They stated they didn’t break piracy laws because they downloaded a shitload of books for their LLM and didn’t seed any.

Torrents are downloaded by “leeches” and put out for download by “seeders”

A proper ratio of what you downloaded to what you allow others to download should be 1:1 if you’re not a dick. (1gb downloaded means you need to upload 1gb to other users for 1:1) but if you don’t seed at ALL or if you only seed bare minimum to keep downloading things, you’re called a Leech, and derogatorily. Because you didn’t seed.

So they’re stating “we didn’t break the law, we’re just leeches!”

“could be ousted”

Uhhhhhh no.

Nobody in their right mind would listen to this.

The Russian Puppet never intended to allow support to continue and is making shit up to try and justify halting aid without serious backlash.

Musketrump and the MAGAts can get fucked. Unless they’re willing to go to war to enforce it, there’s 0 chance of it happening. And if they go to war for that, they’re going to have a hell of a lot of internal conflict that will absolutely result in blood. Militarily and civilian.

The fact that anyone can see this and think “yes, this is a clear sign we must invest MORE in oil consumption” is wild to me.

If ONE country is shelling out as much for renewable as the rest of the world spends on fossil fuels, then MAYBE, just MAYBE there might be something to renewables, especially given all the things we see daily about how much more efficient renewables are, how much money is in the entire industry, how quickly people are switching to renewables…

It’s mind boggling that anyone thinks fossil fuels are the future, or at least can convince other people that it’s the future all while caring about just the money.

I’d love to have a power wall and a wind/solar setup for all my energy needs.

The problem is not the price.

The problem is Ai “art” is inherently stealing the work of other people, and not in a way that a painter can say they were influenced by some other painter.

I mean, even if that is the case, so what?

Are other countries not allowed to have militaries anymore?

Space should not be militarized, in my opinion, but if the US is going to do it, then we don’t get to finger wag at other countries for doing the same thing.

You heard it here folks, you shouldn’t question something unless you are directly affected by it.

I haven’t logged into Facebook in over a decade, can’t even remember the login email. Can’t be arsed to jump through hoops to ask for it to be deleted.

Can’t imagine why anyone would willingly make a fb page today.

"They came first for the distros. But I didn’t speak up, because it was only Facebook and only Linux. "

But stabbing your neighbor isn’t exactly something most people are willing to do.

And any sort of attempt at organization leads to Alphabet Squad raids and whatever bullshit charges they feel like throwing at you after deciding you’re guilty of being a dirty commie/socialist/librul/not them.

My 30 year old grandma car can make it to 40 before I clear the entire intersection most of the time.

10mph is less than the indoor go-kart track barriers near me are rated for.

Security theater at its finest.

Honestly, anyone who paid mild attention in chemistry class can figure out some of the easier explosives.

It’s insane to me how many people just grab their phone and think “I’m good to go on an all day woodland adventure!” with no water, no food, clothing for an afternoon at the mall, and not even a backup battery for their phone.

I’ve actually packed extra clothes for someonein my bag specifically because I knew they were going to regret shorts and half a t-shirt. Cue 2 hours later they’re complaining about being cold when we’re in the valleys…

“no you don’t understand! People need to suffer because muh big gubment!”

“Oklahoma AG Condones Elder Abuse, Police Brutality”

Fixed the headline

Oooh, nice interrobang.

I mean, what were they going to do, say “yes we keep slaves, next question please”?

“while not criminal”

Hmmm. Making threats? Of a political nature in order to coerce change?

In my neck of the woods, we call that “domestic terrorism”, but they freely admit that to the world:

I’ve checked for the Azure Gate Bridge and whether green lights mean go, and so far I don’t think we Slid anywhere but keep your eyes peeled.
