an open source service gets bought/joins an AI company to develop a closed source version of the same service, while leaving the code ot the old clients open.

Its still open source

the code for the client they’re about to abandon is, that’s about it. the new service doesn’t share its source code.

“oh neat, the scorpion is paying me to carry it through the river!”

the creator delayed the launch because he had to write the legalese for the service, and on top of that I think he’s waiting for the app stores to approve the app (the service isn’t available through a browser).

he mentioned in the past that the videos will be automatically deleted after some period of time, so that should make the storage situation a little bit more manageable.

At what price point would this device be useful?

given that it’s horribly bad at what it claims to do and was a fire risk? not even a zero point.

usually the built-in phone app will have an option to block calls from unidentified callers, no app needed.

I remember reading about Samsung TVs looking for unprotected WiFi networks, so even if you don’t give it your network details, it’ll connect to your neighbour’s if it’s not password-protected.

Discourse has got an ActivityPub plugin, but the forum owner needs to explicitly add it to their forum.

you can click on the posted URL and read it yourself. it’s free!

being able to sort saved posts into categories was my favourite Reddit Gold feature.

the fate worse than quenching.

and now I’m imagining Siri speaking in a very high-pitched voice.

have you checked the documentation? https://pine64.org/documentation/PineTime/Development/Available_firmware_and_projects/

I love stux, I have a Mastodon account on one of his instances, and I donate every now and then. he’s a good human being, and his cats are supreme.

that being said, I feel like sometimes he’s a bit ADHD with his side projects, so he creates one, and then just lets it fizzle out over time while he starts two new ones. goldfish.social was one of them, and it looks like the domain has expired and got bought out by someone else. perhaps it’s his way of learning new stuff, or preventing himself on getting burned out or something - whichever it is, I’m not judging, he’s never making promises that they’re long term commitments anyway. his Masto instances have been solid, on the other hand.

so, no summary at all, or one that does shit job pointing out important bits or gets them wrong and therefore isn’t a proper summary? choices, choices.

It’s not terrible

it sucks at summarising information, though https://www.crikey.com.au/2024/09/03/ai-worse-summarising-information-humans-government-trial/
