I suppose they meant that it slows down their internet, not the internet

Obligatory

This but unironically

Cavemen generally didn’t have alarm clocks

Unfortunately no

Still not dead

This is pretty much one of the sanest things calkearns has drawn, too

Meaning that he knows he’s sharing bullshit

Makes sense that it’s not a Tesla.

You sure he’s getting hoodwinked and not sharing shit he knows is fake on purpose?

Stalin was nominated twice

The program’s path from a CP/M app by MicroPro onward is winding, being shoved into a half-baked office suite, acquired by SoftKey, which became the Learning Company, acquired by Mattel, spun off to Houghton Mifflin Riverdeep, and is now the archival property of—well, nobody’s quite sure.

Looking forward to the eventual frivolous takedown notice and/or lawsuit – suits seem to have absolutely zero brains when it comes to this stuff. Or, well, when it comes to anything except making themselves and their buddies on the board richer, really

Perfect

Hah, huge surprise that this was their reaction. Garbage product made by a garbage company run by garbage people.

maybe they could improve the search results in general

They have no incentive to do that. What they do have an incentive for is showing you a lot of bullshit results that also conveniently happen to use their ad network, so you have to click on multiple pages and see more ads before finding what you were looking for.

I swear short incel guys are the stupidest people on the planet. The dude this post is referring to was blaming everything else except his own fantastically shitty personality for his lack of feeeeeeeemale attention

More AI you say? Can do!

Ah surprising that Poland’s still got copyright laws that relaxed, I thought they’d been more or less harmonized in the whole EU. Finland’s laws used to be pretty much like what you describe too, but they were changed… uh, fuck, I think 10 – 20 years ago to be stricter and I have a vague memory that they claimed it was to be more in line with how most other countries are in the EU, but it’s very much possible that either the politicians behind this lied, or that I remember wrong

That’d depend on your local copyright laws, but it’s probably illegal.

Getting caught without your friend calling the cops on you is extremely unlikely, at least assuming you don’t do anything fantastically stupid

Certainly not! Or other industries for that matter. It’s a good thing executives everywhere aren’t just concentrating on squeezing the maximum amount of money out of their companies and funneling it to themselves and their buddies on the board.

Sure, let’s “rightsize” the company by firing 20% of our workforce (but not management!) and raise prices 30%, and demand that the remaining employees maintain productivity at the level it used to be before we fucked things up. Oh and no raises for the plebs, we can’t afford it. Maybe a pizza party? One slice per employee though.
