Even then, AI models (be it text or image) are generally unethically trained (i.e. without consent of the authors/artists of the training material) and have a significant energy consumption, even for single prompts.
And I do have to ask: To what degree is running your comment through an LLM actually beneficial? You say it improved readability, but how unreadable was your original comment actually, that it would require fixing via external tool?
For books, library genesis would be a better place to look than piratebay though.
That has been rectified in 2017. iPhones these days do not slow down with new software updates any more than any other phone. They do throttle performance, if the battery is degraded to much but this is both communicated clearly and easily reversed by replacing the battery (even if you do it yourself or have it done by a third party, instead of paying apple’s admittedly high price).
Apple have plenty of anti-consumer behavior in other places. Treading around on an issue that is older than any currently supported iPhone, however, instead on focusing on current issues (like lack of app sideloading anywhere but in the EU, for example) is not conducive to actually getting Apple (or other corporations) to change their behavior. This battle has already been won.
Das machen meine Textvorschläge bzw. Autokorrektur seit iOS 18 ständig. Nervtötend.

A good replacement for people who can’t get away from MS Office might be OnlyOffice. Looks like MS Office, uses the same file types and is free of charge albeit not open source.
But the point where you’d have to set up a VM for someone who’s not technically inclined is probably not the point for them to switch to Linux.
Also, I think the problem with Linux‘ reliance on terminal commands is less that it’s not possible to avoid them – a lot of distros, like the ones you’ve named are indeed very easy to use without – it’s that if you try to look up a tutorial for anything, it will be using the terminal.
For example, if I search on DDG for something as simple as „how to update Ubuntu“, only the fourth entry mentions that there’s a gui updater. The rest tell you to use apt via the terminal. It’s not wrong of course but that’s not what my mum would want to see. And even with searches like „how to install vlc media player on mint“, while the first result does include how to do it via the gui, it’s the last of four options explained in the article. The first three use the terminal again.
Stuff like that happens a lot in the Linux world. And that obviously breeds the conception of Linux‘ complete reliance on the terminal to function properly. The community oftentimes is not very newbie friendly, if said newbie doesn’t want to jump in the deep end.

I‘d like you to meet Europeans some time.
I still quite liked Black Flag and Unity (although far from perfect, especially at launch) and even Origins was pretty good. But Ubisoft Quebec just managed to poop on AC lore multiple times, most egregiously with odyssey.
God, I hated that game. I miss my classic Assassin’s Creed.
Glühwürmchen definitely refers to the flying variant. Might also refer to non flying species but I’ve never seen or heard anyone talk about any of those. The term is probably just used for any type of glowing insect, no matter if worm or bug.
Oh, they absolutely should’ve mentioned it on WAN. Would have been the right thing to do. I understand though, why they didn’t and I’m not gonna paint them the villain because they didn’t. But yes ofc they aren’t the heroes either. Making that much drama out of it is just a little overblown though imo, when the real villain is PayPal/honey.
I‘m not saying they shouldn’t have at least mentioned it on the WAN-Show since that might’ve kept other creators from being scammed. Would have been nice. But making LTT the bad guy for this is massively overblown. If you want to be mad at them, there are plenty of better reasons.
But hell, I‘m not gonna blame ltt for being transparent about which sponsors they drop and why, because most channels do not do that. I’m also not gonna blame them for investigating further because they had no more reason to suspect any more foul play from honey than anybody else, beyond their reason for dropping them and also that’s not something ltt does at all.
LTT aren’t the bad guys here. Honey are. LTT just wasn’t the hero they could’ve been.
When LTT dropped honey that wasn’t yet known though. They dropped honey only for scamming creators out of affiliate revenue. PayPal/honey colluding with companies to reduce the number and value of the coupons offered was only uncovered very recently.
No don‘t. That honey is also scamming users, not just creators wasn’t known until very recently. When LTT dropped honey as sponsor they did so only based on the information that honey was scamming creators.
Back then it wasn’t known to be scamming its users, only creators. Which was also Linus reasoning for why they didn’t make a huge deal out of it because if they told the audience „btw, that thing that saves you money costs us money, so would you be so kind as to not use it so we can make more money instead“, they would have been the assholes back then.
Or, perhaps, he made a mistake, as people do.
We live in time and meet joe black. Gonna watch Werner Herzog‘s Nosferatu later today.
Well, no one‘s saying Spotifys implementation is any good. But the theory that true randomness doesn’t always feel random still stands true. Most music player/streaming apps implement this in some way. Some better, some worse.
And that’s probably because they exported a lot of their German ethic and if you’d take away German cashiers‘ chairs, you’d be in trouble more quickly than you can spell aldi
Movies do belong in cinemas. Rian Johnson‘s movies do not.
