Let’s not forget the unmentioned income thanks to gathering all that user data.

The real value of Youtube (and social medias in general) is not the raw revenue they generate.

It’s being able to be able to predict what will trend in advance to sell ads to anyone, anywhere. Which is proven by their 200+ billions in revenue from ads from all services.

It’s extremely likely that in an alternate universe where Google doesn’t own YouTube, their profit today is lower than what they currently have.

But like you said, poor YouTube is not making money explicitly on its own so they’ll use it to justify any cost increase attempt when they already know what the real money maker is.

Generating a large amount of utterances to train your cloud service language model for a bot because I’m sure not writing hundreds of utterances all asking the same thing.

For development, I have a single image per project tagged “dev” running locally in WSL that I overwrite over and over again.

For real builds, I use pipelines on my Azure DevOps server to build the image on an agent using a remote buildkit container and push it in my internal repository. All 3 components hosted in the same kubernetes cluster.

They could implement restrictions to block VPN traffic. But that would be repealed as fast as it came when these very congressmen would phone angrily their district on why they can work from their million dollar home anymore.

Support: Sorry VPNs are now blocked and you cannot work remotely without them

Congressman: Who are the idiots that voted for these laws

Support: Well, you and your friends

It’s fine. He just exchanged trademarks with Egosoft https://twitter.com/EGOSOFT/status/1683477783584858115 so he is in the clear 👍

In addition to what the other commenter said, Mozilla doesn’t have the will to improve Firefox into a market contender.

They get a lot of free money from their competitors to prevent legislations from attacking chromium for market monopoly which makes them prioritize making Google happy more than their users.

They also have very controversial opinions regarding actual useful features such as progressive web apps (where support was given exclusively on Android but after a lot of complains). You can’t make your browser into a market contender if you act like Safari on PC.

10 years ago when we had a 3 way market, Mozilla actually cared about making a good product.

Nowadays, they are just Google’s shell company to keep Chrome’s dominance away from the anti-competivity law suits.

If it is using chatgpt as a backend, my guess is that they are using Azure OpenAI and know what they are doing.

Azure OpenAI allows you to turn off abuse monitoring and content filtering if you have legitimate reasons to do so.

It would be very hard for a malicious actor to get the approval to turn off both using a front company. But if one would manage to do it, they could create such malicious chatGPT service with little to no chance to be found out.

No. Kbin is it’s own seperate project and software https://github.com/ernestwisniewski/kbin

How is that a rip off? You pay 20€ once and get the ability to sideload any UWP app and develop for the console.

Compare it to both Nintendo and Sony where:

• You have to pay multiple times the price of the console for the dev kit
• You don’t own said dev kit
• Their SDKs are not publicly accessible
• You have to sign multiple NDAs on top of all those issues
• Assuming you have no problem with all this, you can be rejected as a developer for any reason

Considering how locked consoles were and still are (Except for the PS3 “other OS”) period. Being able to get a decent current gen console, that doubles as an emulator, with development capabilities for an additional 20 euros is a gift, not a rip-off.

Thank you for the information I’ll definitely check that out.

In addition, Facebook already had support for XMPP at some point in time but killed it.

Why? Because they couldn’t dry users off other platforms after Google closed their own support for XMPP.

Even if Meta “play nice”, we already know their aim. Siphon users off mastodon and then remove activityPub support when most servers are on life support from loss of users.

Show them this video and tell them this is what happens when you neglect your teeths. https://libreddit.domain.glass/r/popping/comments/py6qlw/teeth_cleaning_i_feel_this_was_the_most/

Nearly nobody will get a mouth that bad if they at least care to look at their teeths from time to time and have a basic hygiene, both dietary and oral.

But to at least get them interested, this video does the work really well.

(The video shows removal of a massive plaque of tartar. So I don’t recommend anyone uncomfortable, with looking at the inside of mouths and with seeing some bleeding, to watch this video)

It’s really good. There are some issues here and there like some games not launching when using upscaling or some non default settings.

But otherwise, most games run on it and better than on PS3 with recent CPUs.

Probably the best one I have found so far.

By the way, do you have any plan to expose an API or daily extract of the data you have?

While those websites are useful for manual searches, I think it would benefit the feddiverse much more if there was a way to integrate all those lists into an app. At least without resorting to web scrapping.
