Did you even read the article? They explicitly point out that it was the learned class that was so busy with their other important things that they missed all of it. The whole thing is about how that played out.

They got an estimate for the audit on expired copyrights and media use and though "fuck it". Probably going to monetize and re-release cleared highlights at a later date.

There really is no such thing as 'gamers', any more than there are 'movie-goers' or 'streamers'. Everybody does it. Some demographics will love to tribe up just for the sake of it. Some will just shrug and move

I've been online since the late eighties and over time I've seen some nasty NSFL stuff. I am absolutely certain this has shaped my world view to some degree. Like some other GenX-er said: "Internet is our Vietnam".

I wonder what they were all doing. Their special apps, like the iWatch, are below par and they are pretty much the last service that doesn't offer HQ audio. AI does most of the editorial playlist generation. What are nearly 10K people

Some manner of obligation to care for your pet (any pet) should exist. This has nothing to do with religion and is all about honoring the commitment you entered when you decided to take care of an animal.

I feel this might need some new form of 3D input to get it right. Our grasp of speech made us lazy: The core of what we want to communicate can be captured in sound and therefore words (and hence you can read and understand this). 'Com

It's not just about life-years. It's about the risk of making significant stretches of land uninhabitable for a serious amount of time. 26 Chernobyl-like releases would have punched some serious holes in the map of the Western wor

I'm grateful for this. It's a good incentive to finally quit Reddit completely. It's pretty much down there with Facebook these days but so far I've kept scanning it out of habit. But the new UI is so bloody toxic, I&#x2

So, I did exactly that and got a recommendation of up to 10lb per 100 sq feet, which is over 4kg/9sq meter, off the first hit.

I'm fairly sure a mode of transportation that can carry thousands and doesn't fall out of the sky when something fails has other benefits, even if the fuel/passenger ration should be worse (which I doubt).

I'm looking into making a house sustainable right now and the windows are actually a point of contention. One side thinks super-high insulated (triple pane) windows are a waste of money, the other swears by them. Assuming the frame doe

In the last ten years there has been a significant change in mainstream content from information (what) to personalities (who). A major driver has been the adoption of social media by the mainstream: Uncle Bob pawing his cell phone while on

I'm kinda disappointed how Hacker News derailed into a mob mentality towards the metaverse concept because big evil Facebook touched it. I, for one, celebrate the new age beyond text and (sometimes moving) pictures and can't wait

Interpreting animal communication requires an amount of empathy that not all people are capable of. And without spoken feedback or confirmation, it's easy to read too much into animal behavior. But animals can definitely sulk, which f

This. I have recently gone back to the Apple walled garden and it's a next gen experience that transcends platforms. Now I only have to worry about what I want to do, never about how it should get done. I never 'see' the actu

Ah, the digital naiveté of the nineties. Nowadays, cool URLS get changed on purpose so you have to enter the platform through the front instead of bouncing off your destination.

Four your consideration: I think the continued updating of the package and the Pi to keep it from turning into a security hazard by itself will prove to be more work than just whacking together a Pi.

What is the cost to the EU of standing up to FB? Why is this an invasion? How is the Australian clash of news monopolies remotely like Austria upholding the law? How is this criminal law enforcement? You're not making much sense to me,

Yeah, why would people not republish their content without all the monetizing around it? Hmmmm.
