Google pays Firefox a lot of cash to be the default search engine on their browser.

If your ublock is up to date it still works fine.

Yup, same here. Youtube broke something so you’ll have to wait for an update. Grayjay is still working for me if you need another app to see videos.

Listen, I love the IA and everything they stand for, but they’re not winning this. They fucked up and gave away copyrighted content, for free, in unlimited amounts during covid. They then proceed to melt down in court because they know it’s impossible to win. Now they’re seeking empathy from everyone and not talking about why they got sued - which is giving away potentially millions of copies of other people’s work…

Be aware OP that local LLMs are quite a bit worse than what’s available online. Llama 3 is (probably?) the best one available now and even that has a habit of being very stupid sometimes compared to claude or chatgpt.

Inbetween all the garbage spam about AI I almost missed this was actually a post announcing laptops with the new Snapdragon chips. It’ll be interesting to see performance on windows ARM when they release next month

They really fucked up and it’s so heartwrenching watching it all happen. I was following the story since it started and I just can’t believe they allowed anyone to download copyrighted books without a limit in 2020, without asking anyone for permission or whether it’s legally viable. Everyone knew they were losing this, and they gave publishers a convincing reason to sue them. by crossing the “legally grey” area to literal piracy.

FWIW, OpenLibrary is a good source of book metadata at least, even if it fails its goal of letting people read books on it.

E-mailed the dev asking for one

https://tildes.net/ , it’s not super active but it’s my second option.

Oh sweet. I thought Newpipe stopped development to work on a rewrite, or am I misremembering? Either way, nice to see comments working again.

We’re going to need strong digital signatures on everything

That won’t help anything considering how easy it is to strip metadata.

That lip sync is scary good. It’s still a little off, the teeth are weirdly stretchy, but nobody would notice it’s a deepfake on first glance.

Seems very similar to Nvidia’s idea of only having a moving photo for video calls to reduce bandwidth needed. Very nice.

I’ve been using it via the LibRedirect extension for a while now and it’s great. Feels a lot more reliable than LibReddit ever was.

I believe most of libreddit stopped working, but redlib works great (which is basically just a continuation of that)

That’s awesome, I spent a day fighting with Latex to edit awesomecv without causing errors or breaking the template. Really hope Typst takes off.

I can only see the image though, not the link to your project

You laugh but there’s actually a very big and active piracy community on Telegram sharing videos

Least insane apple fanboy

If you’d read the article it’s about Apple intentionally imposing restrictions that nobody else does, like not allowing getting apps out of their store and putting roadblocks for Android to support things like their messenger

The case is that they’re abusing their market lead by forcing people to stay on iPhones, all these restrictions Android/Google DOESN’T do

“We have really good intentions, that’s why we’re working for a company that’s been involved in at least two dozen scandals and breaches of user privacy. I’m sure they won’t do it again.”

Someone bring up that one xkcd strip.

This looks pretty polished though.

Claims don’t make any sense if there isn’t any benchmark.
