So what the new business model is?
- Steal content from creators
- Train AI model using that content
- Sell this content to users as original
When creators go out of business and there’s nothing to steal, how will this business continue?
- Comment on Did we win? 1 day ago:
I’m writing an app that I will distribute only through f-droid. The people I would like to share it with are typical, non-technical android users. Before those changes I could just send them a link to f-droid apk and explain it’s just another app store or send a link to the apk directly and probably most of them would be able to install it. Now I would have to tell them to do all those weird things first, things that look suspicious and that they would not understand the purpose of. I don’t think anyone will be wiling to do it. This is not a win. The effect will be exactly the same - serious limits on distributing apps though alternative channels.

I lost contact with him when I moved to another country so I don’t know if it’s still true but it was definitely true between 2008 and 2015. No idea when he started doing it. He did mention something about it ‘being his turn’ so it’s possible other people did it before him as well.

I once knew a guy who didn’t put his coins in order. You know the trivia that average person swallows 8 spiders per year? It was this guy. He would sit at home and eat spiders all the time. Just spoonful after spoonful of spiders for every meal. 60 billion spiders each year. That’s were this statistics comes from. No idea if the coin thing was related. Completely normal guy otherwise.

- Comment on 79% of smart dash cams we tested had security flaws and concerns, and in some cases they were breaking the law - Out of 28, only six didn't have any concerns. 6 days ago:
Security issues? In a camera recording to an SD card without any connectivity?
Smart dash cams have wireless connectivity and features that use the internet. This could be tracking technologies, motion detection, voice assistant controls and voice alerts, as well as more advanced features such as automatic cloud backup, real-time alerts and remote viewing.
Oh, there’s your problem…

- Comment on Would it be possible to have a successful career as a lawyer and never lie? 1 week ago:
Of course.
First, lawyers don’t say “my client is innocent”. They say “my client claims he is innocent”. Lawyers are not witnesses, they don’t claim anything in the court. They present evidence and ask questions. You don’t have to lie to do it.
Second, people imagine the job of a lawyer is to get their client acquitted. It’s not, it’s to represent their client in court.
Let’s say you are a lawyer and you have to represent a serial killer. The evidence is overwhelming and it’s obvious he is guilty but still he pleads “not guilty”. Your job is not to try avoid conviction. Your job is to make sure he is treated fairly and that his rights are respected. You basically have to oversee the trial from his side. Make sure that evidence was obtained legally, that witnesses tell the truth, that experts have proper credentials. You don’t have to lie to do any of that.
Yes, some lawyers will be experts in taking out criminals out of jails by manipulating juries, forging evidence or intimidating witnesses. Most lawyers are not.

There are other de-googled Android versions. /e/, iode, LineageOS. If you don’t need the additional hardening of Graphene (and since you’re not using it now I’m guessing you don’t need it) your not limited to Pixels or the upcoming Motorola.

Authoritarianism is never passed through a bill overnight. It’s one step in the wrong direction after another, multiplied N times.
Can you give me an example, please? There are many authoritarian countries in the world. Can you tell me how they were created in many small steps?

My favorite is when they drive right next to you on the acceleration lane for hundredths of meters waiting for you to let them merge and once they merge they accelerate right away to go way faster.
- Comment on US state laws push age checks into the operating system 1 week ago:
I mean at least the cars thing is pretty legitimately true.
Only in US. Many things are fucked up in US for many different reasons. People support it because of brainwashing. It’s not slipped trough without anyone noticing.
- Comment on US state laws push age checks into the operating system 1 week ago:
“Once everyone has a credit card they will ban cash so that every transaction can be tracked”
“Once every phone has GPS they will make it mandatory to send your location to the government at all times.”
“Once everyone has a car they will make walking illegal”
“Once everyone has an ID they will make it mandatory to scan it on every step”
“If you let gays get married people will marry their pets next”
Do those thing ever come true at all? Other than US being a fascist state run by corporations, did any country managed to pull off this slippery slope type trick? From what I see people either consent to being tracked in exchange for likes on social media or governments simply push mass face renegotiation and tracking (like in UK) without any sort of “step by step, boiling frog” type bullshit.
- Comment on Causes of death, or track list for latest black metal album? 1 week ago:
Apropos “Cut of the Stone”. I read a book about history of surgery and one chapter was about a guy who remove his own bladder stone. Back then people didn’t have great hygiene and urinary track infections were common. Those would cause bladder stone that would get worse and worse witch each infection. The stone would block the urethra entrance so you would feel you like really need to pee but once you stand up you wouldn’t be able to. This wasn’t very pleasant so people would try to remove the stones. Typical way was to go through the taint, open the bladder, remove the stone. There’s a lot of blood vessels there so survival chances were not great. Doctors refused to do it because patients would die to often and then family would blame them and they had enough shit to deal with already. So you had traveling bladder stone removers. They would do the surgery and by the time patient would die they would be on the road again.
So this one guy, a blacksmith, tried to get his stone removed twice or had two stones removed already, it’s not clear. Anyway, he didn’t like the traveling stoncutters. So he got a sharp knife, ask some guy to assist him and did the surgery himself.

And good luck finding a charger that´s actually next to a highway. Most of them are in the middle of some town so you have to lose additional 20 minutes just to get to them and then back on the road.

Must be nice. In Spain the charging infrastructure looks like it’s literally designed to torture EV owners.
