I mean… It probably is. It’s accessing the copyrighted content outside of the terms of the license provided by the copyright owner.
But that shows more how broken the copyright system is than anything when piracy has such a low bar.
Fundamentally what YouTube is doing is an unprofitable model. Google bought them when they were in their “we can solve internet unprofitability with scale and more efficient data centres!” phase, but that has never really gone as planned for YouTube.
For a while I was very hopeful that YouTube Premium would solve that, but as they started removing features and making it an overall worse experience it became no longer worth the money. I don’t have an answer to this. If I did I could probably make a lot of money on that answer. What I do know, however, is that Google’s answer isn’t the right one.
I believe this is related to that, yeah.
I wonder how quickly Apple would come up with new bullshit if apps started providing an interstitial page with a breakdown.

Which is kinda ridiculous since Apple’s practices are what Google does but worse.
On Android you can distribute your app through the Play Store without being forced to use Google’s in-app purchases. For example: Patreon.
You’re not wrong about Google Play, but Apple’s behaviour is objectively worse.

It would, but I already have several dev boards I use in that configuration. What I’m looking for now is something I can take with me to use as a semi-daily driver so I can start reporting bugs in real world use cases.
I’m considering it as a second laptop option, but I have a particular niche use case: I’m a developer who writes developer tools and is currently trying to ensure we have first-class RISC-V support.
This is probably what I’ll go for if I buy in the next month though: https://liliputing.com/dc-roma-laptop-ii-packs-an-octa-core-risc-v-processor-16gb-of-ram-and-ubuntu-linux/
Steam for Linux only has x86 builds right now and wine only translates system calls, so by default they won’t work.
There are ways to get them to work though, but they mostly involve emulating x86. Given the performance of the current state of the art in RISC-V, that won’t exactly go well right now.
That said, that’s not what this machine is for at all. As a software developer working on developer tools for Linux, this is particularly interesting to me as a way to improve the Linux RISC-V ecosystem while dogfooding my own stuff.

Good faith
Lol good one!
I use Firefox as my daily browser, but I tried the manifest v3 based uBlock experiment in Chrome and honestly I couldn’t tell the difference between it and the regular uBlock.
I welcome people switching over, but I don’t think this is anywhere near the killing blow to adblocking people think it is.
You too, huh?
Yep. On Android there’s also a Lockdown mode that you can enter through the power menu when you need to turn off biometrics for the next unlock. Set a strong password. Use biometrics when you need to keep out a casual intruder, and password when you need to keep out a major intruder.

And just to note, the same is true of iMessage & Apple.
Y’know, as long as she’s open about it that would be a great use of the tech.
Build an AI that will flag immoral ads and potentially lose you revenue
Build an AI to say you’re using AI to moderate ads but it somehow misses the most profitable bad actors
Which do you think Meta is doing?
Theoretically any of these apps could be used with consent.
In practice I can’t imagine that would be a particularly large part of their market…
For me in particular I’m a software developer who works on developer tools, so I have a lot of tests running in VMs so I can test on different operating systems. I just finished running a test suite that used up over 50 gigs of RAM for a dozen VMs.
