Miner Wars 2081 has similarities. Same people who made Space Engineers.

There’s a difference between allow by default and deny by default. One of them is necessary for a healthy society while acknowledging that you need to keep certain groups away from you. The other is culty.

Followed up quickly with a diatribe on how you’re the one who isn’t thinking it through.

I answered that above already. Good bye.

Copy the whole thing:

How do they apply pressure though? (they threaten to sue)

Beside the fact that it wasn’t even you, they made a specific answer to that question as if it was authoritative. They were not “just asking questions”, either.

Where did you ask a question in this reply chain?

Eth doesn’t take much power like that anymore if that’s what you’re thinking. Other crypto does, of course.

They’re not going to leverage this to destroy all copyright. They’re going to carve out exceptions for their own purposes.

As for applications that help the working class, it only stays that way as long as the models aren’t rising to a certain level of intelligence and consciousness. Once they do, I’d have to consider them fellow exploited workers.

Brand names in the US are Swerve and Truvía. I don’t think it gets added to much in junk food factories, but it is available in packets for tea and such.

Trump dismantled US soft power. A lot of it happened in his first term, Biden built back some of it around the invasion of Ukraine, but Trump II has destroyed it further.

Which is great if you ignore everything else.

Could be AI slop, but probably just compression artifacts.

any member can call bullshit on the Chair

Yes, definitely making excuses.

They care about bad PR. Angry, organized people can create lots of bad PR.

Look, this whole subthread is jumping to conclusions based on speculation. Maybe they are using legal strategies, but that’s not obvious.

This is a very common hypocrisy among first gen US immigrants. I’m a good Irish, not like those dirty ones coming over now; we should keep them out.

I’m guessing Roberts Rules stuff.

As a quick and dirty thing, you can call a voice vote of ayes and nays. If it’s not particularly close, it’ll be obvious what the outcome is, the Chair will call the result, and everyone moves on. However, any member can call bullshit on the Chair, and then it goes to a more formal process.

So without watching the whole damn video, it’s probably that the voice vote went one way, the Chair said it was the other, got called on it, and the roll call vote went against him.

They ate their Wheaties this morning. Tomorrow, back to Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

I once saw Obama having a covfefe.

You know you’re in the right communities when Hulk Hogan dies and everyone says “fuck that guy”.

That whole war was a setup to take land from Mexico. We do not need to remember it with fondness any better than Vietnam or Iraq.

Do you know that or are you speculating?
