- Comment on An ice dance duo skated to AI music at the Olympics | TechCrunch 20 hours ago:
And then the orchestra that recorded it would possibly sue them for copyright infringement. Just because the sheet music is out of copyright doesn’t mean the recording is.
Maybe they could dig through some old 78s or hire a piano player to work around that.

Considering another skater is getting called out for copyright problems when she did her due diligence to clear rights — you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

- Comment on 'Scowling Void of Pure Nothingness': Critics Destroy $75 Million Melania Trump Documentary | Common Dreams 1 week ago:
It’s like those religious movies where people buy up tickets en masse but no one actually goes to the movie. Or those political books where the party buys up boxes and boxes of them to get the book on the best seller list, but no one actually reads it.
- Comment on 'Scowling Void of Pure Nothingness': Critics Destroy $75 Million Melania Trump Documentary | Common Dreams 1 week ago:

Remember when MySpace was owned by Rupert Murdoch? Wikipedia remembers…
- Comment on Amazon to Shut Down All Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh Stores 2 weeks ago:
Corporations shouldn’t be allowed to donate to politicians. They can’t vote. If the ceo wants to support a candidate, make them take the money out of their own pocket.

Find. Another. Service.
TikTok is dead — just like Twitter. I don’t understand people who cling to these services. Might as well post on MySpace while you’re at it.

There’s probably something similar on Android devices as well.
- Comment on Facial recognition to be rolled out nationwide in major police reforms 2 weeks ago:
Don’t do it. Do you see what’s going on in the US right now? All it takes is one bad regime coming to power to abuse the hell out of these kinds of tools.
- Comment on Amazon to Shut Down All Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh Stores 2 weeks ago:
A lot of quality merch is no longer carried. Their deli and premade fridges are poorer quality now. I used to stop by there to pick up a healthy lunch from time to time. Not anymore.

- Comment on News could use a reboot. 2 weeks ago:
Its too bad theres no kind of “truth in labeling” enforcement over the term NEWS. Most of the stuff labeled as news these days is actually opinion, or paid advertisements.
