Well if you're going to argue with words, there was one Holocaust but many holocausts:

> Extensive destruction of a group of animals or (especially) people; a large-scale massacre or slaughter.

However it's discussed if "Holocaust" is a good term to describe the Shoah:

> This use of the term has been criticised because it appears to imply that there was a voluntary religious purpose behind the Nazi actions

Does that meat represent a substantial portion of the average meat consumed there? Some says the same here in Europe but still most go to the supermarket where most of the groceries aren't vegetarian, let alone vegan. I respectfully doubt there's places where people check the milk origin of their ice cream and never go to fast foods. It's great small local farmers and food-crafters exists with great quality outcome, but how do they compare in quantity with industrial meat, milk and eggs consumed in those large swaths?

And it's forbidden to do that in certain contexts. Selling a service that regurgitate licensed content is neither legal for humans or machines. German court just reminded OpenAI:

But people get earworms and sing songs out loud that they don't own rights to.

The minute it becomes feasible for the RIAA to charge you a fee every time you have a song playing in your head you can bet they'll be sending you a bill or a legal threat. They'll even come after you for singing when it's profitable enough.

Copyright and performance rights are two separate things. It's completely fine for me to go and perform (not record - that does need a license) the latest hit song until my heart is content.

Only in private. Copyright law can give the owner exclusive rights to perform a song publicly. If the lawyers can convince a judge that your singing counts as a public performance you can end up on the hook for not getting or being covered under a performance license.

The right to quote allows the use of copyrighted text with limits that are followed by OpenAI

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_quote

I think your copyright argument is focused on media, like music. This appears be a specific exception that applies to text. Music sampling for example is a direct copy of the recording but quoting text, even though it's a copy, is a new work because although the words are the same it's not the original copied (as in the quote is written or typed by OpenAI).


It absolutely is not. This is completely wrong.

I don't know Trader Joe and what they offer but here's some quick preps I found convenient:

- cereals and lentils/beans semolina. Mix with oil, spices and hot water. Cover and wait 5 minutes.

- Cans of beans, lentils, chickpeas mixed with pre-made tabbouleh or another carb. Oil/spice and eat.

- Various marinated tofu: they're delicious own they own and don't need prep: open and bite.

- Instant mashed lentils/slip peas/quinoa (flakes). Oil/spice/water and eat.

- Tempeh: microwave and dip in sauce.

- bread and houmous.

- bread and nuts.

- Vegetable that can be eaten raw: rince and eat. Dip in sauces if you like. Carrots, cauliflower, cucumber, radishes, chicory, small iceberg salads...

- Fruits. rince and eat.

The trick is to have a few different oils and spices, those add taste and nutrients. Also you can add to anything a spoon of brewer's yeast if you're into that (cheese/fermented taste) or of silken tofu for more creamyness.


Sound like a German saying :

Candid question: why do you block those?


One word answer - security.

Any website you visit could have been compromised and serving malicious content. Upon first visit to a website, I block all connections to domains not in the address bar, then go back in and add rules to allow connections as needed. It doesn't address malicious activity by the site directly, like a server compromise, but does limit non-addressed connections, including ones to local addresses.

For example, a compromise of .google.com which leveraged assets/code from .googleusercontent.com wouldn't initially be able to run, unless I added a rule to allow the connection. Likewise, a compromise of *.discord.com that made a connection to localhost:8983, then tried to send that data to someserver.ru would get blocked and logged. Where this can't protect me is if the server sends the mined data back to itself, then forwards that data on using its own connection.

Ad networks sell to anyone. Malicious content can be injected almost anywhere. Its happened before; it'll happen again. This web browsing hygiene has protected me enough times for me to make it my standard practice.


Centralised assets beget cross-domain fingerprinting and tracking. The extension DecentralEyes tackles precisely this problem.


> which forces people to upgrade every year

Perhaps it’s just a language slip, how are people forced to upgrade every year? My experience is the opposite: ios 15 is still supported[0] and my 2016 iPhone let me access the World Wide Web.

The force your talking about comes instead from developers (like me) that implements features and systems always more CPU/GPU hungry.

In certain circles it's assumed that people buy a new phone every year. Then they make 30 minute Youtube videos lambasting Apple about "incremental upgrades" and "zero innovation"

While also not getting that they're NOT the target market.

For the person whose iPhone finally (after half a decade or more) falls out of major version support a 5-6 generation jump on hardware is amazing.

They are the target market.


Certain part of apple customer culture seems to be peculiar, a lot(?) of traditional customers seem to care a lot about "redesigns", partly because they want every time to get the new shiny thing anyway. Having started using anything apple only after apple silicon, it feels weird seeing these takes in forums. For reviewers it makes sense, as they need things to talk about, but I don't get this for other customers, esp since for me and many people "redesigns" for the sake of redesigning are typically hated except if they are actually addressing actual practical or aesthetic issues. Eg the touchpad thing was indeed horrible and many people hate it for a reason, but redesign requests are not limited to actual things people do not like. I don't think I have seen this as much for other companies and I do not get why they care (maybe they are just bored?).


I think some people see having an older generation iPhone as sending a signal of "I’m poor", a status thing. Pretty ugly thing, but the act of buying iPhones on credit happens too often.


Taking this time to appreciate my social circle NOT being like that.


Does the door unlock if if the in-display camera can’t recognize your face though?


I didn't think that these fridges locked the door. Is that a "child proofing" feature you can enable or something?


Earthlings is a fantastic documentary, fresh, honest, clear and without artifice. Highly recommend it too!
