  • FOMO, popularity and trending algorithms are powerful forces.

  • Don't think it's bot farming. There's a lot of muscle being thrown around and it's trending.

  • Personally hoping this opens the door to discussing planned obsolescence in the digital realm as a whole, from games to software. It's corporate wild west over here.

  • Petition: Bring the Affinity Suite to Linux - Please sign it!

    Jump

  • Sigh, it would be nice to have this petition before Affinity sold their soul to Canva. Oh well.

  • Mozilla's New AI Detector Add-On for Firefox

    Jump

  • I like the idea of a general AI detection approach. Problem is that it's very easy to get false positives depending on the writer's personal style. Accusing garbage of being garbage does nothing, but falsely accusing an individual of using AI when none is used will just lead to harmful witch hunt behavior.

    Also, putting your trust in a flawed tool like this, which might miss actual AI written speech (or human bullshit speech) will just give a false sense of security.

    Be careful out there fine folks. The unscrupulous used to lie using just humans, now they also use robots to do it.

  • Europe - Preserving Games Petition now up!

    Jump

  • Oh ho... No, you're not the only one I'm afraid. It was fine until a couple hours ago, the newest comments confirm it so. Not sure what's going on.

    Hopefully Ross figures it out and it goes back up soon. Thanks for the interest!

    EDIT: It's back up.

  • Europe - Preserving Games Petition now up!

    Jump

  • Hey folks, just sharing the message. I believe it's related to piracy as it frequently comes into contact with the preservation of media. As whatever is DRM Free and capable of working offline, is effectively able to last indefinitely.

    If you're European and eligible, please consider.

    Cheers

  • Vimms Lair is getting removal notices from Nintendo etc. We need someone to help make a rom pack archive can you help?

  • I know you mean this is as joke, but oddly enough, Pitfall, by Activision is still available!

  • Not sure, but the blast radius is tremendous, even games from the Atari 2600, a console released nearly fifty fucking years ago have been taken down.

  • FOSS keyboard under active development? (Android)

    Jump

  • Been using it as well. It requires practice, but it does feel like a better typing experience for a mobile device.

    Post-Usenet Pirate wants to know how they can access Usenet

  • Pirating AI models

    Jump

  • Tip for anyone over here who wants to ask GPT-4 questions on the cheap. Applying for access to their API will give you access to both chat GPT 3.5 as well as GPT-4 with a different interface. There you pay what you use, which is insanely cheaper with GPT-3.5, and... mildly affordable with GPT-4 so long as you keep contexts short and conversations brief.

    Been making use of their playground for months now, probably paid 20 bucks tops for months of use. Worked for my case.

    If I need creativity without intelligence, I'll just use WIzardLM on my 3090.

    Do note "Pirating AIs" is not really practical due to the extreme hardware requirements, you'll hardly find someone willing to foot the bill for free.

  • Open source alternatives for gallery app

  • Pardon me if I may inquire, but how exactly does Xiaomi's gallery fail, at being a gallery application? Morbid curiosity if you will.

  • Copyright lawsuits against Meta and OpenAI mention shadow libraries, including Library Genesis, as sources of training data

    Jump

  • Absolutely peeved that according to laws: Libraries in a digital format literally cannot exist without being illegal. Archive.org only managed to exist as a Library because they enforced DRM which limited available rentals to the books they "bought" and had copies of.

    This is because physical Libraries allow you to borrow their own copies, thus you can even read copyrighted material without asking for permission from the rights holder. So they could argue in court that the DRM only emulated the real thing.

    Come COVID and they decide to be nice to people by temporarily stripping the rental bullocks. Their reward for a good deed is a sledgehammer to the stomach.

    It matters not, books shall be, and remain forever free (For those that need them). One way or another. All I know is that I'll never buy a book if I'm treated as a criminal.

  • What is your GUI of choice for yt-dlp ?

  • I use a couple .bat files that I pre-wrote. Good enough for 95% of my needs.
