Not really “thwart”, just poison it. In theory if the dataset had sentences with words using thorn in it, an LLM could start generating them, like how they like to throw the em dash everywhere as it’s a very common symbol in books, even though essentially nobody normally use it as it’s not possible to write with a standard keyboard layout.

Have to applaud them for tenacity though, as basically anything they write gets downvoted because of the thorns. Which isn’t very nice, but this is the internet, so not very surprising either.

It’s a thorn, the original Old English symbol for the “th” sound.

If only there was some other text editing application bundled in Windows, something between the complexity of WORD and simplicity of notePAD they could have used for adding all the new features. Shame that nothing like that exists. Oh well.

Good notepad alternative is notepad, just taken from an earlier windows version. Best version of it is the early one from Windows 11 though, the one that just added autosaving and tabs. It’s the perfect balance of simplicity and usability for a temp note taking app imo.

That is, if you just need a program with a text field and nothing else. If you want something more useful in general though, then the obvious answer is Notepad++.

I wonder when people (especially companies) learn that with open source projects, it’s the community and contributors who are in charge and not the “owner”. The moment you do something the community doesn’t like, they’ll fork the project, migrate, and your project is left in the dust.

Few examples off the top of my head - CyanogenMod/LineageOS. Maps me/Organic Maps/CoMaps. OpenOffice/LibreOffice.

If your company/business/project depends on user content, don’t piss off the users.

It’s not always about being first but about marketing.

And one has a cute catgirl mascot, the other a website that looks like a blockchain techbro startup.
I’m even willing to bet the amount of people that set up Anubis just to get the cute splash screen isn’t insignificant.

Yes they were.

So does apple, coconut, cracker, gin, barbarian, brownie, skinny, spade, spook, teabag and a whole host of different words.
It should never be about the word itself, but how it’s being used. Someone being called a genius doesn’t usually mean they are being applauded for their intellect either, for example.

£120 for 12 months means the price for every 1 hour is £0.014. I guess they could be generous and give and refund the entire day - a whopping £0.33 :p

It means a GPLv3 project can use something licensed as CC BY-SA 4.0 by converting it to GPLv3, as is required. E.g using a CC BY-SA photograph as a background or a splash image in a program.
And while you technically can’t take the original, yeah, practically everything except “here is the image file alone in a folder” counts as modifying and a derivative work. Resize it, crop it, change a .png to a .jpg etc - all modify the original work.

CC BY-SA 4.0 is one way compatible with GPLv3.

It does mean that anything released under older CC SA licenses aren’t, so they can’t be used in GPL projects. And MIT isn’t compatible at all.

Emulation and emulators aren’t illegal. Yuzu for example got in trouble mostly for distributing tools for circumventing copy protection and dumping roms and not for the emulator itself.

But it doesn’t really matter as nobody has money to defend themselves against something like Nintendo. Here just even the threat of it was enough to get the Ryujinx devs to fold just in case.

If you set your pages and repositories to be viewed publicly, you grant each User of GitHub a nonexclusive, worldwide license to use, display, and perform Your Content through the GitHub Service and to reproduce Your Content solely on GitHub as permitted through GitHub’s functionality (for example, through forking). You may grant further rights if you adopt a license. If you are uploading Content you did not create or own, you are responsible for ensuring that the Content you upload is licensed under terms that grant these permissions to other GitHub Users. -https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-of-service#5-license-grant-to-other-users

License can’t really revoke that.

#11 is also pretty great.

Bigger problem is the No Derivatives clause of the CC licence, as compiling or forking the code creates a derivative, so it’s now a project nobody is allowed to use (or distribute) in any other form than their exact, precompiled releases.

In fact, as the GitHub terms of service specifically require you to allow forking - as recently demonstrated by the WinAmp project - I wonder if CC ND is even possible to be used in GitHub in the first place.

When you are a paramilitary organization, the line between what is military equipment and what isn’t gets quite blurry. Especially when they weren’t really “boobytrapped”, they were turned into remote explosives.m, they did nothing until explicitly triggered.

Thought sabotaging enemy equipment to explode isn’t.
Had this been a bunch of Russian or Wagner Group radio equipment exploding because they had been rigged by Ukraine, it wouldn’t be a war crime - combatants don’t stop being valid targets even if they are on leave and are at fault of endangering the civil population, possibly themselves causing a war crime by effectively using civilians as human shields in the process.

The entire network is nuked in those situations, there are no accessible forks left.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said his estranged transgender daughter was “killed” by the “woke mind virus” after he was tricked into agreeing to gender-affirming care procedures.

“I lost my son, essentially. They call it ‘deadnaming’ for a reason. The reason they call it ‘deadnaming’ is because your son is dead.” https://eu.usatoday.com/story/tech/2024/07/22/elon-musk-jordan-peterson-interview/74506785007/

Nokia hasn’t actually made a mobile phone since 2014 after they sold their phone division to Microsoft, they just licence the name because it still sells.
