Can I copy and paste images yet?

I've been able to do that with Trello for YEARS.

Without this feature, makes taking screenshot notes and troubleshooting on projects simply unusable.

They are going to ask if ai connects to wifi.

New reddit thing, has been going on for years. They changed something in the interpreter and afaik if someone posts a link with an underscore there will be a backslash before it in old reddit and on certain mobile apps. Opening the comment in new reddit and probably the native app should work. Or removing the backslash.

Fuck and both of my state's senators sponsor it. Time for someone new

Capitalism demands one of two things.

A service, or a good that needs to be replenished.

I always ask my classmates for a PDF copy of our textbooks on the first day of class, even if I already have the book, just so others can piggyback on my request.

ARrggg

Then you don't know about Daneland. Stochastic terroristic network started on Tiktok and they go in on suicidal people because they never face consequences

Worse? At least 25% are healthcare providers

Reporting to their licensing board often resulted in no consequences for them, then they'd do the same back to me and I'd be under investigation.

It's getting harder to do the right thing because the courts are a puppet for corporations. If they know they can use cyberstalking and harassment as a tactic, they will.

It's almost like running the only people who knew how to farm out of the country immediately was a bad choice, instead of forcing them to teach others. Zimbabwe had no need to go into billions of dollars of debt. It happened because they allowed a purely self interested dictator to take the reigns.

Law makers aren’t ready for shit. Just a bunch of old, out of touch rich twats sucking corporate dongs.

Yah, we're aware

I'll tell you where to find god if you stop messing around and bumping sales of dupes above the knowledge to generate new sales by dupes.

Does it matter in your mind whether these fines and consent decrees actually deter bad actors from focusing on protection of consumer data over profit?

If breaking the law earns a company $200 million p/year, not breaking the law nets it only $100 million p/year, and the penalty for getting caught breaking the law is $10 million p/year, then it's just a tax by another name. It's the feds taking a taste via a garden-variety mobster protection scheme. "You break the law, you make a lot of money, you break us off our piece and we'll sanction the behavior on an ongoing basis.

At the higher end, with the larger corporations, it's impact on behavior is likely somewhere between negligible-to-non-existent. The money is not enough to do more than subsidize on-going collection efforts.

The lesson here to private industry is to scale your criminality in order reduce the impact of real civil world consequences. Though is it even "criminality" to protect consumer data as cheaply as possible while still being able to maintain the pretense of respectability? Especially when the payment of the fine seemingly washes away past transgressions, and no criminal charges are ever filed?

It doesn't feel satisfying, as a person whose data has been ripped more than once. Make the penalty big enough to bk the company. Put some teeth in it.

Actually it is slower and stupider -- on purpose.

Who is "bIG tECH" and how do I personally let them know how I feel about this clickbait title?

Are lawmakers ever ahead of the curve when it comes to any technological development?

I still remember when the internet was referred to as a "series of tubes" in the same speech where an e-mail was referred to as "an internet".

No, not really correct. It was more like IA's arguement was based on multiple former cases being true rather than any one case being an exact match for what they did. For example they argued they can make digital copies of books and cited the Supreme Court case about video taping TV shows. The supreme court ruled copying TV shows was legal where as in this case the judge ruled copying books into a digital format was illegal.

The important thing to note here is this isn't even getting into the issue of the IA sharing books it digitized. That part was just about the act of copying them into a digital format in the first place.

It was honestly a surprising ruling because of how completely he ruled against the IA. The end result could have ultimately been the same even if he agreed with the IA on some points but he didn't which was a real surprise.

“We buy bulk news, digest it slightly for you, and feed that to you. Don’t you dare package a layer of half digestion added to our feed, we regurgitated those facts fair and square.”

FWIW I have read through the case extensively. I'm no legal expert, but it seems to me that IA's case was largely based on arguments about how copyright should work rather than how it does work.

not really sure what you're trying to say. almost as if being at the mercy of brutal imperialism from the west has left many african nations ripe for corruption of western propped up institutions and predatory monetary policy.

...like. zimbabwe's total national debt is 10 billion dollars. which denies them access to investment incentives at favorable rates. Do you know how laughably tiny 10 billion dollars is next to the wealth raped from that country by western nations. but... because they were subject to routine oppressive rule. they're maid to toil and figure their way forward underneath shitty western monetary policy.

where as... china doesn't give a shit about idiotic western policy and is happy to enter partnership with them ...mainly to secure mineral/energy resources

I am not Canadian or American, but what this seems to confuse and conflate, with a bait title, is 'taxes' with the right of nation States, including democratically elected ones, to regulate tech as they see fit.

I don't know if the daily beast can be considered journalism.
