If copying is not theft, then we have the rights to copy their software
No we don’t, copying copyrighted material is copyright infringement. Which is illegal. that does not make it theft though.
Oversimplifying the issue makes for an uninformed debate.
copying is not theft
OK, and how does that relate to the option between Trump and Biden? When Trump would obviously be much much worse.
I’m talking actual alternatives, you are talking bullshit fantasies, daydreaming that hopefully the world was a better place.
Your argument may have a place, but not where it comes to the choice between Biden and Trump.
I’m not sure what kind of mindset is required to make such a comment, when Biden has actually tried to moderate Israel, and Trump and his MAGA crowd absolutely don’t give a shit and actively support the genocide, and would support Israel even more.
So please try to explain in some fashion that has a shred of reason, what your thoughts are behind that comment.
Still if the options are between somewhat senile Biden, or raving malignant narcissist Trump, there is no doubt for me who is the better choice.
This is why I as a multi billionaire believe we need to work on plan B on Mars.
I know that won’t help the billions of people left on Earth, but at least they can die peacefully, knowing that the richest people will have a chance.

“There is little evidence to justify the widespread assumption that willing participation in pedophilia hurts children.”
But per the quote in the meme above, you can’t have willing participation, it is always coerced.
And you still don’t provide sources.
I agree, the phrasing is bad, but that doesn’t change that if you read it carefully, the meaning is clear.
There is absolutely no reasonable basis for claiming he is defending pedophiles, when what he does is the direct opposite, by logically proving that a common defense they use is invalid, because you can never claim to know participation is voluntary. It is per definition coerced.
VW doesn’t own a single one of the other brands on that list.
Why? When he can win with arguments like “She’s so nasty” and “Just words, those are just words”
Debating Hillary, Trump was most of the time completely unable to construct a reasonable come back. He will just throw everybody off with something completely idiotic.
It is rather like trying to play chess with a pigeon — it knocks the pieces over, craps on the board, and flies back to its flock to claim victory.

I’m not even sure what a winning strategy against that looks like, when about half the voters think that’s just fine.
Land of the free and freedom of speech are such hollow terms when Americans say them.
Fascism has a very strong foothold in half of USA.
Everytime someone calls their system a Linux based OS and not GNU/Linux based OS downplays the work he put in.
Absolutely, and the fact that people didn’t adopt it creates confusion, some people claim Android is also Linux, which you can argue, but it’s definitely NOT GNU/Linux, and it’s definitely NOT a free desktop OS as defined by freedesktop.org either. There’s a huge difference.
Especially since Android generally means Android with Google apps, and not AOSP. AOSP is open source, but Android with Google apps is not.
And what’s your point with posting this? My guess is that you don’t even understand it.
He is saying there is no such thing as willing participation from a child in pedophilia. Are you saying there is?
I can’t remember having seen them debating each other, either in person or otherwise. But their positions are well known. Linus chose the GPL license from an engineering/pragmatic viewpoint, while Stallman is an idealist.
Apparently they are quite friendly:

You are a moron, VC does not stand for one thing, and you haven’t either denied nor confirmed what you meant. This makes you an actual troll in this context.
I have hereby blocked you.
Bragging how you didn’t read something is also ill-favoured here.
WTF? Your shitty link to some private blog doesn’t work, but apparently you can’t make a proper response to the above.
I just mention I couldn’t read it for completeness on my side.
VC is not a tech term, you are being lazy and apparently don’t care about ambiguities in what you write.
And unless it means something different here than I guessed, your point was irrelevant. Venture capitalists are irrelevant to the boom of AI.
You also don’t explain how actual demand can be a bubble.
The link you provide above stalls, so IDK what that is about.
I don’t agree that AI is just a marketing term, although it probably is used in that way by many, it is not when it comes to Nvidia, who has the by far most popular hardware to drive AI software. And Nvidia is already making a lot of money on selling hardware for AI, and even lower tier suppliers claim the demand is crazy for AI hardware.
VCs will get sick of setting money
Do you mean venture capitalists? It’s very annoying to have to guess the meaning of a 2 letter acronym. For Christ sake how many meaning do you think VC has?
What special contact do industry peons have with venture capitalists? That doesn’t make any sense. Also I don’t believe this is driven by venture capitalists at all.
All the biggest companies like Microsoft, Google, Facebook etc are making huge investments in their own implementations, implementations that cannot even be finished this year because of supply shortages. This is not about upstarts, but all the biggest existing companies investing huge amounts of money. Upstarts funded by Venture capitalists are not even a blip on the radar.
So saying 3 quarters is absolute bullocks, that doesn’t even cover NVIDIA’s back orders!
this is a bubble fueled entirely by investors,
Nope, there is actual crazy demand. But how crazy in the longer run remains to be seen.
I agree this increase is insane and without parallel AFAIK. It seems to be too good to be true, and normally that means it actually is too good to be true.
It’s also hard to believe that Nvidia will be allowed to stay ahead in a market with such profit potential.
But for 8 years they’ve not only kept their market advantage and profit margins. They’ve actually managed to increase both.
I thought Nvidia was crazy when they made chips that yielded only one per wafer, I thought AMD would beat them with more agile chips at a fraction the price.
So the question is when you call this a bubble, do you mean demand for compute will stop increasing as much as it is? Do you think AI will flop?
In some ways I think AI already flopped somewhat from the initial hype of ChatGPT. But I do not think that will stop the race among companies to implement AI to keep up or stay ahead og the competition. It seems like AI is like a weapons race, and I bet it will go on for at least 5 years. Then if it turns out not to be the advantage companies hoped for, it will obviously slow down.
But I think Nvidia has a few years of good running ahead of them yet.
Just because you are still voting Biden, doesn’t mean you don’t care.
It just means you still don’t want the raving malignant narcissist Trump.
Any somewhat normal person would be the obvious choice over Trump. Any person who is not clearly a traitor to USA and Democracy would be preferable to Trump.
