That or they are holding for evidence as cops seem to lie all the fucking time

These companies do not make profit in paper but have already made millions for others.

It’s all smoke and mirrors

… To the surprise of <checks notes> absolutely nobody

Actually I have a question and I admit knowing nothing of the legal framework here but…

Isn’t it absolutely ridiculous that a not-for-profit entity can exists solely for the purpose of developing a closed-source piece of software, demand to train it for free off copyrighted material, just to switch to a for-profit entity??

Sound 100% like tax avoidance. Like me registering a charity so I can throw a mega concert/party privately, secure preferencial treatment on supplies, get discounts on artists or even free performance and then switch to for profit as I start selling tickets

Nothing here is about you bud… Self centered much?

I’ll just stop feeding the attention hungry hippo

Having more experience than you in a topic does not mean projection

Oh please, there are hundreds if not thousands of stories about suicide out there and they don’t have warnings

Stop being so overly cynic, trust me, it’s not as edgy as you think it is

Hopefully it’s because you’d never need one

Disney built its entire empire on existing/public domain stories. Cinderella, Little Mermaid, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, Robin Hood. The list goes on. Hell even Aladdin is largely located from Middle Eastern fairy tales.

Absolutely, but at least back then they truly added value by tweaking the stories (those original stories are mostly horror stories to our hears) and providing great animation. Nowadays, they buy great IPs and just ruin them; not only they are not adding any value, they are actively taking value away from them

I want it to be super cool to wear really old but well maintained clothes…

I want people to be all like “oh sorry, this is only 3 years old, I had nothing older to wear”

End the “color of the month” crap and all the hot fashion trends

Disney was a creative and innovative company up until the 90s maybe… In the last 2 decades almost everything they are known for was either made before or bought and destroyed

Well, did you go out and defended democracy by force?

So you didn’t read my second paragraph?

Happy to read about it of you have any source to share

I know vaping is not without dangers but it is a step forward from smoking. I honestly never read anything about second hand vaping fumes

In any case, I am not in favour of vaping in schools. I just think schools should not spend money in these detector crap. They should address it with their best tool, education

From vaping? I think you have vaping and smoking confused

Considering they are only harming themselves, no I do not care much

As others mentioned, I think schools should dedicate resources to address this situation through education, instead of paying some start up for some surveillance gadgets

So you think we should all be allowed to smoke in non-smoking places?

No, but I see you need to make up a point I didn’t make so you could attack that.

Lazy strawman, you must be from reddit

How is this invading someone’s privacy?

So you think they will not use this to try to identify the vaping student?

Trump thinks Elon is a genuis… that speaks volumes of Trump’s own intelligence

“I got the confidence to really jump into Linux after the Steam Deck.”

I offered my son (16) to get him an “office” computer for his room so he can do homework and emails and junk. He said he felt so comfortable with Linux because of the Steam Deck and we could instead just get a nicer monitor and a docking station and he will use the Deck as a gaming machine AND office workstation whenever our main computer (also Linux) is busy
