…on a more serious note. Can’t they simply that USA’s healthcare system is so fucked up that people are taking the matters into their own hands?
Your and @tal@lemmy.today’s experiences are basically the same as mine. Except with translation instead of programming.
Larson argued that low-quality reports should be treated as if they’re malicious.
It’s refreshing and uplifting to see this sort of sanity.
The problem is that defending against a copyright troll in the court is an expensive headache, and the copyright troll has a whole army of lawyers to prove for sure that the Moon is made of green cheese. As such, even if the target knows that it’s a bogus claim, they still comply with the troll to avoid the court.
Sending a takedown notice under DMCA that’s knowingly false is perjury, which would presumably come up at the court hearing.
In theory, yes. In practice, good luck proving that the copyright troll knew it and acted maliciously.
[Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, nor from any country following Saxon tribal law like USA. Take what I say with a grain of salt.]
As far as I know, in theory the victim of the bogus DMCA could sue the copyright troll for damages, including attorney fees and all that stuff. In practice, it would be the same as nothing, megacorp who hired the copyright troll would make sure that the victim knows its place.
As of now the site is already back.
The core of the problem is that there’s absolutely nothing effectively preventing companies from abusing IP claims to harass whoever they want.
At least you’d expect claims to be automatically dropped when coming from an assumptive/disingenuous party. Something like “you issued 100 wrong claims so we won’t listen to your 101st one, sod off”. But nah.
As such, “your violating muh inrelactual properry, remove you’re conrent now!!!” has zero cost, and a thousand benefits. Of course they’d abuse it.
The role of AI in this situation is simply to provide those companies a tool to issue more and faster claims, at the expense of an already low accuracy.
Only if it’s lead acetate. You’d need vinegar or at least wine, not whisky.
Thanks for sharing this data - it’s great.
It actually makes sense; if cat urine contained ammonia the smell would be gone once you washed your cat’s impromptu litterbox, since ammonia is both volatile and highly soluble. And yet it keeps stinking - this hints that there’s something else there producing that ammonia by decomposition. (Probably proteins. Cats eat a lot more protein than we do.)
Note: chlorine gas is the one that leaks from an open bleach bottle, and gives it a distinctive smell. The ones created by reacting bleach with ammonia are chloramines, considerably more poisonous.
The people here and their attitude towards people who don’t agree with them are the problem.
And that’s a structural problem. The ActivityPub was supposed to allow both the “average person” and the “nerd” to coexist in the same platform, without one getting too much in the way of the other; it doesn’t.
I’m not sure on a good solution for that.
And yet if you post it in 4chan expect at least some Anons telling you that you’re a “dumb frogposter”.
It could be worse. You could speak a minority language. Then this shit stops being “mildly infuriating” to become “frankly depressing”.
I remember. And how much shit the community flung towards them. And their rep is still stained with it, as it should be.
Plot twist: the comic has a single MC. He wears a red shirt, then he gets his morning coffee, then he wears a yellow shirt.
I’m being cheeky to highlight that the comic is artificially creating a qualitative distinction where there’s none. Patriotism is at most nationalism lite; if not just an euphemism for the later.
It does so through two (IMO rather disingenuous) resources:
What I’m going to say below is simply showing the above.
[P] I’m gonna work on my house because it’s the best house.
Put people into the equation there. Both P and N will happily ignore what happens with people who live in other houses, for the sake of people living in their own. Except that they are not related to most people in their respective houses (remember, metaphors break).
Your neighbour is starving? “Sorry, as a patriot I need to focus only on people living in my house. One of them is peckish. They take priority.”
[N] My house is the best house because it’s my house!
People claiming to be “nationalists” typically defend the superiority of their “house” with shit like: it’s the oldest house in the bloc, someone who lived in that house did something great, the garden has 0.19% less weed etc. Pretty much the same as the “patriot”.
[P] Hi, neighbour! Could I see your house? I’m trying to improve my house.
More like “hi neighbour! I need some quality dirt for my house. I’ll try to convince you that it’s in the best of the interests of everyone living in your house if you had sand instead, so you can give me the dirt. And if you don’t agree I’m going to convince every neighbour in the bloc to throw their rubbish on your garden. Do we have a deal, or do we have a deal?”
[N] Gimme your house […]
P would instead spam propaganda until you’re convinced that you’re better off living of favour in someone else’s house.
[P] Come into my house… / [N] Stay out of my house…
Okay, now the comic is simply making distinctions up of thin air, given that both are typically OK with tourism but heavily suspicious of immigrants.
[N] Now I am patriotism
Ouroboros, please. You were patriotism since the start.
I’d say “a plague in both houses”, but I can only see one house there.
Additional opinion: piracy is always morally good if the reason for your piracy is inability to buy something. That includes when the item is delisted, as in the OP, but also when you can’t afford it.
[I agree with the OP by the way. Specificities should be ironed out, but in spirit it would be a good law.]
