Yeah but they didn’t move fast. autonomous road vehicles have been in development by one company or another for what, twenty years at least? It’s only in the last couple of years that they’ve started hitting the road.

Oh I doubt that’s why they did it. I imagine for google it’s more along the lines of “more money for us”.

it’s a shame android is getting a walled garden too now.

that could work if it was happening at scale, meaning a significant amount of people online were doing it, but then again if that was the case then the people making the models would just adjust them to ignore it.

one person on fedi doing it isn’t even a blip in the data. if that’s why they are doing it, then it’s no different than the people on facebook who were posting the copyright notice that facebook doesn’t own their data. it doesn’t matter, and facebook wouldn’t notice even if it did.

That doesn’t work tho. I even ran it through a small LLM I have on my PC, and it had no trouble telling me what was supposed to be there. Something massive like ChatGPT wouldn’t even notice.

Ah. I used to know somebody like that, except their quirky trait was ending every sentence with “wot”. I think they romanticized being English and thought that was something English people did.

what’s wrong with your comment? do you have a non-english keyboard or something?

that’s called a seedbox. and yes, you can get them all over the place. MAM is affiliated with SeedIt4Me and RapidSeedbox, so those ones ought to be good. idk for sure tho, because I’ve never needed a seedbox so I can’t vouch for anything.

I use Unraid. It’s great and a lot less hassle than back when I used just a regular distro for everything.

that’s exactly what they are going to do. on every device released by certified partners.

unless they change their mind on this, android will soon be a walled garden like the iphone is.

yeah, because it’s bankrolled by one billionaire now, so it doesn’t matter how badly he runs it, as long as he decides to keep it up. it could never make a single dime ever again, and he could run it for as long as he wanted because he makes vastly more than twitter costs.

back when it was public, if it had lost this many advertisers when it wasn’t profitable to start with, it might have been a very different situation for them. they had to convince investors to keep giving them money back then.

There’s no such thing as “impossible” when it comes to piracy.

“Why won’t you guys think of the children!”

With the recent push for age verification in the UK, they saw an opening that will let them wall up the garden again.

That’s, uh, a bold play.

Does anyone know if they collaborate with law enforcement

yes, they do. they aren’t there to provide bulletpoof hosting, they are there to make your site resistant to DDoS attacks. as an added bonus, if you are selfhosting they also provide you with a bit of anonymity, in the sense that someone can’t just figure out your general location from your ISP.

that doesn’t mean people can’t figure out who you are from the content you host. and if you are hosting content that is illegal, even if it’s illegal in another country, then you are likely to be exposed when their courts subpoena cloudflare. cloudflare isn’t going to fight too hard to protect your identity against a government, and honestly I don’t blame them for that because they never said that was their mission or purpose. they are DDoS protection, with a few other features that might be useful to you.

call me old-fashioned, but you don’t need a fridge with a fucking screen in it.

no, you shouldn’t use a VPN with any Servarr app. you use the vpn with the download client.

if a CERT came to whatever email provider you use and accused you of being a malicious hacker, your email service would absolutely terminate your account.
