MSI 4GB version of GTX970. Upgraded a few years ago to an RX6800 and I’m stoked about both GPUs tbh

A better question then would be “what percentage of people doesn’t conform to your ethnonationalist idea of local”.

More like scrotum master, LMAO GOTTEM

The almost-circle thingy is one side, which is touching the two straight lines, which are joined by another circular segment at the rightmost part. That makes four sides.

I’m more of a charmander guy

Gay thumbnail. Nice.

We’re already there, there’s no need for this hypothetical. We’ve reached the point where we have trademarked plants, and natural cross-pollination with neighbouring fields has led to fines to farmers because they’re technically growing someone else’s intellectual property plant.

Vaccines and drugs whose research is paid for with public funds are copyrighted and poorer nations are forbidden from obtaining them at reasonable prices.

Vanguard technologies like FPGAs are seeing a rise in later years not because the concept is new, but because 40-year-old key patents of the technology started to expire and this allowed third parties to improve on the technology, and increase its availability and affordability.

Time and time again, software and hardware designed and published with open source but licensed copyright (or copyleft) are blatantly copied and modified without permission by big tech, without any credit or compensation to the original author, in complete violation of the license terms, and nothing ever happens because they have better lawyers than the small open source people.

AI models are unlawfully trained illegally with immense amounts of copyrighted material, and then substitute artists with real understanding of the art.

No need to make up hypotheticals for a society in which this already happens

Nah, that’s a fucking euphemism, we need a better word to describe it

No. Al-Jazeera published a report that the electronic devices that exploded had high explosives embedded, and I’m not in a target country

They absolutely don’t both solve the problem, plenty of homeless people in the capitalist world compared to the 0 people in former USSR

Insane that we allow for the privatisation of wavelengths.

"NO!! ONLY I CAN MOVE ELECTRONS AT THIS FREQUENCY, I PAID FOR IT, RWAAAAHHH!!

Probably depends on the country, I’m pretty sure here in Spain you can donate books to libraries, and I highly doubt they go to the publisher and call them to ask “hey, want any good ol’ buckaroos?”
