Property and property rights are defined by the society. It's not a natural law or something. If society agrees that property works in a "use it or lose it" manner, so it is.

Also, when you know something contains peanuts, you just stick a label "CONTAINS PEANUTS" on the packaging. You don't get the grocery store to ask everyone for a peanut allergy certificate before selling them a jar of PB, and

That's AAA TV content . Maybe a tellatle of an ongoing diversification of streaming services between "TV-like" and "cinema-like". Sure, all of Apple, Amazon, Netflix have dipped their toes into AAA movie production

Good point. Which makes me wonder why Netflix pushed back against EU regulation that would put content origin quotas [1]. They should be lobbying for that, as they would have to do very little (compared e.g. to Disney+ or Amazon) to be comp

This is essentially the ridiculous copyright laws backfiring. The entertainment market is stagnating (if not quantity, at least quality-wise) because the copyright laws stiffle innovation instead of fostering it. Early-comers (Hollywood &am

Who said anything about compilation? Compilation is the use-case that helped make to gain traction. Make has long become outdated for the specific use-case, but it otherwise remains a fantastic general-purpose automation tool.

I don't think there's a misreading. McLuhan argues that there is value for FOSS in FSF remaining independent and "radical". FS & OSS being in sorts of a (shotgun?) marriage, does not mean that they need a shared Face

TBF, it is not "this one point". It is the first point of an enumerated list of changes. Of course people will focus discussion on it, since it is intentionally presented as the most important one.

I find the proposed changes a bit disingenious. The gist is that Stallman should hand over the FSF franchise , to some unspecified persons, with free rein to do whatever they want with it, as long as it is loosely relevant with free softwa

Does US intelligence have access to OpenAI data? Private organizations is one thing. But with all the dopes in government positions around the world, OpenAI logs would probably be a treasure trove for intelligence gathering.

My point is that there is a plethora of alternatives which would be more concise in conveying whatever the authors had in mind. "Evidently" is a weasel word in this case, and it's just leaving us readers to speculate and argu

It would be interesting if someone could check if the game is available in Belgium, where loot boxes are illegal. And if it is available, is Nintendo blatantly ignoring the ban pretending that "firing the pipe" is not a loot box?
