doing because it's "not polite".

    Fuck that shit. Since then I don't go to family meetings anymore, let them say anything but unless I'm really getting something worth it in return, I'm not. Doing. That. Anymore. Fuck that shit, sue me.

    In this case I think the bullshit wasn't his, but his parents'.

    Rich people never stop telling their kids that the poor are poor out of their own fault.

    This guy did a great sacrifice trying to show the world proof of his beliefs, and learned valuable lessons in the process while unlearning the bullshit he was taught.

    If I ever had to choose a rich person to become a politician, I'd pick this guy. After all, he now knows what being poor really means.

    There's a youtube clip where a cat looked at the mirror and started touching its own ears the moment it saw them in the mirror.

    Okay you're being a bigot. You know why? Because people aren't demanding to be called "your highness". They are just asking to be called with their preferred probouns. Putting neo pronouns aside, it's not a heavy burden to be called he / she / it / they.

    And this is the internet! The are no bodies, only usernames. Why do you care if a person claiming to be a girl demands to be called a she? Oh my fucking god,what a scandal! The oppression imposed upon you, a free citizen, demanding that you have to use a pronoun different than "he" on the internet! The world is doomed! 😱 /s

    What you're really asking for is the "right" to harass trans people (by misgendering them) because you don't like them and abhor the idea of women having something extra down there. (it's not like they're plotting to force sex you, just leave them be, okay?) Not only that, you're so obsessed with hating them that you went out of your way to post your biased opinion ON A LINUX FORUM.

    You're being a transphobic asshole, and the mods were perfectly right in banning you.

    Just accept that there are different people in the world. If you have a problem with that, maybe it's you who needs professional help.

    1. Establish a wage floor.

    2. Establish a price cap.

    If the corporation can't make a profit from this, then perhaps their business model was not viable in the first place.

    What constitutes fair use?

    17 U.S.C. § 107

    Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 17 U.S.C. § 106 and 17 U.S.C. § 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.

    GenAI training, at least regarding art, is neither criticism, comment, news reporting scholarship, nor research.

    AI training is not done by scientists but engineers of a corporative entity with a long term profit goal.

    So, by elimination, we can conclude that none of the purposes covered by the fair use doctrine apply to Generative AI training.

    Q.E.D.

    For Google, hosting an app is just a matter of keeping an entry in a database and its data in storage. It's not about the difficulty.

    Furthermore, that app COST MONEY to the user. Here Google is not only removing the app from the store, they're also UNINSTALLING it from the user's device, without warning them, and without compensating them financially for this.

    To make things even worse, their malware detection algorithm is prone to false positives. There's not even a degree of certainty, like "there's a 20% chance we could be making a mistake." A binary without tolerance means they are removing things only on the SUSPICION they could be malware.

    I had a very useful open source app - that I installed WITHOUT Google play store - removed from my phone. It was never submitted to Google and neither the author nor I EVER agreed to their app store remove third party software from my phone.

    Google have become control freaks over our phones. The only solution I see is to install a third party OS, like Lineage or Graphene. I might even have to buy a new phone for this, but I don't care. I don't want Google to assume the role of Nanny and take away control of MY devices that I bought with my own fucking money.

    GenAI is a bubble; it will crash sooner of later when companies realize how much money they'll have to spend on the infrastructure.

    Doubt it. GenAI requires a shitton of resources, both in storage and for processing. Training a GenAI requires clusters upon clusters of NPUs and/or GPUs, even more than crypto miners and 3D renderers. The full storage requirements are proportional to the amount of training data you give, so expect them at least to be dozens of gigabytes long.

    I doubt AI companies do it "for science" (yeah, right) so if they're shit down by a court of law they'll just shut the thing down. They can upload the code somewhere, but without training data their engine is useless.

    It's delusiona to think you can beat the nazis on their own terrain. Say anything uncomfortable and suddenly you're banned.

    Twitter has removed efficient moderation and practically given carte blanche to bots and trolls.

    Do you see ay infosec people on Twitter anymore? No, they all moved to Mastodon. In fact they were the first to move. Orgs are starting to move. So did Mozilla. So did LibreOffice.

    Money can buy influence, but if you gather enough people and move away, the platform will sowly fall into irrelevancy. The only thing you accomplish by staying there is giving them legitimacy.

    Good callout. Even Twitter images shouldn't be hot linked but copied and pasted for preservation purposes; if a copyright takedown happens, then it happens. But at least we don't risk having access cut because of a corporate killswitch.

    If Twitch is a gaming platform, why is there a "Pools, workout and beaches" category? 99% of streams there are hot babes in bikinis, with some linking to their OF accounts in their profile. And then there's the fashion show with models in skin tape that most of the time only covers the crotch and nips.

    Now, I'm not against streamers showing skin; Twitch can definitely open an "After Dark" section only available to adults and still forbid explicit or simulated sex. But the way all this fiasco took place screams bad management to me.
