    The EU has already taken care of it.

    The Court of Justice of the European Union found that acopyright owner exhausts the right of distribution to a copy of a computerprogram once he sells, or authorizes the sale of, the copy. This means that whoever purchased thecomputer program can resell it and the copyright holder cannot control theresale of the copy. The Court found thatthis exhaustion principle applies whether the copy is on a tangible medium likea CD-ROM or DVD or an intangible download from the Internet, and it alsoapplies to corrected and updated programs that the copyright owner sells. Furthermore, the Court made clear that contractclauses that deny the customer the right to transfer his copy of the computerprogram are void.

  • The best method I've found for using it is to help you with languages you may have lost familiarity in and to walk it through what you need step by step. This lets you evaluate it's reasoning. When it gets stuck in a loop:

    Try A!Actually A doesn't work because that method doesn't exist.Oh sorry Try B!Yeah B doesn't work either.You're right, so sorry about that, Try A!Yeah.. we just did this.

    at that point it's time to just close it down and try another AI.

  • A quick look of CBCs archive for 'tenant' shows at least 4 tenant positive stories in the last month. This article sounds like nonsense.

  • The best part is the mods who don't remove posts where people celebrate someone being killed, or suggest someone be killed because they disagree with them. The unfiltered bigotry is really the second best part of the fediverse /s

  • Yeah, romanizing Asian names is done poorly to be honest. I saw it a lot in Korea. They had this 'official' system that they followed, but to be honest it mostly caused more issues. The common joke at the olympics was the Korean guy named suk, but it was pronounced more like sock than suck. and if they'd just spelled it like that , it would eliminate those jokes entirely. Spelling it pawn or pon would eliminate that connotation completely.

  • It's a very common part of Thai names. Not sure what the origin is, but you see it all over the place.

  • Half the time in these stories it comes out the parents/relatives/friends happen to actually be experts in the field and work at some high level place where the teens in question just happened to have access to cutting edge resources and 'guidance'.

  • There had been one other documented proof of the theorem using trigonometry by mathematician Jason Zimba in 2009

    No it doesn't.

  • Why? This is one of the few movies I've turned off because it was so bad.

  • Years ago, probably.. 2006 or 2007, Microsoft had some kind of deal online where you could get Age of Empires 3 for 99 cents, it wasn't that old at the time. Bought it on my hotmail back in the day, but lost that when Microsoft decided they desperately needed to wipe e-mails for people.

  • Yeah, they claim it's because of 'local distributors' to that region not giving them the subtitles, but I know, for example, that Korean movies are 99.5% always released on DVD, even in Korea with English subtitles. Yet in Korea, half the Korean content wouldn't have English subtitles, yet in other markets it did. Ironic that my spouse and I find it easier to consume Korean content outside of Korea than inside Korea.

    You see this on youtube as well. Inside Korea a lot of movies are available through youtube with Korean subtitles embedded on them. They're cheap too, Often you can get new movies for under $5 (purchased, not rented), older ones can often be around $1. Same movie in another country, no subtitle, or certainly not Korean subtitles. Youtube has native subtitle support and they don't use it. At least we can VPN into Korean youtube and purchase things.

    Amazon is bad for it. If you go into a show and look at the subtitles some of them are clickable. Meaning it searches by that subtitle language to show you more content that has that language as a subtitle. Problem is their subtitles are regional and they don't filter based on region. So when you search for Korean you might get 100 results with less than 30% actually having Korean subtitles. But they return the result because they have Korean subtitles in another region. My guess is in the US or Japan as Korea does not have it's own Amazon region since they don't operate there.

    Disney plays its own games. Extraordinary season 2 is missing most of the Asian subtitles that were available for season 1. So we can't pick that up even though we enjoyed season 1.

    Being a multicultural family and trying to consume content legitimately is exhausting to be honest.

  • I don't think they know what that word means.

  • The worst part is when they geo-block accessibility. Netflix likes to make subtitles regional. In their mind no one ever moves to another part of the world to a country where they aren't 100% fluent in the language. Doesn't happen. I'm assuming their execs don't hire any staff in their mansions that aren't completely bilingual. You compare this to something like Disney and Apple who have a subtitle list a mile long on every show, Netflix will just heavily region restrict and even restrict subtitle availability by profile language. Lived in Korea, on my english profile Korean subtitles were available. A month after moving to an English speaking country, Korean subtitles disappeared from my profile (on the android TV app, they're still there in Desktop view, sometimes). A korean profile on the same android TV app? Korean is a choice. Their android TV app just cuts off several subtitle options for no reason.

  • It would be if I'd never seen you before, but given how many times I've run across you, it's pretty spot on.

  • I notice that you didn't accuse the person who claimed he fired in self defence of having psychic powers. Maybe if your bias was so blatant I wouldn't take everything you said as a giant trolling joke.

  • That doesn't appear to be a patch. Unless the prison comes with 24 hour massage and blow job service, very few criminals are ever going to want to go to jail. There is no fixing that. Maybe instead of trying to defend someone who would rather shoot at cops than face his illegal actions you could spend that effort teaching people like that not to be like that.

  • Clearly you already live in a fantasy world if you think a criminal illegally possessing a weapon simply shot out of 'self defence' when faced with returning to jail. No one was running up on him when he shot. They were backing off, clear as day in the video. The mental gymnastics people will go through to defend violent criminals is absolutely sad.
