This place really loves slop from random garbage sources, we’ll share anything with a URL.

Read your quote and my comment again, genius.

Yeah okay, so it sounds like he’s the kind of guy who’ll build a framework, or most of it, and won’t ever really become capable of hosting a lot of videos at a watchable quality.

Technically he’ll probably have built something basically functional the community could rally behind and get going. But that won’t happen, because the people who care about the Fediverse are few, insufficiently resourceful, and most importantly don’t care about shorts.

Yeah I don’t get the drama with this one. Unless you’re some disappointed investor.

For me, with no stake in this, it’s fun. A bit weird and bad, but I’ve seen worse stuff. I feel like someone tried to do something interesting with that “Bird that wants to be a Plane” video.

In my mind I pictured the bird as Sora/GPT and the plane as the theorized incredible and perfect general AI behemoth.

Imagining the current AI as dumb, incapable and small. Not really able to understand the plane, only sort of, in it’s little bird way.

1TB is incredibly low, wow.

Yeah, I’m here for awful and unreasonable.

Nursing/Kindergarten or something? Isn’t that about that high?

I play the English opening with the horsey behind the little guy, then improvise from there… Is the English opening related to the London one?

I mean it still works for getting attention, but it’s not exactly respectable and there are some people who really don’t like them.

How do SSDs and HDDs compare to optical disks in terms of stability in storage? SSD bits can lose charge over time until a lot of 1s read as 0s, right?

GEMA aeems to be doing a lot of shit I don’t think should be done, like charging for live performances of GEMA-owned music. I also don’t see why there should be an organization with memberships? That’s not at all related.

I’m also not pitching an organization at all, I wouldn’t expect an additional one to be necessary. It’s just conceived as a legal framework change,

When I’m talking about starting companies, I’m talking about several, not competing through the size of they’re libraries, but rather through other things like cost, quality, UI, searchability, recommendations, etc.

I am not talking about a concept for a company, I’m talking about revised ethics to inform revised laws which could perhaps enable what you seem to describe Grooveshark as.

I think the DMCA experiment has gone on long enough and it’s time to try to mitigate the negative results of it through a different approach.

I just wanna pitch something:

What if it was impossible to publish something through a preferred publisher? What if any published piece of music was legal to redistribute with a published fixed global royalty?

As in: You can start a music distribution service and you don’t need to make any deals, you just use what’s out there and pay the fixed fee per user who played the song.

This could perhaps be enforced by there simply being no more legal grounds to stop your service as long as you pay, with fines for secret deals being extremely high and the award for whistleblowing also being very high.

In general I feel like movies, shows and video games could be treated the same. Ending exclusivity has been something I’ve kinda wished to see forever. I think if you reconsider the ethics many of you might conclude that you agree with me.

I swear, Lemmy users act like they are completely in favor of an instance of 40 users and a submission every other week. Seeing scale as inherently bad.

Lemmy will fucking roll over and die within the year.

Honestly, I’d tolerate an adless grey timer, you don’t even have to trick it that time has passed.

Just open in another tab, wait for skip option, skip (but probably not in a perfectly timed robotic way), then pause. Grey and silent midroll would be annoying but still tolerable.

People who know programming and how far it can go seem to sometimes trap themselves in very difficult problems that would be great to solve, but undervalue a version without that complicated luxury.

I’m all for trying to solve it, but a tool that doesn’t is still good. I just don’t want to be aware of what the companies want to make me aware of.

Only thing I know about RCS is that it has caused a few of my texts to never be sent, because the “send as normal text if RCS doesn’t work” also didn’t work. Other than that it has done nothing for me.

I guess the two categories didn’t cover the whole space of possibilities.

But many cases are clear-cut.

Yeah, there’s a significant difference between a recording and generating.

You’re gonna be reductive about it as if AI hasn’t ALREADY USED TASKRABBIT TO TRICK A HUMAN INTO SOLVING A CAPTCHA???

GPT has already neutralized our primary defence, it can now do anything.

We have offline translation tools?
