Funny thing is that it will just mess his whole message except for the "AI" lol

Except that most technology was built in a way that didn't require all of the humanity knowledge and labor to be sequestered and then regurgitated back as slop that we need to pay as a subscription from what essentially is a rent seeking mafia.

It's not four consecutive terms, you are only allowed 2 consecutive terms.

That maybe you should take a deep breath and consider that your views have been clouded by a deeply corrupt bigot with ties to organized crime that has used the last decade to manipulate people into thinking he is "the savior" and "a true patriot" that will essentially make "Brazil great again" with a suck-ass motto "Deus, Pátria e Família" taken straight out of 1930s flavor of fascism while inciting the population into dividing themselves and constantly making ploys in order to take people's eyes away from him while he performs his wrongdoings with the means of every conceived vile strategy straight out of the same playbook Trump uses?

This is the Bolsonaro I know. I'm here to kindly ask you to free your mind from the shackles of his vile social network and see for yourself what he truly is, including seemingly innocuous "family" whatsapp groups and so on.

OBS should just do the maliciously compliant here and add the support but throw a little jab in the drop down menu by labeling it "Rumble - Fascists and lunatics only" or something like that.

Please tell that to OpenAI & friends.

Clearly his analogy is about the usage of AI causing a downfall in the project itself. Maybe no one can understand the project anymore after thousands of AI commits. Maybe no one can contribute without having access to some fancy AI provider. Maybe the AI was using you, the developer, as a tool all along and the end game is for your project (and other FOSS projects) to be replicated under the tutelage of a few big corporations, making all FOSS projects irrelevant.

I would even say that we also lost that 90s Internet Explorer download dialog. Feels quite nostalgic whenever I see happen to see it...

> I generally prefer no spatial processing, except in the case of 60s-style hard-panned stereo, which is intended for loudspeakers

Pretty much all audio is mixed for loudspeakers (in a room). It's fine if it is your preference but objectively the vast majority of music, film & etc sounds worse, or at least wrong with headphones. The main problem with these spatialization/binauralization techniques is that they are trying to model something that involves a deeply personal thing, the shape of your ears and head, and the way your brain interprets all that. They usually make these techniques with an average listener "head" in mind but if you are not lucky enough to fall in that average window the effect is likely sound bad or very fake.

Isn't OnlyOffice a fork of LibreOffice?

I bet soon most of the apps you can only get on a smartphones are gonna require some kind of attestation that is unlikely to be given to your laptop running an "unsanctioned" version of android.

Though it might have some use if you at least can run linux userland inside android, including a whole desktop session, without any performance degradation.

And why would China pace the frontier when it was the American accelerationist companies who created this mess? I remember scientists calling for an AI slow down way back in 2023 and they were all ridiculed and ignored by those very same companies. There is no way "Pacing the frontier" isn't just a ruse.

Did you find the easter egg with the Elijah Wood prank interview? That's the kind of stuff modern media lacks.

I've used it to successfully organize my messy library of (then) 50 thousands songs back in 2014. It's great if you can wrap your head around the weird ass workflow.

The plugins/extensions have also been proving quite useful, there are now quite a lot more available and useful ones. I've managed to incorporate some into my workflow.

In fact... this guy just made me coin a new term. Thanks.
