accused of repeat copyright infringements
Does this court determine whether this concrete accusation against a person holds as well, or does this court determine whether an accusation is enough?

Is that the conclusion? I thought that’s still under investigation. I remember reading about it months after the first reports.
- Comment on Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification" 4 days ago:
It’s sad how huge companies are basically their CEO. CEO makes decisions and talks - that’s the company. Even if the hundreds and thousands of workers below them [largely] disagree and would do differently.

Linking with a timestamp to the end of the video (no more honking) is quite the comedic turnaround
- Comment on OpenAI says dead teen violated TOS when he used ChatGPT to plan suicide - Ars Technica 5 days ago:
Exactly, one of the ways. And it’s a bandaid that doesn’t work very well. Because it’s probabalistic word association without direct association to intention, variance, or concrete prompts.

They link to it in the article, but for visibility, the resignation of Japanese SUMO community lead, contributor of 20 years. They voice their concrete issues.

Entirely Google’s fault. Their prevalence and search ranking decisions.

It’s for the last sentence, “and no one would ever misunderstand a joke online again”.
- Comment on Gmail users warned to opt out of new feature - what we know 1 week ago:
I mean… Just don’t use Google services!?
What kind of guide or in depth are you looking for? It’s a broad field. Google covers a lot.
- Comment on Gmail users warned to opt out of new feature - what we know 1 week ago:
Google extended their Smart features with AI. It can be disabled in the settings, personally if you haven’t already.
I visited Gmail earlier today, and it gave me onboarding with information and the choice of enabling or not. I’m in the EU, dunno if that makes a difference.
- Comment on Gmail can read your emails and attachments to train its AI, unless you opt out 1 week ago:
I opened GMail and it specifically asked me to give consent in a descriptive/onboarding popover. I’m in EU, it may be different elsewhere (title and article about US?).

webm is a container, not a codec
Even if you hit that blocker, you can still software-decode with [alternative] software.
- Comment on Microsoft says Copilot will 'finish your code before you finish your coffee' adding fuel to the Windows 11 AI controversy that's still raging 1 week ago:
Good thing finishing your coffee is many sips. Because Copilot certainly doesn’t feel fast. It often feels so slow you wonder whether waiting is worth it.
- Comment on Microsoft says Copilot will 'finish your code before you finish your coffee' adding fuel to the Windows 11 AI controversy that's still raging 1 week ago:
They did say why they’re doing it
Whenever possible have somebody else write the unit tests, so they don’t have the same assumptions and blind spots.
Did that not make sense to you?
- Comment on Microsoft says Copilot will 'finish your code before you finish your coffee' adding fuel to the Windows 11 AI controversy that's still raging 1 week ago:
So I asked the dev, he said he didn’t fully understand what the LLM did, he wasn’t familiar with reflection.
Big baffling facepalm moment.
If they would at least prefix the changeset description with that it’d be easier to interpret and assess.

I read “users respond with mercyless trolling” in the teaser, I have to open the article.

The task hat that you can align to the left? You can configure that aspect.

Are you upgrading your machinery like this CEO does though?
- Comment on Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be. 2 weeks ago:
The announcement first talked about “streaming to your TV”. Receiving streaming and handling a controller don’t need much power.
No need to get this “expressive”.
- Comment on Adguard DNS: Our investigation into the suspicious pressure on Archive.today 2 weeks ago:
They link to the org, which now hosts a response press release.
I read through it, and it makes wrong claims, misrepresentations, and wrong conclusions.
It claims AdGuard is lying and shifting its stance and communication while misrepresenting what AdGuard said and published.
They seem to confuse the availability of non-disclosed URLs with removal of known URLs. They seem to confuse successful reports by AdGuard with other content still being available. They fail to disclose, or conveniently evade disclosing, what and how they reported, only saying their report (of unlawful content) can be requested by law enforcement or adguard. They can’t fathom AdGuard blocking the content while it is available, and then changing stance and unblocking after the reporting and consequential removal was successful.
The AdGuard post is certainly much more convincing than their “rebuttal” with logical errors and misrepresentations.
- Comment on Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be. 2 weeks ago:
Yes, I’m ready. I’m interested in buying all three new products. Whether I do depends on price. I’m fine with not buying them if I deem them not worth the cost for me.
I kinda doubt Valve would produce and sell a Machine with a 1k USD target price. When watching the announcement video, I was wondering how affordable it would be, whether it would be something like 300 € (not having seen any specs), although the “runs even the big titles” puts that into question to a degree.
There’s no real use in speculating. It’s better to just wait. I didn’t look for or into third party information either. I’m waiting for official information, waiting for the next announcements and/with product page launches.

The comment I replied to expands from a cat death to a person being dragged. It expands to general accountability.
- Comment on The Authoritarian Stack 3 weeks ago:
that have gone on for 100s of years in governments… isn’t big and scary
When I look back there’s several governments I find scary.
Pointing these things out and running alarm bells is important. That is a systematic recurring problem doesn’t change anything about the problems at hand.
Are you saying “there have been things like this before so we should see it as normal and not do anything about it or point it out”?
