Still, Steam probably has some clause in their developer agreement where they say that's not on them.

Also, they have to move off the road if space permits to let piled up traffic overtake, at least in Austria.

30 mph is almost 50 km/h. In most of Europe the default maximum speed limit inside of populated areas is 50 km/h.

Default meaning artillery roads like this one can and almost always do have higher limits than 50, but the defsult maximum suddenly becoming the minimum makes no sense.

A road that isn't physically barricaded from foot trafic akin to a highway has no reason to have a minimum speed limit over 15 mph (30 km/h), if at all.

Sorry to hijack your comment, but seeing that "my grandchildren are in my daughters' ovaries post" right above this one and your comment made me wonder:

Why is gas so damn cheap in the US while saying "healthcare is expensive" is a giant understatement.

Compared with Europe, where gas prices are regulated (and gas stations still seem to be doing just fine to the point that new ones keep popping up around where I live at an astounding rate) while it's the healthcare that is subsidised and made availiable to all.

How come? Why aren't gas companies in the US be as greedy as hospitals and pharma there? Why aren't European gas stations few and far between, continuing to barely hold on, fail and ultimately closeleaving Europe gasless?

Even its name is ~~full of shit.~~ a hallucination

There, fixed it for you.

For some reason I'm not surprised about Facebook being explicitly boomer-centric

Not really. Showing ads and gobbling up data is Google Search's core functionality, and JS is indispensible for that.

If anyone deserves copyright over a photo, it's the people that had their work photographed without permission. Then, the most deserving of the copyright are the camera and film manufacturers that made photography possible.

I think this is an angle that isn't pften taken. The advent of photography was a very similar situation to the current advent of AI.

However, there are some crucial differences. For example, a photo can realistically be taken for personal use, which is either protected by law, or at least tolerated. AI, on the other hand, doesn't have this going for it (you wouldn't really go to the trouble of training an AI model for personal use). Even if the model and everything else is fully transparent and open source, it's still gobbling up copyrighted data for commercial purposes - the model's authors or the users'. Luckily, there is no AI fair use carveout (and I hope there won't ever be one).

Another thing I'd like to point out: in the vast majority of european legal systems copyright isn't called "Copyright", but "Authors' rights", i.e. its primary purpose isn't to restrict copying as much as it's protect the interests of the author (not publisher/corporation, although this unfortunately got bastardised a while ago).

I can only hope the EU takes a reasonable approach to AI (that is, ban it from gobbling copyrighted work, require current "tainted" models be purged along with corporations paying reparations to the authors, as well as banning EULA clauses along the lines of "by signing up we get to feed all your information into the AI").

By my first comment I was trying to point out the fact that the "time invested" argument isn't that strong. That doesn't mean there aren't better arguments or that I don't agree with the general idea, just that we need better arguments if we want to win this fight.

A game you paid for. On a console you also paid for. And you also pay for PS Plus as well.

While some just snap a photo. And both are equally copyrightable

Depending on which country you live in and who (or better: what) you are - if you're a McD McEmployee, you'll might personally feel the McWrath for filing the complaint - not just having the weight of theorethical jobs lost on your soul.

Right. If they take an hour for being a minute late, they should also give one for being a minute early.
