  • I say fault lies not with only one, but both.

  • Krita doesn't have an Android app version though, does it?

  • Thoth was more than a messenger of a single message. Quoting Wikipedia:

    He was the god of the Moon, wisdom, knowledge, writing, hieroglyphs, science, magic, art and judgment.

    Thoth played many vital and prominent roles in Egyptian mythology, such as maintaining the universe, and being one of the two deities (the other being Ma'at) who stood on either side of Ra's solar barque. In the later history of ancient Egypt, Thoth became heavily associated with the arbitration of godly disputes,[6] the arts of magic, the system of writing, and the judgment of the dead.

  • yt-dlp supports various sites and authentication options (may have to take over from webbrowser). I don't see an explicit extractor in the source, but it may work anyway. It's what I'd try first.

  • A public forever storage of all transactions is not good but bad for privacy.

    Send money to someone and they can see your wallet and all transactions.

    Identifying wallet owners may require different levels of effort. But that's kinda besides the point.

  • Yes, exactly. That's what I was referring to in my last sentence.

  • Did they overestimate their flexibility?

    If it was prototypes, I assume it wasn't a bought nor sold product?

  • My LG asked me whether I want to enable the smart voice, listening, and AI stuff and I declined.

  • I am astonished by an established, commercial website having good structure.

    It looks like a documentation website. Sidebar with clear categories and navigation. I really like it.

  • The article doesn't say much. So I checked the source for more information. It doesn't say much more, but IMO in a much better way, in two concise paragraphs. In the sourced financial report, it is in the intro, two paragraphs:

    An example R&D initiative, sponsored by the Innovation team was Project Ava, where a team, initially from Electric Square Malta, attempted to create a 2D game solely using Gen AI. Over the six-month process, the team shared their findings across the Group, highlighting where Gen AI has the potential to augment the game development process, and where it lags behind. Whilst the project team started small, it identified over 400 tools, evaluating and utilising those with the best potential. Despite this, we ultimately utilised bench resource from seven different game development studios as part of the project, as the tooling was unable to replace talent.

    One of the key learnings was that whilst Gen AI may simplify or accelerate certain processes, the best results and quality needed can only be achieved by experts in their field utilising Gen AI as a new, powerful tool in their creative process. As a research project, the game will not be released to the public, but has been an excellent initiative to rapidly spread tangible learnings across the Group, provide insights to clients and it demonstrates the power and level of cross-studio collaboration that currently exists. Alongside Project Ava, the team is undertaking a range of Gen AI R&D projects, including around 3D assets, to ensure that we are able to provide current insights in an ever- evolving part of the market


    The central quote and conclusion being:

    One of the key learnings was that whilst Gen AI may simplify or accelerate certain processes, the best results and quality needed can only be achieved by experts in their field utilising Gen AI as a new, powerful tool in their creative process.

    Which is obvious and expected for anyone familiar with the technology. Of course, experiments and confirming expectations has value too. And I'm certain actually using tools and finding out which ones they can use where is very useful to them specifically.

  • None of them are FOSS. Dunno about calling them SaaS.

    • My email provider, 1 € per month, posteo.de.
    • My VPS (virtual private server), netcup.de.
    • Does Amazon Prime count?
  • Firefox, uBlock Origin, adguard DNS, sponsorblock (crowdsourced video sections with auto skip), DeArrow (crowdsourced clickbait replacement), nyancat seek/progress bar, playback speed control, Dark Reader.

    Same setup on Windows desktop and my Android devices.

    I've noticed videos stopping and buffering after the first few seconds, but not always, and seemingly less so again. It was acceptable to me.

  • Ads get shown because they're paid. Regular posts compete with all other posts, and user filters and subscriptions.

  • the relevant quote:

    it's about these special tax breaks that these companies can take in the immediate aftermath of a merger. So the company expects to write off something up to $3.5 billion connected to content costs as a result. And part of getting that tax benefit means they have to pull some of these shows from the service

  • I do. Unfortunately, I don't have many opportunities to do so. Which may be the reason why people don't say megameter.
