Yes, you could have watched a 5- (or 10-) years old movie and went there for a forum full of threads about that specific movie. Some threads might be old, but people did make new threads even after years, and they were all in one place and easy to find. It was a big loss when it was shut down, and I haven’t found a place that offers a similar experience.

At the moment they work like email addresses. You have an xyz@gmail.com account, you can only log into gmail.com’s server. But you can talk to abc@outlook.com, the fediverse (gmail.com and outlook.com’s servers) takes care of passing the messages / posts for you.

Why is there no 28 Months Later?

Also, the button layout on switch controllers is different (A & B is swapped compared to XBox). This mostly matters on emulators, although you can remap the buttons, it can get confusing that they don’t match the games’ instructions on screen.

In fact, USB 3 can cause interference with 2.4GHz wireless so a 2.0 hub could actually be better for OP’s purpose. It probably won’t make much of a difference unless you’re plugging in a thumb drive right next to the receiver though.

I really hate that you can only open one settings page at a time. There is no justification to making you lose your place you’re working on just because you want to adjust another minor setting. With the old interface I can e.g. have network and sound settings open at the same time and I don’t know why they took that away.

Yes, not the best things people have done in the name of their country.

• One of the government’s justification for the practice was “It was lawful at the time”. Now the Supreme Court ruled the law was never constitutional.
• The Supreme Court also decided that “statute of limitations” does not apply so plaintiffs can still seek compensation.

I agree that the issues

• whether AI output are derivative works of its input, and
• whether input to AI is fair use and requires no compensation

are separate, but I think they are related, in that AI companies are trying to impose whatever interpretation of copyright that is convenient to them to the rest of the society.

And indeed Meta pirated books to feed its AI.

Don’t know about OpenAI, but Meta used pirated books to train its AI.

Reproduction of copyrighted material would be breaking the law. Studying it and using it as reference when creating original content is not.

I’m curious why we think otherwise when it is a student obtaining an unauthorized copy of a textbook to study, or researchers getting papers from sci-hub. Probably because it benefits corporations and they say so?

And to think we want to abolish leap seconds because they are ‘too hard’.

What use case is there for a user application to access the ambient light sensor?

I like that the publisher sell on GOG and they update the same time as steam too.

I think you can be sued in the civil court for anything if someone has the time and money and can convince a lawyer to take up a case against you. For copyright infringment, you can also be criminally prosecuted in some cases.

If Meta win this lawsuit, does it mean I can download some open source AI and claim that “These million 4k Blu-ray ISOs I torrented was just used to train my AI model”?

Heck, if how you use the downloaded stuff is a factor, I can claim that I just torrented those files and never looked at them. It is more believable than Meta’s argument too, because, as a human, I do not have enough time to consume a million movies in my lifetime (probably, didn’t do the math) unlike AIs.

But who am I kidding, I fully expect to be sued to hell and back if I were actually to do that.

I think you need to manually adjust the length of the audio stream after you extracted it, they are usually of the common fixed sample rates (like 44.1kHz or 48kHz) and are not tied to the frame rate of the video stream (other than being the same length in time).

For such a small percentage change (a few seconds over something like an hour long) “Change Speed” in an audio editor should be good enough, the shift in pitch should not be noticeable.

Is my understanding correct that Youtube only cares about paying the music right holders? (Because those complains the loudest?) That is, if someone creates an AMV by combining audio and visuals from different sources and uploads it to Youtube, Youtube only gives the monetize profit to the song owner, but not the visuals rights owners?

He’s still bitter someone Sponsorblocked his cat segment :-)

Nor in some Lemmy clients (like Voyager), hopefully spoiler support would get better over time.

In addition, kbin does not federate posts posted by bots (currently), so !episode_discussion@ani.social appears empty on kbin.social even though they are federated. You’ll need to use an account on a Lemmy instance to participate there at this time, unfortunately.
