Basically a deer with a human face. Despite probably being some sort of magical nature spirit, his interests are primarily in technology and politics and science fiction.
Spent many years on Reddit before joining the Threadiverse as well.
Have to admit, I was starting to wonder if he'd managed to learn just a smidgen of self control given how he'd managed to shut up about this for so long at this point. But I guess he ran out of other things he wanted to crow about given the failure of everything else he's been trying to do recently.
The conversion is intended for Americans, not for people who are good at math.
The orange idiot down south just opened his sphincter-mouth again on the 51st state thing, which is good news. I'm amazed he was able to shut up about it for as long as he has, I guess we just came up again on the "Wheel of Chaos" topic selector now that he wants everyone to stop looking at his latest total failure in Ukraine.

Not actually the case. GPL's "viral" nature depends on copyright prohibiting the use of the code you publish without agreeing to the GPL's conditions. Without copyright you could take GPLed code and use it in a closed-source program without publishing your own version or licencing it under the GPL. Most copyleft licenses are like that, including stuff like the Creative Commons.
Everyone other than the Americans. Europe, for example.
Ooh, they're offering free database hosting? Put me in touch.

It's been funny over the past year or two seeing threads in piracy forums where people were upset with AI trainers scraping pirated material to train their AI with. I'm curious where the general consensus will eventually land.

Open source generally depends quite heavily on copyright, though. None of the copyleft licenses work without it.
Maybe now the adults that are left can do some real work.
I mean, there's more evidence that he killed the pope than there is evidence that he fucks couches. And lots of people are saying he fucks couches. Not saying that he does, of course, just that lots of people are saying it.
He was 88, a stiff breeze would have been as effective an assassination method.
I don't want to hear that they're "considering" it, actually do it.
Giving answers on that is exactly what this community is for.
If they're thinking of making "style" something that can be copyrighted, then the effects on AI will be trivial compared to the general creative apocalypse as giant corporations lock everything down and go to war with each other.
What privacy? The Fediverse runs on an open protocol. Everything you say and do is transmitted to the world. If you're posting here your data isn't being bought and sold by big tech, it's being given to them.
This isn't to say that the Fediverse is a bad place or anything, just pointing out one of the tradeoffs in how it works. It's not under any one organization's control but there's consequences from that.
Aha! You were the hacker known as "Four Chan"!
Death to extremists!
Ironically, Trump might. Though I have yet to see much sign.
