  • Well he claims he is a multi-billionare with over 400 million in cash and a total of almost 10 billion in assets, I'm sure he will be paying something that small quickly and with no drama whatsoever. Right?

  • It's not "like", that has been the argument with these piracy cases for ages. If I pirate 100 movies, it obviously means that if I couldn't have I would have gone to the shop to buy each and every one of them. It's even worse for anyone caught distributing the downloads, where a site host can be hit with this logic for every user download ever.

    Apparently these days they are claiming that movie and TV piracy costs the US film industry $29-71 billion a year and the US GDP a cool $115 billion in total
    Because, you know, we have all that money just floating in our pockets now thanks to piracy.

  • If there is an exe, it's under the releases link. On desktop it's on the right sidebar below "About". On mobile it's at the bottom after the readme blurb.

    It's not obvious because the code is the main focus and GitHub would much rather people host their releases somewhere else.

  • Näinhän se on, Suomenkin olisi vaan pitänyt heti nostaa kädet pystyyn ja antautua kun talvisota alkoi. Röyhkeää toimintaa Suomen johdolta sotia, siinähän kuoli ihmisiä hirveitä määriä!

  • ...why the fuck does a program running a benchmark on my PC need a "free slot" to function?

  • Stainless steel also stains. "Stainless" does not mean "never stains," just that it stains less than other steels.

    Endless Spotless Stainless Steel is a steel that stains, has fewer spots, and ends a bit later. The logic of English is all but senseless. Which means it has everything except a bit less sense.

  • Robots.txt has been always ignored by some bots, it's just a guideline originally meant to prevent excessive bandwidth usage by search indexing bots and is entirely voluntary.

    Archive.org bot for example has completely ignored it since 2017.

  • And the only cat I've known "not to like" belly rubs absolutely loves them, but he will also try to claw and bite the shit out of your hand while you do, which is why you use an oven mitt while giving them.
    Like, he will literally try to bring you that oven mitt and roll over for you in anticipation.

    Or maybe he just likes murder.

  • Thingiverse at least tries to help a small bit, that's why the remix functionality is disabled on the site for the benchy.

  • And Air Canada is free to sue the legal entity chat bot for damages after firing them all they like, after paying the customer their refund.
    Though they might find out that AI chatbots don't have a lot of money, seeing as they aren't actually employees and they don't pay them anything.

  • Fully 3d printed ones, yes. But you can print all the plastic parts of a Glock, buy a kit of parts that don't require any verification at all and assemble a fully working one that is about as good as a genuine glock.
    Or go a bit further with the FGC-9 or countless other similar things. The fewest actual gun parts used in successful firearms are in .22lr pepperboxes which use only barrel liners.

    Here in Finland, I couldn't do any of that, because barrels, liners, trigger assemblies, magazines, ammo, they all require a background check and having a license to own a firearm. As would those printed Glock upper/lower parts, if I had access to the kits making them illegal to own.
    Instead of, you know, the 3d printer?

  • That "slicer file is public domain" part would probably not be valid as benchy has a "no derivatives" licence:

    If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you may not distribute the modified material.

    That overrides the requirement of "share-alike", meaning you have to use the same license for remixed or derived content, as you aren't allowed to release any in the first place.

    Unless the creator has received permission from them, of course - that overrides all licences.

  • Because almost every country and economy has been built on the assumption of exponential growth of a constantly renewing pool of young workers that will pay for the upkeep of the growing elderly population. For example, currently 18% of the Chinese population is over 60. It's going to be roughly 40% by 2050ish.

    The planet will definitely be happy though. Humans, not so much.

  • Making a VR headset from aluminium and glass with nothing to balance it in the back is yet again another perfect example of Apple going hard with form over function.

  • At least it makes some sense, as they are mostly based on ISO 3166, as well as:

    the international vehicle code for South Africa has been "ZA" since 1936. ZAR serves as the ISO 4217 currency code for the South African rand. South African aircraft registration prefixes also start with Z.

    SA is the country code for Saudi Arabia.

  • Yes. Other common ones include .fm for Federated states of Micronesia, .io for British Indian Ocean Territories and .ai for Anguilla.
    .be, of youtu.be, is Belgium.

  • That's required for the non-root installation to login to YouTube, yeah. If you are rooted you can modify the patch list and remove microg.

  • Sadly yeah. But those turbines could run on almost anything, fuel oil is used simply because it's the cheapest and there are no laws (or very few) saying they can't. At least they capped the sulfur content rather hard a few years back, so there is some progress.

    And it is a situation that could be fixed with legislation and money if there was a will to do so as the tech already mostly exists, and it wouldn't even necessarily require huge changes on the ships.
