I'm mostly only using CCWGTV, both the original 4k model and the budget 1080p one. Neither have performance issues for me (except before filtering out 4k releases on the 1080p model)
I'm just aiming for the simplest/smoothest experience as possible, not so much for myself but so that I can mail it out to my mum who lives out in the bush and just tell her to enter her wifi password and open kodi. She's able to manage from there without having to worry about hdr/dv content compatibility with her display, or default audio language/subtitle display etc.
In kodi you can edit settings.xml for IPTV Simple Client addon to point playlist items to a given category in Seren, make a playlist linking to those categories a favourite, and configure Kodi to open to the favourites menu on launch. That way she has a fully on-rails and custom experience based on her preferences from the point that she runs it.
I've heard good things about Stremio + Torrentio. Does it have trakt integration or similar equivalent? I think the discovery in addons that have this makes a big difference. I have many different categories to browse that might sound similar, e.g. Trending, Trending New, Most Watched, Most Popular. But each one has a specific and plainly disclosed ranking methodology and that's very useful to avoid constantly being recommended to watch The Office, Breaking Bad, cowboy soaps etc
Pay for real-debrid and set up a kodi addon like Seren on a streaming box. You'll get an equivalent experience to paid/official streaming platforms without having to pay for them all, including browsing popular shows without having to download them ahead of time or manage a home server. It's still torrenting under the hood, just a lot more convenient
Have you seen the dashboard on a Tesla? It's a big tablet and that's it. Many of the basic controls you might need easy access to are hidden behind touchscreen menus. They need to pump it with features to prevent people from thinking too much about it
It also explicitly states in the posted screengrab that the opting-out user's workspace won't contribute to the underlying models. How would that be separate from using info on their workspace as training data for any kind of model? My interpretation of that is the data would be used to inference on the models, not train them.
They'd still resolve via DNS to an address in ASCII though, right? Wouldn't that only be an issue if ICANN didn't have a monopoly on DNS registration? i.e what we already depend on for a semblance of convenience without totally compromising opsec
You're right that ads supported the model, but the model was also generally anarcho-communist in nature. That people wanted to experience it without ads was expected, and considered fine. It is fine.
Well, that'd be the mechanism of how GDPR protections are actioned, yes; but leaving themselves open to these ramifications broadly would be risky. I don't think it'd satisfy 'compliance' to ignore GDPR except upon request. Perhaps the issues with it are even more significant when using it as training data, given they're investing compute and potentially needing to re-train down the track.
Based on my understanding; de-identifying the dataset wouldn't be sufficient to be in compliance. That's actually how it worked prior to it for the most part, but I know companies largely ended up just re-identifying data by cross-referencing multiple de-identified datasets. That nullification forming part of the basis for GDPR protections being as comprehensive as they are.
There'd almost certainly be actors who previously deleted their content that later seek to verify whether it was later used to train any public AI.
Definitely fair to say I'm making some assumptions, but essentially I think at a certain point trying to use user-deleted content as a value add just becomes riskier than it's worth for a public company
Surely the use of user-deleted content as training data carries the same liabilities as reinstating it on the live site? I've checked my old content and it hasn't been reinstated. I'd assume such a dataset would inherently contain personal data protected by the right to erasure under GDPR, otherwise they'd use it for both purposes. If that is correct, regardless of how they filtered it, the data would be risky to use.
Perhaps the cumulative action of disenfranchised users could serve toward the result of both the devaluation of a dataset based on a future checkpoint, or reduction in average post quality leading to decreased popularity over time (if we assume content that is user-deleted en masse was useful, which I think is fair).
Agreed, but overall a good move to address separate and much simpler issue of predatory pricing (for the customer)
Heading to mother's day lunch right now, set menu for $89 per person. Except it's a 10% surcharge on Sundays, the only day that mother's day is, so that price isnt really true at all.
This in Aus which I'd normally argue has better common-sense policies such as requiring sales tax in the menu price
Originally it was literally a spoof of the US Woolworth's called Walworth's, then they realised under Aus law they could just use the original name
That's why In-N-Out does pop-ups in Aus for one day every few years, to protect their trademark. And also relates to why Hungry Jack's is just a Burger King franchise
Correct me if I'm wrong, but on PS5 you'll need to send individual images to a friend, to be able to download them from your chat session on the mobile app. Or on Xbox, you'll need to pay for OneDrive or it'll be removed after 90 days. Both more annoying from my perspective.
Good news, they have had a better fix for several years now. About a month after the PS5 came out, so what you described was possibly an actual factor in it.
As an Apple hater; Apple Music. Cheaper, good cross-platform frontends, more equitable to artists (though by no means satisfactorily so), has a Wrapped equivalent (though who actually cares). Maybe Spotify added something it doesn't have in the several years since I switched but, I doubt it
Under communism, sovereign authority is attributable. If you ask the US president, they'll say they have little power. If you ask senators, or congresspeople, or local representatives, the media, the bourgeoisie, neither do any of they wield power. Where authoritarianism occurs under capitalism, apparently no one is responsible for it. Under communism, it's directly attributable to communists.
Both are often authoritarian, but the argument that communists are more authoritarian is simply an easier one to make.
