There's never been a better time to learn to pirate.

Except, as you say, for the period where they did that exactly which triggered the lawsuit and why the Internet Archive lost to summary judgment.

You can't just except away the biggest reason for the lawsuit...

Some 13% of cur­rent job post­ings are for re­mote po­si­tions, ac­cord­ing to staffing firm Man­pow­er­Group. That is down from 17% in March 2022 but well above the prepan-demic level of 4%.

Finally found some data. Great WSJ article: https://www.wsj.com/articles/work-from-home-era-ends-for-millions-of-americans-8bb75367

It's funny how it's the 20th anniversary of the war in Iraq and many people in hindsight say they wouldn't support the war after the fact meanwhile the war drums seem to hunger again.

Makes me think of this quote.

>“During the cold war, the anticommunist ideological framework could transform any data about existing communist societies into hostile evidence.
>
>If the Soviets refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative.
>
>If the churches in the USSR were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed; but if the churches were full, this meant the people were rejecting the regime's atheistic ideology.
>
>If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist system; if they didn't go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom.
>
>A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the failure of the economic system; an improvement in consumer supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them.
>
>If communists in the United States played an important role struggling for the rights of workers, the poor, African-Americans, women, and others, this was only their guileful way of gathering support among disfranchised groups and gaining power for themselves.
>
>How one gained power by fighting for the rights of powerless groups was never explained.
>
>What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire political spectrum.”

lawl?

YouTube won’t go anywhere.

Blogger, though? I’d starting thinking of a plan b.

I know Usenet fell into disrepair, but Groups was supposed to save it.

Hah. Me too!

you finally get to know what you're dreaming of.

Y'see, this right here is why we should not wear tinfoil hats.

Tin doesn't block gamma rays. We should wear lead foil hats.

If only everyone carried a device that can do the same and be interactive as well where Panera could also advertise and facilitate ordering food? That would be great. But I guess biometrics will have to do.

I know they're only doing it to get the big stars in the big movies but I'll still wait for streaming. It costs me the equivalent of 6 months of streaming to watch a single movie in the cinema with my wife these days.

I bet they're floating this to get people to stop complaining about having to install yet another app. The situation can always get worse...

Why are we still listening to this old man as if he were some kind of god?

Op is a pro China shill. Look through his account. There are many of these shills on reddit... not just shills for CCP but other interests as well. This is not a democracy, the upvotes are commodity.

Assuming the data is equal, which it probably isn't, 40% (4 in 10) would put it slightly higher then India at 38 reported, and way higher than say, US 25%.

Okay then, they can't use it on their government devices. That's already within the power of those agencies to set rules for. They don't need a new law to do that.

iGoogle would be perfect as my Chrome homepage but no, better work on something useless while fuckin up basic functionality across Google products.

All that fear mongering.

Baaah! He needs to get with it.

For example, Cyberdyne Systems have been doing truly great things, now that Myles B. Dyson is running the show...

This might be interesting for Apple TV+ subscribers:

"Apple plans to release its biggest movies in theaters at least a month before they appear on its streaming service, Apple TV+. That includes a new movie from Martin Scorsese, a drama about Napoloeon from Ridley Scott and a couple titles starring Brad Pitt."

Answered the OP but commenting to you directly as well:

My parents are gaslighting me but my fucking aunt was there when they did it and she remembers it!

Jokes on you, Nassau County, you got my prints again when i was arrested

but that sounds like a beyond-snowden personal data issue? wtf?

As someone whose livelihood depends on Youtube and Blogger, I am getting more and more nervous...

checking with my aunt, it was sold as “missing child” safety stuff, but still wild

(LI NY about 2005ish?)

Attacks don't have to be physical.

An AI could destroy your reputation by publishing deepfakes online, or propaganda/slander against you, it would attack your credit rating via online transactions, it could wreck your life by taking over your work email and sending abusive emails to the boss...

Lots of ways that a malicious system could attack a person, or groups. Doesn't need to be particularly "intelligent" either.

and thats without looking at it taking control of your smart car and driving it off a cliff, etc
