What if is there are sad but nonetheless valid explanations for the massive civilian death tolls?
Can you think of one that doesn’t make Israel look like they’re doing Holocaust 2.0 in order to clear the Gaza strip for Israeli settlers? They’ve committed several war crimes, including maiming and starving children.
So when does the economy get super bigly tremendous? It’s gonna be majestic, I tell ya.
And then after you guys appeased him
And then after we appeased him
I’m going to assume you’re not Canadian due to the “you guys” part and let you know that the $1.3 billion was already agreed to with Biden and was pre-allocated specifically for border control purposes at the end of 2024.
Downloading isn’t the issue, it’s seeding (uploading to other peers, which is considered distribution of copyrighted material).
I used to use YouTube rips, but I hated that the music video version isn’t the same as the album version and I kept getting songs that were a shitty bitrate because they’re not all available in at least 320 kbps.
I can hear all sorts of noise in a lot of my old files and it made my mix CDs noticeably sound like shit. I’m happy that you guys are happy using it, but for me it’s more of a last resort.
US invasion of foreign countries seems imminent.
If you’re a soldier and you give a shit at all, you’ll defy the orders when they come in. Fighting and dying for this would be pathetic and you should want to be better than that.
Hey, Judge Chutkan, when they can’t produce them because they don’t exist/were destroyed/are being concealed, are you actually gonna do anything about it?
The real question is which consumers; I can’t imagine that Trump is in the business of giving things away for nothing in return.

I’m pretty sure Hanlon specifically mentions that it must be “adequately” explained, and these events are not adequately explained by stupidity alone.
Nice, looks like a bit more care went into the visual presentation in comparison to Project Gutenberg. Thanks for sharing.
I read a ton as a kid too (probably averaged 3-5 books a week for many years), as an adult it’s hard to escape the cycle of wanting to feel productive but I’ve since tried my best to remember that reading for pleasure isn’t meant to be productive in the capitalist sense. It’s an investment in your own happiness, in my opinion, and that can be productive in other ways. Trying new genres or quick “summer reads” has helped me not get bored.
I mostly just don’t read much because I have other hobbies I like more and tend to watch a lot of video content and browse social media. I didn’t really do any of those things much as a teen, other than a bit of Facebook because everyone had it. For me it’s not the priority that it used to be, but I have a book server for easy access when I get the urge.
I used short essays and short stories to get back into reading, maybe that approach would help you. They’re really old, but try A Modest Proposal or some of the satirical essays by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens), they’re short and sweet and inspire a desire for more.
What about it? It’s another software. Did you mean to reply to the original commenter?
Have you looked into KiCAD? It’s FOSS and Linux-first.
You’re still banging on about Anthropic? I used it as an example to make my point (which is that commercial usage of copyrighted works is illegal, nothing about making/distributing copies or uploading or whatever you think you’re talking about).
But you’re up and down this thread bending over backwards to not have a good faith discussion with people who are not lawyers, so it’s incredibly difficult to take you seriously and at face value.
Why does the customer/user matter at all here when they’re not party to the lawsuit? You can have no customers yet and still infringe on copyright by using something for commercial purposes when you’re not licensed to do so. That’s how licenses work.
Of course, that limits the damages since there arguably hasn’t been any harm (which doesn’t make it legal), so lawsuits aren’t usually filed at that point; it’s usually a cease and desist. Also, I don’t have to argue anything. I’m not a lawyer.
I can show whatever movie I want at my house with my friends and that’s legal, but if I charge $10 to show it, that’s not legal. I don’t give a shit, because I pirate everything and show it to whoever I want for free, but that’s the law as written.
Receiving a copy of a copyrighted work (from anywhere) and using it for commercial purposes when the license doesn’t cover that usage (or simply doesn’t exist) is, in fact, illegal. This is why Anthropic was sued last year.
You can buy a US congressperson for as little as $10-15k depending on the state, so that really can’t be it. Check OpenSecrets for confirmation.
