if something requires an EULA it isn’t open at all, it is just publicly available. By your logic, public services are “open source.” There are myriad corporations that release actual open source software that is truly free to use. If you experience massive success with anything regarding Meta’s LLMs, they’re going to take a cut according to their EULA.

If you’ve ever had the pleasure of using the DJ X feature in Spotify, it does a decent job mixing in some new things I like, but you’re definitely on to something when it comes to popular record labels. I don’t like any of the new pop, but every other “set” that DJ X provides has Chappel Roan or Taylor Swift or Sabrina Carpenter or some other flavor of generic pop I never am interested in. Play counts for some of these popular artists are probably inflated due to that kind of thing.

I’m curious, is the prevalence of SQLite similar to how PHP is widely used because it’s behind many WordPress sites?

this comment resonates with me. I think it’s a common mistake for a lot of folks to forget that programming is a creative task, and creative tasks rarely fit into metrics effectively. I have a bad habit at my place of work for not ticketing things out correctly and pushing larger than average commits.

let’s not be intentionally naive here; petting zoos sometimes have exotic animals (like zebras) but mostly contain animals like donkeys, sheep, toy ponies, etc. There are many places to take a stance on animal care and rights, as well as things to criticize involving this incident, but petting zoos are a weird hill to die on regarding this matter. You should consider bringing your children to one soon if you have any, they’re a little smelly (mainly because they’re usually adjacent/close to a farm), but pretty fun, especially if the people running it are educated.

yeah, petting zoos are excellent ways to teach children about animals and animal husbandry. it is very unlucky this has happened, for sure.

I wish this could work out as well as it seems it could, but it’s not nearly as easy or flowery as a residential developer picking up an office building. A friend of mine in the space pointed out even though these spaces have a lot of floor space, plumbing is your main issue on converting these structures into livable spaces. Most of these spaces only have 1-2 bathrooms a floor, meaning an apartment-style floor plan adjustment turns into a nightmare regarding piping.

I think there’s some hope in the console market via the likes of things like the Steamdeck and other handheld PC devices. Hopefully they’ll get cheaper as time goes on and compete at the same price point as the switch.

accurate, I work for a company that uses a bunch of Microsoft products. it’s apparently a good deal from a financial perspective and is popular in the public sector because of the easy integration for non-technical users. alas, you get what you pay for.

I have had the opposite experience with X, I find it hard to escape any cheap rage bait on my feed regardless of how I would tag or hide pages. It’s interesting you have this experience, though.

Looking beyond your sophomoric tone, I understand where you’re at, but I think these arguments on both sides are silly. OP makes a valid point in regard to the sentimentality behind creating art. You’re right in that no art “should” be a a particular thing or shape, but I am with OP that asking the question “what will happen to us culturally” is necessary every time a new tool arrives. The maximalist “all things are tools for artists” works in theory, but tools have changed cultures drastically, and that is very easy to point out throughout history.

I also find it comical that you thrust your opinion on what art is upon OP and say they are a “conformist hypocrite.” Both of you just hold an opinion on art and culture that differ, nothing more. To use your words, it’s personal and you have no say in how they should interact with or interpret art. When it comes to art, neither of your opinions, or Google’s, matters.

how is that needlessly complicated? it’s just a simile commenting on how communicating on the internet is fundamentally different than anything before it. it sure is much more fun than your suggestion.

Hello! I’m one of those unresolved United cases. When I played trumpet primarily, I had had a horn get destroyed from mishandling on the way to an audition. I didn’t get any compensation at all.
