The actual 1st world thinks differently. 😒

The fact that California is one of those 4 is fucking mind blowing. They banned smoking and legalized weed but can’t be bothered to stop child brides from happening???

The fact that so many states allow marriage at 16 is concerning. 🫤

Watch the Republicans set their hair on fire in response while introducing legislation to allow more child workers as well.

The party of family values.

Oh sweet summer child.

and the US is not an easy place to unionize in.

Moreso now than ever before.

Yeah, the people who trade that stock are stupidly invested in him personally. They’re hoping he will come back and reinvent the wheel at Tesla again and things will turn around for the company immediately. They don’t take into account at all that he’s completely burned down the connection to the people who primarily bought his stupid cars. And the MAGA crowd is either too poor to afford them or are completely uninterested in EVs.

No, but don’t you understand? Tesla is not a car company, it’s an AI company. They were just making cars while developing AI systems. So it’s fine if they stop selling cars. So just keep buying TSLA stock and everything will work out great!

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.

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.

So, essentially, the bill was defeated because 17 Republicans realized that this bill would devastate their meager tourist trade as well as the tourist passthrough revenue. Because the law was so astoundingly ambiguous that people who aren’t taking those drugs for gender affirming care would be subject to arrest and harassment by the police.

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.
