Having recently migrated from Reddit (and kept up with commercial social media hacks) I'm used to Nothing To See Here! We totally didn't store your personal information in plaintext for hackers to snatch. Oh and maybe please change your passwords. All Part Of The Show!
So, by comparison, the response here is downright heartwarming.
Any lawsuit that rules in favor of copyright holders promotes piracy (as opposed to legalizing use of copyrighted material).
The more draconian and extreme our copyright laws, the more there is a need for a piracy sector.
I think this is going to raise some questions about fair use, since AI projects are absolutely a derivative works that are sufficiently removed from the content they used. (There may be some argument that it's also educational use.)
This case may rekindle questions about fair use given that our current copyright-maximalist clime has been less interested in enforcing fair use and more interested in enforcing copyright regardless of fair use.
Youtube's ad policy is abusive, and online ads are not always safe. Regardless of whether adblocking is legal or fair to Youtube, not doing so puts you at greater risk of malware insertion so is a necessary safety precaution.
As YouTube profits from your engagement through more than ads, YouTube still benefits even when you watch videos without ads.
I thought Luigi was Nintendo's gay representation.
I'd assume Adobe was a bad actor sooner than Mozilla. Adobe is a big-time fan of DRM and dark patterns.
I've had this conversation with more than one girlfriend, typically talking about the conflict between having a migraine, taking medication to not hurt and the boss wants her at work pronto (45 minute commute by car).
(I'm sick -- and infectious -- and too nauseous to walk without meds) + (boss wants me at my station) is also an expression that has seen action from time to time.
I've never heard of periods ceasing due to a lack of red meat, though yes, I'd imagine that would be a great incentive.
Only that among women in my close proximity (close enough that I could glean their cycles) that a lot of them would have ferocious meat cravings once a month that enabled my own red meat habits, so that even when beef prices jumped, and we had economic reasons to cut down, meat would be on the menu again.
Can you link to the article please so I can read it. I don't want the article to be sad.
I get that a lot.
By 2000, French and Brazilian bodyscaping were the norm in the porn industry, in contrast to the 80s and 90 in which full pubes were common unless the talent was trying to signal she was kinky.
In the 70s, the Golden Age of Porn, full pubes were expected (or at most, someone might get a bikini trim, like for wearing a bikini). If someone was trimmed or shaved, it was because she was a French arty bohemian. (I don't know if the Brazillians were doing it yet.)
Before that, porn was mostly pin ups and underground reels. If you wanted to see below the waist you had to find nudist documentary footage. Also European porn in the mid 20th century dipped as young as 14 years, though 16 was more common. Only after globalization and Europorn was marketing in the US did a hard age floor of 18 years become enforced.
ETA: Before the 21st century in western civ, women's bits were notoriously mysterious, what with young men trying to sneak a peak and only getting to see bush. Also men's mags were conscious about showing genitals until the late 80s. (There was an open spat between Playboy and Penthouse about the thresholds of pridishness, tastefulness, and indecency.)
