Didn’t they nationalized all oil fields and kicked out all western companies like 10 years ago?

Interesting that he goes to a church with a pastor. He likely isn’t Mormon.

“We reached out to itch.io” aka we called his mom.

My biggest pet peeve is that they sell you a service, at a certain speed, that you can only use for like 50 hours a month…

Yes, thank you. It looks like the backslash just escapes the character??

Privacy =!= Protection from legal action

If you use your iPhone to conduct illicit business, the police can subpoena Apple and it will hand over your data (at least in the US).

Privacy in this context means preventing other apps from selling your data to brokers (e.g., location data) or using your phone information to do other stuff (e.g., AI training).

This 🔝

Berlusconi had a similar political appeal. After he exited politics, his party went to the biggest in Italy to insignificant.

It will be really difficult for someone to pick up the Republican Party and run with the same platform as DJT. Many have tried it (e.g. de santis) but none is able to have the same success.

Maybe it’s time to go to the court house and change their name to Lua?

One that builds tractors? Italian “automotive” industry in the 1910s was pretty much all tied to agricultural machines.

Of course. He is only a chatting predator or pedofile.

/s btw. I don’t know anything about the situation

Here is the salient point on the Wikipedia page that explains why horses don’t produce 1 HP:

Watt judged that the horse could pull with a force of 180 pounds-force (800 N)

Basically, Watts made up HP to sell his steam engine to mines and likely made up a number to make the new technology seem better.

Some things never change.

These models are mad libs machines. They just decide on the next word based on input and training. As such, there isn’t a solution to stopping hallucinations.

OP has a longer active streak on Reddit than Lemny as of now. SMH.

Proton is just a company and would always give in to legal requests and all other companies and any email provider would do the same

It’s amazing how people easily forget about lavabit and what a company that is committed to real privacy is about.

This is going to be like the self checkout lanes at the store but for creative jobs.

At the end of the day, a company will be able to produce the same output with fewer people. Some stuff will be of lower quality, just like sometimes people spend time on Lemmy and then phone in some crappy work.

We’ll, strictly speaking you could have an AI that only knows about the world up to 1928 and talks like it’s 1928.

I just hope it’s not just a way to get users then close back up the platforms once they have enough users.

Was it 80% off by any chance?

How much money would they want to skim to distribute the music? 33-66 split doesn’t sound so bad considered that they don’t produce the music, sign artist, promote them, etc

They can always start their own label if they believe that vertical integration will be more profitable for them.

They tried that with podcasts and it didn’t go as planned

They decided to pay wholesale prices for electricity sold back to the grid instead of residential prices. That means that any excess power sold goes from around 33 cents to 6 cents, meaning that most people won’t see a change in their bills after installing solar because most households use power at night when there is no sun. This leads to people just not installing solar panels anymore.
