And life has been transformed! Everything is wonderful now!

I live in Pennsylvania. I will not be voting for Joe Biden.

I honestly don’t get the outage over that. I feel like I’m in the minority on that, though. I don’t care if linguistic statics are gathered from my public comments. Knock yourself out.

This story is about “private” messages on a free hosted service, and I think their users are just being naive if they think this is beyond the pale. But I get the feeling of violation at least a little.

Don’t worry about it, the angry edit was meant to be humorous- in general I agree that it’s a mistake to let downvotes upset you.

(And because I’m the admin of my own instance, the votes are made visible through the UI. So if I wanted to be a vindictive weirdo about it, I could… 😉)

I’m a good enough software engineer that this isn’t true. I bet I get paid a lot more than you. 😎

(The above statement is not a truthful statement.)

“In case this is a real question?”

Anyway, I just read through the settlement and I didn’t see any explicit transfer of ownership of he code in there. I’m not a lawyer though, there are some things in there I may not understand the implications of.

Did they transfer ownership of the code to Nintendo? If so, it might be a violation of Nintendo’s copyright on Yuzu itself.

To everyone who downvoted this: You are of low relative quality. Friggen jerks! I dress better than you! GET A LIFE! 😡😡😡😡😡

“Instead of working on that project that you were enjoying working on in your spare time, why not do this completely different other thing?”

That’s not reasonable.

Exactly, you never intended to commission an artist because you think so-called “AI art” is good enough to replace them.

Weird argument to make on a piracy sub, honestly. The existence of an AI generated image does not imply that a somewhere an artist lost a commission. Nobody was replaced. It’s not a choice between AI art and commissioned art, it’s a choice between AI generated images and nothing at all because that was the point of his project.

Whether we find it tasteful or interesting is another topic.

Agreed, and I don’t intend to stop at the moment. When I wrote “close it” I meant registration, sorry about the ambiguous language.

I’m aware of the risk, but so far the captcha seems to have prevented any mass sign-up, and none of the few other existing accounts so far have any activity. That said, since I have no intention to support a user base anymore, I probably should close it anyway.

I run my own instance that technically does have open registration, but I can’t really recommend anyone actually sign up to use it. It’s not running on very powerful hardware, and my commitment to keeping it running 24/7 is “as long as it stays convenient and interesting.” There are probably many, many of those. But there are a good collection of second and third tier instances now as well, I’m not to worried about .world’s popularity so long as they don’t do something like switch to a federation allow-list rather than a block list.

Personally, I think it’s okay for things to disappear sometimes. Nothing is permanent. I have no anxiety about this.

People pretending it’s not useful and/or not improving all the time are living in their own worlds. I think you can argue the legality and the ethics, but any anti-ai position based on low quality output (“it can’t even do hands!”) has a short shelf-life.

Local by default, option to go remote. Even the privacy-first types might want to offload that to a more powerful local machine.

They could even sell access to a Mozilla provided AI server like they do with the VPN service.

I thought Servo was basically dead since the layoffs at Mozilla in 2020, but your comment caused me to look into it and evidently funding was found to resume development on it at the beginning of last year. That’s good news! (to me!)

Nothing wrong with it, but why am I hearing about it?

This is why I prefer using my own instance- I don’t want these federation choices made for me by people like this.

I’ve worked in “secure” environments for the US military and yeah, open access to the internet while you’re on the job is absurd to expect

just keep coding, your employer will outsource you the very moment i seems convenient

This seems pretty normal honstly

Why can’t it just be “posts?”

I’m eternally grateful!

Don’t care, it made me violently ill and I will never use it

No disrespect to those who do, including the kbin dev. And the friendica dev! And who could forget Nextcloud.

I simply do not have the fortitude

Me: “It’s okay to be awake at 3 AM since I’m getting a head start by thinking about the code I need to write”

Then a handful of hours later, reality ensues

I’m actually a bit surprised by how high it is.

WTF, I have never used nor seen “j.”

I don’t usually have to name these variables these days though. Pretty much everything I use has foreach or some functional programming type stuff.

And like that, the off-by-one mistakes disappear.

Yes, Nextcloud. It’s not perfect, but it has made my life easier for the last few years

Removing entire features that nobody knows we have and haven’t been supported for years

Nerd

You don’t see a lot of chatter about the CCPA, I wonder why.

It’s hard to imagine a practical reason to do so. This, however, has not been a good heuristic for determining what a CEO having a temper tantrum will do, so who the hell knows.

Right, even if you don’t use anything affected by the restrictions being put on the API, I just feel like Reddit will get noticeably worse from here on out. Huffman is basically promising that it will.
