So you admit that Israel just carried out a terrorist attack in Lebanon? Or is bombing and killing citizens is terrorism when "they" do it, not when "we" do it?

Too bad he failed that close to getting a Darwin award!

Yep, that's textbook big tech strategy: -Build up the hype -Get the product out there, make sure as many orgs and people start using it as possible. Make it free or sell at loss if necessary -Oh yes, we broke a few laws for this. If we don't get a waiver, we'll have to close the service for everyone, do you realize the impact?

That's Facebook on privacy, Uber on workers rights, etc. Now N+1th: OpenAI on copyright.

In these companies, does anyone check the licenses in details to make sure using them is ok for the company?

Meta will get at least the metadata: meaning they will record who was in which call connecting from where.

For example, if one member is visiting a client, Meta may be able to infer the relation between the 2 companies.

If any of the people in the room click "report", then the discussion is sent for review without the encryption protection

I'm pretty sure their user agreement translates to "you agree to let us do whatever the f*ck we want with the data you're purposely disclosing to us".

And last but not least: if Meta decides to wipe the archives, any info get lost?

There a reasons large companies ban unauthorized apps to talk about work.

XMPP is so bad it was the baseline for Whatsapp. You know: that minor platform that feels like IRC and never took off. A lot of the techno around you are old stuff that evolved, "new" techno usually comes with new unexpected issues. Then they mature, get better and... old?

You wish. Orban controls all the media there now. You can be sure the narrative is "Ukraine is just punishing them unfairly for calling for a ceasefire and negociations" or anothe nice story that will make them look bad.

Am I the only one who thinks that you could really please a lot of gamers by just taking old popular games with updated graphics, music, sounds and release as they were?

The beauty of it is they seem to mix a bench of definitions and forms they don't understand and assume they can mean whatever sounds convenient to them.

They quote dictionaries definitions as if they were legally binding to their interpretation.

Such a mix of abysmal ignorance and supreme confidence is incredible!

That's why you get "don't put living animals in the microwave oven" in the instructions.

If Tesla didn't explicitely wrote "don't put your f***ing finger in the way on purpose after multiple attempts to close it!" he may have a chance.

He will plead a trauma from the loss of trust in his beloved car brand and the credibility damage on his Youtube channel and ask for M$.

They would need to find an unclaimed island, I guess. Or isn't Antartica's status that it doesn't belong to any country? We could suggest that.

I kind of wonder if he realizes abandoning his citizenship means he'll become instantly an illegal, having no document authorizing him to stay in the country.
