True, but I think you can get some pretty decent high airflow 80mm fans these days.

You could probably upgrade the fans.

a lot of people choose Reddit, or Facebook, or Instagram, or Snapchat, because the tradeoff is agreeable.

A lot of people choose those sites because they don't understand the trade off, because the site is presented as "free of charge" while the exchange of your data is a secondary transaction hidden in the fine print of the terms and conditions. It is NOT and exchange of data for access to the service, not at the point of sale, not the way they present it.

There is also a nuance in that you have to grant them rights to your work in order for them to legitimately host the material. This is essential, but they use it as an opportunity to claim far more rights than are necessary, without any fair exchange.

They still have the right to distribute it. It's not like reddit, who not only claim the right but also apparently claim ownership of any content you publish there, while providing no consideration (payment) in return.

However, as you say, they have the right to deny you, and by copying you are subverting their rights. That's still not theft, though, which is why copyright infringement is a separate offense.

Theft is a crime, copyright infringement is a civil matter.

Depends on how you define stealing.

Stealing is theft, or in US law larceny, which is very clearly defined. Copying does not meet this definition, hence why copyright infringement is a separate offense.

Theft is a crime, copyright infringement is a civil offense (except commercial copyright infringement, which can be reached if the value exceeds $1,000 - lobbyists worked hard to criminalise what normal citizens were doing and had success in this point, while they still get away with fleecing everyone, both artists and end users).

It was all about the dog anyway XD

the one with the most ability to act on his own

Maybe 3 years ago he would've been, but right now, with an election coming up against Trump and his Maggats, he's in a very precarious position.

TWeaK , 3 months ago to Technology in Google's AI-powered search results are loaded with spammy, scammy garbage

But that's the AI's fault, definitely not Google's, who built and designed the AI.

TWeaK , 3 months ago to politics in Biden reacts to pro-Palestinian protesters: 'They have a point'

He's the leader of the party, but this had bipartisan support.

I'm not saying he's not responsible, just that they all are. Also he has to be careful with it being election year and being up against Trump.

TWeaK , 3 months ago to politics in Biden reacts to pro-Palestinian protesters: 'They have a point'

He's definitely culpable, but he's far from the only one.

TWeaK , 3 months ago to politics in Biden reacts to pro-Palestinian protesters: 'They have a point'

Any comment on the fact that donors paying for aid to UNRWA wanted this, or that it was bipartisan and - as you just pointed out - it was Congress that put it in the budget?

Why is everything all Biden's fault, when you have already said in multiple points that other people were pushing for it also?

Meanwhile the UK live in blissful ignorance.

but she says donors want to see a full investigation of the Israeli allegations.

both parties (except a few progressives) united to ban it till 2025.

How is Biden literally responsible for everyone uniting on that point?

Don't forget O&OShutup, should be run regularly as well to catch the things Windows Update resets.

I'd take Clippit at this point.
