SeriousBug@infosec.pubto Technology@beehaw.org•YouTube is axing its ad-free Premium Lite subscription plan - The VergeEnglish4·2 years agoYeah I mostly open Nebula when I’m watching a video, and the creator says “I had to censor this on YouTube, you can get the full version on Nebula”

That was the most awesome part of OkCupid. Because you not only answered the questions but you could pick if you cared what your potential matches answers should be.
I met my wife on OkCupid, we were a high % match according to OkCupid and we did turn out to be a great match. That’s stupid if they got rid of that.
SeriousBug@infosec.pubto Technology@beehaw.org•Opinion: The Copyright Office is making a mistake on AI-generated artEnglish1·2 years agoYes I agree with you, but I just don’t see how getting rid of copyright laws would fix this. Copyright laws aren’t helping artists enough, so instead of fixing copyright laws we should get rid of them? What do we do instead to protect artists?
SeriousBug@infosec.pubto Technology@beehaw.org•Opinion: The Copyright Office is making a mistake on AI-generated artEnglish17·2 years agohow many musicians don’t have the right to their own work because record companies dominate the music industry?
But not having copyright law doesn’t fix that, it makes it worse. Without copyright law if you make music, a big label can grab your music and sell copies without paying you anything. Sure you can try to sell it yourself and try to educate customers that they should buy it from you. But the big label can easily out-advertise you and get into the top spots on streaming services, online and physical stores etc. and get 99% of the sales.
Same for artists, writers, programmers, photographers, or anyone else whose work is protected by copyright.
I fully agree things are not great right now, but that’s not copyright laws fault. I think you need other laws and regulations to fix things, like small creators should be able to sue large companies with minimal cost if they infringeme on their copyright. And there should be some sort of provisions so companies can’t trap people in horrible contracts. I’d also love to see fair use exceptions broadened in cases where the copyrighted material is just not available anymore, like old games or movies that are not sold anymore. Shorten the length of copyright too. But getting rid of it completely would not work.
SeriousBug@infosec.pubto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Any FOSS/Privacy oriented mood tracker android app recommendations?6·2 years agoHow about Track & Graph? It’s not necessarily for mental health, it can track anything you want. You can attach notes while tracking, it includes CSV exports, and you can configure it to send reminders.
SeriousBug@infosec.pubto Technology@beehaw.org•I'm having a tough time choosing my next android smartphone, any ideas?28·2 years agoIf you are looking to use it for 5 years, I’d say go with Fairphone. They actually have a 5 year warranty and committed to providing software updates for 6 years. All other phones will lose support in 2 or 3 years, leaving you vulnerable to security vulnerabilities.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein? The new Wolfensteins have quite a bit of story, but the old one is all skippable.
SeriousBug@infosec.pubto Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•Ah, when we lose focus for a second and then we don't even known what our code was supposed to do4·2 years agoIt’s also an amazing way of duck-debugging. By the time you write down what the problem is, you’ll figure out where’s the issue or at least what you should try next.
“X is giving me an error, I checked X’s logs. X communicates with Y… Oh, I need to check Y next!”
And if you can’t figure it out, you have the problem and everything you tried documented so you can ask for help and get answers effectively.
You couldn’t make a proprietary server. Client is fine, AGPL doesn’t apply when you are accessing the server over a public API.
