Bring out the GIMP

Adding to your point. Why Google DeepMind broke up the AlphaFold team

Buys the ability to control open source model distribution.

for a database to train their product on

Isn’t hugging face a database of already trained models?

LIDAR is too chunky at the moment for head mounts, but i definitely see an industrial application for a Lidar backpack module.

For a HUD on AR glasses, cameras are not required at all.

What exactly does revanced do to what programs? The website is no help.

I ask for nothing, master.

And you shall receive it in abundance!

Half life Alyx. Superhot VR. Walkabout mini golf. VR boxing. Any VR flight/racing sim.

VR is more about having fun than practical solutions.

AR will bring the practical applications.

Before goldeneye there was no 3d Nintendo gaming.

every article I saw says the books were scheduled to be destroyed or taken to a dump, and those are the books they are swooping up.

Sounds like propaganda to me.

Oh yes. Non-physical items can be XXXX.

We are just disagreeing on the word, not the action. I don’t believe traditional words (like stolen) are 100% transferable to the digital world.

If you copied all my personal data from my laptop, I’d still have it.

If you stole it I wouldn’t.

Companies steal trade secrets from each other all the time.

If you copy a secret then it is no longer a secret, so something has changed for the original owner.

Stop making up definitions and just accept that it’s stealing.

You are the one changing the definition of stealing to try and apply it to piracy.

stealing /ˈstiːlɪŋ/ noun

the action or offence of taking another person’s property without permission or legal right and without intending to return it; theft.

Piracy doesn’t fit the definition of stealing, because the owners still have the property.

It’s definitely stealing

It’s definitely denying money to someone who is asking to be paid.

But since they, nor anyone else is affected by the copying activity I don’t think it can be called stealing.

How about

“Fuck the corps, they don’t wanna play fair I’ll steal use their shit and they won’t see a penny”

What is piracy then?

You still have room to add in shift complications, lunch and childcare responsibilities.

Try:

“Frankly Joanne, I don’t believe that is any of your business”

Don’t say that. Then they’ll buy another safe for the decoy phones.
