What if you're pirating to avoid agreeing to an EULA that let's a giant corporation murder your family members?

Actually, I'm willing to believe he IS their best people.

This works. I ran a linux distro in off hours on my work laptop for years this way.

In the sense that it's a matter of being in the right place at the right time, yes. Exactly the same thing. Opportunities aren't equal - they disproportionately effect those who happen to be positioned to take advantage of them. If I'm giving away a free car right now to whoever comes by, and you're not nearby, you're shit out of luck. If AI didn't HAPPEN to use massively multi-threaded computing, Nvidia would still be artificial scarcity-ing themselves to price gouging CoD players. The fact you don't see it for whatever reason doesn't make it wrong. NOBODY at Nvidia was there 5 years ago saying "Man, when this new technology hits we're going to be rolling in it." They stumbled into it by luck. They don't get credit for forseeing some future use case. They got lucky. That luck got them first mover advantage. Intel had that too. Look how well it's doing for them. Nvidia's position over AMD in this space can be due to any number of factors... production capacity, driver flexibility, faster functioning on a particular vector operation, power efficiency... hell, even the relationship between the CEO of THEIR company and OpenAI. Maybe they just had their salespeople call first. Their market dominance likely has absolutely NOTHING to do with their GPU's having better graphics performance, and to the extent they are, it's by chance - they did NOT predict generative AI, and their graphics cards just HAPPEN to be better situated for SOME reason.

Go ahead and design a better pickaxe than them, we’ll wait…

Same argument:

"He didn't earn his wealth. He just won the lottery."

"If it's so easy, YOU go ahead and win the lottery then."

How many bad forms of transportation do you think he has to saddle the world with to sate his ego about the hyperloop turning out to be a totally unworkable lie?

Absolutely! For example, look at his his running mate! He's got some of the best security in the world and it's totally prevented shoo... oh...

I'm sure they'll get RIGHT on doing something about it.

They're learning TOTAL nonsense...

Like that perseverance and effort lead to success and reward.

Take my upvote and get out of my sight.

Twitter is an international company that officially operates in multiple countries in multiple languages with large numbers of users in those countries. Truth social is a tiny media network operating in a single country in essentially one language. I don't believe for a second you don't understand the difference, and it is such a silly and irrelevant thing to bring into this conversation that I can only conclude you aren't arguing in good faith at this point, and you're just trying to waste my time. You have a good one.

First of all, who are "they" in this scenario?

Because I don't think you mean the Brazilian government, because it's relatively obvious.

There is no need to ban or censure speech for reasons of inciting violence if it doesn't have a big enough audience to actually do that.

And secondly, Truth Social's tiny audience is almost completely US citizens, who generally speaking don't speak or understand Portuguese, and the network doesn't officially operate in the country in any capacity.
