Like the implication that having an active sex life and bullying someone to death are basically the same category of thing or strongly related somehow

I might be remembering wrong but didn't this webcomic invent or popularize the word "fap"?

exactly

So then we would tell the alien we use base 21?

If you still aren't able to run the game after it installs, one thing that's worked for me to run games from Epic on linux is to use a script to run it with Proton:

export STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata

export STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH=/home/username/.local/share/Steam/

~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton\ -\ Experimental/proton run GameFile.exe

Find where the files are installed to and put the script there, replace paths and the executable name as needed.

Many are worried that the archives liberated by Anna’s will be used to train generative models

I hope so, unlike text and image gen, there are not really good publicly available music models, only proprietary services now owned by large music industry rightsholders due to lawsuits afaik. Like the article mentions, unethical corporations such as Spotify itself are already on it regardless.

No, capitulating to people who are blindly anti-AI and crusading about it is dumb. Looking at the comments on that post, it seems pretty controversial whether it's actually bad.

The two arguments that seem to make sense to me are, the appeal of the image leans on the idea that it might be real, and some people want an easy way to entirely filter AI content from their feed. I feel like there should be less heavy handed ways to address those issues than a blanket ban.

Looking at their front page, it seems like it has an anti-Trump bias overall, was it the opposite before the election? The OP article seems to pretty clearly be calling ICE out for hypocrisy for having their own film crew for propaganda purposes while calling others documenting their actions terrorists.

If someone is complaining about the reasonableness of the price of an Apple product, while using one (and presumably leaving on the features that advertise in messages that an iPhone was used), I think it's fair to assume they are paying or going to pay those prices, especially because of all the stuff Apple does to maintain a closed ecosystem of products.

There's also the implied expectation that an ethical company would be voluntarily using the money they get to make sure they are giving back to employees and the broader society, but that's unrealistic because companies never work like that.

Sounds a lot like "how you feel doesn't matter, your right to exist depends on being useful to me."

Which calls for acquiring leverage and using it to set boundaries, more than it calls for a rational rebuttal. Just gotta systematically remove the power such people have over you, and then they won't be able to talk to you that way anymore.

If they can turn off your ability to play the games you don't own them

“Films, games, experiences, content – it’s the ability to craft one immersive world that is cohesively connected through all these interaction points.”

Maher said this approach changes the way audiences engage with the content they consume. He said this type of immersive world-building gives consumers an opportunity to become active participants in the stories being told through their favorite platforms.

How vague and ominous; no idea what this person is actually talking about but the way they say it makes it sound like a sure thing it's some terrible crime against culture
