Go apply to 30 random jobs, most of which will force you to apply on their company's site, and watch how your spam will go from a trickle to a firehose.

I've always assumed gmail makes money because it's the hub for your google account. It's the identifier that makes everything else work. It doesn't make money directly.

However, I also assume they're responsible for half the spam my gmail account gets...

I think ad plastering is a turn off and has the opposite effect, making people avoid your products like the plague instead of purchase them. Exactly my point and why I think the ad gallery solution is a better alternative. It still needs to be experimented with, though. We have no way of knowing if...

So if it's theft, Tranformative Use can't apply? If it does can it be theft?

Isaac

So you have two tools, when both owned you can solve any problem, but when you can't use one you can use the other: 9mm or duct tape. So if duct tape can't solve this problem, 9mm probably will.

I did my absolute best... But the Woodchip posts are still far more popular than any post I can come up with. I'm not sure him leaving would be healthy for this forum.

I have a Trek Domane AL3. 18 speed. Cost 2000$ plus an extra 1000 for the shoes, pedal, lights etc. My blades were 90mm. The 100+ were to big. I used to have a rare bike around that price (Not going to say which because it would be easy to track to another community forum) and a backup cheaper road...

I'm always nice. And when I correct people it's out of love.

I'm not used to level-headed Ferno. You haven't even insulated me in your reply.

Krom, Ferno's account has been hacked.

Until emoji's are banned, then I'll be too.

When is too much monetization... NEVER! There's no such thing. They don't produce most the content, users typically do, and most are regular people just posting stuff on that website for others to watch. Don't forget about all the copyright-protected content uploaded daily that requires the owners ...

Isaac

The new great problem. How to monetize the internet that was formerly a freedom wild nerd ideal. They're still flailing at it. Looking at cable TV is a great example. We pay through the nose for cable, but still get hosed with advertising. I'm guessing out of an hour of any programing on any networ...

What kind of bike? I've recently been big on road bikes. I even run clipless racing shoes that clip into the pedals (Yeah, they're called clipless). Work in progress, I'm trying to build up my rollerblading skills so that I can skate to work, which sounds like so much fun. I'm running 3x110mm blade....

I just biked to work. Just over 1 hour. 23KM. Yes, it's crazy. In the morning I use the roads as it cuts 2KM off my trek. In the PM, I use the bike path next to the river. It adds an extra 2KM to my ride. On weekends, I tend to do about 60KM mostly on paths but some roads (with bike lane). I live l...

I like how we're two pages in on why the e&c is dead.

I guess the question is, if you were trying to advertise your product, how much would you pay a Website to put your ad in their ad gauntlet? Most ad services like ad-sense require the ads be on every page. You could get your google ad-sense account suspended by running ads in a way they don't expec...

Isaac

They'd have to make that page enticing enough to attract clicks. Not for the ad gauntlet/gallery. Imagine the top right of the page has a "Support us" and when you click you have two choices, to donate cash or to click on he ad gauntlet/gallery. So the user is doing it to support the page...

punch.jpg Do advertisers really like being used like a boxing glove to boink all of us that refuse to pay for yet ANOTHER web service that's hosting their ad? Hosting? I mean punishing users with their ads. I have a limit to how many things I'm willing to pay for that I'll only use once in a while,...

My town is very bike friendly. Lots of bike paths to use to go most places. However, I've noticed that one of our major grocery store parking lots doesn't have a simple sidewalk to enter the entire complex from the northern direction, which is were I come from when walking. Car only. One has to wal...

Isaac

First let me say, thanks for giving me your full answer and I really do appreciate you taking the time to answer. That being said, I do think you're wrong. In United States copyright law, transformative use or transformation is a type of fair use that builds on a copyrighted work in a different mann...

Isaac

Yeah, I was going to say, remember those old cheat codes in games, like the konami code? Vander's Windows setup guide reminds me of that. "Bruh, when you start press ↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A START and you get infinite logins, bruh!!!!"

carsvspeople.jpg My wife and I bought a house not too long ago, and we had two different mindsets: She wanted the biggest house possible while I wanted an area connected to the main walking trails so that we had easy access to stores and the ability to commute to our jobs by bike.

Recall has already been hacked, of course. :roll: <video> So the hacking was just the user being able to access recall without an api. Not really malicious... Should be totally allowed especially if they're using sql. Microsoft reacts by saying they need extra "layers of data protection"....

Yeah, just when you thought windows 11 defaults were already so bad they should be criminal, microsoft goes "hold my beer!" and announced recall. They act like they have addressed the issue by not having it on by default. What they'll end up doing is probably copying Apple's full integrat...

CoPilot and Recall. It's almost like MS wants everyone to hate them and live with it. Screw the users, we own your computers now, bwuaaaahaaaahaaaahaaaa! They tried to shove CoPilot into Win 10 a couple of updates ago. I said WTF and promptly threw it in jail in a Group Policy edit. Recall will be ...

Top fun, I don't think you can be counted out of the dystopian hellscape. Also, I don't think you've answered my question in my previous post: "The question is if I took an artists entire gallery to train a Stable Diffusion model, would my output, which wouldn't match any photo in the artist's ...

Are you saying something that's transformative use can also be theft? It already is in some countries that don't recognize "fair use" as a legally-protected status. In fact, I was just reading about such a case earlier today. And I'm not saying that I agree with this prosecution, quite th...

Is style of art something that can be copyrighted? Is there anything stopping me from making art in Samdoesart's style (other than an obvious lack of skill and ability)? Top Gun would say theft has occurred and thus a violation of copyright. IMG_0021.jpeg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sq1QZB5baNw

... if you copy even a single line of GPL'd code into your project, then your project is derived from that project, and now you are obligated to GPL your project as well. I love this argument. I didn't even think of that. Something similar could apply to training images. But really, who is going to...

I haven't done a poll in a while so let's see if it actually works. I'm curious to see what you pick. I know I can add more options because each choice is pretty well defined and I could have even more reasoning/scenarios in new choices, but if you don't agree with one you selected, pick the best on...
