Reminds me of sand theft. Apparently, sometimes even an entire beach gets dug up and stolen. Planet Money did an episode on it. https://www.npr.org/transcripts/628890875

Was this thread downranked by the flame detector? It's almost cute that a topic like this can get our community worked up :)

You can't prove unknowable things, but you can have bayesian arguments about their probabilities. For some people it's meaningless, for others it's interesting to speculate.

IIRC Marco also said that he is happy with the status quo. He really doesn't want to have responsibility for any moderation/curation and is happy to defer to Apple in that matter. This was shortly after Apple removed Alex Jones&#x

Patreon – no. You pay a subscription to YouTube and you don't get served ads. Some of the money from these subscriptions is then divided between the creators, similar to how Spotify works. YouTuber makes more money on average when a Yo

> As I posted just upthread, a blueprint has a lot more detailed information than a recipe. Well I disagree with this, but it's a useless discussion to have.

Haha, good name. When ChatGPT was released, together with a friend we personified it for fun and called "him" Geppetto. We've even had many conversations with ChatGPT trying to convince it by various strategies to accept the

The same applies to recipes. Recipe = Blueprint.

Apple didn't wipe anything out. Hackintoshes exist. It is probably only a matter of time until macOS eventually drops Intel support, but we are far from there.

Yes, to me this combination is pretty unethical. Similarly, I don't mind piracy, but I find it distasteful to pay for pirated content.

You don't always get thrown out. Part of the game is monitoring the atmosphere on the floor and behave accordingly in order to not get thrown out. Even if you do get thrown out it is already after you have won some money thanks to your

I don't think it's a good explanation. If I had no idea what Yandex is, the title would make me think it is a Google subsidiary to evade sanctions or something.

They do, both iOS (and iPadOS) and Android. You are correct that it is pretty interesting how they went around implementing the interface. Look up some YouTube videos if this interests you. Another clever thing is that you can connect an iP

If that was true, deforestation wouldn't be much of an issue. We've changed the face of the planet massively.

Yes and no. The deep web has long been much larger than the observable one. What I'm worried about is a new set of legal precedents that will make it impossible for Archive to legally rehost the content they have scraped.

Interesting, but also a bit worrisome idea. I wouldn't be comfortable knowing that someone else can buy the adjacent subdomain anotherfirstname.mylastname.name and be associated with me in the eyes of anyone who doesn't know how t
