- Comment on Audible unveils plans to use AI voices to narrate audiobooks 1 hour ago:
Publishers will at least retain the right to use AI audio books for themselves. And it’s much easier for an author to get a piece of something the publisher does than it is for them to get money for books Amazon recorded without their consent.
- Comment on Audible unveils plans to use AI voices to narrate audiobooks 12 hours ago:
Yeah currently contracts require the author’s or publisher’s consent. If anyone is a writer make sure to triple check your contracts for this shit.

- Comment on [Opinion] Unending ransomware attacks are a symptom, not the sickness 1 day ago:
The insurance industry is filling in this gap right now for cyber insurance. They are requiring a certain level of security before they will write a policy. Try doing business with any other company without a huge cyber insurance requirement in the contract.
- Comment on Things at Tesla are worse than they appear 2 days ago:
Good and great are used differently for a reason. It’s not really a semantic difference.
- Comment on Things at Tesla are worse than they appear 2 days ago:
Good thing I didn’t use the word great, and I’m talking about the cars they made in the 30s and 40s.

Yeah, crypto is the farthest thing from a solution to that problem.

- Comment on Hot sauce is for Dad to protect his food from scavenging by lesser beings 4 days ago:
That’s why I add a lot. And again, she has no tolerance for spicy anything.
- Comment on Hot sauce is for Dad to protect his food from scavenging by lesser beings 4 days ago:
Back when I was in highschool I brought home chili from work which I had added a lot of Cholula to as I liked. I set it on the dining room table sealed in the container while I went to my room to change. In the midst of changing I hear a yell from the other end of the house. It’s my mother screaming “Are you trying to kill me?!?!” Neither of my parents tolerate spicy foods well. It’s still a story I love to tell and to needle my mom with.
- Comment on Are people blind on PeerTube? 4 days ago:
Anyone can backup any other peertube instance. But that of course comes at a cost.
- Comment on PeerTube App v1 is out! 1 week ago:
Most instances I have found won’t give you an account unless you plan to upload videos. Admins need the ability to grant accounts without upload right and have a request and approval process for creators later.

You’re lost.

No, there are still plenty around. I drive past one often enough to know they have decent drink specials.
- Comment on Towels should have labels (colour coded even) on each side and quadrants to show which part wipes where on your body. 1 week ago:
Dear young men who listen to too much Rogen and are hopelessly obsessed with the toxic bro-sphere. It’s not gay to wash your ass.
- Comment on If you had $1500 to spend 1 week ago:
I wasn’t really speaking on a voron as it’s far superior to another recommendation people are making, and honestly ALWAYS make when people are considering a purchase.
- Comment on If you had $1500 to spend 1 week ago:
I’m sorry, but it’s shameful so many people are telling you to spend $1,200 on a printer because of the brand when you can get an identical or even superior feature set for half that or less. They have fallen so far behind and the loyalists just cannot admit it.
- Comment on U.S. Secretary of Commerce says the ‘new model’ is factory jobs for life—for you, your kids, and your grandkids 1 week ago:
He doesn’t mean after they graduate high school, he means as soon as they can walk.

Yeah, but not more than a life.
- Comment on WTF why my filament exploded? 2 weeks ago:
Even the thick plastic bags are semi permeable. Eventually every sealed filament will soak up moisture.

He’s the thing about temperature sensors, they vary.
- Comment on Top 19 'Truly Superwealthy' US Families Grew $1 Trillion Richer Last Year: Analysis 2 weeks ago:
Just remember, there’s no such thing as infinite growth. These people are just getting better at extracting wealth from us.
- Comment on WTF why my filament exploded? 2 weeks ago:
You didn’t dry it enough. You only dried the outside, the inside was still wet and brittle. Once you used up the dry stuff it broke.
- Comment on Is there any lemmy instance that's truly liberal enough to tolerate a completely divergent point of view ? The EU norms are not for me, and I'm also far far away from the MAGA politics of USA !!! 2 weeks ago:
- Comment on Kickstarter adds a 'tariff manager' to let creators add surcharges to previously funded projects 2 weeks ago:
Yes, because Trump is eliminating the de minimus exception for Tariffs. Meaning even if an individual imports a small product it will be subject to tariffs.
- Comment on I wonder what the specs are on the technology that disables shopping cart wheels 2 weeks ago:
Maybe, it’s actually pretty limited compared to a real SDR.
- Comment on Build your own antisocial writing rig with DOS and a USB key 2 weeks ago:
Cannot write half as fast as I type, and then you still need to type to punish it anywhere.
- Comment on The Brits had an anthem ready for when Margaret Thatcher died. Americans should also be prepared. 2 weeks ago:
I imagine the grounds staff will put gravel over that grave. No way grass will ever survive that amount of urine.
- Comment on Virginia passes law to enforce maximum vehicle speeds for repeat speeders 2 weeks ago:
Like most humans you are bad at calculating risk. Speeding on a trip to a hospital will likely only save you seconds. An ambulance that can avoid traffic and skip red lights is going to save significantly more time.
