Trying to get up to speed here, was there a niji stream where they went over (ie leaked) documents or something?

That's pretty funny, was ordering a smile actually a thing? What happens?
Do I have an article for you: Linux is the only OS to support diagonal PC monitor mode — dev champions the case for 22-degree-rotation computing
You're definite not wrong, I actually went to use "!=" first. But then thought if someone wasn't familiar with programming they might not get it, so I went with the "=/=" hoping it would make sense to more people. Forgot that we're on lemmy and the audience here would generally understand lol. Didn't know ≠ existed though, will probably use that from now on. Nice!
Frankly this catch phrase never made any sense to me, from a logical point of view.
It assumes that:
-
If buying = owning then pirating* = stealing, because you own it without buying.
-
And if buying =/= owning then pirating =/= stealing, because you can't own it otherwise.
But the justification in the second statement is completely irrelevant to the first statement. You still own it without buying. It's still stealing.
UNLESS - we examine what "stealing" is. This is where the arguments about being in a digital space vs. a physical space comes in. Where the question is raised: Is making an exact copy really "stealing"? Or, consider what is being "stolen"? The original item? The idea? We need to think about this more.
But it's here the argument should be made and here the debate should be. That's where "pirates" have a chance of winning. Let's get rid of this flawed, easily repeatable, but fundamentally incorrect catch phrase and come up with a better one already. One that makes sense.
*(Nevermind that most of you technically aren't even pirating, you're just downloading the fruits of someone else that pirated.)
Share your incantations! Here's one of mine: https://www.summarize.tech/. Uses AI to generate summaries of youtube videos. Pretty handy when you see someone reporting on the latest news but they tend to rant and ramble a lot. Turns 20mins into one or two!
Quote from the article confirming your guess:
Hamas claimed the three men as members, calling the operation “a cowardly assassination.”
These are the most comprehensive lists of resources I've ever seen, thank you!
I've thought about using them like that as someone without access to privacy.com, but they do charge an activation fee and other random little fees I didn't want to deal with. So I just... didn't buy whatever it was I was considering at the time lol. Always keeping an eye open to see if there are any alternatives though.
Oh thanks, I just saw that one. A few comments I saw seemed to be alluding to one where they actually showed stuff on screen, but I guess that's a bit too much. Thanks for letting me know.
