LLM is an excellent tool to increase your study efficiency. If…

…it’s not constantly making up shit and presenting it as facts, you mean. Right?

They also randomly delete albums and state increased playcount by AI as the reason for removal, and they also allow random dudes publishing remixes on your own artist profile, because there are no checks in place. You can just fill out the artist name in a text field and publish a song:

The artist KARRA recently made a video about it which went viral.
(She also made this meme release up top to prove how broken the system is.)

So fuck Spotify in every way you can. They don’t deserve the money, since they’re clearly doing nothing for the artists with it.

[Everyone liked that.]

(except the pro AI trolls, but they’re up for a rude awakening anyways)

The girl who plays Eleven looks like she’s 50 now

That’s what being Drake’s friend at the age of 14 (when he was 33) will do to you.

“You know we text – we just texted each other the other day and he was like “I miss you so much” and I was like “I miss you more”. He’s coming to Atlanta, so I’m definitely gonna go and see him and I’m so excited.”

Seven years later, and it’s still disgustæng.

Luckily, PHP times has ended

I guess I earn my living with nothing then. What an absurd take. PHP powers WordPress, Shopware, Typo3 and many other CMS systems and is still very strong. Especially in Europe.

(Apart from that, a lot of people shitting on PHP base it on outdated knowledge or have never used it at all. With modern OOP practices, you can write really clean code.)

So I badgerbadgerbadgerbadger which was the mushroom mushroom at the time.

Google has been been cracking down on installing .apk’s on your phone for years and they’re getting more and more aggressive about it. It’s not a question of if they’ll disallow it completely, but when.

It’s already extremely tedious. Back in the Android 2.3 days (oh, good old Gingerbread) you could just get an APK and install it, but those times are long gone.

Years ago they threated the developer of Total Commander to remove his app from the PlayStore unless he patched out an APK install feature, so he was forced to do that.

Now another example: Try to install eBay on a phone that is not passing device integrity. You can grab an APK and install it, but recent versions of the app will just complain about missing Google services and close themselves.

It’s one method at a time, slowly but surely, until Google fully controls the ecosystem. The intention behind that is pretty clear: They don’t want people to have AdAway and Revanced, they want money and user data.

Land of the free!*

*excluding free healthcare

That sounds more like your drive not being supported by LibreDrive. OP talked about expired beta keys, which is a current problem with makemkv.

Yes.

I gave in and bought makemkv yesterday. It just works.

Well…looks like my employer will have to buy me a Macbook soon.

there’s not a lot that non-Apple users can do with them

Oh, there is.
I am a web developer and I use this to run Safari and the iOS simulator without paying Apple’s “debugging tax”.

And depending on how OpenAI tweaked it this time it will either realize its mistake after being made aware of it or double down even harder on it.

I only use it for coding and it once told me my code not working was due to a bug in Webkit, so I asked it which bug specifically. It created links to bug reports but rewrote the titles of them. So initially it looked like it had numerous sources that backed up its statement but when I clicked on them those were bugs about totally different things.

It would not back down even after I specifically told it “You just made all of this shit up and even rewrote the titles” and got stuck in a loop of “I’m sorry, but you’re wrong and I am 100% sure I haven’t made a mistake”.

Kinda creepy. Especially when you think about the system rewriting reality when it comes to much more important things. Let’s just reinvent some history, that would be a good idea, right?

I’m sure most of the Germans will continue using their illegal adblockers. This ruling is ridiculous.

Yes, it’s really good! I still run it with proton, because I couldn’t find a good alternative on Linux. banshee is unmaintained (it was my favorite for a long time) and all others have their shortcomings in some way or another.

You shall not pass data!

Yep, apart from the bugs that really annoys me, too. To effectively debug an issue on iOS, you need an iPhone and connect it to a Mac (or iPad) to use the debug tools.

Every other browser can be run on a typical PC. You can even emulate Android, run Firefox and Chrome and just get cracking. I’m not getting paid to buy an expensive device to do my work, lol.

Michael MJD tested the AOL Desktop six months ago. It was surprisingly competent and got regular updates: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUsym8iAWHY

Websites won’t be tested properly on Safari anymore

They only have to be tested on Safari specifically, because it’s doing some things differently from Mozilla and Chrome. I guess Apple will finally have to use their money to actually fix those issues with their own engine, so people will prefer using it. Oh no, all of that hard-earned cash! /s

(As a web developer, I despise Safari, sometimes with passion. At least we finally got rid of IE and that non-Chrome Edge shitshow by now.)
