Sadly I think it’s more that there isn’t really a standard way to buy books and other media in bulk at the scale of which AI training usually requires. So the companies realise they can save both time and money in just pirating after calculating the fine risk. Its just a bonus that they usually get away with it and that the fines would likely be cheaper than a legit transaction. But i do think it’s the bulk data packaging that makes piracy look more attractive to them at the get-go.

Heck, even video game publishers often source their roms for their official re-releases from pirated copies because pirates are better at preserving data and keeping it in a nice friendly format. Easier to search for it on the web and download it then it is too goo into their own archives and rip it themselves, if they even still have original copies, cause they sure as hell didn’t keep their source code.

Yeah i agree with most of what you said. I don’t have massive issues with companies tracking and recording data. By default they should only be allowed to use that data themselves (which can get a bit murky when the company in question is that of a conglomerate) and you should have to explicitly allow the sharing of data to third parties that is separate to standard TOC’s.

GDPR tried to solve this but it kind of made a lot of the options available to the user a bit of a mess and overwhelming because there’s not much regulation about what can be done with data (somewhat - there actually are limitations but it’s not very well enforced), just that the user has to say they agree. And that’s not even thinking about how the banners and pop ups are obtrusive as fuck.

I’m not smart enough to know what the actual solution should be other than I know it needs to be better than it is now.

Don’t you need to be rooted for those patches?

Since Google sheets came around I’ve always found freaking with excel more of a headache so I’ve not touched it for a loooong time. Only the reader version when someone sends me an xlsx in an email

I wouldn’t mind seeing it again but it depends on the circumstance. And the amount of circumstances depends on the “creativity” of others.

Not to mention the time it would take to ingest that data

Redundancy and high quality backups maybe? Some people have hoarded a lot of media over how many years, doesn’t seem too far fetched to me.

People should look into the ikko mind one too. Its shit that they have so much emphasis on their “AI OS” which is just an integrated app (which can be requested to be removed before delivery or removed via adb). But the hardware looks solid.

Its a square screen phone that you can get a keyboard case for that includes a hifi dac. Its camera is a big sony sensor that can flip over to the front so they didn’t need to split the camera money between two or more sensors.

For this game it was either this or the game never released at all though

I think the USA is a bit big to be considered an island

He’s not talking about fedora, he didn’t ask about if fedora’s changes would make it into cachy os but about the timeframe on how quickly the plasma login manager being a default for the plasma desktop environment on cachy os. Talk about whiffing right over the head, I think it must’ve been in orbit.

Vivaldi is unusable for me because you can’t have the bookmarks bar only show on the new tab screen, and they seem unwilling to add that in to save face in a few discussions they’ve had about that feature, it’s weird.

My primary is Firefox too by the way.

Its developers tools, as is is better than chromes.

And like i said in my original comment it’s vertical tabs are one of the best implementations out there at the moment.

It has sensible tab folder features which I usually don’t use in other browsers but in edge they’re great.

It also has what they call workspaces that keeps the exact state of your tabs across signed in instances if the browser irregardless of device (it even syncs in real-time - which has helped me in times at work when i can remote into multiple different devices on our network).

Granted i can understand on personal devices the signed in workspaces may sound awful to most but on a device where i already have to be signed in to a Microsoft account for work anyway, it’s a moot point for me. My work laptop is the only windows device i have in the house if that’s worth any merit. Windows is awful, getting worse by the way and edge will soon be following suit so even though I’m praising it in its current state, I can’t see me continuing to do so for much longer.

As a base browser. I think edge is better than standard Chrome if you want Chromium.

Aren’t you thinking about them more by having to explicitly think of replacing the a with an asterisk when you want to refer to them?

The cult might fracture a bit though which is something we could hope for.

Edge was fine, i use it at work to further separate personal use from work use further. It’s vertical tabs are top tier and being able to have the dev tools have vertical tabs is also a massive plots for productivity. However the latter is getting removed for seemingly no reason and once that’s gone there’s no boon to using edge anymore and I’ll just use a separate Firefox profile or use some chromium browser for work.
