But scanning the books also helps those AI companies because ultimately they want more data. Yes, they also destroy rare books to sabotage competitors, and thus also damage global society - a reason why these evil companies should be disban

Several of the arguments are not compelling. For instance: "The C language is not just the language itself but all the developer tools developed for the language. Do you want to do static analysis on your source code?" This is a f

I used to play it quite a bit back when it came out. It was fun trying to build up a fleet without getting smashed by the colonial genocide empire (e. g. British and whoever else had ships). It was a bit too focused only on the pirate theme

We need to find a solution to browsers sniffing on people. This here refers to AliExpress, but which browsers are typically spying on people like that in the first place? That's the real primary problem.

I mean, the only way to test this is to require of Google here to release the source code. And then look at how a court will evaluate it. For instance, what if Google never sends the source code? What if they claim that no request made it i
220.
by shevy-java 29d ago
Courts would most definitely make a distinction here. For instance, one century would mean "refusing to release the source code". We should test how long it takes Google to release source code upon request. And whether it is 100%.
221.
by shevy-java 29d ago
Why would it be a "stretch"? The basic requirement is whether the source code is available - and made available. Are you certain that Google's solution here is ensuring that the source code is easily made available? So many o

I don't think the real focus is on the tags, but on the delay here via a form as well as human interaction. Worded differently, the simplest way to provide the source code is IMO via a URL that you can just wget. At the least this is d

by shevy-java 1mo ago
Can you really mix it? When I break or remove a shared lib, some binaries no longer work. With static libs or even better, e. g. statically compiled busybox, I don't have that issue, so I disagree on the claim that mixing solves everyt

They spy on people. Their spyglasses are the next step. I'd say Facebook is the most evil company, but we also have Google, so competition is fierce here. Kind of sad to see what became of the big US corporations - Evil prevailed there

People pay taxes, so that is their money really. Of course it does matter. The system is broken when money is stolen from the public like in this case (most likely if found out to be true). That's a problem that is much bigger than mer

You'd think the USA would be very transparent about it here. After all cops are paid by the public. So when a city can not explain cops becoming millionaires, this is a much bigger problem than merely that individual cop getting rich.

Companies always want to slop-spam their logos onto everything. It is a very annoying habit. On youtube videos this is even more annoying; several use floating logos.
