I have trouble with using tone in my words but not interpreting tone from others' words. Weird, isn't it?

McNamara seemed to suggest that publishers would have been further enriched if not for IA providing unprecedented free, unlimited e-books access.

Unfortunately, that's like saying everyone has the right to read any book that IA usually archives for free at any time. Do I agree with that? Yes. Does it hurt intellectual property? Yes. There's obviously evidence that readers used the service a lot. I agree with the principle, but they should've just temporarily "merged" with public libraries and increased borrowing limits for books in stock, not allow everyone in the United States to just get a book as long as they have less than 9 other books as well.

Aatube OP ,
  1. This is for the "premium" subscription to a FOSS newsletter that also operates forums & benchmarking software.
  2. So people actually choose the 100 years option while so much less choose 1 year? Why would they make the most popular options have the most mouse travel time?

I think we should fail --purge if no config file is specified on the command line. I see no world where an invocation without one would make sense, and it would have caught the problem here.
—poettering

And that was what they did in the patch.

Aatube ,

Did you update to 256.1? On Poettering's recommendation, they made it require a config.

Big Foot spreading propaganda again

They removed installing another package that did this by default in the same version where they introduced the App Center. Ubuntu Software never handled installing third-party debs, gdebi did. And in the version where they introduced the App Center, they stopped bundling gdebi by default.

Also, the old behavior was that you double click on a deb file and App Center just hangs. This was shipped in the LTS.

Is someone safe if they report income from illegal means to the IRS?

I have seen multiple times on Lemmy that the IRS wants people to report income from illegal means and that they don’t care to bust someone for it. For example, an illicit drug dealer is expected by the IRS to report their drug sale revenue without having to worry about being caught for drug dealing....

I'm pretty sure they added the field specifically to catch Al Capone for tax evasion

drifting away from focus

Aatube ,

According to Wikipedia, they made a ton of games, including a ton of licensed IPs.

Aatube OP ,

They tried to drag them into the horrors of the copyright world

Aatube OP ,

Added relevant quote

Aatube ,

It took centuries to come up with the smallpox vaccine. None of the control methods have available genetically-engineered trees. They can only substantially decrease rate of infection, but that's nowhere close to 90%.

>:(

I saw the original LAMF post. A detail missing here was that the inspectors were joking (that it could be dangerous) at first when they saw the cut because even they didn’t know how dangerous it was.

Aatube ,

Just use an archive service lol

Aatube ,

Archive.today is way more energy-efficient and actually gives you the article details

what the heck's the second picture

That seems like a Wikipedia capture for the wrong page instead of AI.

Linus Tech Tips (LTT) release investigation results on former accusations (x.com)

There were a series of accusations about our company last August from a former employee. Immediately following these accusations, LMG hired Roper Greyell - a large Vancouver-based law firm specializing in labor and employment law, to conduct a third-party investigation. Their website describes them as “one of the largest...

Aatube ,

Withholding payment based on results with a negative outlook is illegal.

Aatube ,

Yeah, but there's still the possibility of them releasing it. Anyway, my point is that there's no monetary incentive for them to skew the results.

(Half of bankruptcy is restructuring/planning while the other half is liquidation. Either way, the goal is to have a clean-ish start in debt terms.)

New Details on Valve's New Game 'Deadlock' - Insider Gaming (insider-gaming.com)

As already leaked, the game is a 6v6 third-person hero-based shooter. Heroes include magicians, robots, creatures, humans, and more. There are currently 19 different heroes, each with different abilities and playstyles that you’d come to expect from a MOBA including ranged, healers, tanks, assassins, etc....

Remember when HL2 leaked?

GPT-4o’s Chinese token-training data is polluted by spam and porn websites (www.technologyreview.com)

Of the 100 results, only three of them are common enough to be used in everyday conversations; everything else consisted of words and expressions used specifically in the contexts of either gambling or pornography. The longest token, lasting 10.5 Chinese characters, literally means “_free Japanese porn video to watch.” Oops....

Why not just use a fingerprint?

Aatube ,

It basically converts videos between formats, standards of compression, encoders, subtitles, dimensions.... It's pretty useful for trimming the size of a video to fit a particular medium.

OpenAI says Sky voice in ChatGPT will be paused after concerns it sounds too much like Scarlett Johansson (www.tomsguide.com)

The company says the voices in ChatGPT were from paid voice actors. A final five were selected from an initial pool of 400 and it's purely a coincidence the unnamed actress behind the Sky voice has a similar tone to Johansson....

Aatube ,

I don't get why that causes downvotes

Aatube OP ,

yeah, just listen to the electric guitar in spongebob

Aatube OP ,

Interesting. I'm talking more about stuff like the (TV series's) ending theme and the "steel sting" though. Loop de loop doesn't particularly sound like it, though Ocean Man kinda does.

Aatube OP ,

"Oh, Susana" has 5-tone verses. Or, did you mean temperament (which I assume means the "distance" between the tones) when you said "move away".

Aatube OP ,

The question I'm asking is why these sounds evoke waves. I don't see the resemblance.

Aatube OP , (edited )

I remember that time some guy pinged nearly 40k people and single-handedly delayed GitHub's email servers by about 4.18 hours
