So they're adopting a similar structure to OpenAI, a for-profit company majority controlled by a non-profit organization.

Outrage, yes, but what about decreased usage? What's the effect on revenue and stock price? C-suite pay?

In 2020, Marc Benioff, the co-founder and CEO of Salesforce, declared to the New York Times that “it’s time for a new kind of capitalism: stakeholder capitalism, which recognizes that our companies have a responsibility to all our stakeholders”.

And how is our current system not already an extreme version of this???

Have they considered doubling the number of prisons and providing police with tanks?

Title is somewhat misleading. It's not for anything video-related. It's for using a (probably free) photo of actress Cuca Escribano without permission.

Ah yes, two equivalent crimes: CSAM and... um... watching sports without paying

Signal takes steps to reduce the amount of metadata visible, like sealed sender which makes it so that Signal doesn't know who sent a message. Even your payment information for donations is separated from your identity so that they know you are a donor, but not how you donated.

It desn't matter if Signal were hosted on Putin's personal servers. Its security is in its protocol, it's not trust based.

Looking to pick up a self cleaning litterbox but there are a lot of options. The coolest one I've seen by far is the CatGenie Automatic Cat Box, but it's nearly $500 and seems a little overkill.

I've also seen that the PetSafe Litterbox is a very popular choice, but it uses proprietary litter refills and crystal litter when I'd prefer clay litter.

I've been getting away with a $15 do-it-yourself litterbox just fine for a while, but I think I (and my cat) would appreciate something that doesn't require daily maintenance. Something as simple as an automatic rake would be interesting.

My main goals are:

  1. Requires as little maintenance as possible while keeping my cat happy and the smell under control
  2. No proprietary lock-in (I can use my own litter)
  3. Doesn't break the bank
  4. Built well, won't break / easy to fix / good warranty / cheap enough that I can just buy a new one if it breaks

While I am looking for budget friendly options, I'm also curious on the more expensive options. I can't imagine what justifies spending $700 on a Litter-Robot when emptying a litterbox manually isn't that bad and the CatGenie is $500 and promises zero-maintenance. Have you had good luck with premium options like that?
