I would like to see 8K for movies in cinema, especially for remasters/digitizations from existing film negatives and archival purposes.

While I wouldn’t say no to it, 8K on a TV under 75" is not going to add much value to the average consumer.

Right, exactly. It also takes 3-4 seconds to load in which time I could have just middle clicked and loaded it in the background. Maybe on mobile I’d use it but only in rare circumstances.

What exactly are the AI features everyone is talking about? The only one I’ve encountered is the “long click to preview link” and it’s… not super useful but far from annoying like Copilot.

He seems to be active in replies to his own posts. I recall him being frustrated by a lack of tools available for high follower accounts like they apparently offer on Twitter.

This was an unusual (For Alec) and remarkable episode. I found it very inspiring. Also Alec is one of the few YouTubers I know of on Fedi. @TechConnectify@mas.to

wow 9/11 changed everything

No a pro-piracy argument, but most artists get fractions of a penny from the sales of media anyway. Only the biggest stars are paid a fair share of the profits. I always try to find a way to support directly or use a platform (bandcamp, steam) that adds some value and gives a majority to the creator.

From ArsTechnica:

According to DuckDuckGo, chats on the service are anonymized, with metadata and IP address removed to prevent tracing back to individuals. The company states that chats are not used for AI model training, citing its privacy policy and terms of use.

“We have agreements in place with all model providers to ensure that any saved chats are completely deleted by the providers within 30 days,” says DuckDuckGo, “and that none of the chats made on our platform can be used to train or improve the models.”

So there is some trust involved, but I’m inclined to believe DDG.

I understand what you’re saying, but what you want (conformity of UIs) is just not possible to enforce on a decentralized network.

Yeah, it also doesn’t address the Concerned™ poster.

How delightfully European Union of them to debate debate debate in the face of a looming crisis.

Yes Lemmy has a lot of improving to do, but I’m not seeing many other alternatives!

I disagree that having a variety of UIs is a bad thing. I wouldn’t want every instance to look like dbzero! It also highlights that Lemmy is not a single platform, it’s a federation of them. Heck even reddit has two UIs!

Not a mod but from what you’ve said it sounds like your post was satirical, which violates the “on topic” rule.

For what it’s worth, THIS thread violates that rule too.

The topic of this post is that a company is charging money for altering what was previously not a restricted feature. That violates the third rule in the sidebar.

I agree OP has a right to be upset, but this post has nothing to do with privacy.

There’s no need to get upset. If you truly are having difficulty understanding my feelings on the topic and are asking in good faith, I’ll explain it one more time:

The topic of this post is that a company is charging money for it’s services. That violates the third rule in the sidebar.

Whatever mine or your feelings on the topic, it has nothing to do with privacy.

It’s empty venting, and the topic is not about privacy in a meaningful capacity, it’s about a business model.

Allowing venting/drama/gossip threads in a community over time will push out the people (like myself) who care about the actual community topic. And when those people are gone what’s left is a cesspit.

Hey mods just saying… I think a lot of us would appreciate having a rule against offtopic posts.

Toyota boot screen! Love it.

Yeah, it sucks because LibreELEC is the only way I’ve ever got HDMI-CEC to work. There are some nice skins too. In a different life, perhaps.

There is with Reddit! If you browse enough old posts you’ll inevitably come across a profile who’s history entirely consists of “I’ve quit and gone to Lemmy”.
