Oh yeah, maybe it was a package deal and they only really cared about the training data.

I don’t get why Google would agree to pay for anything. Google can survive without Reddit, but Reddit would be hurt without Google and would eventually be forced to give in. Where’s that corporate greed when you need it?

This is unironically the answer. You can’t make a general-purpose captcha solver AI if every website or group of websites uses a completely different kind of captcha.

Yep. Not always larger necessarily, but close to the same size on average, or maybe a little smaller if the domain is limited and compression can be applied. Not really useful.

It also means that people with no friends already using it simply can’t join. Big oof for them.

Invitation only services are bad.

That’s an absurd hurdle for accessing an online service. I guess I shouldn’t expect people on the fediverse to understand, considering the barriers to entry it has.

That sounds infeasible in the real world. 90% of the population isn’t even going to understand a system like that, much less be willing to use it.

This was how my relatively modern laptop with an HDD ran when it had Windows 10 (which it came with). The main difference was that it was closer to 5-10 minutes.

I switched to Linux and the problem went away. Funny how that works.

That could work in that specific case, but telling the LLM to write code to answer random questions probably wouldn’t work very well in general.

It literally happened in the US with period tracker app data getting subpoenaed in a state with an abortion ban.

Thanks, you have saved me the time of trying it again.

Does KDE connect actually work with SMS on Windows now? Last time I used it, I couldn’t text people, only reply using the notification if they texted me and I happened to click on it quickly enough. Pretty useless.

If Microsoft was a smaller company, this would completely ruin them and the next headline would be them declaring bankruptcy after failing to fight off 50,000 lawsuits. Fortunately for them, laws don’t apply to companies their size.

Firefox can open PDFs and I’m not sure about the desktop versions, but the Android version is 117MB.

You can bet your ass they paid a lot of money to get their malware on your computer. It should be illegal to load consumer hardware with 3rd party bloatware that can’t be removed.

That doesn’t matter. If you buy a house and miss a sentence buried in page 2,784 of the agreement that says that the previous owner can arbitrarily decide to take the house back whenever they feel like it, that still won’t hold up in court. Digital products need to work the same way.

That doesn’t matter. You don’t get to just unlitaterally revoke something people paid for because they didn’t want to sign up for an account at a company that was unrelated to Minecraft when they bought the game. This should be illegal.

You need more data to recognize frames, but not a lot more data. A hash for each quality setting would be sufficient as long as they don’t start fuzzing the videos, which would be very expensive on their part.
