They call them ReTruths?
I literally can’t even.

Or maybe an abbreviated hash of the text of their specifications?
Why are you booing them? They’re right!
It’s not even piracy though. I never saw anyone torrent Windows_XP_Home_Cracked.iso and go “Hey guys, check out this operating system I made!”
It’s not that hard.
Fuck the RIAA: The artists should hold the rights to their music, not the publishers.
Fuck AI: The rights-holders (which ought to be the artists) should be able to distribute their work without fear that a bot will be allowed to use it to compete against them.
I just don’t see a healthy creative culture where you don’t push both buttons.
Pirating Windows for your own personal, private use, which will never directly make you a single dollar: HIGHLY ILLEGAL
Scraping your creative works so they can make billions by selling automated processes that compete against your work: Perfectly fine and normal!

Silly goose, you don’t own Windows — you license it.
If Miyamoto is succeeded by someone with Gabe’s pro-consumer philosophy, Nintendo could dominate.
Sony and Microsoft are too busy doing the private equity playbook.
Are we looking from the perspective of the user or the wall?
It is kinda brilliant though, the way they set it up.
If you don’t like the joke, you can always fall back to the meta level: this is a 40-something dad recalling how dumb and cringe-worthy he and his friends were in their 20s.
So any day now, we can expect a custom porn video where the stars make fun of a meme collector’s folders and then delete them.
“Nobody uses hard drives anymore. Have the intern replace all mentions of hard drives with solid state drives.”
Inelastic demand. One of many reasons that the stuff you learn in Econ 101 is pure fantasy.
Dude gave up his entire life to send a warning to as many people as possible. You think he’s gonna not post further warnings on Twitter?
It doesn’t seem like the ruling says copyright concerns justify overriding a right to anonymity under GDPR, but that the right to anonymity doesn’t exist in the first place.
I think that’s probably a better place to be, because it means they can legislate a right to anonymity.
I tried to be accurate instead of specific.
If I didn’t have to work anymore, I’d have more time to explore potential things to work on, so whatever project I’d pick right now would probably not be my main focus after 3 months of settling into my new life.
From where I am right now, I think it would be something to do with language-level features for distributed computing (but not that web3 nonsense). There’s a lot of potential to weaken the monopoly power of cloud providers by working on something like that, which is why it’s an under-explored area.
But I’d need more people to work with, and some specific use cases to go after. So I would expect the effort to change a lot by the time I actually found the right group of people to work with.
Work on projects that I think are important instead of just profitable.
