The original Napster was much easier than piracy today IMO.

Not really. Back then you would have to buy CDs and rip them. And downloading songs from Napster took hours. Now you can just use any of the stream ripping websites, copy and paste the link to a song/album into it, and it spits it out in a nice zip file in seconds.

Love it. Relevant xkcd

Okay YouTube, this is my list of the TOP 10 genders of 2024! Tell me how many on this list you know about in the comments below. Leave a like and subscribe and let's get into it. I'll also be having a new video out soon about the best genders upcoming in 2025.

Honestly, I get it. Getting mad about generative AI technology existing gives the same vibes as the people who were mad about Napster existing. Like... sorry friend, cat is out of the bag. We have to learn how to live with it now.

It's not just compressing images in an archive. The AI model is trained off the data, but it doesn't contain the data.

This is an interesting take honestly. A lot of art is made without much care or creativity. That isn't a bad thing. So why should AI "art" be considered inherently bad?

That might be interesting actually. I wonder what you would feel like after listening to 10 hours of keys jingling.

Of course you'll have a better time talking about gender with other gender enthusiasts. It's like complaining about how normies can't have a conversation with you about cars for as long as car enthusiasts could.

Costco has, notoriously, been very “woke”

Like seizing the means of $1.50 hotdog production?

we still get ads on our smart LG TV

That's when I hit the mute button, hold the remote with my finger on the OK button ready to skip, and use the remote to block my view of anything but the bottom right corner of the screen. Then when I see the skip button appear, I can click it.

Recently I have discovered that I can just use the "why this ad?" menu and select "return to video". That way you can skip any ad before the timer runs out.

Or use NewPipe

A hybrid drive... in MY 2024?

I just push on it with my hand

All that’s blocked is coverage for procedures that might result in sterilization - procedures that are already not generally done on minors who arguably aren’t yet capable of giving proper consent.

Not true. HRT is prescribed to trans minors frequently. Otherwise their bones would be fucked, as you can't safely live on just blockers for many years. And HRT can cause sterilization.

This doesn't have anything to do with Windows. This is ASUS's fault

You’d also have to commit thousands against their will

Or you could just offer them help rather than force them. Nobody should be forced to be anyones prisoner when they haven't committed any crime.

Every single organization system will fail. When we try to put things into categories, there will always be some things that don't fit. That is why every organization scheme needs a miscellaneous category. That seems to be the purpose of this drawer, and that's great.

It's from Bing and Esri. It's not copying anything, as aerial imagery is a different thing than a map. Also Bing and Esri imagery is specifically allowed to be used for OpenStreetMap purposes, likely because companies benefit from OSM data.
