Indeed it covers more than one area of law.
The two that were in my mind were (1) Copyright infringement and (2) patent infringement.
However I was using "theft" colloquially since I'm way too lazy to write like a lawyer.

It's an advert for an advert. Adverts all the way down. Advertception.

When the AI steals the ideas of others and presents it as a new idea to the AI user, it's still theft and the inventor is the original inventor and the ideas were on the open internet to be scraped by the AI and so is prior art.

It's really easy to backup/put in version control/rsync/stow/chezomoi etc ~/.config and then you get the benefits for all the XDG-compliant software you use, instead of just one non-compliant piece.

And you can still do what you did before by inserting "~/.config" into your previous commands.

I'm a Mac user and I've switched to XDG paths where possible, coupled with chezmoi and Ansible to get the same setup on my primary Mac and secondary Linux VMs/SBCs. Way easier than searching around the disk for each piece of software's configuration. This is less spread out all over the place than before.

Educational standards have been declining for a long time. It hasn't just recently gotten bad because of Corona. Both math and English instruction have declined to the point that people like you are making excuses for remedial instruction in college.

The sabotage is intentional even if those doing it don't think they are engaging in sabotage. This is painfully obvious if you interact with the K12 education system.

Parents these days have to more to repair the damage done by professionals.

Misogyny - nope, that's cool.
Racism - marvellous, bring it on.
Tax cuts to wealthy, tax rises to poor, middle-class - groovy baby
Installing anti-health boss of health - makes sense to me.
Dismantling White House, rebuilding in his own image - why not, I kind of like gold.
Removing all agreements with other countries - isolationism FTW (unless we want something)
Tariffs for everyone, paid for by Americans - they'll never work it out until it's too late.

So, what's left that might possibly irritate a Republican with a brain? I know, let's start overreaching on states' rights. These boiling frogs won't stand in the way of Julius Trump. Next week we can get rid of some of those pesky amendments.

The challenge is that you have to be sure you're booking with the actual hotel. The middle men are sneaky and make the web site look like they are the real thing. The actual hotel web site is never the first on the search list. Blame the shitty SEO merchants. SEO should be renamed "FIO" Fraudulent Impersonation Optimization.

I like big apps, I cannot lie.

The kinds of foods that trash your LDL predate the FDA and the United States.

Think that Gen-whatever is a really stupid way to refer to people.

Also, get off my lawn.

Sometimes experimentation is the only thing standing between you and certain death. None of us would be surviving cancer if not for patients being experimented on.

Beyond terminal illnesses, the regulatory burdens should be very high and not lowered because something shiny and new comes along.

Not all computation is algorithmic. Some things are heuristic. And how, exactly, do you use the incompleteness theorem to prove you have a complete answer to what lies outside your domain of study?

>Either way that tells me I'm not hallucinating that the two both used the same voltage.

Yes. 19V. Like every other barrel connector powered laptop.

I swear, the QC people will go one by one through the error correction codes until they have caught up with the current state of the art in error correction. They've done LDPC so they'll be onto quantum polar codes next - mark my words.
