08:34 schestowitz[TR]; It went through some linux sites like gamingonlinux as per the file in git and then extracted from them a ready-to-post set, like "merged"

08:34 schestowitz[TR]; This script is from this past summer. Some sites did not keep compatibility anyway, maybe time to automate some more, using the opml files? I reckon we can write a lot more if some of the feeds are processed in this way, at least some.

13:47 schestowitz[TR]; Having written a manuscript I went about tying to get it published. The common approach in most countries is that first you have to pitch your manuscript to a literary agent, and if you succeed, they will then try to pitch it to publishers. In Finland the the procedure is simpler, anyone can submit their manuscripts directly to book publishing houses without a middle man. While this makes t

The more you polish the bigger your chances of getting published, but the longer it takes and the more work you have to do if the publisher wants to make changes to the content.

13:58 schestowitz[TR]; IANAL, but I agree that the lawsuit seems flawed in its understanding of how generative AI works, and that is likely to cause the action to fail. If it does, it will probably also make it harder for future lawsuits to succeed in this area (Getty Images has just announced one in the UK against Stability AI, but no details yet). The following paragraph from the home page of the legal action i
