Meta trained and published the model but it’s an open model. I’m not an expert but I don’t believe it’s sharing data with Meta since it’s just the model they trained, you can download it and run it offline. You’re just using the output of all the training they did on your own compute.

Yeah it was 2006 and that was how you got the MP3 files onto your iPod Nano. This was back when “mobile internet” consisted of “m.website.com” links that loaded a page without a style sheet at dial-up speeds that was designed to be navigated with a D-pad.

The year was 2006, and the 80 GB HDD in my Dell Optiplex 790 was full of podcasts, stolen music, and episodes of Dr. Who…

ITT people trying to be edgy but I’m going to say invading Russia in the winter.

This is why they removed the apps. They want to be driving traffic through the app, and the 3rd party apps prevented that from happening.

If anything, the regulations that mandate that Rogers/Bell need to wholesale bandwidth on their networks helps startup ISPs. Gimme more of that.

Especially given the lack of ways to really differentiate your product, it was bound to become increasingly commodified and end up with a few producers who manage to operate efficiently and the rest going under.

Honestly I’d kinda be glad if, when I go to the store, I’m not met with 65 completely identical options and have to explain to the pot sommelier that I just would like some pot please, and that the 16 creative adjectives that have been affixed to the front of the word “preroll” are largely inconsequential to me.

Honestly the way I always look at it is just take the lifetime cost and divide it by the yearly cost and if I think the product/license deal will exist for that long (and I’ll use it for that long) it’s worth it otherwise not. Like, I have lifetime Plex and frankly I don’t expect the, to exist forever but I like the premium features and I’ve had lifetime for long enough that I’ve saved money.

Not mine but my partner’s machine (which I build and largely maintain for her) is a custom Debian install on ZFS root using ZFS boot menu and running a custom minimal i3 desktop environment.
