What do you miss that's ultimately inconsequential but still deeply personal?
Hudson's department stores. It was an upscale regional chain comparable to Macy's or Marshall Fields. The buildings themselves still mostly exist, but the remaining ones got converted into Macy's years ago.

Why Are Conservatives So Obsessed With Trans Kids?
Reply in thread
No, you really haven't. Nobody is "mutilating" trans kids, and it's because those kids can't give consent.

How hard it is doesn't matter. If you can't compensate people for using their work, or excluding work people don't want users, you just don’t get that data.
There's plenty of stuff in the public domain.

Bitcoin slips below $71,000 as Trump orders U.S. to join Iran in blockade of Strait of Hormuz
Reply in thread

Hard times
I really confused the person monitoring the self checkout on one occasion several years ago.
I paid with cash, and was supposed to get something like $2.17 back in change. The machine gave me the seventeen cents just fine, but instead of two dollar bills, I got a one and a ten.
It took a couple tries to get the worker to understand that the machine gave me too much back.

Kentucky woman sues state over abortion ban so she can terminate her pregnancy
Reply in thread
No, sparky, "terminate her pregnancy" was correct. No child is murdered by an abortion. Claiming otherwise requires profound ignorance of biology and what happens during pregnancy.

It's not using a computer that's the problem. The issue is that generative AI scrapes the entire internet to feed its model without compensating, or even asking, creators for using their work.

Roe was "something on the books", sunshine. Until Trump stacked the Supreme Court there wasn't a need to put anything into law.
