  • So too, we could force OpenAI et al to compensate the copyright holders from whom they scraped data

    Fuck expanding copyright's power in any way. Effort better spent on making AI content illegal to sell or another way of ending corporate profit off of it

  • Much easier to ask maps "restaurants near me, plumbers open near me" than having to watch gemini type something out and "rate your plumber" forums, or worse aggregated yelp links.

    Even easier to just slap the thing you're looking for into the search bar and then read the reviews and get directions all from the one webpage, why did you bring Gemini into this?

    Nobody will be affected by this

    Nobody I know opens maps to search shit, every one of them would be impacted by this

  • So you admit to paying 0 attention?

    YePowerTrippingBastards on my home instance is a good starting place, have fun

    Or, you know, play the classic .ml card of pretending you don't know what we're all talking about

  • So how about maybe not judging the whole of a thing on those that claim to align with it- yet show no similarities to it.

    Maybe if the people who are pro-equality shouldn't grasp onto their gendered term so hard. Kinda weird that out of one side of their mouths so many people will say it's about equality for all but insist we must use the feminine term over the genderless one we already have

    Don't want to be judged on gender lines? Don't use gendered terms to describe yourself, simple

  • I say the same about calling the movement feminism

    If men are equally welcome in it, it's not feminism anymore, it's egalitarianism, but every woman I've ever seen it suggested to flips their shit while every man I've seen it suggested to goes "yeah that makes sense"

  • My neighbor's daughter just let a pregnant pig die in birth because she was too stupid and incompetent to check on it during labor for 4 hours

    They're out 1600 bucks and have to get another one or they're not gonna get the 4H certification or whatever

    I'm very tempted to see if I can report them as such complete failures that they shouldn't ever be given another chance. Because they are, and shouldn't ever be allowed animal ownership

  • The other replies were about going at all, but that's not the key here

    She said he'd lose clearance if he went, that means the things he'd say were psychotic and he knew it

    His wife allegedly shared a trump tweet and said she read them to get the desire to kill people, that kind of statement to a therapist will get your clearances revoked fast

    So the guy was a massive shitstain, knew it, and then offed himself pathetically. AKA your standard trump supporter

  • As a head CSR for my job : no mod I've ever seen is anything close to providing customer service and it's hilarious that you'd even think that in passing

  • Cute game

    Suddenly ended when one of my mods mislabeled 1 post despite basically all of my stats being in the green

    So, you know, totally realistic and all

  • have to ask, are they just being used as a scapegoat?

    Look up the status of the coupling that caused the camp fire and you'll see that it very much isn't, there are pictures of how worn the fucking thing was that they didn't replace for something lime 80 years despite knowing it was in bad shape

    They're a monopoly that raises prices to cover the cost of the fires they caused through negligence

    If you have a tinder-dry forest, yes, the most likely spark is going to be from a faulty electrical line. But sooner or later, that forest is going to burn

    While our forest management isn't perfect by any means, if PG&E had done basic line maintenance then multiple of the worst fires we've seen wouldn't have happened.

    And that's on top of all the usual monopolistic horse shit they pull on us normally, they're a shit company to begin with BEFORE you factor in the fire starting

  • The third party one I got is 25 bucks

    The official one is 80

    No power brick is worth $55

  • Man, that can be solved by the states doing that enforcing that federal tax isn't paid or x, y, and z happen, resulting in you no longer owning your assets in that state

    The issue is the US military, not corporations, if a state bothered to do something like this they're obviously not going to just stare wide-eyed and open-mouthed as the corporations ignore the entire fucking Point. You might, but that's because you love the taste of boot

  • When I got mine originally (pre ordered like 2 days in so I got mine 6 months after launch lol) I was doing a TON of travel and it replaced my switch

    It then sat mostly unused for almost 2 years because I never gamed away from home and fuck paying for their dock

    Finally got the JSAUX dock a couple weeks back and now it's almost fully replaced our entire main TV entertainment center

  • Had something like that a few years back at a local brewery, they made 2 kegs of it in whiskey barrels for their anniversary, and that was IT

    Lady told my brother and I about it when we were admiring the smell coming off the used barrel, said to come back the next day so we could have some of the second keg

    Got there at opening, saw them pop it and pour the first 4 glasses, handed it right to me

    Thickest, nuttiest, most flavorful beer I've ever had and it had fucking 19% ABV

    They called it Soul Destroyer, and it did, for I cannot easily find something that good ever again

  • And who's going to shut them down?

    Again: without the State-Level enforcement they currently rely on OR an invasion of any state doing this then there's nothing that the feds can do

    Also: just gonna ignore citizens like that? Lick. That. Boooooot

  • You see homes being destroyed and re-built in flood-risk areas that should simply be moved to a better location instead.

    Difference is that, as was already stated, PG&E are the major cause of a lot of the fires that result in places being deemed as high risk.

    This isn't the same thing as hurricanes: humans can absolutely help stop fires from being the issue that they are

    Living up to that bootlicker tag I gave you

  • I don't think that's all that surprising, really

    Just a great example of non-Americans getting a taste of "what, you don't know what state this shape is? What are you, stupid?" That they like to give us for not recognizing the shape of Lichtenstein on a map

  • For Californians, yes

    I expect that the 2030 census is going to have us growing again

  • The IRS can't hunt down the current tax evading people even with state help

    If state enforcement stops helping federal enforcement and the state tells everyone to stop paying their federal taxes then short of an actual invasion by the US military there's basically jack shit the fed can do

  • So.... They're responsible for the misinformation sent to my device against my will now, right?

    Obviously not because our leaders need to be killed brutally where all can see what happens, but in principle?
