@chefsevenn There's no way even a family of four is eating all that before it starts to rot

@scotuallknowing @jondelarroz There's no way this is a serious question.

@jondelarroz Who owns rights to the Odyssey?
English

Emily Wilson's woke translation of The Odyssey is sitting at a #1 bestseller.
It's beating all the classic editions like Fagles and Fitzgerald.
This is what the white women are reading and this is why we're getting this crappy movie.
How do we make it stop?

@Revan_Ragnarok @jondelarroz It's not like a handful of things. She went through it line by line and interpreted things in the most woke feminist way possible. So I guess the short answer to your question is: everything.
English

@jondelarroz I am really curious about what she changed from the original texts. I asked before elsewhere but I got crap for even asking this question.
English

@AndrewCurley83 @jondelarroz Such a disingenuous argument. That's obviously not what's being said.

@Geniustechw Really? What law did they break by entering North America? Whose law was it that they broke? Who wrote that law? Where was that law written down? Who was enforcing it?
English

@1980srock @DavidLeavitt I don't think my group has even played a 5e game in over 6 years, let alone 5e24. These days, we all just run and play Kevin Crawford (Sine Nomine) games, and do the occasional side game if Microscope or some fun indie.
English

@DavidLeavitt I think the latest from RPG news is that Wizards of the Woke is that D&D is going to be subscription only.
Not that serious people play that anymore.

@Hania16836 Learn to enjoy her warmness, her voice, her eyes, her smile. The joyful sounds of her voice. How she speaks, and last. Enjoy her personality, her sweet body aroma, that speaks to the woman she are..(She’s a Blessing from God) sex can wait.
English

@Hania16836 Well a woman who'll kiss on the very first date Is usually a hussy
And a woman who'll kiss on the second time out Is anything but fussy
But a woman who waits til the third time around
Head in the clouds
feet on the ground
She's the girl he's glad he's found, she's his Shi-Poo-Pi
English

@EWErickson @RioVeradonir The overblown social media backlash against The Odyssey is already burning out and I predict the backlash to the backlash will lead to a record box office for the film's opening.
English

@Geniustechw The end of the Woke era can either be a page in the history book or a chapter. If you want to make it a chapter, you're going to learn that Trump is a teddy bear compared to who we're willing to elect to stop you.

@BarackObama @jamestalarico @GinaHinojosaTX Democrats are like locusts; they move somewhere, vote blue, ruin it, flee, then keep voting like retards the next place they land. I speak as a New Hampshire resident watching Massholes ruin everything. Texans should do all they can to keep Texas red.
English

It was great joining @JamesTalarico and @GinaHinojosaTX today in Texas. They're working hard to make a difference in the lives of all Texans, and will be able to do even more as your next Senator and Governor.
Let’s get it done, Texas!

@BDouglasPorter @hostis_black @Rothmus It allows users of non-Amazon e-readers to get access to books they normally wouldn't have. In a US that no longer penalizes anti-competitive behavior, services like AA give users choice. Many 'pirates' wind up supporting the author, often for more than the price of the book.
English

@BDouglasPorter @hostis_black @Rothmus Another example of how this is good is that it can help people bypass the practices like "Amazon Exclusives." Rather than use Kindle, a person can just grab a copy off of AA, then donate to the author's Ko-fi or Patreon. It's not as cut and dry as just theft.

The largest open library in human history, Anna's Archive, has been ordered to pay Spotify and the three largest record labels on the world $322 million.
The defendant has not appeared in court and is not going to. The site is still up with two backup domains standing by and there's nothing the censors can do.
Anna's Archive currently holds 63 million books, 95 million academic papers, and 1.1 petabytes of mirrored torrents. It is free. It is searchable. It is run by a pseudonymous person nobody has identified after four long years of searching.
In the four months since the music industry filed the first of three coordinated lawsuits, the library has lost six domain names and added two million books to the catalogue. The cartel is suing it faster every month, and it is growing faster every month.
In December, Spotify and the major labels filed. In January, OCLC, the company that runs WorldCat, won a default judgment of its own. On March 6th, thirteen of the largest book publishers in the United States, including HarperCollins, Penguin Random House, Simon and Schuster, Macmillan, Hachette, Elsevier, Wiley, and McGraw Hill, filed a third lawsuit in the same federal court.
The publishers' complaint runs to seventy-four pages. They call Anna's Archive a "brazen pirate operation." They call it "an illegal supplier of stolen content to the AI industry."
The same publishers are simultaneously suing Anthropic, Meta, OpenAI, and NVIDIA for training their models on the same corpus the publishers want Anna to destroy. The cartel argues, in two parallel federal courts, that the corpus cannot be used by anyone. Not the pirate who built it. Not the AI company that downloaded from it. Not the graduate student who pulls a paywalled paper from it at two in the morning.
Anna did not respond to any of the three complaints. Anna has never responded to any complaint. Anna is a name on a blog and a public key on a server and a person, or maybe several people, in a jurisdiction nobody has identified after four years of searching.
The judgment is uncollectable. The permanent injunction binds Cloudflare, Public Interest Registry, Njalla, the Switch Foundation, Tucows, and nine other named intermediaries. The Greenland registry is not on the list. The Greenland registry has not complied.
The site currently lives at .gl, with .pk and .gd standing by. The corpus has always moved faster than the censor. The censor has always called the corpus piracy. The corpus has always survived the censor by becoming the readers themselves.
The publishers' lawsuit cannot reach the torrents. The torrents are already seeded across continents and IPFS nodes and personal NAS drives owned by people the publishers will never find. The default judgment is paper. The corpus is everywhere.
The cartel will win every lawsuit but they will lose the war. The publisher who walks into court next month with a fresh filing will be filing against a defendant who has, in the time since the last filing was sealed, mirrored another half million books to another seven hundred volunteers in another forty countries.
There is no defendant to find. There is only the next upload. It is already seeding.

@BDouglasPorter @hostis_black @Rothmus Let me explain my situation. I use websites like Anna's Archive to download books I've already purchased. I use a kindle and they recently locked down their encryption HARD. I won't buy a book unless I can back it up to my own server, so I've bought MORE books because of AA.
