yes but if Spotify uses its own GenAI music, they don’t have to pay anyone else when someone listens to it.

Spotify’s plans to take money from subscribers but never pay a fucking dime to anyone else , ever.

I love that they have Ultima 4 available for free. I spent SO many hours in that world. The “what kind of person are you” value judgment questions at the beginning were remarkably heavy for introspective teenage me.

fucking WebEx

It’s great for parsing through the enshittified journalism.

It’s ironic that GenAI is great for solving a problem it caused. It’s like hiring a gangster to take you through gangster-controlled territory.

I think this speaks more to the usefulness of performance reports than the usefulness of GenAI

Industry groups argued that those museums didn’t have “appropriate safeguards” to prevent users from distributing the games once they had them in hand. They also argued that there’s a “substantial market” for older or classic games, and a new, free library to access games would “jeopardize” this market. Perlmutter agreed with the industry groups.

So as long as someone, somewhere, might make a penny off of them, they can’t be free. Insert your own metaphor here.

aw man that site was like Dr Bronner’s took some digital mushrooms

it was written in FORTRAN

yeah and my ex-boyfriend “intends” to pay me back the $3500 I loaned him to fix his car.

Right.

Even the news is in re-runs.

Funny how they use the phrase “with it’s data” when it’s our data.

Equally funny how there’s no mention of how users who no longer have active accounts are supposed to tell Xitter that they don’t want to share what they entered. Musk has openly flaunted law before (even to its own employees), so it’s pretty silly for people to think that they would abide by what users choose in the first place.

it looks like there’s a light-blue-on-white strip visualizer over the timeline at the bottom.

Them’s fightin’ words.

There’s a kid calling himself Prince.

No.

hey GTX1080 user! Have you been able to get any games running with RTX? I picked mine up used a while back, and I kinda stopped PC gaming ages ago, but it’d be nice to use these features if I could. I haven’t been able to get RTX Portal or RTX Quake 2 to work right via Steam, so i figured the card/drivers just can’t handle it and I should just play vanilla DOOM instead.

according to Architecture Today, that structure is sexual in nature.

All for the low low price of most of your money, most of your spare time, and most of “the best years of your life”

wow, hold me back.

and nobody in the Stanford audience had the balls to yell out “IT FUCKING IS” at him after he said it. Cowards and sycophants, all.
