  Yeah there were similar battles in music copyright about whether a style of music as a whole can be copyrighted. Overall, the answer is “hell no” but with a couple outlier cases. This steps a lot on stuff like parody, which is protected by the first amendment as “fair use”. But it gets messy when things are “too similar” – a grey area exists

  VPNs don’t help here, the website asks you for your driver’s license. Tbf giving your credit card to them is typically enough for them (big tech + govt) to construct a full profile of who you are anyway, and that was the original “age gate” – though there are some services that make CCs modestly privacy preserving – not the case for IDs

  Good question. I don’t actually know. My previous statement is a lie, I’ve only seen them in movies

  I’ve been lucky enough to find some women that are a lot of fun to be around, and understand my interests at a deep level. I’d describe it as kind of like friendship, but with a woman

  Men become feral if left alone long enough. They identify with the mountains and the moss. They smoke their pipe tobacco while looking longingly along a river. They maintain weight for the winter. They become one with the universe. Then they become horny and the great cycle continues

  “Don’t worry about my security because I’ve talked with somebody. I said 'if I’m killed, you’ll kill BBM, Liza Araneta and Martin Romualdez. No joke, no joke,’” the vice president said without elaborating

  I’m sorry, she said it’s not a joke but, lmao

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nine in ten honey samples from UK retailers fail authenticity test⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The real fucked up part is how bees assemble dangerous chemicals from a wide zone around where they live. So if the farm is near pesticides, they will be collected too. Studies showed that almost all honey is contaminated this way

  So basically, unless you’re buying honey yourself from some very remote sources, it’s not the good stuff

  Now wait until you read about fake olive oils and their mafias…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨More than a quarter of new code at Google is generated by AI⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s very hard to believe, and may not be a very good metric for how much effort is actually saved. Like sure, I can have ai generate code, but I often have to spend a bunch of cycles to get it to generate it correctly, and then I feel like the chance of subtle bugs goes up

  But yes, how well you can use AI as a coder is increasingly a mandatory skill, and we may as well get used to gdp/productivity rising

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What kind of special knowledge or equipment does piracy groups have?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Basically, media cannot truly be DRM because: (1) it ~has to be converted into data that screens and speakers can display (2) ultimately if it’s fetching widevine encryption keys, those keys are somewhere in your device and can be retrieved

  So yes, you can do it. A “capture card” is such a “gyzmo” — but often, you can just rip using software, i.e. record the decoded stream

  Nah he was saying he was okay with free versions of his app undercutting him before, but calling his paid version a scam caused him to reconsider the policy - threatens revenue
