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.

Yep. I also didn’t think this would work as well as it does. Remarkably good platform so far.

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.

Could also just be quite a bit further along the autism spectrum.

Hard to say for sure, but he’s never struck me as sincerely psychopathic. Narcissistic sure, but not really psychopathic.

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.
