Unfortunately TOS consist of words and words cannot constrain technical affordances. There has been a black market of scraped discord data for years (it was even sold on the public web at spy.pet). Stuff like this is probably the only way

Yet if a citizen of the country makes the same identical speech and has the same identical ideology, it’s now 100% acceptable and should carry no legal consequences? What is it about the specific combination of speech and citizenship, which

So? If this information is so obvious, why did you feel the urge to state it?

> you feel like a first-class customer like you do with e.g. a Systems76 machine I don’t think the comparison with System76 is fair as long as Framework isn’t interested in opening up their BIOS firmware.

Anna’s archive is a mirror, hosting the original Sci-hub collection (i.e papers published up to a few years ago). There would be no Aa without sci-hub.

It’s crazy how blunt and unapologetic American imperialists are about their tactics and selfish motives. Hello and good morning.

Biden’s federal spending undoubtedly contributed to inflation. So will tariffs, just in a different way. So why suddenly start caring about prices and what influences them? It’s interesting how people develop this kind of analytical blindne

VCs just need to make sure there is enough hype by the time AI startups IPO, so that they can cash out. It's part of a bigger trend in finance, arguably caused by quantitative easing. It's why Uber could IPO, while they had never

I can't tell if people have started to genuinely believe this, or if those posts are still just ads by chatbot investors.

This is literally a chicken-egg problem. I’m not sure why you’re taking such a fundamentalist stance

How did you measure the increase in LBM? This requires very advanced technical equipment. My suspicion is that you have noticed an increase in muscle volume and assumed it to be an increase in muscle mass. Those are largely due to water ret

Depends how you look at it. Admitting you are in over your head, that you cannot do justice to an ideal and choosing to step aside (despite market demand being secured), could be seen as an act of humility, as an act of respect and reverenc

I don’t really have the energy to debate it in detail, but I wanted to let you know that personally I found the article extremely insightful. In fact, I ended up reading two other in-depth articles written on the same site. I can see what h

It’s not explained so I have no idea where AI is involved, which makes this all the more alarming. I would seriously ask anyone considering the use of computer generated information in healthcare to do some soul searching and ask themselves

This isn’t the place to go into detail, but the author mainly argues against a Western conceptualisation of Buddhism, which is sadly divorced from the original meaning. If you want to study Buddhism, don’t rely on people reinterpreting it f

It will never stop being funny to me how you can take an argument in American politics, directly apply it to the opposite side, and it will still be mostly true.

The vehement tone was unwarranted and encouraging an attitude of self-assured “common sense” is very problematic, when there are many agents, both commercial and political, who can use it to avoid suspicion about their closed source ecosyst
