Um, I would absolutely let people drive my car if it was guaranteed to be back before I needed it? What?

The difference is that OpenAI isn't offering a benevolent cooperative where they share the value evenly, they're trying to corner the market to extract maximum profit.

I don't understand lots of this sort of therapy-speak. Is the suggestion that everyone just loudly insists upon their every whim? Obviously there are extremes of this that cause people to silence and repress serious discomfort that ends up either coming out explosively or slowly eroding one's sense of self-worth, but to some degree this is just living in a society, sweetheart.

Because neither the Gulf of Mexico or Lake Ontario border any other countries?

I'm shocked they had enough of a backbone to refuse this request.

I would love to read about enclosure, can you give me a phrase I can actually search for?

Even then, chromatic aberration is only an artifact in bad lenses. It's been a solved issue for decades. It only makes sense to use if you're modeling a damaged camera.

I have never heard a convincing argument that any piracy is ethically or morally wrong: no one is being deprived of anything. You have to manually construct a scenario where someone is about to pay an independent artist for their work and then decides to use a copy instead, and even then I think it's hard to argue any actual harms.

They're all in bed together.

No, we're at the point where the people pushing these laws do understand how the Internet works, and they want to control all of it.

I think you're both interpreting the original quote in different ways. It was the obvious choice only because it was popular, but it wasn't popular because it was the best at reviving old hardware. There were many better options for squeezing performance out of old systems, and they would have been more "obvious choices" than Ubuntu for anyone with any knowledge of the Linux ecosystem.

Can't you still transfer content to them? Just pirate everything you paid for and manually put it on there. I have a newer Kindle and I have never once connected it to their servers, just use Calibre.
