This time really is different because windows is ending updates for windows 10 in 2025 AND they will not allow many computers to upgrade to windows 11, your only choice is to buy a new computer, which obviously isn’t an option for everyone.

I built my gaming PC in 2017 and it still runs all the games and editing programs I want, but it is not eligible to upgrade to W11 because their DRM won’t work on my processor.

I just use Google one click sign in, no phone number required.

It’s possible to have an email address associated with your Reddit account which might provide names.

It appears I’m not allowed to interact on that instance, did lemmy.world defederate from lemmy.ml?

I get how LLMs work and I think they’re really cool. I’m just trying to explain why OpenAI is currently limiting these abilities to continue operating within our legal system. Hopefully the court cases find that there is in fact a difference between publishing the information on a normal website versus discussing it with a chatbot so that they don’t have to be limited like this.

Publishing lyrics publicly online is illegal while communicating them privately in a chatroom is probably fine. Communicating them in a public forum is a grey area, but you likely won’t be caught or prosecuted. If a big company hosts an AI chatbot which can tell you the lyrics to any song on demand, then that seems like an illegal service unless they have the rights.

Feel free to look up the legality of publishing lyrics online, all I saw was information saying that it is illegal but they don’t prosecute anyone but the larger companies.

It’s not legal for anyone (human or not) to put song lyrics online without permission/license to do so. I was googling this to make sure I understood it correctly and it seems that reproducing the lyrics to music without permission to do so is copyright infringement. There are some lyrics websites that work with music companies to get licensing to post lyrics but most websites host them illegally and will them then down if they receive a DMCA request.

FWIW I use Photoshop 2023 to convert webp images to other formats occasionally. My Mac has no issues viewing them but I think my windows 10 desktop has issues. Pretty much all browsers support it though.

Well, they’re fixing that now. I just asked chatgpt to tell me the lyrics to stairway to heaven and it replied with a brief description of who wrote it and when, then said here are the lyrics: It stopped 3 words into the lyrics.

In theory as long as it isn’t outputting the exact copyrighted material, then all output should be fair use. The fact that it has knowledge of the entire copyrighted material isn’t that different from a human having read it, assuming it was read legally.

Maybe you are copying the incorrect link? All of them work for me. Make sure you are copying the link to the plugin code and not the torrent website itself.

You made X?
…
I made X.

Here is the official tutorial: https://github.com/qbittorrent/search-plugins/wiki/Install-search-plugins#steps-to-install-search-plugins-qbittorrent-version-3110-or-more-recent

In qBitorrent go to Search Plugins in the bottom right, then Install a New One. You’ll go to that website link I posted and find a torrent site that has lots of content you like, like 1337, and click the little download icon off to the right of it in that table. That will open a tab with some computer code looking stuff. Copy this URL of the website and in qBittorent, in the Install a New One window, select web link and paste the link to the search engine plugin you chose. I did this for the top 10 or so most relevant looking websites for me in terms of language, content type, etc.

Now when I need a torrent I just go to my search plugin section of the program and type in the search terms I would normally use on Rarbg, and I find the movie I’m looking for.

Here is a YouTube video I found talking about the process:

Rarbg going away was what finally got me to learn how to use qBittorent’s built in search engine which has solved my issues and made it effortless to find torrents without going to sketchy websites.

Go to the search section and add custom search engines and fill in all the good sites from this list:

If you are an apple user, then the Apple watch is clear choice. As an Android user, Huawei could be a decent option but not in the United States. The Google watch is still first generation and might be ok for early adopters but I’m weary of it, and that’s coming from a long time google phone user since the first one. I’m hoping they release more generations of it with improvements.

It probably would not communicate directly with a smaller fitness app other than some major ones like Strava and my fitness pal. You CAN track weightlifting in the Garmin app, and I do, the watch can even auto track your sets and it attempts to auto detect the lift type but isn’t always right so I correct them after I’m done. For lifting workout structuring, it probably won’t be as good as your lifting specific phone app. Garmin is very good at running and other cardio activities, most smart watches struggle to measure weight lifting.

The watches can connect to a second Garmin app on your phone called Connect IQ which is their app store where they support third party developers to make apps, widget, ultra customizable watchfaces, integration of new connected sensors.

It does not support common phone apps or have incredible advanced phone integration like an apple or Google watch would have but we like that because we already get enough screen time. I’m able to see and reply to text messages though, see and interact with all notifications, control audio/media that is playing and more though so it’s not devoid of features at all.

For the most detailed exercise/health tracking, I’d highly recommend Garmin watches. First, no subscription fees, you buy the hardware and you own it and can customize it a lot. Second, the battery life can’t be beat. Third, stats, graphs, analytics! Plus it works just as well whether you’re an apple or android user.

I have the Forerunner 265 and it is so much fun for a stats and graph loving nerd like myself. My gf chose the Venu 2 Sq because she wanted a square screen and she is really happy with it.

Ah, good point.

Correct, I also read that the .ml addresses were free, but in hindsight this downtime is a bigger cost to bear than the $10/year or whatever it would cost to properly pay for a domain.

It’s hard to argue with this when you hold the title of “Recipient of largest stock grant in human history.”

Ah, that’s interesting and definitely sounds like an awful mess to deal with. Thanks for sharing, I’m not as familiar with film projection.
