What's kind of funny about this response is that the other post reads like a deadpan joke, to me, based on the premise there is no limit to the crazy you can find on LinkedIn.
And he's not saying that Israel is a US colony, at all. He's saying Zionism as an ideology is centred around colonialism in the classic British sense of the word, e.g. "take other people's shit by force".
Frankly, Mehdi isn't wrong here. Using a religious text as a source for historical information to excuse the genocide in Gaza is antithetical to what Maher says he stands for and makes a hypocrite of him.
This is a great way to think about it, goes along nicely with the idea that even the smallest acts of care can have a huge impact on someone's day. Simply engaging with someone a little can be enough to make them feel better. It might even be fair to say it's What We Owe To Each Other (for fans of moral philosophy, and/or The Good Place 😉).
The equipment for making paper pellets includes hammer mill, dryer, pellet making machine, pellet cooler and pellet packing machine. For small-scale production, the dryer, pellet cooler and packer are optional.
Where would an open source LLM that you run locally phone home to, exactly? It requires a lot of GPU compute, do you think someone's just going to give that away for free, without even requiring an account they can turn into saleable data?
But wait, there's an even better way to be sure: download OpenHardwareMonitor so you can watch your GPU go to 100%, and this or GPT4All or something. Then airgap your computer, and try it yourself.
So I have a nice phone, a very nice monitor and mechanical keyboard, and a good computer. And all with the right to repair philosophy. Same for my wife and kids.
Jeez man, I'm happy for you, but most of us are stuck with stock model bullshit that broke in 2016. Go brag about your consumer friendly right-to-repair family in c/BuyItForLife.
(I kid, of course 😊 Solid approach you have there, smart and sustainable)
He's going to court without a lawyer, which is always always always a bad idea (I wish that weren't the case but it is a fact);
He's tried to claim he doesn't own or operate the business in question;
His defenses are spaghetti thrown at the wall:
His defenses include fair use, invalid copyrights, a lack of standing, fraudulent inducement, an arbitration clause, failure to state a claim, and unjust enrichment.
Many of these (in fact, all but the arbitration clause; that's probably from their TOS but won't save him) are SovCit arguments and simply do not apply. They're going to be dismantled in seconds in court, and I know that with at best a slightly-better-than-layperson understanding of the law. This guy is going to get thoroughly Bowser'd.
As reported by Torrent Freak, Ryan Daly, the alleged owner of modding company Modded Hardware, has denied any wrongdoing in court — even that he owns and operates the business at all.
Daly mostly responded to the lawsuit's claims by saying "denied" and otherwise claimed he lacked "sufficient information to either admit or deny the allegations." His defenses include fair use, invalid copyrights, a lack of standing, fraudulent inducement, an arbitration clause, failure to state a claim, and unjust enrichment.
This guy sounds halfway to SovCit and entirely fucked.
Yeah, she waived her right to anonymity, not automatically. She chose to, and it's her lawyers arguing these videos should be seen by the world. She is willing to give up her privacy like that to show exactly what these monsters will do to defenseless people. Absolute badass.
Everyone talking about how octopi is incorrect and at the time of this writing not a single comment contains the correct plural:
