This right here is what really grinds my gears. When companies own an IP, refuse to do anything on it, and then engage in litigation when someone makes a fan-based project against that IP, or someone redistributes their IP that they’re no longer selling.

Either ride the horse or leave the stable.

chiming in, even excluding self host, I wouldn’t recommend wix, their sites are so bloated and take forever for me to load, and I’ve had Firefox just straight refuse to load pages before that are wix run.

This is me being selfish I’m fully aware, but I don’t want the EU to pull from those companies because it seems they’re the only countries willing to fight for the good causes and if they aren’t then the rest will suffer 10fold. At least in it’s current state it slowly feeds back to everyone else, I’m concerned if they pull the plug it’ll be full on anti-comsumer hellscape.

he probably shared the same ideology as op as doesn’t believe it will be signed.

omg don’t get me started on this.

My grandparents are avid Red Sox fans, but they were paying 150$+ a month on cable, so I moved them to fubo, this worked for a few years but now it seems that they are trying to throw them on as many channels as possible to force a higher package. Last year he asked me what apple tv was, and I said a streaming service, why? and he said that they had a game on it that /only/ was on apple tv. it was a SINGLE GAME and they had exclusive broadcast rights on it. Needless to say he missed that game, but that’s ridiculous.

I mean fair, but when Encrypted DM went live, Twitter was just starting to get into the AI field, and it was amidst a very uncertain state at that time, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they haden’t even thought of it.

I vet lesser known projects, but yea I do end up just taking credibility for granted for larger projects. I assume that with those projects, the maintainers team with pull access is doing that vetting before they accept a pull.

that is my first thought as well.

“Shoot we didn’t take into consideration that GROK will need to be able to see these somehow, so now we need to redo it”

I’m not for the US gov or politics getting involved in legal issues, however the music industry must lose this lawsuit no matter what.

The precedent it will cause many people to be effected that wouldn’t be normally, AND also forces a punishment that isn’t equal to the crime.

We live in a world that very much requires internet to do anything, this judgement would force people to go offline for potential IP(Intellectual Property) issues. That punishment is exponentially higher than what the crime actually was. It’s life ruining.

This isn’t the same as “oh you sold modified game hardware to people so you can no longer touch that game system”, this is “you may have stole music, so therefore you are losing your ability to do anything digital”. Even if the accusation is true, considering how much of the world is digital now, and how few ISP options are available in areas due to legal constraints, this is not a fair punishment to give. A fair punishment is a fine and a ban from being allowed to hold that producers IP. It’s a severe overstep to remove someones access to the internet for an IP violation and I fully agree it is not the responsibility of the ISP

Honestly, this is the digital equivalent of doing a house arrest for someone stealing music from a store. It isn’t right.

I feel like the Interloper project addressed something similar to this. Man that’s a great rabbit hole.

Most if not all 4k players are network enabled due to the DRM that is on the 4k medium. From my experiences, they usually need to connect to the internet to download the keys at least once before anything 4k works. DVD and BD usually work without issue though.

usually bluray and 4k players need to connect to the internet at least once in order to download the codecs, but like yea I disconnect mine from the internet right after

pocket I never used. I found it ugly and just s violation of privacy as it moved a service that should be local only, to external webservers. I can see why it’s finally had the plug pulled

I’m fully okay with them doing so, but they have to disclose what they’re doing so. Like the fact that the review didn’t disclose that they were an employee is very sketchy to me.

what is the benefit of this, it seems like it just adds an automation layer that could fail that might be able to potentially be used as an assistant?
