In what way did brexit do that? It only resulted in the British being fucked over by a smaller set of assholes.

Businesses used to capture that value because they often owned the property that hosted them. Now they rarely do. The rent seekers are sucking out the value.

It's time to recognize that rent is theft.

It certainly wouldn't be intelligent for them to admit to anything, due to how our courts work.

FreeBSD is descended from real UNIX but is not today considered real UNIX because it hasn't had a certification in a while, because those cost money.

Being a real UNIX is no longer actually relevant because Linux is now the big daddy in Unixland. It's a talking point without a point.

Why, are you in Britain? If so, I agree, as it's failed to prevent me from seeing your comments.

My understanding was that they were trying to prove it was an original or derivative work because of its ability to reproduce the story. We already knew they were training on their articles.

They had to use a huge piece of the article as the prompt, and their own examples show that it still generated text that wasn't in the articles.

The obvious answer is campaign contributions.

Another answer is that the nature of their activity is novel. As such it's arguable that the creation of the training corpus is fair use. The models themselves don't include the works in question and they don't reproduce them verbatim. You can train a model at home which will do it, but only by absurd overtraining, and by including basically nothing else. None of them are redistributing models like that. A derivative work has to include sufficiently recognizable duplicated elements, where "sufficiently" is subjective.

The truth is probably closer to the former thing, but the latter thing is also real.

I agree with your solution, though. There's no reasonable justification for copyright infringement to be a criminal offense.

It wasn't just Copilot. It was also Outlook. Also, some orgs' Teams went down.

For me it was just Outlook, Teams stayed up. But since Outlook was down, I mostly couldn't 2FA to things I need to work.

After a few attempts, I actually did complete the 2FA challenge once. But of hundreds of attempts in my org, only a few succeeded. Then we got the emails the next day.

It's nice that Microsoft didn't lose mail, but delivering it timely is also part of what people are expecting, for obvious reasons.

There's a lot of masochistic idiots here who love to forget everything Microsoft has done as soon as they have done it. To them Halloween is just a time to see some tits. But TBF, there have always been Microsoft fanboys here, so at least this is not new. There have always been tons of Slashdotters happy to punch themselves in the balls.

No, now you use pipewire, pipewire-pulse, and wireplumber. Just launch them in that order and it all works fine.

I stopped using SDDM on Devuan because it was causing me login problems. I switched to slim, and am not having any of those problems any more. Fuck SDDM and fuck anyone who makes their software depend on systemd on purpose even harder.

Now, anyone know how to make slim launch a specific DE when you don't select one? Because it's shit too, it doesn't even remember which DE I selected last time.

Heat pumps don't circulate refrigerant with fans. Get this fucking bullshit the fuck out of here.

Would we need the GPL if copyright law didn't exist?

You need to look outside of your asshole.
