  • The work is being supported by grants from Google.org, The Rockefeller Foundation, and the Wikimedia Endowment.

    Either way they did get some additional funding for this project.

  • What makes you say so?

    GoG about page explicitly talks about owning, and terms even explicitly mention advance notification so you can download Dr free versions if they will ever become unavailable.

    GoG terms do not qualify purchases as temporary access licenses - only to the degree of servicing downloads as long as possible and without other limitation.

    We don't believe in controlling you and your games. Here, you won't be locked out of titles you paid for, or constantly asked to prove you own them - this is DRM-free gaming.

  • because rights that can be taken away on a whim are no rights at all

    They're rights to temporary access. A contacted temporary right.

    I agree with your main point that it's not ownership though.

  • They would gain more by cooperation or ignoring.

    It's just that you can't do that when the other party is actively destructive.

    Doesn't make it a gain in my eyes. Labeling it a gain at least requires a contextualized qualification. So saying the EU is interested in prolonging the conflict is very disingenuous.

    EU would have far more to gain ffrom Russia leaving Ukraine. Saying the EU wants to prolong the conflict for gains is disingenuous, at least misleading or ambiguous.

  • The video is a visual spectacle, and a well made peace of art.

    It raises various themes, but - I find - in a quite convoluted way. It's not sharing substance. But it certainly is a spectacle and interesting to watch.

  • "A.I collaborator" for the artificial persona as "artificial I"

    Nice word play

  • Careful though, the floor is lava

  • Any recommendation or advice you will get here will only be from a very limited view, from what you shared, and impersonal, as we can't know many things about you, your personality, and your life and life circumstances.

    You say you have a decent job, and you consider focusing on that. Which seems like a good and split idea to me.

    You tried more than once to get back into it and finish it, but failed, so that doesn't seem viable. It'd at least need a break, but if you have the alternative, and good prospects in job etc, then I don't see why you should have to or would try to force what evidently doesn't work out at the moment.

    Surely you got some things out of your studies already, and job experience counts just as much as studies. You have a job, and surely provide value there, so they depend on you to a degree. It's not like you'll be lost.

    When it is "okay" to drop out is entirely subjective. As a broad answer to a broad question: it's always okay. Sometimes people notice it's not what they were looking for, or doesn't fit them. Unless there is reasons to follow through, it's better to cut losses and focus on something more fitting.

  • Unfortunately not. :p

  • No it's not. The west has nothing to gain from it dragging on. Nobody wants it to drag on.

  • You think it's only about improving life?

  • Isn't usenet a closed - as in non-publicly-anonymously-accessible - platform?

  • No amount of money would significantly improve my life.

  • You got it wrong.

    See the linked post. Transcription has been available for premium users for a while now.

    Now free users get two per week too.

  • transcribe voice messages for free

    Not really. It's limited to two per week.

    With this update, all users can convert up to 2 messages per week into text

  • Do you still do webdesign? You may want to check on your website vs content encoding.

  • The relevant: Manifest V3 drops support for filter list updates. Adblocker updates, even if only filter list updates, need to go through the Chrome Web Store extension update approval process.

    When Manifest V3 becomes mandatory, those updates that need to arrive "at minimum on a daily basis" will no longer be an option. Limiting remotely hosted code sounds like a totally reasonable limitation until you realize that. like most Manifest V3 changes, it seems carefully crafted to cripple ad blockers more than other extensions. Is a filtering list update, which is essentially just a list of websites, really something that needs to be limited by the "no remotely hosted code" policy?

    So since all filter list updates now need to go through the Chrome Web Store, how long does a review take? Multiple sources on the web put it at anywhere from a few hours to three weeks, depending on the whims of Google's review system. Keep in mind these timelines are before Google will dramatically increase the workload of Chrome Web Store reviews by requiring absolutely all changes to go through the review process.

  • A domain registrar rents domains to individuals (including companies as individuals). At least for the common standard registrars/top-level-domains the rented domain is owned with a guarantee of being able to extend it.

    Like with any possession, how it is sold depends the owner.

    Where did you find it and where would you "press add to cart"? If it's a trustworthy platform, the following process depends on them, but for such a high cost I would expect a manual contracted process instead of an automated one.
