The flip side of that is that instances large and small outside of the influence of the government can do as they please and people can use other means, like VPNs, to access them.

They have literally been doing this with every older game they’ve ever produced. New system? New larger price to play on the new system.

We can’t sell corn to India. We can’t sell rice to Asia.

This part is hilariously stupid because there isn’t a block of those exports. It’s a block on genetically modified foods. These countries have a lot of common sense policies concerning the sale of GMOs because they do not want to get stuck in the monoculture death spiral that the US agricultural sector is stuck in.

Why in the world do we let these people sell their cars? 94% of cars in Japan are made in Japan.

This is another stupid one. The Japanese don’t like idiotically massive cars. Which is 90% of what American carmakers sell.

IIRC the original US copyright law as written by the founders was 25 years or so. The extensions on that have all been in the last 70 years or so due to mega corps like Disney.

The problem with Musk and Dorsey is that they want the copyright laws to apply to them but no one else. “Rules for thee but not for me” mentality of the wealthy.

I can honestly see a use case for this. But without backing it up with some form of technical understanding, I think you’re just asking for trouble.

If you are believing what those things are popping out wholesale without double-checking to see if they’re feeding you fever dreams you are an absolute fool.

I don’t think I’ve seen a single statement come out of an LLM that hasn’t had some element of daydreamy nonsense in it. Even small amounts of false information can cause a lot of damage.

What exactly is the benefit of using an LLM? Why would I bother using one at all?

You realize that the only reason Lemmy hasn’t become so enshitified is because the user base is too small for the corpos to seriously target it yet. The day Lemmy has more than a million users the army of bots will not be too far behind.

the USA offer: less morality, less market

Europe needs a different partner

The OG CEO is from the 1800s so yeah. And yes I’m thinking of Iwata. And look at what was produced during his tenure. That’s the Nintendo everyone is nostalgic about nowadays. 1989 Nintendo was a corporation throwing spaghetti at the wall, 2000’s Nintendo was streamlining the end gamer experience, 2020’s Nintendo is looking for an easy paycheck.

Nintendo is being exclusively run by suits now. The era of a game company built by gamers is over.

Let me spell it out for you. Trump has removed our cyber defenses and now he’s defunding FOSS projects like Tor and Let’s Encrypt!…

Now Trump wouldn’t know a FOSS project from a hole in the ground but do you know who does? What world leader who has an entire cyber attack force on his payroll and wants to remove any barriers in finding dissidents who are probably using Tor to coordinate and hide from them?

Do the math. If the government funding of these projects is allowed to be removed it’s gonna be a whole new ballgame on the internet and the only ones to reap the benefits are the dictators.

You will never approach the amount they receive from government funding. That is the point.

I had read that Steam on WINE is pretty stable. Is it not?

The critics were right

Goes to prove that LinkedIn is just exactly like every other social media platform despite what many people seem to believe.

There is also a cyber war that has been going on for the last 2 decades. And Trump just recently lowered all of our defenses.
