While I agree we need more, this may not sound like much to you or me... but a SCOTUS judge saying it basically states he already has made up his mind about where he stands before even taking the case. They are supposed to be impartial at all times

These companies do not make profit in paper but have already made millions for others.

It's all smoke and mirrors

... To the surprise of absolutely nobody

Actually I have a question and I admit knowing nothing of the legal framework here but...

Isn't it absolutely ridiculous that a not-for-profit entity can exists solely for the purpose of developing a closed-source piece of software, demand to train it for free off copyrighted material, just to switch to a for-profit entity??

Sound 100% like tax avoidance. Like me registering a charity so I can throw a mega concert/party privately, secure preferencial treatment on supplies, get discounts on artists or even free performance and then switch to for profit as I start selling tickets

Indeed... I avoided it for years because I bought into the "it's too heavy" narrative.

Then I saw a phoronics benchmark sayin it was actually faster and lighter than lxde if you turn effects off

I tried it then and was blown away, never looked back

And for those who have not tried it, the desktop is fully functional (not some half baked version. My son uses the desktop mode as a full school workstation for internet browsing, email, teams, Google docs, etc

I have to say, Norris kind of spanked Max today.

Norris has been eating away at Max's win but today he started 15 (I think) and Max 6. Norris ended up ahead of Max who only gained a spot after the Checco/Sainz crash.

Unsure how their views are (usually terrible when they give us the inside helmet camera) but throughout the race I could barely see the colours of the cars from the ultra bright glare.

It seems they were going from sun in your face to tunnel dark. These people are super human to drive like that

Indeed, I felt sorry for him. He had earned some good points.

Having said that and even though the Stewards rules nobody was at fault, I believe he had the better chance to avoid this crash

[–] exanime@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Indeed, I think I was more worked up than he was just watching the race from my couch hahahaha

Unpopular opinion here but Ricciardo has to go... almost literally ANYONE coming into F1 has shown to be better that him, even in much lesser cars.

It is time to open the seats for new talent!

 

The FTC uncovered a series of texts between Pioneer Natural Resources CEO Scott Sheffield and OPEC officials agreeing to limit oil production to raise prices.

They raked in huge profits, while their scheme cost consumers $200 billion a year in higher prices.

That’s about $3000 a year per family.
