- Comment on France is about to pass the worst surveillance law in the EU. 1 week ago:
A reminder that the people voting for these laws do not understand technology. They don’t get it. Yes, this law sucks, but even if it passes, I’d be really surprised if it was actually enforceable.

Didn’t they already have this before but removed it? At least in my country a “lite”-variant was available but they removed it like last year.

Awesome, looks great! I don’t mind a “complicated” setup as long as I don’t need to go in and fix stuff afterwards. Thanks for the reply :)

- Comment on Lending e-books in the EU just became a lot more complicated as libraries move to closed ecosystems 2 weeks ago:
As mentioned, this is one of the reasons why Adobe DRM couldn’t longer be used according to the interpretations of the EU directive, and why they “had to” remove the option to download the DRM-protected ePub file and move to an app instead where they could make text-to-speech work.
- Comment on Lending e-books in the EU just became a lot more complicated as libraries move to closed ecosystems 2 weeks ago:
At least you could easily DeDRM ADE. This seems a lot trickier due to there not being one universal solution and it being in-app.

Exactly this.

- Comment on Loops by pixelfied Is Doomed to Fail Because of Daniel Supernault 2 weeks ago:
I’m not even convinced that Loops was a good idea to begin with. Yes, sure, always nice to have fediverse alternatives of mainstream apps, but short-form videos like those on Tiktok wouldn’t have been successful if not for Tiktoks algorithm which is much, much better than even any of the competition. It’s really good at discoverability and being addictive. And Loops doesn’t have anything like this (and even if this is good depending on who you ask, it definitely doesn’t give Loops an advantage). Who even is the target audience of Loops?

Not really? Always something else beyond the horizon.
- Comment on Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books 3 weeks ago:
At least I’m hoping that there’ll still be a spectrum of both BW and color screens available. Apparently many seem to like/prefer colour screen, and the screen door effect and worse contrast doesn’t seem to bother a lot of people. Some even prefer the more textured look of the screen door effect, though I don’t know myself as I’ve never tried a colour screen. Either way, I’d be hesitant to try one, and as I kept my Kobo Aura One for like 7 years it’ll be quite some time before I upgrade my current Kobo Libra 2. If I have some spare cash I might be inclined to try a colour e-reader as an alternative to my current one, but it’s not high on my priority list.
But yeah, it definitely seems that Kobo is pushing their colour screens as they’re only selling the Libra in colour now. Might be that they release a B/W once the hype dies out a bit though.
- Comment on Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books 3 weeks ago:
Wow, I just bought it last year before they discontinued it then. Interesting that only colour screens are available now. It must mean that they are at least as good though?
- Comment on Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books 3 weeks ago:
Absurd. Glad I have a Kobo.

- Comment on Lemmy vs Mbin vs PieFed 4 weeks ago:
Mbin has better support for microblogs and Mastodon federation than Lemmy. I also prefer the default front-end of Mbin to Lemmy, but Lemmy has better alternative frontends and apps. I think it’s great to support Mbin as well.
- Comment on Deepfake videos are getting shockingly good | TechCrunch 4 weeks ago:
Until these starts getting used on a broader scale, I’m not convinced these are not schemes to funnel more investment money into their companies. The examples are really short, probably made after I don’t know how many attempts, and probably very limited in what poses and/or actions they can show. I’m so tired of the LLM hype in general.
- Comment on OpenAI: Our models are more persuasive than 82% of Reddit users 4 weeks ago:
If you don’t read the article, this sounds worse than it is. I think this is the important part:
ChatGPT’s persuasion performance is still short of the 95th percentile that OpenAI would consider “clear superhuman performance,” a term that conjures up images of an ultra-persuasive AI convincing a military general to launch nuclear weapons or something. It’s important to remember, though, that this evaluation is all relative to a random response from among the hundreds of thousands posted by everyday Redditors using the ChangeMyView subreddit. If that random Redditor’s response ranked as a “1” and the AI’s response ranked as a “2,” that would be considered a success for the AI, even though neither response was all that persuasive.
OpenAI’s current persuasion test fails to measure how often human readers were actually spurred to change their minds by a ChatGPT-written argument, a high bar that might actually merit the “superhuman” adjective. It also fails to measure whether even the most effective AI-written arguments are persuading users to abandon deeply held beliefs or simply changing minds regarding trivialities like whether a hot dog is a sandwich.

I’ve been self-hosting Actual as an alternative to YNAB and I’m completely sold. It’s really great, especially with bank account syncing activated. If you like envelope based budgeting I’d definitely go with Actual.
