The answer lies within the article

Publishers legally control content that AI companies desperately want, but AI companies don’t always want to negotiate a license. The first-sale doctrine offered a workaround: Once you buy a physical book, you can do what you want with that copy—including destroy it. That meant buying physical books offered a legal workaround.

And yet buying things is expensive, even if it is legal. So like many AI companies before it, Anthropic initially chose the quick and easy path. In the quest for high-quality training data, the court filing states, Anthropic first chose to amass digitized versions of pirated books to avoid what CEO Dario Amodei called “legal/practice/business slog”—the complex licensing negotiations with publishers. But by 2024, Anthropic had become “not so gung ho about” using pirated ebooks “for legal reasons” and needed a safer source.

“change plans to watch the movie”? As in, i planned to watch it, but now I won’t?

A simple calculator will also beat it at math.

Hey, say what you want about cyber truck owners, but at least they’re not rolling coal!

Gnome plugin are great. I’ve seen complaints about them breaking when gnome is upgraded, but I haven’t experienced any problems myself.

My only complaint is discoverability. I was rawdogging gnome in fedora for a while before i discovered the extension manager app in the Store. This should be built in!

No true. I use it only for FancyZones. A feature not native to Linux. In gnome I also have to install a plugin to get this functionality.

Tieing shoes is done in 3d. One more dimension of complexity. Tablets on the other hand have a flat screen, so the toddler only needs to work two dimensions to use it.

The title is still misleading and should have been worded better. Also company complying with sanctions is not news. The only reason it’d be newsworthy is if Microsoft locked his account independently.

Cheating themselves out of education.

Only in the USA

The devices you listed are either locked down, or are low powered devices themselves. None of them have a keyboard which is essential for linux.

I feel the same about youtube. I pay for premium, but sometimes creators bake in their own ads. I wish youtube would pay creators enough so they wouldn’t have to do it.

You also support big tech by giving them traffic and watching the ads. The only way to not support them is to not use it.

Podcast ads are easy to skip. Still, i pay subscription to my favourite podcast network to support them, and it’s more convenient not having to skip.

It’s not really that reliable as it it will depend on the diameter of the wheels that can vary with pressure, wear, and and actual tyre size.

A better method may be a sensor like the one used in optical mice.

For adults, Sensitive Content Warnings are opt-in and disabled by default

This image classification, which does not currently apply to videos, works on-device and is powered by Android System SafetyCore, which “doesn’t send identifiable data or any of the classified content or results to Google servers.”

That’s not an error, it’s a warning. It shouldn’t break anything…

Who buys a toilet you can only flush with an app??

It’s like saying list.isEmpty() over list.getLength() == 0 is a picky optimisation.

There’s a developer out there who coded this and they obviously don’t know what they’re doing. One day they’re gonna iterate all rows in the database to check if it’s empty. You have to flag these issues early and teach the newbies.

I only had a problem with it once, but having no experience with it really confused me.

I was mounting a directory to a docker container and i kept getting permission errors. The errors were not descriptive at all and really confused me as i already had sudo privileges and wasn’t expecting any problems with permission.
