SRC changed their terms of use yesterday, and released a news post with an FAQ. They make it sound like not a big deal. It's a big deal. The Creative Commons licence is gone. They claim ownership over the data now. Thread about what this means, and what we can do about it 🧵
Comparison of the old src terms and the new src terms

I would encourage people to read the language themselves instead of relying on self described, non binding summaries. See this section for example, regarding ownership of user content - 6. Grant of Rights 2. Content 4. Elo (...)

Maybe there is something in IP law that legally stops them from using community embedded videos at will, but the ToS doesn't seem to exclude the possibility. The language in it about what is their "Service" and what is "Content" feels extremely broad.

Zoast @zoasterino.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
They seem to give themselves full rights to use your content. From how I read the new ToS, it sounds like they would also own your data, effectively. I feel it's disingenuous to say you still "own something" when they give themselves the right to also use it at will and in perpetuity.

They were really trying to pressure her, and she kept escaping and consistently making all the right plays. Incredible game.

Game companies having not credited people still makes me mad. "So other companies wouldn't poach them" is another way to say "we want to underpay those who are providing great value to 'our' games".

Not only is she lovable for her disposition, she also has a ton of potential on the court. She has been derailed by injuries, missing more than half her rookie year for example. She already has a sweet step back middy, a solid 3 pt shot, and is 3rd in blocks this season.

"nobody is talking about her record breaking game with 8 threes" That's not the record she broke. These kinds of ghouls started the drama, complain about CC not getting recognized, but can't even get the basic material facts right (in case it wasn't clear their interjections are 100% in bad faith).

I do think however that the YMO axis of musicians are less boxed into that J fusion label as a whole. Hosono was doing seminal synth work and writing proto-chiptunes in the late 70s. Insomnia from Solid State Survivor and Mykonos no Hanayome from The Aegean Sea come to my mind.

O yea I am guilty of being a light jazz enjoyer and J fusion isn't the worst of it!! Like a lot of good music, jazz seems to have been driven underground now. Maybe there's a Chart for the music biz. Weather Report fans might like Michel Camilo's "from within" from latin jazz doc Calle 54 (2000).

I don't mean to flatten the causation between unionization and political trends too much. I'm sure it's more like some sort of complex differential equation.

While I appreciated that leadership told us we were free to believe what we want, I can't help but think that there is some way to establish a stronger culture. There was indeed more feeling of worker solidarity than other places I've worked, but it was less ubiquitous than I would prefer.

I don't disagree but one question that comes to my mind about this is the trend towards a larger Republican minority membership in trade unions in the last 50 years. I've seen this first hand in my time as an electrician in the south, where it's probably particularly visible.

To me, the government's involvement in these things is eye opening in casting doubt towards it's commitment to the 1st and 4th amendments.

Thank you for sharing these stories. I'm fascinated by the divide between AFL-CIO (who I've worked under) and IWW style unionism. Obviously the AFL-CIO have more power now, but how successful are they really when you look around right now?

This is what happens when the priority becomes making content as quickly as possible, rather than making something worthwhile. You need time to think, and have that breathing room to allow yourself to do the job properly. It's not a "bad habit". It's a sign something has gone fundamentally wrong.

Oh! I recognize "very best years" from B&B panning it back in the day. Of course, they were famously idiots. I think "perfect album" is silly. Superunknown is legendary, and SG is one of my absolute favorites. But is "kickstand" perfect? "Half"!? Pedantry aside, for me- mr bungle's california.

sorry for the slow reply I haven't! I wonder if it's from some sound library or famous source? For some reason i always hear "Ri-co-la!" like that old TV commercial. Think I'd rather have freed those synapses but seems more likely I'm going to die with them, damnit.

that said i'm not gonna take anything said by a big ceo at face value either way. i think to get to that level you gotta serve capital more than being truthful or normal human virtues, and at some point management and wealth generally cooks brains into more and more sociopathy the higher up you go.

i'm not sure he was advocating this being a good thing if you read his weird politics and context of the quote. i haven't studied it deeply so correct me if i'm wrong. but he does love facilitating giving AI to the govt for wars of aggression and immigration crackdowns which is evil enough for me.

The defender did do a normal box out, though? One would have had to predict that reeves was going to brick it aggressively off the rim and over the paint, and if you reverse boxout you risk a put back dunk. Great aim to put it on the side w/ only 2 players instead of 3!

It's ahistorical in a whole host of terrible ways. But it is kind of funny that it always comes from self identified super patriots, because I too imagine them as loyalists.

From my understanding, what is being demonstrated is that 41 tone equal temperament is well equipped to represent many just intonation intervals (there's also practical benefits for being in equal temp) The music at it's core is based off just intonation (using integer ratios for your freq steps)
