Played around for 30 minutes and it's kinda underwhelming. It works and is pleasant to use but it's very simple and doesn't really do anything any slides software from 10 years ago couldn't do.

While I agree I feel it's kinda poetic that Japan is notoriously ok with Nintendo and Sony putting people in prison and has done absolutely nothing about it.

Despite your snark - you'll never win an argument where trusting a for profit corporation is some sort of win over transparent secure system. Yes Apple might be better of the lesser evils but is this really where us as a privileged cla

Apple's marketing and branding is truly impressive when even Hackernews crowd, who'd you assume are very tech savvy, are eating it up all of the propaganda.

RAM is literally the cheapest primary component in a laptop at going rate of 1-4usd/GB. I'd say that shipping 8GB base model in 2024 is clearly manipulation by Apple, i.e. planned obsolescence or a way to moat Apple software. Anyo

I think it's hard to say that Tesla products are at fault here when Tesla has been clearly setup to grow Chinese EV industry and now can't compete due to Chinese regulations, subsidies and a massive campaign to promote Chinese car

> China is VWs biggest market Yes but for how long? China was very successful at baiting Tesla and raising their own EV industry. If anything it's proving that businesses can't rely on Chinese markets even without a trade war.

> child into location, behavior and health surveillance I'd argue that children have less stake in privacy than adults. How Google knowing location of my kids could possibly affect them?

I figured it out after reading the half of their ad and navigating around their website where the platform isn't mentioned anywhere explicitly. Of course I'm mad for having my time wasted. This opaque obscurity feels almost like a

Nah all software should be multi platform if possible. Locking programs in to some specific brand is just silly and you don't even need to be a open software extremist to acknowledge that. Also not mentioning the platform anywhere in t

I wish titles on HN would clarify the platform for limited releases like this. This is iOS exclusive.

It's quite a common pattern in saas. Someone gets through automated ToS checks with some niche use case and escalates some unrelated issue to support which triggers manual ToS review. That being said, a corporation as big as CF with 12

We loved them when backpacking through Japan in early spring. The whole modular bathroom culture was super convenient as every place had a predictable, clean bathroom with core amenities that always felt cozy and welcoming.

Could you clarify what's missing with this kwin script? The only thing I see is that window stacking doesn't work on wayland. Personally, I've given up of controlling all pieces of my DE like setting up busses and keyboard sh

I've never been exposed to non-US content on Bluesky unlike Mastodon where it's a melting pot from every possible niche and location. To me it seems like Mastodon's focus on hashtags as discovery mechanism won hard in this sp

Thank you for the recommendation. Just installed karousel on Plasma 6 and it works wonderfully part for really weird default keyboard shortcuts. Nothing a few minutes in the settings panel couldn't fix. I'm not exactly sold on the

KDE connect is trully magical and works on every operating system and has been a core program on every device in our household.

I agree, HN appears trully dystopian sometimes. We used to go to our IT teacher after school to help us find programming exercises because access was so hard. It's not some sort of exception either, kids would actively reach out for mo

It's super american-centric too. For a "decentralized" platform that basically covers 2 small areas of the world is not a good sign. I feel like Bluesky had done nothing to address discoverability and sharing issues. Most eng

You're building a strawman here. The topic is whether information access is more important in our society than IP protection and the answer is big yes no matter how you look at it and I don't see you ever winning this argument. Ta

Just because LLMs only really existed for a year now and it's still the fastest adopted new tech we ever had. Even iphone took longer to adopt. It'll take time for LLMs to lodge into direct use and thus the move to voice chat by o

Yet every single person uses an AI assistant every day when they Google something or ask their phone for who performs the song that's playing in the background. You must know some of these people?

Why? The data clearly points that nobody will go out of their way to protect IP laws. In majority of the world nobody could care less about some hollywood actor with tough to spell name getting their voice cloned. It's really weird tha

This sort of copyright seems completely unethical to me. We have 8 billion people, probability of unique voice and intonation is extremely unlikely. Imagine someone else owning your voice. Someone much richer and more powerful. No entertain

That's a fundamental flaw with this sort of copyright. First come first serve and it's up to courts to "asign rights" so if you don't have that tough luck someone else owns your identity because their bigger. People

I feel that this is a classic tale of success getting to you. It almost feels like it's impossible to be successful at this level and remain true. At least, I hadn't seen it yet.

I think majority agrees that we're ok with a few millionaire priviledge actors losing small amount of their value in favor of personal AI assistants for general populace. How is that even a topic worth discussing is trully perplexing.

> They stole someone’s voice after being told not to? Stole someone's voice? That's not stealing, let's not pump more power for copyright propaganda even if this case is correct.
