Easy solution. “The Internet Archive” should rebrand itself to “Archiving the Internet” to confuse everyone who talks about how “AI” should be able to steal books.

Agreed about changing the copyright law.
Until that happens though, they must not be allowed to have it both ways - call us “pirates” when we copy their shit without paying for it, and tell us that paying for shit they copy is “impossible”.
Maybe. Probably. Who can keep track?
Libraries are still a thing. You can still go there to borrow a book, read it, and return it, so that others can read it.
Public libraries are under assault from every direction.

Pretty soon you either won’t find the books, or even the libraries themselves. Piracy is the only way they are leaving to us.

You mean OUR Communist inspired fantasy football league, comrade.
It’s a trap!
I’m one of those people that couldn’t get past the middle part. Plus, something about that engine gives me terrible motion sickness after 30 minutes of playing.
I’m a software developer. All my relatives assume that I know how to troubleshoot every computer problem they have. From cleaning up crapware-ridden ancient Windows XP laptops to replacing failed hard drives, they call me for help.
I mean I do, but that’s not the point!
Wait 5 second, they will tell you.
With max shutter speed (looks to be 1/8000 on your D7500) try following your subject while shooting (a.k.a. panning), and you should get nice motion blur on the background like this: https://static.wixstatic.com/media/4af1e0_0c4400474dff4f94a8873a2d235b1139~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1280,h_720,al_c,q_90/4af1e0_0c4400474dff4f94a8873a2d235b1139~mv2.webp

Also to keep in mind that many consumer grade lenses get soft at their max zoom levels.
Shutter speed is only half the equation. What’s your aperture set to? If you shoot wife-open (lowest f number) on a fast lens (e.g. f/1.4), the area that is in focus will be too shallow, and the camera’s AF will have trouble locking onto fast moving subjects. Step it down to f/4-f/8 to get more of the area in focus,and get the shutter even faster to 1/4000 or even 1/8000 to freeze the motion. Of course if you’re shooting indoors that would require cranking up the ISO to compensate, which may introduce noise. It’s a matter of finding the right balance.
Do NOT let them recite their poetry to you!!!
I take it as “received a diploma from an accredited educational institution”.
Isn’t this getting blocked in 24H2?

Didn’t they block the Shift-F10 workaround in 24H2?
What’s the alternative? Buying Chromebooks and creating a generation of Google drones?
Alright, As You Wish.
I have a whole separate list for arcade games.
All of them. I dislike every marketing tactic ever invented.
