BREAKING: 750+ musicians are now calling on major labels to drop their $621 million lawsuit against @internetarchive — a suit that could destroy the entire nonprofit.
Save Music, Save the Archive! 750+ musicians are speaking out to demand that major labels drop a lawsuit aimed to destroy the Internet Archive—and for their industry to take concrete actions to realign their actions with the interests of working arti…
As they always do whenever artists organize to say "hey giant corporations with tons of $$ and PR, don't destroy the thing we love", industry titans are now responding.
"SCANDAL: a nonprofit devoted to preservation advocates for the right to preserve history and culture—and the right to access it" + "We don't actually *mean* to destroy the Archive, it's just a suit!" + "AI is scary"
You can tell from the subheader, where the author concedes that the Internet Archive does important work, that industry execs are on their back heel way more than last time, when they sued to destroy the right to own and preserve surveillance-free digital books.
But the worldview in here is pretty old and unimpressive. Basically: copyright system = only option for artists to ever make a living. (Despite the fact that most aren't making a dignified living anymore, only record and DSP execs are, see the letter.)
It's mostly used by giant corporations to amass enough rights and power that they can generally successfully bludgeon musicians into saying whatever they want, or at least, suffering in silence.
You think they might have trotted out something other than the same old lines. It's not like it's a surprise we did a letter. We did another with authors and the Internet Archive a couple years back and it changed the entire conversation about the suit from big publishing.
Tho the point about "labels always trying to get more $$ for streaming" and how that benefits artists is just false on its face. They purposefully obfuscate their profits and cut deals so artists never see the $$. publicknowledge.org/the-stream…
Then there's this weird mental gymnastics fearmongering thing about how other companies that aren't the Archive might use AI to replace musicians and somehow that justifies suing over old 78 records.
Finally, the author seems shocked that we would accuse labels of trying to destroy the whole @internetarchive when...their suit, if successful, would do just that.
If major labels don't intend to destroy IA, they'll drop their suit, plain and simple, and work with IA to find a way to respectfully preserve music and music culture. After all, it's ~$41,000 in streams since 2006 they're suing over. IA fans would fundraise that in a heartbeat.
And: 600+ musicians signing letter against labels' Internet Archive suit; existential copyright trolling in books+music; rising threats to fan privacy; does Spotify Wrapped know you're gay, too?
>average onlyfans “creator” “earns” $151 per month >excluding the very few getting 5+ figures monthly it’s probably far lower >thousands of women think this is a good idea and worth selling their soul for
I sometimes try different #Linux distros, but always end up with something deb-based. Because to me they are most easy to use and friendly. I like apt and those distros' defaults. As of today, my new favorive is Linux Mint. I've been using #Debian and #Ubuntu before. But Mint os something I like more.

After-Death Communication (ADC) is, as the name implies, a communication between the living and the deceased. Also, as indicated in the name, it implies that the deceased are not really dead, as we know it, but living somewhere in another realm without their physical body. And, truth be told, the deceased would probably say they were experiencing even more aliveness than when they were living in the physical ...
After-Death Communications may seem a little creepy to those who have watched too many bad movies on the subject. And since there is so much we can’t understand, many misconceptions are possible.
But to those who have had this amazing form of communication, the experience can be extremely inspiring, healing and life transforming. An ADC is a lifeline that can give so much comfort and peace to a grieving heart and mind.
We have another gloating piece of shit here today. I've been saying, these idiots are a D-dimer a dozen!

I really want woman to critically think on this. Your posts about prioritizing your own happiness & to not feel like a mom in a relationship otherwise it's time to leave. This makes you immature & proves your not ready for a relationship. The message you are putting out is I am not for stability, I will not be there for you during rough times, I will not lift you up when you are down.
Every relationship has adversity that's a fact. People go through things which affect & change them that's a fact. Everybody falls on hard times once in their life that's a fact. What isn't a fact is knowing if your other will stand by you during your darkest times.
Now why would someone want to date a woman like that? The only thing she has to offer if not her stability is her beauty. Any girl can be hot, sexy, or beautiful but what makes the difference between a girl & a woman is how she handles adversity. How she continues to support you as you support her shows a lot more then realized.

Isn't this a little outdated, though? Modern CPUs have their northbridge and southbridge combined into a SoC integrated on the CPU, and most motherboards now have a promontory chip with is basically a port expander running through PCI-e... well, I guess speaking logically, the diagram is still valid even though the placement and names difer slightly
I recall that on the K8 the DDR connected directly to the CPU, which also had 3 HT interfaces that could be used as a FSB to the northbridge or connect to other CPUs.

A new chat app that would automatically install itself on the recipents phone if they were sent a message. "This is so useful", said my zoomer friend and gave me immidiate anxiety. I responded to the message with privacy concerns, but the message was AI corrected to something nice and generic instead. "Only happy messages :)" a popup noted.
Good storytelling pitch. I sense a trendy new cyberpunk subgenre here: dystopIA.
Lots of storytelling possibilities there. And to be honest, at some point I'm really tempted to do a short one-shot comic in that vein. It would have a stronger resonance today.
(edit: IA is the french acronyme for AI. not sure "dystopAI" works too as a English word, maybe yes)
(edit2: ironically, "dystopAI" in search engine redirect auto to dystopia, an auto-correct censorship. haha)
@davidrevoy haha yeah, the dream also continued to the chat program starting to cause misunderstanding between people, breaking relationships with queer folks and I was desperately trying to find and tell my friends they're being played fools and should stick together and not trust the messages they recieve.

I'm not overly hyped myself. I loved the original Witcher but didn't like the combat for Witcher 2 and have delayed playing the 3rd fearing it is more of the same. Would love to be wrong. I will stay out of any criticism of the change in protagonist as I haven't played the third.
@publiclewdness Witcher3 's combat is much better than the 2nd's (at least I like it way better), and Witcher 3 is a true open world which fits perfectly with the Witcher universe. And the story (and the 3 extensions) are totally worth it.
@publiclewdness Btw, the change in protagonist was not news, since CDPR told everyone for a long time that Witcher3 would be the end of the Geralt trilogy.
