How anti-semetic of them. Don't they know you can't do that?

Lol, it's still got hundreds of thousands playing.

Theres some angry outrage for sure, but it don't think it's gonna wind up that bad in the end.

It's annoying, but it's like an Origin account for an EA game or something. At least with crossplay, having one admin team to manage bans on both platforms makes sense to streamline things.

Not ignoring the issue and advocating to regulation and breakup of companies that carry this level of power.

Because not buying apple does literally less than nothing to stop them when they are out there potentially purchasing entire movie studios and chipfabricators.

What, you're never going to watch movies that Apple (later) owns, and avoid using any tech product that an Apple Silicon fab created?

No you aren't, because how would you know unless you're obsessively tracking all the subbrands and shell companies.

Okay you're either missing the point that those platforms extend beyond Apple products, or willfully ignoring that.

Apple has spread its network wide, same as Amazon and Disney.

"jusy don't buy from them" seriously misunderstands how wide their reach is.

Cool.

How do you like the fact that Apple news on iOS affects headlines for literally everyone due to visibility on iOS, and thus will still affect you.

Or that their ownership of AppleTV and now Apple+ puts them in direct position to edit that speech, even if you see it elsewhere and don't know Apple did it.

That's the point. They're huge.

I am glad there are other players in the market but the user experience was just miserable for me. Between the lack of buttons for all the climate control and the error messages, as well as subpar android auto support in favor of their own janky android OS (not great for rentals).

Maybe Polestar 3 will fix all this. Maybe.

No buttons for climate control / fans, and Android auto on it is also kinda jank.

Fucking good. Long overdue.

I love some EVs, but I drove a Polestar 2 and a Model 3 on road trips for work in California. Never again. The nighttime driving experience is miserable imo, and the issues with the lack of stalks and buttons is real.

The Polestar is the only car to ever make me so angry I had to pull over. It had some kind of sensor issue, and decided the right way to notify my at 80mph on the highway was to A) cover my gate cluster with the error notification B) disengage my cruise control suddenly, at 80mph, and C) begin beeping.

I almost drove my rental into the Pacific Ocean out of spite.

It's an older Kickstart Ed title, but has good bones. It's just got some rough edges.

First time I accidentally click on one of these I'm going to shit thst post up so hard.

Again, this is why this law was such a big deal. Prior to this you were correct. Thanks to the DMA, you are wrong. Firefox will be running Gecko, and Vivaldi, Brave, Chrome, etc are allowed to ship their flavors of chromium.

You can doubt all you want, but devs have had functioning alternative engines in dev environments for ages. Apple just would not allow them.

Yes, but this is more about mitigating the spread of CSAM. And my feeling was it's going to become somewhat impossible soon. AI generated porn is starting to flood the market and this chat it is also one of those "smart" attempts to mitigate this behavior. I'm saying that very soon, it will be something users don't have to go anywhere to get if the model can just fabricate it out of thin air, so the chat it mitigation is only temporary, and the dark web of actual CSAM material will become overwhelmed and swamped in artificially generating new tidal waves of artificial CP. So it's an alarming ethical dilemma we are on the horizon of that we need to think about.

True. For obvious reasons I haven't looked too deeply down that rabbit hole because RIP my search history, but I kind of assumed it would be soon. I'm thinking more specifically about models like SORA though. Where you could feed it enough input, then type a sentence to get video content. That is going to be a different level of darkness.

You should probably research the phrase "protest too much" and the word "schtick" then.

I'm not trying to clutch pearls here, as another poster here commented this isn't a theoretical concern.

So your takeaway is I'm.... Against AI generative images and thus I "protest too much"

I can't tell if you're pro AI and dislike me, or pro loli hentai and thus dislike.

Dude, AI images and AI video are inevitable. To pretend that does have huge effects on society is stupid. It's going to reshape all news media, very quickly. If reddit is 99% AI generated bot spam garbage with no verification of what is authentic, reddit is functionally dead, and we are on a train with no brakes in that direction for most public forums.

This is one of the more horrifying features of the future of generative AI.

There is literally no stopping it at this stage: AI generated CSAM will be possible soon thanks to systems like SORA.

This is disgusting and awful. But one part of me hopes it can end the black market of real CSAM content forever. By flooding it with infinite fakes, users with that sickness can look at something that didn't come from a real child's suffering. It's the darkest of silver linings I think, but I spoke with many sexual abuse survivors who feel the same about the loli hentai in Japan, in that it could be an outlet for these individuals instead of them finding their own.

Dark topics. But I hope to see more actions like this in the future. If pedos can self isolate from IRL interactions and curb their ways with content that harms no one, then everyone wins.

I read about this, and it's the ads. Full wall animated ads.

I also instantly predicted this obvious outcome. And hope it happens go any place that installs them. Fuck billboards invading every inch of our lives.

This is the illegal part. Firing them because they unionized.

It's almost certain they can prove Google still needs these positions and the firing was motivated by this corrupt motive, not a business decision.

That is not how the animation industry works, at all. Most creative art positions require demo reels and portfolios. But sure would be nice if animators were that valued a recruiter would hunt usenet for their old pirate samples.

Also worth nothing, especially in animation, your cuts in an episode are often going to be various 10 second shots spread between multiple episodes across a season. That's why demo reels make sense.
