gila,

You’re right that ads supported the model, but the model was also generally anarcho-communist in nature. That people wanted to experience it without ads was expected, and considered fine. It is fine.

gila,

Surely the use of user-deleted content as training data carries the same liabilities as reinstating it on the live site? I’ve checked my old content and it hasn’t been reinstated. I’d assume such a dataset would inherently contain personal data protected by the right to erasure under GDPR, otherwise they’d use it for both purposes. If that is correct, regardless of how they filtered it, the data would be risky to use.

Perhaps the cumulative action of disenfranchised users could serve toward the result of both the devaluation of a dataset based on a future checkpoint, or reduction in average post quality leading to decreased popularity over time (if we assume content that is user-deleted en masse was useful, which I think is fair).

gila, (edited )

Well, that’d be the mechanism of how GDPR protections are actioned, yes; but leaving themselves open to these ramifications broadly would be risky. I don’t think it’d satisfy ‘compliance’ to ignore GDPR except upon request. Perhaps the issues with it are even more significant when using it as training data, given they’re investing compute and potentially needing to re-train down the track.

Based on my understanding; de-identifying the dataset wouldn’t be sufficient to be in compliance. That’s actually how it worked prior to it for the most part, but I know companies largely ended up just re-identifying data by cross-referencing multiple de-identified datasets. That nullification forming part of the basis for GDPR protections being as comprehensive as they are.

There’d almost certainly be actors who previously deleted their content that later seek to verify whether it was later used to train any public AI.

Definitely fair to say I’m making some assumptions, but essentially I think at a certain point trying to use user-deleted content as a value add just becomes riskier than it’s worth for a public company

gila,

Purchasers are affected by DRM more than pirates. Examples in the video include

  • Reason revoking their perpetual license
  • purchased Kindle ebooks being unavailable while abroad
  • Sony removing purchased titles from the playstation store so they’re no longer available for download

etc general erosion of consumer protections over time, under the auspices of that there isn’t a legal basis for the content to be accessed and therefore that the present attempt to access it would be illegal.

Pirates don’t really have to deal with any of that.

gila,

When the content purchaser encounters arbitration of access to the content they purchased, the implication is that they didn’t genuinely purchase it. It can’t really be separated that the material effect of the DRM mechanism being encountered is to inform purchasers that they are attempting to commit a crime.

Red Rock Deli Sweet Chilli & Sour Cream. Unfortunately they changed awhile back and aren’t as good anymore, but still pretty good.

As a west Aussie, for me to wear that someone would need to take the design further, like with this Muskrat shirt: nsfw language link

Just couldn’t bear the slightest risk of anyone thinking I’m genuinely wearing a Gina Rinehart shirt

edit: I’d wear this one though sfw link credit to Birrunga gallery on facebook

gila,

I don’t think you ever will be able to, ironically because the battle pass in this game is exactly what it should be: totally unnecessary

gila,

Agreed, but overall a good move to address separate and much simpler issue of predatory pricing (for the customer)

Heading to mother’s day lunch right now, set menu for $89 per person. Except it’s a 10% surcharge on Sundays, the only day that mother’s day is, so that price isnt really true at all.

This in Aus which I’d normally argue has better common-sense policies such as requiring sales tax in the menu price

gila,

Originally it was literally a spoof of the US Woolworth’s called Walworth’s, then they realised under Aus law they could just use the original name

That’s why In-N-Out does pop-ups in Aus for one day every few years, to protect their trademark. And also relates to why Hungry Jack’s is just a Burger King franchise

gila,

Good news, they have had a better fix for several years now. About a month after the PS5 came out, so what you described was possibly an actual factor in it.

gila,

Correct me if I’m wrong, but on PS5 you’ll need to send individual images to a friend, to be able to download them from your chat session on the mobile app. Or on Xbox, you’ll need to pay for OneDrive or it’ll be removed after 90 days. Both more annoying from my perspective.

After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year (www.billboard.com)

When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...

gila,

As an Apple hater; Apple Music. Cheaper, good cross-platform frontends, more equitable to artists (though by no means satisfactorily so), has a Wrapped equivalent (though who actually cares). Maybe Spotify added something it doesn’t have in the several years since I switched but, I doubt it

gila,

Yup

Under communism, sovereign authority is attributable. If you ask the US president, they’ll say they have little power. If you ask senators, or congresspeople, or local representatives, the media, the bourgeoisie, neither do any of they wield power. Where authoritarianism occurs under capitalism, apparently no one is responsible for it. Under communism, it’s directly attributable to communists.

Both are often authoritarian, but the argument that communists are more authoritarian is simply an easier one to make.

gila,

Other than ejecting your microsd and having a reader for it, it used to be the only way to get screenshots off of your console. That’s the only reason I have a twitter account at all. After an update several years back you can just send the images to your phone.

gila,

You followed the setup instructions in the welcome tab after adding the .xpi right? It works great for me on Debian. If you run an update in your dnf, does it check the repo for the extension like it should?

gila,

If Tiktok doesn’t deserve to spy on Americans, is it the counterpoint that US big tech does?

gila,

You put forward a couple of different points - I’m not conflating things, just hoping to skip past the constitutional one (which in my opinion is non-sequitur) to address the other. I might have boiled it down to a one-liner, but here’s some light further reading/viewing which may help to scratch below the surface of why this corruption as you put is probably happening: youtu.be/Fhgm5b8BR0k

gila,

Mighty+, love taking it out on the go and being able to easily swap out the dosage capsules. I love my Randy’s Charm too but concentrates are very overpriced where I am

How do you store your grounded coffee? (slrpnk.net)

Hiya, just quickly wondering how people store their coffee? Mine is in a tin box I got second hand, cos I thought it looked nice. Any rules regarding storing grounded coffee? I don’t store much at the time, it’s just if I grind a little too much and what not. I’m assuming the general thumb rule for this is to store it in a...

gila,

Woo! I picture James’ disapproving stare at me everytime I let the kettle go to full boil, or accidentally oversteep ಠ_ಠ

And any choice someone makes that is different to yours is a result of their ignorance.

And it was worth derailing this harmless thread about OP’s hobby tins to explain this to me despite that I personally make the same choice.

That’s not even an honest equivocation of what I said about coffee, just some um ackshually BS

gila,

Hey my bad. Theres no personal attack here. I interpreted your response as rude, because your equivocation seems to ignore that I acknowledged oxidation and/or static as relevant factors like you suggested, and instead responds to a false reading of a silly position I don’t hold. I just don’t think they’re that significant, as in, storing your leftover unused grounds in a tin for a short time after grinding too much (read: a method of controlling oxidation) probably doesn’t deserve pushback.

If the majority’s coffee is presumably more oxidised than OP’s; I don’t think it’s reasonable to assume that this is simply due to their collective ignorance about oxidation. And with that context, I don’t think it’s reasonable to answer a question about storing ground coffee with, “don’t do it”. Seems very Reddit. I doubt OP is grinding more than they need on purpose. But maybe you just missed/skipped that part of my comment. Either way, I’m open to my assumption being shown as incorrect, should anyone address it.

gila,

Smokin’ on the finest dope, ay-ay-ay-ah

gila,

Disagree on the codex rework, it’s a (very effective) bandaid on the stash space problem which invalidates normal dungeons as part of the game content. If not for helltide being fun and available, WT1-2 would be more monotonous than it was before; conversely the gameplay reward for getting into WT3 is now lessened.

Enjoying the patch overall though, feels fresh
