Only American exeptionalism will teach you the rest of the world is supposedly as least as bad as the US is.

We only allow people from Toronto to buy ceramic pots due to the reason

That sounds like it has nothing to do with adhd but as you admitted in your other replies you were just behaving like an asshole

That’s the title, yes

No, Valve is privately owned. That means the company does whatever the owners want it to do. Unlike public companies which can be sued by their own shareholders of they don’t pursue profits hard enough.

That’s not to say we should blindly idolize a billionaire, but he and in turn Valve can in fact do things that are friendly to consumers.

I’ve been sending these SpongeBobs to my friends and lighting up their days, thank you for making them 🙏

Implying Greece is not European

Ok boomer

For a moment I was confused because why would the European Space Agency have a problem with Minecraft?

French speaking and French nationality

This is false.

They don’t

Why not just run the recordings through Shazam and note down the track ids from there?

8000 people used to high salaries and probably living in or around silicon valley with insane cost of living. I don’t have high hopes for them switching to working on fediverse projects…

This was not a physics experiment, this was an art project.

No, not really. But I’m also lost as to what you mean.

I think the main counter argument to this is a practical one. Microsoft, Google, Amazon, all these greedy corporations have contributed to many open source projects and initiatives. Google has a strong influence in defining web standards, should we ditch web browsing? Amazon and even Microsoft have contributed to Linux either trough donations or direct contributions, both in the kernel and in foundational software that runs on top of it. Should we ditch using Linux servers?

What shows is that while money can corrupt it is not an inevitability. So instead of ditching Blender because Anthropic donates to it I’d suggest ditching Blender only if and when they start rolling out vendor-locked Antrophoc AI integrations rather than take a dogmatic ai company = bad stance.

Blender is great software that makes 3d modeling accessible to a lot more people. Why would you need an alternative because Anthropic donates money to it?
