I did not say it was?

A friendly reminder that socialism is not communism. The latter is closer to capitalism as it's just state-owned instead of privately owned. However, socialism and capitalism can coexist, which cannot be said the same about communism.

Same, except I have nothing to spend. Lol

This is why I've been researching and working on FOSS AI systems. My own AI cannot fire me. ;)

Don't worry, soon you'll fell numb hearing informations like this, like some of us already do.

It used to affect me deeply too, until I realised people truly don't care, especially the wealthy ones that have the means to do something about it.

I'm still doing my part trying to follow the principles I believe in, but if you asked me if I'm going to be shouting from the top of my lungs to warn people that we really are getting to the tipping point, I wouldn't.

The tipping point (for me) was already crossed 15 years ago, and if the masses still don't get it, then they'll never get it.

Enjoy life for what it is, following your principles and being true to yourself, but don't let it bring you down, unless you want to turn into a grouchy old lady, or a man, yelling at clouds.

Hydrogen is less efficient than electricity, and takes more energy to produce. Unless the process improves significantly, I can understand why it won't be the major source of heat for home use.

You can't pay with it at the till, though.

You absolutely can tell what's happening by reading the source code. They are using a listener and a delay for when ontimeupdate promise is not met, which timeouts the entire connection for 5 full seconds.

A steam deck might be a cheaper alternative.

I would see this comment as silly, if not for the fact they changed the domain from .org to .com

It's all about business now.

Every service that disabled or limited the API has seen an increase in running costs, because people turn to scraping, which costs them more resources overall, and cannot be controlled by the site owners as easily.

Let's be honest, though, hosting text files with a search bar isn't that much expensive to justify a response like this.

It's fine if they want to earn money, but then they should be upfront about it, and not making up stories about fluke running costs. I'd rather see a donation button.

Opensubtitles does not create the subtitles, that's done by the community, which is being monetised and sub authors get nothing out of it.
