Well I assumed it was the crybaby hiding behind his mommy since it’s his chatbot.

But now that I think about it, the manbaby in the leaky diaper is just as fragile, so it’s possible that it all started with him boo-hooing to the crybaby.

Six of one, half a dozen of the other…

Such a fragile little manchild.

Ah …

I’ve been wondering what Trump gave the Chinese in exchange for that cringeworthy credit as the supposed savior of TikTok.

I think you have forums confused with microblogs.

I presume I’m supposed to care, but I dont, and I don’t know why anyone would.

With all due respect, fuck the normies. The fediverse is better off without them.

No - it’s 27 times bigger.

A yard is 3 times bigger than a foot so a cubic yard is 3³ (3 cubed) times bigger.

I take “cannot be compared” to be a sort of shorthand claim - they aren’t actually asserting that the two things literally cannot be compared at all, but that they cannot be compared meaningfully or relevantly.

No - piracy, since it always carries at least some amount of difficulty and risk, is easy to compete against. And in fact, paid services, including Netflix, have proven that over and over. All it takes is to offer dependable convenience and quality and to treat customers well. People are always willing to pay a reasonable price for that.

The problem is that piracy becomes difficult to compete against when, as Netflix is currently doing, you shift from a business model of providing good service under fair terms for a reasonable price to a business model of providing crappy service under onerous terms for too much money, because the greedy, selfish, short-sighted sacks of shit at the top want to make even more obscene amounts of money. That’s the point at which piracy gains enough of an advantage to outweigh its difficulties and risks.

And when that’s the case, it’s pretty obvious what the real problem is.
