  • Ah, fuck, is that what the case is about? That sucks; that’s the kind of case where they both need to lose:

    • The law shouldn’t be copyrightable
    • AI companies shouldn’t be allowed to ‘launder’ copyright (and more to the point, copyleft) by reproducing chunks of copyrighted works divorced from their license

    If I were more conspiracy-minded, I would almost think that somebody intentionally decided to resolve this case first in order to guarantee that they set a disastrous precedent.




  • I’ll let you know when/if it happens.

    I was too uncool to ever be in a binge drinking peer pressure situation and have yet to find an alcoholic drink I actually like the taste of, so I’ve never managed to drink enough in one sitting to feel any significant effects.

    Don’t get me wrong: I want to like cocktails, as all the flavor combinations seem pretty interesting. It’s just that whenever I actually try one, I’m disappointed by how the bitter taste of the alcohol ruins whatever else is going on in the drink.





  • In the last decade, I’ve had that sort of issue affect me twice:

    1. I bought an AMD Vega 56 on launch day, and I had to run it with the proprietary driver for a while.
    2. I recently upgraded my three monitors, and was having trouble getting them all to do the 1440p/100Hz they were rated for. After a bunch of fiddling with xrandr etc. and trying to add modelines and whatnot, it turned out the real problem was that I needed to upgrade from HDMI cables to DisplayPort ones.

    Anyway, I guess the gist is that I wouldn’t have expected Windows to do any better in either case.
