Unless there’s some agreement / licensing thing prohibiting it, and considering that lyrics don’t change, they should be able to do some caching for a total of 1 API call per song

Wonder what the percent of AI datasets being propaganda is

I don’t think Steam supports any sort of sliding scale system and they have a price parity rule which would be broken by offering it elsewhere

(for demonstration purposes only, please don’t think I’m like this)

I think it shows some of the strengths of federated networks. If the owners of a small proprietary social network ghosted their project, it would take a huge effort to try to replace it, which would be insurmountable for many communities. But in this case, a community can fork onto a new server pretty quickly and seamlessly.

They’ve raised over $80 million. Investor money is a poison, and the only antidote is enshittification.

I could be wrong, but I don’t see a path forward for Biden, and I think the Israel/Palestine conflict is a big part of it. It’s so polarizing among Democrats/leftists. Biden will either be viewed as a genocide supporter or an anti-semite, and it’s very difficult to find any sort of middle-ground. I don’t think Republicans are as emotionally invested in it - they just don’t want to see too much money sent away.

Software developer. Having my home constantly phoning home to megacorporations sounds creepy, but more importantly, none of these smart home products solve a problem. They just add additional points of failure to appliances that have historically been sufficiently reliable.

200mg of caffeine makes me feel ill. 390mg in a lemonade is insane. wtf

Different times. When I was growing up, a sex scene in a movie might be one of very few opportunities where you got to see a pair of boobs, unless you could get someone to buy you a porno magazine or VHS tape. These days, there are probably millions of options in this area, instantly accessible. And Hollywood-produced nude/sex scenes are all going to be fake and cringy in comparison.

This can certainly be done as long as we stick to the five core values - take ownership, take the leap, act with integrity, put the customer first, and dare to innovate.

I’d place Twitch in that spot before Tiktok as well. Bordering on unusable for years

I had the anti-self-checkout mentality for a bit, because I didn’t want to see cashiers losing their jobs. One day at Target I was waiting in line at the human checkout, and the cashier started yelling at everyone in line that there were multiple self-checkout machines open. It sounded like she hated our guts.

Fine! I’ll use the damn machines. Haven’t bothered cashiers since then if I have other options.

edit: to be clear, I’m not blaming all cashiers for her attitude, I just want to do the right thing without being a pain in anyone’s ass and I’ve learned that sometimes that means using self-checkout

I think many would agree that it’d be great for FOSS engines to get more attention and contributions, but this is the most asinine way to get that message across

Millenials were the original “avocado toast” generation targeted by boomers. We’ve been conditioned to protect our young from the real babies in these older generations. But there are good ones and bad ones in every generation.

yes and you can also leave out a plate of cookies where you want a strong signal so the wifi waves will go there when they’re hungry

Someone should start a brand like Nothing Phone / other niche phone manufacturers, but for TVs. Many of us have an attachment to iOS that makes the phone space really difficult, but I’d jump on a beefed up nerdy niche smart TV in a heartbeat.
