I think it's because the people who want the smaller phone don't just want the smaller phone to the exclusion of everything else. Some want a flagship model, some want a mid range, some entry level... all in small form factors and

I doubt that's true. Is there a lot of fan art, yes, there's also massive amounts of original works as well. There is no lack of either.

None of that contravenes the purpose of copyright in encouraging the creation and sharing of new works. You could equally solve the issue by providing provisions for archival. Or a provision that requires a work to be freely available for s

We live in a world where there is an absolute abundance of art, music, novels. You can find it everywhere, huge amounts of it either free or very cheaply. In what way is the system as it exists currently failing to encourage the creation of

I regularly see posts on reddit r/royalroad where people write amateur stories and have their works stolen and put up on other platforms for money. https://www.reddit.com/r/royalroad/comments/1uwyuf1&#x2F

Theft in this case is bad because you're removing the ability of someone to make a living from the thing they created. On the basis it's digital. I don't care if it's digital, I care if it took time and effort to create.

That is not copyrights stated purpose? Copyright does not guarantee you an audience. Nothing guarantees you an audience, authors know this, everyone who creates anything ought to know this? Copyright just says that if you DO manage to creat

What does it matter? I don't think anyone has the right to take work I create, for free. In the same way I have no right to walk into your house and use it for free. In the same way you cannot expect me to turn up and work at your busi

> Does the free ad model just not pay anymore, or is the selling user data model just that much more lucrative that they would rather no user at all if they aren't logged in? Traffic from google is probably in the process of collaps

I hear this repeated often but I'm not actually sure how or why it's beneficial?

They don't want it monetized. They want it to go back to how it was circa the late 90's. In a lot of ways they're going to get their wish. LLM's via endless spam and replacing google search have basically made monetizing

I read a lot of amateur litrpg, prog fantasy and cultivation stories on royalroad.com I would guess I've actually tried to read more AI written stuff while checking out new stories than a lot of people in this thread. In practice what

Well it's google and google does everything through their accounts. But the principle of this can work on everything. Own an iphone, apple can do the same tied to the apple account. On a windows machine you can do the same tied the use

Doesn't seem like most of the people on this thread actually read what they're planning. It seems like a very good solution to me. It gives parents a simple solution to define the age of the phones user and a mechanism to allow ap

No offense but if you're proposing a solution that involves whitelists... that solution has already failed. The web is too big and changes too much and that's before we get to the issue of applying laws to a whitelist based on dif

Does anyone think the US would defend Taiwan at this point? I think that ship has sailed under the current administration.

I imagine it's because people are worth far more to advertisers than they themselves are willing to pay to browse. That and once you've given something away for free, for so long, it's very hard to then charge for it.

Based on previous conversations on this topic, I think the issue is that people don't actually prioritise the mini size above all else. In other words whatever size the audience is for a mini phone they are further fragmented into peop

Samsung was the first out with foldable phones 5-6 years ago I think? I don't think it's complacency I think the existing form factor is just overwhelmingly popular and good enough for most people.

That just sounds like terrible luck to be honest. Catching a cab from the airport in a new country after a flight is a pretty common thing to do no matter where you're going. Depending on flight length you might well be too tired to re

Yeah it is. Tackling climate change would've required people to potentially change their lives, possibly drastically and in doing so likely have a lower standard of living. And they didn't want to. They don't want to drive le

I think it's pretty obvious that nothing meaningful is going to be done. As a species we're not willing to sacrifice enough to solve this problem and I think we're probably out of time at this point.

If all it costs them were never having access to those chips again the chinese would've taken Taiwan already. The chinese want to invade Taiwan because they think it's a rebel province, their only consideration is whether the US w

They're uploading all the Mythbusters episodes to youtube for free as well. It wouldn't surprise me if in another 5 years much historical tv will be on youtube to watch for free.

I think "deciding whether to emotionally respond" to something... isn't emotion? Emotion is something you feel, not something you decide to allow yourself to feel. Like, if I hear about someone being raped or murdered, how am

Perhaps it depends on the individual, but I never found it possible. The news just made me sad, sad and angry most of the time, it's just a stream of 24/7 misery and if there's not enough misery going on locally the news will
