Interestingly, the quote notes that using homeless as an adjective is fine, while using it as a noun is not. I did not know that!

Well…the headline only says the planet is 6.9 times as big as Earth. Jupiter is at least that large, last time I checked, so without more context I also don’t know what is special about it.

The actor?!

Against the terms of agreements they made? Yes.

To be fair, this is what I meant when I said wrong. Enough people have taken umbrage with my wording that I think I should update it, though. Thank you for your reply.

My understanding is that the IA had implemented a digital library, where they had (whether paid or not) some number of licenses for a selection of books. This implementation had DRM of some variety that meant you could only read the book while it was checked out. In theory, this means if the IA has 10 licenses of a book, only 10 people have a usable copy they borrowed from the IA at a time.

And then the IA disabled the DRM system, somehow, and started limitlessly lending the books they had copies of to anyone that asked.

I definitely don’t like the obnoxious copyright system in the USA, but what the IA did seems obviously wrong against the agreement they entered into. Like if your local library got a copy of Book X and then when someone wanted to borrow it they just copied it right there and let you keep the copy.

ETA: updated my wording. I don’t believe what the IA did was morally wrong, per se, but rather against the agreement I presume they entered into with the owners of the books they lent.

I feel like in that case one would be loudly fighting to get the law changed, rather than insisting it’s actually fine. Maybe that’s just semantics.

I do not understand what point you’re making. Can you elaborate?

Women are so cute and cute and cute and cute and cute and cute and cute and cute and cute and cute and…

I predict that in under 4 years, he’ll have run to Russia for sanctuary, where he’ll tweet for the rest of his days. He’ll make some kind of comparison between himself and Snowden. The media will start to report less and less on what he says, and people will pay less and less attention to him as he is no longer able to do rallies.

😰 Danke!

You’re welcome! I hope I didn’t come off as rude.

Actually, in a way, you did! You said “get a life”, which indicates you think I don’t have one. Me giving you information about me shows that I do have one. So now you’re more informed than you were before!

The commenter I replied to is from a French instance. If I were writing in a different language, I would want to know where I’ve made mistakes.

>just get a job closer to your home
>just move

Idk man, not sure either of those are the easy solutions you’re implying them to be.

Some corrections:

You may have misread the history. The man is having fun with his current commute and he is does not seems to be looking for some sort of a change in his routine.

Oh shit, that’s amazing! That could be a real learning opportunity for folks interested in starting game dev like me!

I find that Devon speaks a bit too fast for my taste, but he’s always given great breakdowns of stuff I wouldn’t otherwise understand. Love that guy.

Is there a higher resolution version?

I switched to Mint for my new PC a few months ago. There are a handful of games that don’t work on it, but they’re few and far between.

I’m in the same boat. There are a lot of parts of the Internet that should be free, but YouTube is not one of them. Video hosting is one of the most resource intensive services around, and if we as consumers aren’t paying for it they’ll find a worse way to fund it.
