To be fair there's no possible way they could downgrade from the old version.

It's for sure not a legitimate process.

DMCA doesn't entitle you to force a service that complies with DMCA requests down.

I thought the way they intended to handle it was pretty reasonable, but the idea that there is an actual obligation to scan content is disgusting.

As everyone knows, executive orders overrule the constitution. 👍👍👍

Like I said I use a controller. I don't think I'd do super well with touch controls.

There are some pretty cheap controllers you could fit on a keychain that might be a good option for someone who wants "real" mobile games for slightly longer stretches without carrying a big extra device around though.

The problem is that the actual use cases (which are still incredibly unreliable) don't justify even 1% of the investment or energy usage the market is spending on them. (Also, as you mentioned, there are actual approaches that are useful that aren't LLMs that are being starved by the stupid attempt at a magic bullet.)

It's hard to be positive about a simple, moderately useful technology when every person making money from it is lying through their teeth.

It's not.

But lying lets them defraud more investors.

There's no way they could pay to give you unlimited audiobooks with any kind of library at all.

You can get a library included with an Audible subscription, but it's pretty limited, mostly to their own stuff, or Everand has a limited library included with a subscription (but you only get the stuff you use their limited credit system on while you have an active subsctiption, so I cancelled once they switched models).

The only reasonable alternative to what Spotify has is not doing audiobooks.

Yes, it is?

Your rant doesn't make sense. Asking for suggestions because you're not OK with being spied on (especially when you're perfectly willing to absorb the hosting costs yourself or pay for a service that isn't hostile) is perfectly valid behavior.

TLDR: You set a donation amount, it uses your GitHub account and the projects you use and distributes it through their dependencies and the dependencies of dependencies. You can also customize to exclude or boost specific things.

Might be over-simplified, but that looks like the basic idea.

Actual researchers aren't the ones lying about LLMs. It's exclusively corporate people and people who have left research for corporate paychecks playing make believe that they resemble intelligence.

That said, the academic research space is also a giant mess and you should also take even peer reviewed papers with a grain of salt, because many can't be replicated and there is a good deal of actual fraud.

Smart TV hardware (and most software) is a dumpster fire.

To watch stuff?

I'm not as hooked on it as some. It feels kind of same-y over time, and the "it's poker" thing doesn't scratch any of the same itch as regular poker.

But it's sure as hell better than almost any "free" mobile game because it doesn't have a team of people special tailoring algorithms to decide when to cheat to make you win and when to cheat to screw you over in order to pull as much money as possible.

Indie PC games that charge money for a mobile port. I have stardew valley, binding of Isaac, balatro, slay the spire, monster train, on my phone. (Several are included with Apple Arcade, though I would definitely not subscribe to Arcade if it weren't included with my other stuff. Also I personally wouldn't play stardew or Isaac without a controller.)

If it's "free" it's almost always obscenely abusive. (There are a handful of exceptions, including some open source ones, but I couldn't name any off the top of my head.)

I'd love a shield replacement (even though it's pretty much fine), but how are you going to get streaming to work properly? Are you going to support all the DRM stuff platforms require to stream reasonable quality video in Linux?

I'm aware how fraud is defined.

(Spoiler: this isn't fraud anywhere relevant.)

You realize what he did is literally the only reason those coins exist?

Nobody was investing. This isn't taking a stock of an actual company and manipulating it to steal from shareholders. The only purpose of these coins is to play this bad game.

You clearly don't know what fraud is.

All shitcoins are idiotic gambling. The entire nonsense game is to be the one who sells their bullshit before everyone gets bored of it. Winning against everyone else playing the same stupid game isn't fraud.

What promises did he make?

Selling something that has no value for money to people who know it has no value isn't a scam.
