_Parfait_on Microsoft introduces AI meddling to your files with Copilot in OneDrive

You have to prove, legally, that it harms the consumer. Good luck with that.

_Parfait_on TSMC Arizona chip plant will be a paperweight

Why the need to shoehorn "capitalist" in everything these days?

You're essentially just asking them to destroy the company and each of those products. I'm really not sure how you're going to go about this when all of these operate within the walled garden. I mean it 100% won't happen, but further I don't see how this would benefit the consumer in any way.

_Parfait_on The Collapse of the EV SPACs: Another One Goes Bankrupt, Others on the Verge

I'm not gonna waste my time arguing company financial statements with someone who doesn't know the difference between gross and net profit. You can have the last word. Have a nice day buddy.

I'm so tired of the "I was actually making a semantic argument" thing people do to cover their ass. It's so lame.

As much as I'd like to have the rug pulled from underneath me in 2 years after investing a ton of resources, no thanks.

_Parfait_on Arc Browser 1.0

So the feature you want is to hide bookmarks, because you can just put as many as you want under one folder. The bookmarks exist and you're making it sound like they dont.

_Parfait_on Arc Browser 1.0

Yes, you can make folders and put the tabs in there. Those will now function like bookmarks.

_Parfait_on Why did Meta open-source Llama 2?

The big boys, MS & Big G

_Parfait_on Why did Meta open-source Llama 2?

Basically under the actual terms of what open source is there can be no limits to particular users. Meta, in order to protect their competitive market share has said explicitly in Paragraph Two of their licensing terms

--- " If, on the Llama 2 version release date, the monthly active users of the products or services made available by or for Licensee, or Licensee’s affiliates, is greater than 700 million monthly active users in the preceding calendar month, you must request a license from Meta, which Meta may grant to you in its sole discretion. --

Doing so, technically, takes the license out of the category of “Open Source.”

You seem emotional about these facts. I'll let you get on with your day.

I'm gonna let you have the last word here.

So i should be require to entire my payment information and verify an email to cancel a service? Are you mad? I click the red cancel button, it says "Are you sure" and boom I'm cancelled. That's how everyone else on the planet wants it.

_Parfait_on 50 years ago, teenagers partied in the Bronx – and gave rise to hip-hop

Agreed

_Parfait_on 50 years ago, teenagers partied in the Bronx – and gave rise to hip-hop

Because they can make money making songs about killing people which will get more listeners if you actually do it. I'm not sure why you guys don't get the connection here. If you want to address poverty, histories of gang violence and say that's the root cause sure. Trust me when I tell you this, that music is making those people money and further warping a culture that's already has massive problems. Just take a look at the statistics of youth homocide for black children and the rise of drill music. If there are no corollaries Ill shut up.

_Parfait_on 50 years ago, teenagers partied in the Bronx – and gave rise to hip-hop

I'll be honest.. Being black i genuinely think drill is the worst thing to ever happen in black music. It does in fact lead to violence and retaliation for things said on a song. How would someone even conduct that study. Listen to the music and be a part of the community then you'll understand. You cannot draw any significant conclusion from the comfort of a high rise. That kind of music contributes to a very negative cultural aspect. It celebrates evil, straight up celebrates it.
