Microsoft’s AI boss thinks it’s perfectly OK to steal content if it’s on the open web
  • I think that with respect to content that’s already on microsoft.com, the social contract of that content since the ‘90s has been that it is fair use. Anyone can copy it, recreate with it, reproduce with it. That has been “freeware,” if you like, that’s been the understanding.

    Yeah, that's how I've always thought of it.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • I use gboard but don't let it phone home. It will "learn" new words for a few hours but then it forgets them, so I figure I'm pretty safe. It's suggestions are really basic and inane, I don't think it's getting any help from Google as far as prediction.

  • ‘Joe McCarthy Was Right’: Ex-Trump Official Praises McCarthyism At Faith & Freedom Coalition Conference
  • Holy shit. McCarthy was a junkie and a crippling drunk who's vices ultimately killed him.

    He wasn't "right", he never found a single Soviet agent. He was probably a self-loathing homosexual who rode the lavender scare to bolster his horrible, HORRIBLE polling numbers and it bit him in the ass eventually.

    THIS is who they are lionizing now?

  • Debian used to be so good. What happened!?
  • Huh? Install testing or sid?

    The Debian way is to install stable then change your sources.list to either testing or unstable.

    I call shenanigans.

    edit: what version was Stable using before 11Jun? 'cause it's 115.12.0esr-1 right now.

  • 'It's inhumane.' Despite how hot it is, Tennessee renters don't have a right to air conditioning
  • It's just fucked up that an appliance that's connected to the actual rental unit doesn't need to be operational by law. I mean, if the 'fridge dies in a TN rental unit is the landlord required to fix it or does that need to be specified in the lease also?

    It's just basic consumer protection, IMO. The AC comes with the apartment, the landlord should be required to maintain it.

  • piracy starter kit - old head getting back into it
  • Usenet is still a thing and us binary kids have completely RUINED it. the *arr stack plays well with Usenet. TrueNAS Scale is Debian based and has apps and containers. Plex, Jellyfin, *arr, qbittorrent, SAB newsreader. It wasn't trivial to learn to set up but mine is automagic now. VPN is cheap now and lets you get on the public trackers but private trackers are where it's at for stuff too old for Usenet

  • This is my reason for joining "Fuck Cars"
  • Do people really get into trucks with hard hats on?

    Every day.

    Why not use a regular pickup truck for the smaller amounts? They have them for rent at every Home Depot. I've never understood keeping a toy pickup around to haul some bags of mulch, minivan does the same thing.

  • The superduty, and it's not even close.

    2001 Tacoma: 1,600lb in the bed or 5,000lb towed 22/25 mpg EPA
    2018 F250: 3130lb in the bed or 17,600lb towed (not EPA tested, real world 16mpg, Lie-O-Meter usually shows 18mpg)

    I really don't understand the fetish for small pickup trucks. They aren't coming back, if only due to safety standards. Plus, you can't get in them while wearing a hard hat.

    quick edit: my old '95 F150 is a 6cyl. It carries about 800lb of tools and materials every day and gets a real 17mpg on the highway if I keep it at 65mpg. Since it's that old wheezy I6 motor it'll drop to about 14mpg if I push it to 75mph. 15mpg on my normal days staying in town and not driving long distances on those fast highways.
