They were purchased by Monotype, a global font monopoly, and the whole “buy all competition, send prices into the stratosphere, then sue whoever can’t pay the extortion or change their fonts” is Monotype’s entire M.O. Every country on the planet should be breaking them into a hundred pieces and locking up their executives for the rest of their lives.
What is happening to RAM now is what happened to the housing market a few decades ago. It is unlikely it will ever recover because Capitalism demands that whatever makes the most profit, no matter how harmful or unethical, is what must be done.
If you can’t count at least ten unique users being misogynist bitches in the comments here, then you are currently part of the problem. That’s before we even get into the dozens of upvotes, as @Vespair@lemmy.zip already pointed out.
All of those names have been added to the Menu. Anyone who violates the freedom, liberty, or fundamental rights of others have given up all of their own, and we, the People, will come to collect.
I have generally enjoyed this community, but this comment section is bursting at the seams with the misogynist bitch types in cell #3. So quite a few people have earned the Misogynist Bitch label from me, and some of those had high upvote scores from me. I’m very disappointed in many of you and I hope you all try do better and be better in the future.
Is he even a little bit leftist or is he another two-faced, neoliberal Democrat that will push the populace even further right when he inevitably screws them over?
No, and I would even say that something like couldn’t exist, at least as a single volume. You would need a collection like the 1980s Encyclopedia Britannica. Further, if you want a scholarly approach you need to start with Judaism. Most temples offer classes and they are sometimes free for those meaning to convert. I don’t know of anything remotely equivalent for Christianity, since Judaism is a lot more honest about their scripture academically while modern Christianity almost always works backwards from their own assumptions.
Short of taking classes on regional history, reading books on history, and learning Hebrew, Koine, and maybe Aramaic, it’s difficult to parse. I can explain something in plain english to someone, the background, the context, the translation directly from Koine or Hebrew, and they will still tell me to my face I’m only reinforcing their own wrongness. It’s a losing proposition.
I do hate that AI has become a catchall for “generative AI.”
“Does this game contain AI?”Well, I hope so, or it wouldn’t be much of a game.
But “slop generator” wouldn’t be as effective at pumping up that economy-destroying bubble, so the tech bros have financial reasons for not using honest terminology.
Only six of them deserve to be replaced, but they should also spend the rest of their lives in prison.
