  • Internet Archive forced to remove 500,000 books after publishers’ court win

    Jump

  • Maybe I'm just seeing potential where there isn't any, but I really think if the people of the Archive could find a way to get their stuff stored in TUL, or perhaps build a Library of their own, the publishers couldn't go after them then, because to the outside observer, all they see is a buncha dudes playing Minecraft.

  • There's a Minecraft server that has books and articles stored. it's called The Uncensored Library, (visit.uncensoredlibrary.com), and they have various articles and books that are free to view. The Uncensored Library was created by Reporters Without Borders. If I were the people of the Internet Archive, I'd be talking to the folks in the RSF about porting some of their content to this virtual library.

  • DeSantis ‘freedom fund’ Pac targets abortion and marijuana ballot initiatives

    Jump

  • Same with "War on Drugs" or "War on Terror". I would like to congratulate both Drugs and Terror for their victories. I bet if they declared a War on Housing the homeless population in the US would plummet.

  • Elon Musk comes out onto a stage and announces that Tesla is entering the game console market when?

  • Thousands gather at White House for pro-Palestinian protest

    Jump

  • They live in a huge gated neighborhood a few miles outside of DC, I believe. Personally I'd stage a protest at the place they all send their kids to school, The Sidwell Friends School, I believe it's called.

  • Scientists Find Plastic-Eating Fungus Feasting on Great Pacific Garbage Patch

    Jump

  • Well, given what we know about most commercial plastics, which are all derived from oil/complex hydrocarbons, the consumed plastic could be broken down into condensed carbon? Or would it be carbon gases? I'm speculating based on just what I know about plastics, what they are and how they're made.

  • Claudia Sheinbaum, the first female president of Mexico

    Jump

  • Mexico also banned slavery before the US did. That's why Texas split from Mexico, became its own country, then asked the US for help, which the US granted. As their way of saying thanks, Texas applied for Statehood. Then when we started thinking that maybe owning people was wrong, Texas was all "Now, wait a minute! The whole reason we started hanging out with you guys in the first place was because you said owning people was cool!"

  • Trump supporters call for riots and violent retribution after verdict

    Jump

  • They want their perceived enemies to make the first move. They might be calling for violence, but many of them are cowards and also love to play victim and win the sympathy Olympics.

  • Charles Littejohn - American Whistleblower

    Jump

  • And Judge Ana Reyes was pissed that 5 years was the maximum sentence permitted under law. But, when you consider that now he's a felon, that record will be stuck with him long after he is released from prison. But that's why his appeal is so important. Because if his conviction is overturned, then he doesn't have a felon record

  • ‘A catastrophe’: Greenpeace blocks planting of ‘lifesaving’ Golden Rice

    Jump

  • They might be talking about waste that radiology departments produce, but that's a drop in the bucket compared to the waste generated by the energy sector.

  • ‘A catastrophe’: Greenpeace blocks planting of ‘lifesaving’ Golden Rice

    Jump

  • Bullshit we don't have the storage. Fucking NIMBYs. 80% of our planet is covered in water, and at its deepest point there is no life. And the waste absolutely can be reused. Think, Draeron, think. Why is nuclear waste dangerous? It's dangerous because it still contains usable energy. It's still fissile. It's only "waste" because the reactor it came out of cannot fission it any further. So we put it into a newer reactor that can. And we keep using it until it's rendered inert.

  • Imagine that we actually do colonize Mars. The first colonists are likely going to eat GMOs, because the only alternative is red sand.

  • Kyle Rittenhouse Tells Native Americans They Can ‘Leave’ If They Hate America

    Jump

  • Exactly. They did this because they know it riles up the left.

  • The Internet Archive is under a DDoS attack

    Jump

  • Exactly. We're allowed to know based on what we can afford to know.

  • My guy, Google pays Reddit $60 Million/year for this. $60Million.

    I remember I once got told, years ago that I was stupid for saying "Data is the new Oil" and now look! Do you know what I could do if I had $60Million in my bank right now? And Google isn't the only one! Companies the world over are paying out the nose for user-generated content and business is booming! If I'm an oil well, it's time my oil came with a price tag. I was a Reddit user for YEARS! Almost since the beginning of Reddit! I made some of the training data that Google and others are using! Where's my cut of that $60M?

  • At least Biden allows the protests to happen. Under Trump, the first protest would be the last as he would immediately mobilize the National Guard and authorize the use of lethal force to suppress it.

  • Helium-3: Mining the fuel of the future on the Moon

    Jump

  • Can a solar sail propel an object to relativistic speeds? The whole point of space travel is to go to other planets at a speed fast enough that the people going there will not be dead or elderly by the time they reach their destination. The only way to do that is by achieving light speed or damn near it. I do not want to board a solar sail vessel bound for Proxima Centauri b (4.22ly) and be dust by the time I get there.

  • GOP introduces bill that would send anyone convicted of unlawful activity on a campus since Oct. 7th, 2023 to Gaza.

    Jump

  • My human, you have to know that they submitted this bill knowing full well it hasn't got any chance of being taken seriously on the floor. There's only one reason a lawmaker would even draft a bill like this, and that one reason is to get attention. A shiny bauble to distract us all. Any stage magician can tell you that magic is all about misdirection. If I've got you staring at the card in my left hand, you don't notice the deck in my right hand. So, the thing you should be doing, is asking what they've got hidden up their sleeve.
