Ok. So call me when it's ready.

I am unimpressed by the nonsense articles like these coming out about early tech.

You won't convince me that AI can't exceed "taking an arrow to a knee" quality dialogue repeated over and over, and that shit is still the best immersion we've got!

I was having a conversation elsewhere about funkywhale being used to share copyright protected content and in that conversation I ended up reading about the US DMCA Safe Harbor's requirements.

It requires you to have a designated person with their name registered with the copyright office to be considered a safe harbor.

• designating agents to receive takedown notices from copyright owners and recording those designated agents with the U.S. Copyright Office;

This is enough for me to never want ro host my own instance of any fediverse software. I can't imagine this is being done by every lemmy instance.

Is there something that makes it so this requirement isn't important for lemmy?

"Well, in regions where it is permissible, yes we should lower that age."

Roblox is saying they don't consider it to be exploiting minors, and Fortnite is saying they will only exploit minors where it's legal!

Here's how you solve this problem. Don't monetize user generated content.

Thank you for attending my TED talk.

I think they mean that the thing Ubisoft did, Activision did with overwatch and so they won't buy Diablo 4.

That's good!

By allowing emulators on the app store... Apple Bad?

Kingdom Came: Deliveranced

The Golden Girls reboot looks frightening.

Positive news about Apple, on the Apple enthusiast community? And only half of the comments are negative?

This seems like a positive move no matter how you spin it. Hopefully their solution works well to make stolen phones completely worthless.

Having had a phone stolen out of my hand while talking on it, I can say I'd rather pay more and be more wasteful than let a person who would do that make money off of it, but I'm sure most don't feel that way.

It is definitely depressing to read about.

And the fediverse doesn't map well to the laws, but it can't afford to get it wrong.

Then feel free to concede...

And maybe don't give legal advice.

And read up on your very recent history on topics before you talk about them?

Streaming companies pay streaming license deals for the content they stream.

They have distribution rights. Which you and I do not.

The RIAA is evil enough to kick a grandmother in the face because she remembered her wedding song if it meant they could make a buck.

Many were sued into oblivion, and of the big names, only Apple, which negotiated with the record labels before launching the feature, still has one going.

I'm not a lawyer, so I'll defer to this article talking to one about this type of use-case as a result of the Covid pandemic.

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/is-streaming-movies-to-friends-through-discord-and/1100-6476735/

"Fair use comes in a couple of flavors," the professor said. "There is--let's call it the 'small uses,' the quotations and quotes and clips; there is 'satire, parody, transformation;' and there is one thing I think of as 'reasonable, normal consumer uses,' which can include all media, provided it's very personal and appropriately limited to things you already had some kind of access to.

I think the third is the part of Fair Use that you're talking about. But he goes on to say:

The case gets worse as you get to larger and longer media like watching an entire movie; the case gets worse as you raise the quality of the streaming, so as you switch to streaming it through the software itself rather than just picking it up with the microphone; the case gets worse as you include more people and as people are less related to each other--as you get beyond the immediate nuclear family into a larger group of friends."

So streaming to even your family is already a gray area, but it seems that doing what you're suggesting is a much weaker case for Fair Use.

He also doesn't mention the amount and frequency of sharing, which would likely factor in.

If you create a library of every album you ever owned, with a large amount of high quality on demand streamable copyrighted content to all your friends, you're squarely in "most likely not fair use, but you won't know until they catch you" territory.

It all comes down to how likely do you think you'll be caught, and what you think you can prove in court. I definitely would not want to be the first person the RIAA makes an example of.

The other use-cases are very cool seeming. Killing Bandcamp should be every music lover's goal, and this seems like a good platform to do it with.

So if you have a good mix of friends who kept/ripped their CD/Vynil collection or bought songs from their favorite indie musicians, you can end up with a pretty extensive library. This makes it a decent (and legal) alternative to sneaker-net piracy.

Isn't that still not considered legal?

Legality aside, this is the huge barrier of entry for most people, I'd think.

It looks like you're hitting what this person called out:

And that is a sucky limit that makes your use-case not usable-able. Which is a shame because it's a cool use-case.

The tracking is great for everything except image tracking, too.

This is pretty good article about the way a Vision Pro can be used in your day to day. But to get lemmy's apple enthusiast required Apple Bad out of the way..

So here goes, from the article:

the Vision Pro still isn't something most people should consider buying

There. Anyway.

I'm going on my first flight today since getting my Vision Pro and I'm excited. I downloaded some random shows, including some from an iPad app, and the 3D version of Mad Max: Fury Road!

I fully expect it to be a buggy, early-adopter-quality experience, but I'm psyched.

I am thoroughly enthused, one might say.

What's the use-case you're trying to build?
