AND we didn’t even get the Earth-Romulus War! They skipped the one major canon event of that time period!

I wish the worst acts of violence and cancers upon every IP landlord.

What are any of the neolib scum who created this whole situation doing to fight for a liveable future? Voting for Gavin!? YOU are part of the problem. Do BETTER neolib sheep!

This is the kind of Labrador dog logic that has cooperatively led us here like good boys. If we put the fear of GOD in these people in 1990… or 2000… “what better place than here? what better time than now?”

Always has been always will be, I have always been against “intellectual property”

Had they just started reducing emissions by 1%/year in 1993, none of this would be happening to begin with. The definition of too little too late.

Even if you did get rid of copyright (which they don’t actually want, they just want a carve out for their LLMs) it wouldn’t matter for anything owned by major players. For example, there was a gap in US music IP law for like 40 years for anything from before the system was nationalized in the 70’s (IP rights were a state-level concern for music before that) but if you legally copied a Beatles album from the prior state system, the rightsholders would still sue you into oblivion by sheer force of lawyers and infinite money. In a system that allows the rich to use money to just grind you into dust with no recourse, what is actually legal is somewhat irrelevant, it’s how many dollars of capital are you pissing off.

Wow, that saying, “if you sit by the river long enough the corpse of your enemy will float by” is 100% true! Amazing!

Harvard (and all these elite institutions) stand on VAST piles of wealth for what exact purpose if not this?

This is missing tuxedo Mastodon

When you spend infinite billion dollars through your regional “partners” who knowably executed 9/11 bombing a country for a decade and the rebels STILL take the capitol and you have no real targets because you have forged Dune-style Fremen, while you officially ally with Al Qaeda as the government of Syria a few years after surrendering to the Taliban in Afghanistan… #winning

This is from some manner of misguided SEO or native advertising or similar campaign… this is NOT going to help anyway, this shit is sooooo below scumbag threshold in a world where forum links don’t count…

No idea, I’ve had lemmy.world blocked for like a year

No idea about that claim, but Flyingsquid and all his flying mod monkeys have made him the Spez of Lemmy.world and I will have nothing to do with that shit instance or the shit people on it and will shit on them all any time I can. Fuck Flyingsquid up his flying neolib ass.

I agree with Norm Finkelstein that Jewish supremacist is the better term. Nobody wants an intellectual lecture about who owns what land and how semitic monotheism began in the 6th century BCE so inherently ALL Semites have equal claim to all this shit, but after 70 years of inundation about protestant white racial hierarchy being bad, we all get what is meant by Jewish supremacy, and if you’re not one, you’ll agree it has gone too far and needs to be stopped.

Where was this when former US GOP congressman Justin Amash’s christian family was bombed to death while praying at a UNESCO heritage site church for “being Hamas” two years ago?

The comment thus far are a little oversimplified… Yes, the feed is just an XML document, same as the HTML page, but there are several relevant differences. Yes, in theory, one could use server logs to determine which IP addresses make which requests for what documents, but in practice… Making things run and spying on people tend to be two different departments. With HTML, unless you block all javascript and have no images load, tracking javascript and tracking pixels will be invoked by your browser and those DO go to the tracking you department. If you hit a webpage it is FAR more likely that data goes somewhere for you to be spied on than just downloading an RSS feed (although individual items in the RSS feed may well have tracking pixels).

Fuck lemmy.world. Fuck flyingsquid. 🖕

Try it, you merchants of slop in a sea of available historical media plus youtube and tiktok

Yeah, the GOP has had this weird boner about weather data being “free” for decades, but we pay for that via NOAA because the military needs to know the weather. Now we will get no NOAA and a weather service that exists only for the military at 1000x cost, benefitting no purpose other than murdering foreigners.
