If they were worried about it, they'd stop doing it.

More and more people are going to be doing this and excusing it in an effort to normalize nazi and facist symbolism.

It's not really up to us (non-US) citizens to point this out or act on it, since we have little influence, it's up to the citizens of the USA to do something about it.

Well I've seen a number of waves in my time, and none of them had an arm stretched at that angle, palm down, wrist straight. Most people wave with their elbow or wrist, with the palm facing the people they're waving at.

It's wild to me how hodgepodge the software was. It's the software equivalent of the Ford pinto, great and then boom! But for a long time it's all there was.

There were competitors, but nothing offered everything like the blackberry platform in the early 2000s, the (user facing) software and keyboard combo were nuts, and when the trackball was released (Curve? Pearl? Idk) it was like having a little computer in your pocket.

"Oh f*k oh f**k oh nononono - Tower are you seeing this airplane crash?- oh god oh no"

Pilots really have no nonsense for proper radio communication. Airforceproud95 lied to me.

You need to be the right amount of high to properly understand fusion. Too far either way, and it doesn't make sense.

Now you need to watch the 1996 classic "The Arrival"!

There's a lot of issues with Rust taking more and more of the kernel. I'd like to see the whole kernel transitioned to Rust, but the project can't stand still for that amount of time. Unless someone is willing to take that on, I think it's better that Rust "stay in it's lane", as gross as that sounds.

We're insured, right?

They don't even do that. They just take the edge off enough that I don't actually try to throw myself off a bridge.

I mean, sure, but the issue is that the rules aren't being applied on the same level. The data in question isn't free for you, it's not free for me, but it's free for OpenAI. They don't face any legal consequences, whereas humans in the USA are prosecuted including an average fine per human of $266,000 and an average prison sentence of 25 months.

OpenAI has pirated, violated copyright, and distributed more copyright than an i divided human is reasonably capable of, and faces no consequences.

My use of the term "human" is awkward, but US law considers corporations people, so i tried to differentiate.

I'm in favour of free and open data, but I'm also of the opinion that the rules should apply to everyone.

I all keep going back to my Pebble Time. The battery life and focus on productivity are second to none.
