Lmao imagine what you sound like after calling someone a ‘reactionary chud’

Trust me bro the finance terminal it wrote had no bugs and was fully featured. No I won’t release the source code, instead I’ll promise to release the source code of my next incredible AI project!

If it was so impressive, just show us. We know AI is great at building tech demos that look like they work, but does it actually work? Who knows!

It’s not worth trying to rationalize lost cause talking points. The entire idea is based on racism. The kkk were a group going around murdering people. The idea that somehow going after the “right” people would change your opinion of them is ridiculous and also racist.

Might be time to start doing your own research and stop trusting what people tell you. That’s pretty clearly a lie, I bet you’ve also been told a lot of other lost cause propaganda.

The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) emerged in the aftermath of the American Civil War, specifically in 1866 in Pulaski, Tennessee, as a reaction to the Reconstruction policies aimed at integrating formerly enslaved African Americans into society. Originally founded as a fraternal organization for white male Protestants, the Klan promoted white supremacy and resistance against federal efforts to ensure civil rights for African Americans. The group’s early activities included establishing rituals and violent tactics that became synonymous with the Klan’s identity, such as wearing white robes and engaging in nighttime terror against Black communities.

You can blame a lot of todays problems on the founding fathers, but this isn’t one of them IMO. They would have used the states names for their collective nouns.

If you’re actually advocating for change, I think Yankee is a way better term than USians. I can’t imagine people saying USians in a normal conversation, while Yankee rolls off the tounge.

I’ve only ever modified files I’ve found online, never designed anything myself in Cad and I find plenty of real uses for my 3d printer. It probably paid for itself just printing organization bins and other things for the house. Just last week I bought some cheap shelves from IKEA clearance without any hardware, printed out some feet and now I have a new monitor stand. I regularly print accessories that I would otherwise have to pay extra for (like tripod mounting plates)

Plus there are some pretty amazing projects out there that get a lot cheaper if you have access to a printer. Personally I’ve printed a pair of astronomy binoculars https://www.analogsky.co/ and a custom mechanical keyboard fitted to my hand. https://ryanis.cool/cosmos/beta

When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.

From where I’m standing Democrats unwillingness to use “technicalities and loopholes” like keeping the government closed sure feels like the Democrats are less effective at welding political power. I’m not saying they need to fight dirty, but when they don’t even try to use the political process to their advantage it sure feels like they aren’t really trying

+1 for Audiobookshelf, has a great android app too

You can’t imagine a situation like this?

“Hey we’re going to play some League tonight, you in?”

I play games to hang out with friends, if there are games they want to play I’ll probably want to be able to play those games with them.

What are you talking about? First, this video is in no way a “product shill”, he even compares it to other vr headsets. Second, Tested has been consistently putting out extremely in-depth VR hardware reviews so this is nothing new.

If someone go out in public spouting terrible opinions, I think they should be responsible for explaining why they were wrong and why they no longer believe what they used to. That is hard and requires actually growing as a person, instead of just deleting their past and pretending they never said what they did.

Not sure about their constitution, but Mississippi’s articles of secession are pretty fucking clear too.

Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth.

I’m not opposed to “the right to be forgotten” but imo that should apply to private speech, not something posted publicly. If you publish something on the open internet I feel like you’ve given up that right (like an author deciding to give copies of a book to friends vs an author selling a book in stores)

I agree, those are examples of things that should be able to be deleted from an archive. In my mind those are different issues than just the archive though, and we should probably have laws in place ensuring that content like that can be removed from anywhere on the Internet.

But it really seems like you’re arguing that “some content shouldn’t be archived forever”, not that “an archive must receive consent before recording public Internet data.”

An author can tell anyone that.

I really don’t understand how this would work. They can’t do the normal legal nonsense of claiming they are only selling me a license to the book, if they sell a physical copy of the book to me. After they sell me a physical book they cannot prevent me from lending or reselling it.

If authors/publishers could find some way to legally do this they would, I just don’t think they can.

I understand why a library can’t make copies of a book (as far as I understood it the internet archive was “limiting” access to how many copies of a book can be viewed at a time) the copyright protections are clear. But copyright does not cover resale or lending.

The article is about the internet archive’s book library, however I’m very open to discussing tweets.

Maybe this is because I was taught “once it’s on the Internet it’s out there forever” growing up, but I have no problem with everything posted to the internet being archived forever. Why should someone have the ability to scrub their past and pretend they are perfect? Sure I don’t agree with every opinion I’ve ever posted, but that doesn’t mean I should be able to pretend I never said those things.

I see no difference between a newspaper recording a public speech and the Internet Archive recording a public tweet.

Im very curious what you mean by " there’s an agreement and a system in place for that." Can an author tell a library that they are not allowed to lend specific books? I’ve never heard of anything like that

Does an author need to consent to have their book added to a physical library?

Once you publish and widely sell a work should an author really get to decide that their book cannot be borrowed or lent?
