People say it's not true because people confuse copyright and trademark. It isn't true for copyright at all, but it is true for trademark. Incidentally, this is why Richard Stallman objects to the term intellectual property. It bu

Yes, one of the biggest mistakes I see some people without children make is believing that they have no vested interest in people raising children.

Right where I've landed as well. I just won't buy titles with Denuvo DRM, ever, no matter how much I want the game. Was pleasantly surprised to find Doom Eternal is now on GOG a couple of days ago. If you're willing to wait,

By this definition, putting a brick on the accelerator and tying the steering wheel in place is self-driving.

I talked to Simon Phipps about this back in the mid-2000s, so I understand where you're coming from, even if I disagree. I'm curious whether you classify chromium, AOSP, or sqlite as open source.

This happens to me with words I know every few years. I think I was in my 30s when I realized rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as a ratio . Mind blown.

This is exactly the way it should be done. Device with parental controls enabled disables content client-side when the header is detected. As far as I can tell, it's a global optimum, all trade-offs considered.

I do view interracial marriage the same way. The answer is very clear to me, but I know it's a constant topic of discussion across the world in different societies, religions, and cultures. Right now there's a debate in my country

I'm not sure what you're so upset about. He gave a thousand dollars to a political campaign that was in favor of outlawing gay marriage in California. This is standard political stuff that people can agree or disagree on. What&#x2

You're probably going to want to take a look at how your smartphone battery is made. You're taking a principled stand on the basis of not using a browser from a company cofounded by a guy that voted differently than you, but it so

Indeed. I wonder if the folks rejecting Brave have also vetted the political beliefs of everyone that delivers their packages, manufactured their phone, and grown their food. The injection of politics into absolutely everything is so arbitr

Brave has probably the most comprehensive and transparent page of any browser available about what features it supports, how it makes money, and who is behind it. https://brave.com/about/

75mg per shot = 450mg caffeine That's a bit over the recommended limit of 400mg a day the Mayo Clinic, FDA, etc. recommend. Not sure it it qualifies as 'enormous' or not.

I'm in the middle of this book right now, and I agree. It's a fantastic read to get inside the psychology of the folks that are making huge decisions about how society works.

Yep, clocking a run right now that's averaging about 8.7t/s. But when I don't mind waiting while I go eat a meal or something, it's not bad! EDIT: I'm running the Unsloth Qwen3.6-27B-Q6_K GGUF on a Corsair Strix Hal

When they came for the smokers, I did not care, because I was not a smoker. There's a general trend of trying to "optimize" society to remove all ills, and once you apply that logic, there's no clear stopping point. Once

I make very heavy use of sources that Gemini sites when I use it. I tend to use AI as sort of a mega search engine where I get a little bit of discussion, but if I care even a little bit about the topic, I end up reading the source material

For what it's worth, I've generally sort of been on the "information, wants to be free" side of things, and I still am. I don't really understand the folks that released their software under open source license and

Yeah, I was tracking this when it was first announced and they were very adamant that there was no longer any excuse for a vendor to not integrate age checks because they had now released this.

Agreed. Been running a Strix Halo box since mid-2025. Lemonade builds of llama.cpp with Unsloth or Bartowski quants have proven to be excellent.

So my son and I have used Kdenlive quite a bit and we've never had it crash. That's why I was asking for specifics: it would be interesting to know what circumstances lead to crashes, even if it's just a hunch.

Arguments like this are much more compelling if you cite specifics rather than giving us your own conclusions.

For all the players of the original Morrowind out there, you'll notice that your character movement gets extremely janky when you're well outside of Vvardenfell because the game was never designed to go that far from the origin. O
