How is that any different from what media already did.

Most of Disney's original material was European cultural stories.

I agree with you, and also wish the wakeup call had come when the Mouse locked up our culture. (Copyright Act of 1976 Shifted the framework to the life of the author plus 50 years, Or 1998 Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act pushed individual protection to the life of the author plus 70 years)

Maybe now the wakeup call is loud enough to actually wake more people?

You got it

There's a rather large difference in scale for a start.

Indeed. Disney's cultural impact has been far greater.

Actual humans were involved in that process, implying creativity, intent, craftsmanship went into the final work, not just a mechanical process.

Nobody's livelihood was affected by appropriating old folk tales.

This question is in bad faith. There are plenty of obvious differences and the poster knows it.

Reporting bugs _at all_ in Ubuntu has never worked for me.

People still see ads?

Yes. This is where most of Googles and Metas revenue comes from.

Anyone pointed it at the Voynich manuscript?

Thousands. Every day a few AI "solutions" are spammed to the relevant forums

I (and too many others) have left voynich ninja because of it.

I appreciate that AI is helpful, but the low effort from the humans that wield it is very very annoying. If people at least: 1. read the solution they're about to propose and 2. instructed the AI to check the forum for past solutions, I think people wouldn't have been as tired of LLMs.

And at the Noita eyes. No good either.

Word length distribution and complete lack of inter-word predictability (i.e. word n has zero predictive power towards word n+1) seems to indicate it's a hoax.

Of course some people will say that these properties simply don't surive whatever encoding/encryption that was employed, perhaps at least partly because they prefer to believe there's some secret message waiting to be uncovered.

yes.

Does it still need root on Linux? That makes it an instant no go.

For initial installation to the default prefix someone needs to create the home directory and that person is probably root.

We hope to allow all prefixes under 64 bytes in future.

Who remembers turning and object oriented turing from the university of Waterloo?

Like gazing into hell

In 2026, everything we say, see or do on the internet is just another data point for some unscrupulous bastard to seek profit from.

Exactly. Just need to find time to properly read this.

Google already has a product called PhotoScan.

Come on guys!
