This is great news, but it is always worth remembering the ebb and flow of these things. It happens because an individual cared. Eventually, that individual won’t be in the decision-making process, and the office will likely come back. At least it usually goes thst way.

I don’t care if it’s not new, no one cares about how new it is.

You might want to look up what strawmanning means. I’m just flat out mocking what you said.

Yes yes, #alllivesmatter amiirte? We just ignore that 99.999% of the victims will be women, just so we can grandstand about men.

Sorry if I didn’t position this about men. They are the most important thing to discuss and will be the most impacted here, obviously. We must center men on this subject too.

We can’t stop biketheft so fuck off women, your free game coz this guy said so.

It is massively upvoted (for lemmy).

I hate this: “Just accept it women of the world, accept the abuse because it’s the new normal” techbro logic so much. It’s absolutely hateful towards women.

We have legal and justice systems to deal with this. It is not the new normal for me to be able to make porn of your sister, or mother, or daughter. Absolutely fucking abhorrent.

https://kbin.social/m/technology@lemmy.world/t/927248/-/comment/5921190 just accept it as a new normal, it’s fine. Can’t possible have any recourse, just accept it women of the world, it’s the new normal!

Yeah it’s this shit I’m talking about. We have a whole legal and justice system to deal with this. No kne needs to accept sexual abuse as a new normal. This shit is weird.

Every time this comes up, all the tech nerds here like to excuse it as fine and not a bad thing at all. I am hoping this won’t happen this time, but knowing lemmys audience…

The people being exploited are the ones who are the victims of this, not people who paid for it.

I know we all like to hate on canonical for literally any reason, but this happens with every single software repository that is not a closed garden and some that are.

And yeah, it’s sandboxed, so the damage is far, far less than it could be.

Fair use depends on a lot, and just being a small amount doesn’t factor in. It’s the actual use. Small amounts just often fly under the nose of legal teams.

If you read an article, then copy parts of that article into a new article, that’s copyright infringement. Same with ais.

Shockingly, you don’t need to dig. And handwaving away the cost, including the environmental cost of infinite rocket launches forever because “oh magical technology will save us some day” does not help your case.

You might have a point if launching rockets was cheaper, but launching infinite rockets forever is not cheaper. The rockets fall out of the sky. So we’re talking about one upfront cost or a cost forever.

The alternative is not “higher orbit satellites”, it’s “put wires on the earth”.

Firing infinite rockets that fall out of the sky in a year is a bad, wasteful option that only exists because the American government is not under enough pressure to fix its infrastructure problems.

the rest of the world, even the big countries with lots of remote citizens, they used wires not infinite rockets.

They got subsidies and were recently denied some. Don’t pretend they never got any thank you.

It is quite literally how it works.

In addition, Starlink is not a good solution. It requires an infinite amount of rockets sent into low earth orbit forever, at a heavy subsidised cost paid for by American taxpayers.

You should be pushing for long-term solutions, not ones that literally fall out of the sky six months after the subsidies stop.
