I hope these are used against them in court. Something tells me that complete lack of respect for the charges and lack of remorse for the crimes is not going to go over well with a jury.

Political parties exist for the sole purpose of rigging politics by disenfranchising the public. Their entire existence is a kind of corrupt, elitist caste system.

These organizations need to be treated the same way as corporations that get too big: they should forcibly split up. Force parties to form coalitions to get anything done, like in other parliamentary systems. Take away their corrupt levers - like FPTP voting (force RCV instead) and dark money, and return power to the people instead tolerating it in the hands of a couple private, invite-only cabals.

The data was already there. Twenty years of it. Remote work is not remotely new. They chose to ignore it because executive fee-fees are more important than facts and data.

Chatgpt is similar to if someone were to buy 10 copies of different books, put them into 1 book as a collection of stories, then mass produce and sell the “new” book

That is not even close to correct. LLMs are little more than massively complex webs of statistics. Here’s a basic primer:

Yeah! Let’s burn fair use to the ground! Technology is scary! Destroy it all!

There's a bunch of articles and videos that go over how it happened. It's not too different from what happened to Interplay back in the day. Here's one overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7Xu4GvpN9U

“Controversial”? WaPo, this was brazenly illegal and unconstitutional. “Controversial” is not the right word.

Guy comes into the company and uses illegal, fraudulent methods to take it over. He then demoted the co-owners (and founders) to mere "employees" so they could be fired. The plan was to then sell the company to a big publisher and walk away with all the money.

It's called a PC. All consoles are based on them. Develop for PC first... problem solved.

Classic gaming industry IP theft. Investors underhandedly forced the founders/developers out of their own company and stole the IP.

It bums me out that GTAV is anywhere near the top 10, but otherwise I am so happy to see the Top 2 slots going to deep, reactive, old-school-style CRPGs.

Debian + GNOME.

Historically I've been a huge fan of Ubuntu, but I just can't tolerate Snap any more and started moving away from Ubuntu in general.
