Interestingly, the quote notes that using homeless as an adjective is fine, while using it as a noun is not. I did not know that!

Well…the headline only says the planet is 6.9 times as big as Earth. Jupiter is at least that large, last time I checked, so without more context I also don’t know what is special about it.

Against the terms of agreements they made? Yes.

To be fair, this is what I meant when I said wrong. Enough people have taken umbrage with my wording that I think I should update it, though. Thank you for your reply.

My understanding is that the IA had implemented a digital library, where they had (whether paid or not) some number of licenses for a selection of books. This implementation had DRM of some variety that meant you could only read the book while it was checked out. In theory, this means if the IA has 10 licenses of a book, only 10 people have a usable copy they borrowed from the IA at a time.

And then the IA disabled the DRM system, somehow, and started limitlessly lending the books they had copies of to anyone that asked.

I definitely don’t like the obnoxious copyright system in the USA, but what the IA did seems obviously wrong. Like if your local library got a copy of Book X and then when someone wanted to borrow it they just copied it right there and let you keep the copy.

I feel like in that case one would be loudly fighting to get the law changed, rather than insisting it’s actually fine. Maybe that’s just semantics.

I do not understand what point you’re making. Can you elaborate?

I speak English, I studied Latin but have not kept up, and I know a tiny bit of Japanese and French.

I have had a comment of mine removed from .ml for (correctly) indicating that hexbear is not a trustworthy instance.

I switched to Mint for my new PC a few months ago. There are a handful of games that don’t work on it, but they’re few and far between.

I’m in the same boat. There are a lot of parts of the Internet that should be free, but YouTube is not one of them. Video hosting is one of the most resource intensive services around, and if we as consumers aren’t paying for it they’ll find a worse way to fund it.

What’s trust cafe?

The “you’re fired” guy, who had a cameo in Home Alone 2, was shot at yesterday. What a weird world we live in.

I can’t find it now, but my company attempted to get that from Slack and IIRC it was an option but more expensive than they were willing to pay.

That is akin to amputating your leg because you’re tired of stubbing your toes.

This is not remotely helpful.

And it’s so ridiculously good. The NYT even wrote an article about it.

The girl in the passenger seat clearly has a look of “we knew this was going to happen”, too.

That’s what I’m saying. It has anticheat, and it runs on Linux without issue.

I wouldn’t say “any” major games. Helldivers 2 is a notable exception.
