Yeah the fact that all of the debt is staying with the merged company is tipping their hands. This is what Venture Capitalist companies do. This is why JoAnn fabrics is going under.

Buy the company, somehow move the debt for the loan to buy the company onto the books of the company being bought. Fail to make up for those loan payments after a few years and then skin it off, only to have it shutter.

It’s always the ones you most expect.

They need to add a backdoor

Wow, it hit public domain THAT long ago?

They’re already using that one for Israel’s warcrimes

One of the biggest issues running AI is keeping those huge data centers cool.

So let’s build one in a desert

I’m an android user, so not sure if it’s on iOS but I’ve used ReadEra

I’ve loaded epubs into the app ReadEra, which lets you read it like any other novel app or will, in real time, read it to you. It’s not the most natural of speech, but was good enough for my commute when I was in the midst of a compelling book.

Hey, they spent billions on their acquisition of ActiVivendiBethesdaBlizzArcaneKing and they’re gonna Get. Their. ROI.

I can get that for free. There are apps that will read an ebook to you already. The whole point of paying the premium on audible is the superior reading/acting. Not put up with mispronounced words, weird cadence and an inability to handle acronyms

Dude, Sounds like you were old enough to understand that almost burning down your school intentionally, multiple times, was bad. Bullies or not. I’m not sure why you’re taken aback by someone thinking a little arsonist in training isn’t a good kid.

Hopefully you’re less of a piece of shit now

I never intentionally destroyed expensive electronics to “try to impress” anyone in real life, let alone online (although that didn’t quite exist yet).

So, yeah, I’m sure.

I don’t get it. I was never this stupid as a kid.

Edit: thank you for explaining to me that many of you were that stupid. I guess I never hung around any of you.

I have many issues with the gamer deference to the steam monopoly… But they don’t partake in this particular abuse: taking a cut from the dev for all in game purchases. They only take a (sizeable) cut for the initial game purchase.

That’s usually what indicates a box office bomb.

Nah. They changed the game. It didn’t used to be like that. You bought a physical copy, you owned that copy. Now they’ve added some bullshit “it’s actually a lease and we can review access at any time we want, fuck consumer” language. Stop defending this nonsense.

All that anti repair garbage going in, also. And game console Companies suing you for modifying your own machine.

Accessing content I paid for isn’t pirating. And corporations have been working in eroding our ownership of the things we pay for years now. You can stop pretending they haven’t

This only makes sense if they are counting intellisense auto complete as “AI written”

Even buying physical media, they claim you still don’t own the content, are only leasing it. It’s all bullshit to charge more and give us less. Stop defending this practice of eroding consumer rights
