Well, that's a good point but I still think there are better services than Twitter/microblogging for that. Like our old friend RSS

Sure, but you can get that with something more long-form, too; it's not exclusive to Twitter/microblogging .

Keeping in mind that I'm just giving personal opinions, I found Discovery to be too... over acted? Maybe that was just how it was written but the end result, for me, was that I was constantly rolling my eyes while watching.

Picard seemed okay but in the end I didn't like the obvious appeals to nostalgia, for me it felt like it leaned too heavily on it instead of trying to stand on its own as a good show.

I have no idea if my experiences align with the broader community or not, but I found myself forcing myself to watch each respective show so I didn't bother watching when a new season came out.

Please don't take my comment as anything but me sharing my experiences with someone else who is a fan of the franchise.

SNW I'm totally on board for, though. And I was hesitant about Lower Decks at first but it's really a good show, imo. It's so good that it has me questioning my decision to ignore The Orville for being too silly.

I would argue that the format incentivizes short quips and discussions lacking nuance in favor of brevity, and yes, therefore it's "bad" (to use their term) to use Twitter even if musk wasn't turning it into Truth Social.

Well, arguably the microblogging format does have some intrinsic disadvantages.

I have a golden doodle and he will destroy almost any toy in a few minutes. The only exception is those solid rubbery dog toys, which take him several hours to start chipping away at.

They're probably fine but if you are really concerned, call a local veterinarian office and ask.

Well, maybe free time doesn't happen in the first year, but I was a nuke; quals weren't all that bad from what I remember.

There might be a choking hazard depending on how they break up? A vet would be able to tell you more definitely.

What's wrong with writing poetry on an aircraft carrier? I can't speak to being on an aircraft carrier, but on a submarine you are not in war mode 24/7; there's time to do ordinary things. (usually).

Let me guess: Tommy here hasn't ever served in the military, right? All he knows about it is from movies?

PSA standard ("real") tennis balls are bad for dogs, especially their teeth.. https://sierraveterinary.com/2022/03/29/the-dangers-of-tennis-balls/

Are you speaking legally or morally when you say someone "aught" to do something?

You most certainly can. The discussion about whether copyright applies to the output is nuanced but certainly valid, and notably separate from whether copyright allows copyright holders to restrict who or what gets trained on their work after it's released for general consumption.

The article is literally about someone suing to prevent their art from being used for training. That's the topic at hand.

Are you confused, or are you trying to shoehorn a different but related discussion into this one?

I was under the impression we were talking about using copyright to prevent a work from being used to train a generative model. There's nothing in copyright that says anything about training anything. I'm not even convinced there should be.

There's nothing in copyright law that covers this scenario, so anyone that says it's "absolutely" one way or the other is telling you an opinion, not a fact.

In that case, I agree. There's no sane reason for weed to be illegal in a country where alcohol is not.

What does this mean? Like, a 10 year old can walk into a grocery store and buy a tomato. Is that what you mean? Or did you mean legalize it like alcohol?

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty confident that you can't use something with a lower standard of proof as evidence in a trial that requires a higher standard of proof. Civil cases only need to be proven by the standard "a preponderance of evidence", whereas criminal trials are required to proven "beyond a reasonable doubt".

It's probably okay in the other direction, though.

Well feel free to drop a DM to me directly when you get it up and running and I'll give it a look, for sure.

I would probably watch a youtube channel that focused more on how to improvise in cooking than how to follow a recipe, along with pointing out various useful techniques and pitfalls to avoid.

Hell, this might actually already exist. I confess I've never really looked.
