Sorry, I need that in dishwashers or ping pong balls
Every time I stumble across an uptime post I laugh, and then proceed to do my daily ritual of having to fully pull out my power cable and reinsert it to get the laptop to wake up.
For just movies and music and other things easily replaced like that I trust refurbished from reputable sources. I would strongly encourage RAID and off site backup for important stuff.
Yeah, my wildest dreams are a bit more Expedition 33 or Chants of Sennaar.
I hate to be the one to let you know if you didn't but kbin is dead. It hasn't had any new code in 2 years and the main instances aren't running. There's probably issues all over with it and will only get worse
Codeberg was running Anubis. Apparently several bots have started just solving Anubis and scraping away again.
I'm not gonna bother figuring it out, but real curious how many views FromPirateSoftware is losing, if he was hitting to try and stay afloat after all his drama
I learned a while back that arguing with someone is less about convincing that specific person, and more about convincing the bystanders who read/hear the argument.
It's actually made it less frustrating for me to engage with people online. The person I'm taking to I know will never change their mind, but someone else might that I don't know about.
A lot of the forums I'm seeing talked about where more technical or objective kinds. Like in a car forum there'd be repair manuals or parts lists, fountain pen forums would have loads of images comparing inks side by side for different shades and hues. Those are the sorts of knowledge centers being discussed and reminisced about a lot here.
That's currently being argued in the courts. There's a lot that goes into it from right to distribution, to proving that although the AI bot can't reproduce everything even though it normally doesn't.

There's also arguments about how they accessed large amounts of content. The law doesn't just recognize whether you can access something or not, but what you access it for. There's laws about accessing things with the sole purpose of using it to develop a commercial product. All of it is a tangled mess that there's no current clear answer to (legally, morally I think there is but that's very opinionated)
