  • If it’s that big a deal go after the service providers for the servers, this type of shit just makes inhibiting free speech easier.

    If I don’t want people using Truth Social I guess making a bunch of accounts to share torrent links would be enough to shut it down?

    The MPAA still has never been able to demonstrate that privacy even has actual impacts on movie and ticket sales… When Netflix was super convenient and had a lot of content piracy went down. Turns out splitting to dozens of streaming services made it difficult enough that people just went back to sailing the high seas. So lower your prices, make it more convenient to pay for services and people will just do that instead.






  • Why should a company get to use my work and data for free to train their AI, for which they’ll make a ton of money, without compensating me. At a minimum they should be informing me so I can make that choice with full knowledge.

    This isn’t a university or educational research either, this is one of the largest companies in the world with Billions of dollars in annual revenue. And to top it off, I already have to pay them for their operating system and annually for their office suite. So not only am I paying them for their product, they’ll then steal my data to train an AI to try and sell that to us too?

    That’s not even taking into account any concerns with “AI might replace me at my job” that a number of folks have.



  • Secret History is a great read to revisit what happened during the original mistborn series from a “secret” perspective.

    If you want a break before diving into another trilogy or series you can always check out Elantris , Warbreaker, or The Emperor’s Soul. They’re all stand alones that take place in the cosmere and are quick reads.

    But as someone re-reading Mistborn, I love the Wax and Wayne series, they’re great.

    As others have said, you can jump to any other cosmere series and you’ll love them too.
