Is this true?

Great question. Gmail is still OK, but if love to degoogle more.

Thank God the government is here to protect us from dangerous people like this man. /s

These anti piracy commercials have gotten really mean.

It’s a little different than that, isn’t it? More like: " look at what I built, here’s a step by step guide that makes it work. Do with it whatever you want." Some people want to use it for their job. Others might use it for personal use, or to build more open source projects.

I think it’s more due “corporatism”, where government and certain privileged large corporations work together to enrich themselves at the sake of others. Technically not really capitalism, which is just a system of trade which uses capital rather than barter to facilitate trade. It’s important to be clear on these things if we want to fix problems.

Well yeah, I think this news will reduce sales. Bad business move really.

Shut down their access to computer stores and the power companies while you’re at it. Only fair. No piracy without computers or power.

I use it and find it works just fine.

What’s wrong with freecad?

2 billion social security numbers? What’s the population of the US?

Not surprised. Like chromecast audio, chromecast couldn’t really serve an adequate amount of ads. Basically it’s only value was it forced you to use stock youtube app to stream preventing any adblocking, but if you cast your screen, then it can’t stop adblocks, so it makes sense to discontinue this product. There’s some open source projects out there that might be worth looking into, NymphCast is one I saw, uses a rasberry pi.

I don’t support piracy of Adobe, because you’re still using their ecosystem and still supporting it by propagating its use. Just stop using their trash, seriously.

You’re right, not sure why all the down votes. I think people don’t get how big a difference 3d modeling is from technical drawings.

Can’t use add-ons for iOS Firefox as far as I can find

Dude. Regulatory agencies are corrupt as heck. There’s no incentive to be a good auditor and actually dig deep to find issues and lots of incentive to have no findings. They’re all buddies with the management.

Shower thought: what if a large number of people made lots of posts and comments on reddit using only AI generated content?

People are mad to realize something they thought was spiritual and purely human can be reduced to a mathematical algorithm and be generated by machines.

Some claim they’re mad that it’s because the training looked at art without permission to develop the algorithm (which everyone knows all artist do, making those people look like complete hypocrites), but that just sped it up. It would have happened eventually anyway, because the fact is, art is not spiritual or uniquely human, it’s patterns and shapes, which computers are great at.

The theater just projects pirated copies rather than DRM copies

Right? This guy has never heard of passion
