Just some pocket change, no biggie c’mon

She was previously sued by Florida reggae band Artikal Sound System, who claimed Lipa ripped off the chorus for her song from their 2015 track Live Your Life.

Their case was dropped in 2023 after a judge ruled there was no evidence that Lipa and her co-writers had “access” to the earlier song - a key requirement in any copyright lawsuit.

I never heard any of these and wasn’t even sure which song Levitating was so I went and listened to all. The wiggle one, I agree with the judge. But the chorus sounds exactly like Live Your Life. Now that’s a ripoff. What amazes me is that you can get away with this saying “no your honor I never heard of this song before and there is no evidence of me ever listening to it”. That’s outrageous. Especially in this day and age where you can listen to music from a million platforms and devices. It’s on YouTube - can you make it more accessible than that??

Six hundred and two MILLION kilograms of plastic PER YEAR am I reading that correctly?

I figured it would be getting jolted awake by the sudden pain of the fall inside the garbage truck first. But yes. Not pretty either.

Imagine going on about your already thankless job you do for a paycheck, doing everything as usual and killing someone as a result

You forget a large part of the population doesn’t understand how to download anything, and out of those who do, getting them to comply is still a challenge. Give them a pamphlet and your chances of the info getting read will skyrocket exponentially

Taxidermy is far from illegal. It’s not “Human Bone Buddies Australia”, it’s just “Bone Buddies Australia” and I’d expect anything from horse hooves to kangaroo skulls and ballsacks and whatnot. I forgot what the regulations are for human parts though, I think they have changed over the past decade or so but I’ve studied in at least two places that had real human remains as well as a vast collection of animal remains.

What she did was very, very stupid though.

Problem is that the plastic is already around. In fact, less people will have to deal with more plastic than they’d ever been responsible for

I’ve never heard of qt browsers, or servo/verso. I’ll give it a look, seems like I have a few rabbitholes to explore

Wait, wait. What? You use an app that lets you tag users and keep those tags visible only to you?

Absolutely disgusting I hope she can get away without paying. Ridiculous

Oh so this is their business model now, interesting.

Many big studios use linux (red hat or rocky, although I’m not sure what is the industry standard distro nowadays) for their 3d side of the pipeline, that would include all of that software and more. I think Zbrush is the only one that doesn’t have official Linux compatibility and the hardest one to run, but don’t quote me on that.

You are right in that finding good support for issues that pop up in Linux is hard, especially for the average joe that doesn’t have a team of specialized IT support. But when you make things work, the results are way more efficient.

It’s not just the form but the skill. I can’t dance the macarena to save my life, but when looking at her moves it’s unimpressive from a skill standpoint. Most people have seen more difficult, more coordinated, more agile moves pretty much anywhere on tv. It’s okay, but it’s not Olympics material. And then you hear the rumors that she got in because someone did her a favor, and that’s just unfair. There were other applicants more deserving of that opportunity, not to mention she’s making Australia look corrupt as fuck when it comes to judging their candidates.

Thanks for confirming. I don’t speak Japanese but my sister studied it for a few years, and according to her, teachers were always impressed with her perfect pronunciation. We’re both native Spanish speakers in an English speaking country. From what I gather, Japanese phonology has more in common with Spanish or Italian than with English.

There is not enough grass in North Korea I see

I agree with you but this article really reflects the australian way of handling things. Rules and regulations. It’s good that they’re going to ask first though.

Gotta admit I had to read that headline three times to make sense of it

I see, thanks for sharing!
