As long as it is repeated often enough, everyone will accept it and most will also believe it. Even when corrected later, whatever was repeated more often will live on. This is why all the things you are supposed to believe are repeated and

How did the industrial revolution relate to copyright? Seems related to patents instead. In the context of copyright we are talking about books in that century. Shakespeare predates copyright. Though, we are not only talking fiction, but al

The industry can just push and promote people it picked itself and then bind them some other way. How would this work with open software, which is not public domain and often sees the original creator step away down the line?

I want it gone for decades already, but no one listens to me. It has always been my hope that AI can finally make it happen by incentivizing people with bottomless pits full of money to solve the problem.

If that was the reason, it should be completely abolished as the exact opposite was achieved. See for example this article [1] > unlike neighboring England and France, Germany experienced an unparalleled explosion of knowledge in the 19t

But why should this be allowed? Fairy tales are still popular, but they don't have copyright either.

My unfocused mind tends to be completely empty. For example, when I'm just looking out the window and think of absolutely nothing. Though, for some reason whenever I tell people I think nothing they think I just don't want to tell

I'll start caring once this arrives on sub $200 phones and only once my current sub $200 phone completely breaks down. Not that I have to pay - my company buys my phone either way. But for some reason you need to go sub $200 to get dua

I separate everything by decade > type > year (of start date). Don't even keep multiple seasons in the same folder if they are from different years. Still ends up mixing all types within a decade. But I prefer splitting things by

By using a bunch of CLI tools and self-written scripts. I don't use streaming (though, mpv can likely handle it). Prefer to have all media I use locally. Don't watch video on my phone, either.

Plenty of shows continue in a movie, like Firefly (2002) -> Serenity (2005), so I can see why you'd want to mix.

I do run a Jellyfin server for family, but I don't use it that much. I just do everything through a terminal, like I do most other stuff. It's faster and less finicky, I feel.

Not necessarily something everyone enjoys as much as I did. But I wish everyone to find a book that he enjoys as much as I did: https://www.webnovel.com/book/reverend-insanity_799685840600...

Is it a stretch to imagine a compromised LLM writing compromising code? I've been operating under the assumption that LLM code might be bad and not working, but I hadn't thought about it compromising a system.

If the novel is any good, you'll continue reading despite not setting away time and it will also be worthwhile to read in every minute of spare time you can get. Just finished up my second re-read of an unfinished book that kinda ruine

I'm regularly charmed by the idea of e-readers, especially really small ones like this. But then I remember I already have a phone where I can comfortably read on for hours with an aggressive blue-light filter that turns the entire scr

My Blu-ray rips do not. Yes, I also couldn't watch a Blu-ray in a normal player. Too many ads.

I don't mind as long as it doesn't take me out of the story. It probably helps that I don't recognize most products being placed, as I do not know ads. Thinking about it... product placements do introduce an interesting dynam

Sexism is defined as prejudice or discrimination based on sex. Prejudice means to form an opinion before the facts are in, but if the facts are there and support you, it is not prejudice. Discrimination is fairly broad, but in this case can

It's how our brain works. I don't think anyone can see long term success cutting out things that stimulate our brain in just the right way. If you cut a few out, you'll just discover some others. Things were a lot better for

Or by just not having all these choices. I always found it odd that in the English speaking world you have .org(anization), .com(mmercial), .gov(ernment), .net(work) and maybe more that I can't think of right now, but in other countrie

Who was it again that said money is thrown out the window without any concern, you just have to stand below the right window? It was true then and it is true now. Really helps if the money you are throwing out isn't your own, too.

It's just pattern recognition at work. None of the male-led scams have "being male" as a talking point trying to sell the scam, so it's about as notable as a scam founder wearing black shoes. But now "female led&quo

I couldn't imagine engaging with any form of media where the possibility of being exposed to an ad exists. I haven't seen an ad in over 20 years now and I can't go back. Only watch Blu-rays and when I do Youtube, I do it thro

Other Wikis nobody knows or uses aren't really alternatives. Just like Odyssee isn't an alternative to Youtube. Unfortunately Wikipedia exists within a collective blind spot, so I am not expecting the situation to change. At most

I never used either Twitter or Mastodon and don't quite understand what people use these platforms for. But I hear folks saying they are there because other people they know are there. How would it work on Mastodon if you want to commu

That's called localizing and I can't stand it. I prefer when things are kept 1:1 as is and maybe there's an explanation for things that don't quite make sense as a footnote.

I can think of the following: (1) Translation from one language into another (2) Transcription from one medium (audio) into another (text) (3) Deception to obfuscate your thoughts (4) Posting things like "First!", "This.&quot

That doesn't really explain why people went there, only why they stay. I remember back in 2006 when Twitter was new and I still couldn't figure out why anyone wanted to use it. So I never did, to this day.
