Music artists aren’t getting paid.

Companies regularly buy up IP, then leave it unavailable.

No central ability to find things.

All licenses are temporary and have no end date.

Companies are regularly raising rates far beyond inflation.

Lowering quality for a given price, then making a higher price point to get it back.

Adding advertisements and raising rates to get rid of them.

Selling our watching habits.

Or, you can download it and not deal with any of that.

When piracy rates go up, it’s because customer service and value has gone down.

That’s because crappy mobile game art looks like 1993 computer games :)

Oh damn, I just started learning Godot yesterday…

Dunno, I was involved on some of the Zynga titles, so maybe I’m biased.

Two looks really decent. Maybe One could have had a few more cosmetic upgrades. It looks to me like maybe they leaned in a little hard into HDR.

If they were going to take the art much further than they did it probably would have been prudent just to make a new version.

It’ll run on 3rg gen if you patch out the install limiter, who knows how long they’ll let that work.

It’s not my main but I do have edge installed on Linux. I keep it around That’s both a vanilla Chrome install and the GPT-4 interface.

I keep most of my AI local but once in a while I need something that’s outside of the llama realm

They’re better at smelling cancer than humans.

I’m not sure we can definitively say they hallucinate less.

Hmm, I swapped FB with Lemmy for my quick dial when the elections heated up, guess I’ll just leave it that way.

Some people want convenience of accessing the data between devices.

It’s okay to store stuff in the cloud just make it’s encrypted deeply and thoroughly and that the user is the only person with the key.

There’s absolutely no reason for them to have access to this data.

yes indeed, was preparing to write something more complicated, then decided to use a less than and didn’t pay any attention that I needed to change the number :)

Oh, let there be no mistake, Trump doesn’t give a damn about manufacturing inside our borders. Trump wants to do what the companies pay him to do. It’ll be the US corporations that have to allow the invasion of Taiwan, I suspect that he’ll have a vested interest in keeping Taiwan around.

Dunno, I’d say they’re working pretty hard on this already:

Windows 10 is about to expire

Windows 11 has extra ads and telemetry.

Windows 11 has invasive AI recall

Windows 11 won’t run on hardware < 8th* gen Intel or without TPM chips

All the new apps are getting AI components that can snitch on what you’re doing. You can’t even post something into notepad without it being aware of what’s in your content and calling home.

Long live the Duck

or SearX, which by proxy uses the duck and whoever else :P

I use PIA a lot, But yeah a lot of VPNs are getting flagged as malicious these days, to be fair there’s a lot of malicious people doing things on them.

I’m fairly certain he just tell you if you got him doing his rambling thing.

With the change in political atmosphere I suspect they’re going to get a lot more leeway to do things we don’t care for. I wonder if they could lobby to make ad blocking illegal.

HBO has always had a pretty nice spread. It’s not the newest it’s not the hottest, But there’s usually something on there that I want to watch, coming from the let’s just log in and see what there is to watch scenario. I hopped onto Max when they brought all the old cartoons over, I started ripping and stripping for all I was worth because a lot of that stuff was not readily available at the time.

Then they had their big shutdown and they lost a lot of that content and I walked away right then.

You’re still good for streaming reruns of decent rewatchable movies though I’d say more so than Netflix.

I’ve been dual welding browsers since chrome came out. The second they started talking about deprecating manifest 2, I test drove Vivaldi and Brave. Now they’re set up as my second.

I tried to convert over to Libwolf, But it absolutely massacres my passkeys.

I plan to main Firefox until they do something stupid which I think is inevitable with their recent statements.

I’m just hoping that by the time The other Firefox shoe drops there will be something else viable on the market. I don’t know how long Brave and Vivaldi can hold out with chromium changing underneath them

I strongly suspect that is exactly what they’re trying to stop.
