Lapz seems like a cool concept (although I don’t follow F1 myself), but it got put on hold because legal https://www.theverge.com/2024/11/20/24301420/apple-vision-pro-viral-lapz-app-f1-complaint

just say it involves AI, you’ll get all the funding

has it really been 4 years already? sheesh.

Here’s the really long version: like everyone, we publish our videos on YouTube

I think I’ve found the underlying issue

welcome to the world of LLMs

the same way a healthily developing young person compares to their parent in the paliative care ward, whose religious relatives won’t agree to turn off the respirator because “look they still have a heartbeat”.

and?

there used to be phones with pop-up cameras for a year or two.

You pay for the catalogue and the recommendation feed.

…and the artists get peanuts.

I listen to a lot of music. like, a lot. and yet from my calculations the artist I’ve listened to the most during that year still didn’t get even a dollar from my listens. and with how absolutely garbage the Spotify app has become, I’ve resorted to just archiving my entire collection online in lossless format and buying albums I particularly like on Bandcamp every now and then. it costs me less than an ongoing subscription because one purchase is just one or two month’s worth of Spotify Premium, I get to keep the music even if the service goes down, I don’t have podcasts that I don’t want shoved in my face, and the artists I like actually get something from me.

probably because it’s the default SMS app on most Android phones nowadays, and people don’t bother installing a third party one, or aren’t aware that it’s a possibility. or they want to use RCS features.

Taking the #1[…] ranked word

I just got “love good people people people time people”.

have you considered that a platform for sharing short, vertical videos, developed by a single person, perhaps isn’t trying to become a “serious competitor” for Youtube?

the videos get automatically deleted after some time.

then go for it.

the archinstall script is officially supported and very straightforward. like, almost Calamares-but-in-TUI straightforward.
