And Lemmy is a shitshow of "I'm more progressive and left than you, you fascist!" despite being a far left echo chamber.
😆 This reads like they're choosing to drop it because they want to focus on other things, when the reality is that just the other day they lost their appeal to have it blocked (after their original court loss to have it blocked, this was them also losing the appeal) lol.
The FTC’s appeal to block Microsoft’s $69 billion deal to acquire the company behind Call of Duty was denied by San Francisco’s 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals today, further cementing a purchase that was originally announced in late 2022 (via Reuters). It was a move decided by a three-judge panel that brought an end to the FTC’s questioning of the July 2023 decision to allow Microsoft to finalize its purchase.
Lina Khan turned the FTC into an absolute joke, and they're going to have a hard time undoing all the damage she did. They never should have even attempted to block this acquisition. The FTCs entire argument was "yeah sure they'll still be coming last in the market, but they'll have a monopoly somehow" lol. Realistically what they were trying to do was just tie it up in court as long as possible, hoping that the EU would block it. When the EU didn't block it, the FTC went into panic mode because they had no case. They were made to look amateur in court, and they were lambasted by the judges for the waste of time and lack of reasons for the court case.
The FTC hoped that the EU would block the deal, and then the FTC would look like they won as well. Instead they were made to look stupid in court.
The flu shot is free for everyone........isn't it? It is where I live.
That would be a really cool use of AI. Get the AI to do the drawings, then get things like modified 3D printers to put them on to paper/plastic/whatever medium.
The whole "they need to get permission!" thing makes no sense. When I watch an MKBHD video I don't need to get his permission to learn from him. I don't need his permission to learn from his style. I don't need permission from an artist to learn from their art style, their brush stroke technique, their colour science. I just look at it, watch it, read about it, and I learn. I can then use what I learned to make new stuff and there is nothing that they can, or should be able, to do about it.
The same applies for AI. AI isn't recreating the material that it is trained from - it's "learning" from it. It doesn't take the Mona Lisa as training material and then output the Mona Lisa.
The "checkmark wars" begin. People using it as a sign of importance etc and as a way to dismiss others opinions.
Bluesky just doing their best to get straight back to pre-elon left-wing-echo-chamber Twitter. They learned nothing.
Reading comprehension? Huh? Maybe you missed my edit:

Strange cause like I said, I've been doing this for literal decades and can count the number of times I've had to reinstall windows on one hand, with a few fingers to spare. 50+ windows machines at any given time at work for 15+ years. Every family members computers for 25+ years.

One hand.
With fingers to spare.
This is why Trump is in the oval office, and some of you are too full of yourselves to see it.
You mean calling them Nazi's and fascists and telling them they should be murdered because they want to stop illegal immigration didn't work?! I am SHOCKED.
