  • Spotify caught hosting hundreds of fake podcasts that advertise selling drugs

    Jump

  • I would also recommend Pandora. I've had a family plan for years so I don't know for sure but there used to be a free (ad supported) tier that you could check out. And to reiterate comments from above, custom playlists and song/album play on demand is available (though some tracks are only available in discovery mode).

  • Anthropic apologizes after one of its expert witnesses cited a fake article hallucinated by Claude in the company's legal battle with music publishers

    Jump

  • This doesn't appear as bad as some of the other ai legal stuff. Formatting references isn't really about generating content as much as structuring it and AI (usually) doesn't have the kind of problems with hallucinations when just tasked with reorganizing data. I've used GPT for reformatting references to APA style and it worked really well. I'm surprised Claude couldn't handle this task.

    Also bummed that there doesn't appear to be a book called a statisticians guide to making inferences with noisy data, because that sounds like a book worth checking out.

  • Yikes. As nice as it would be to have an extra $2500, I can't imagine a scenario in which using this jackwad's platform is a good idea.

  • Florida's Plan to Replace Migrant Workers With Children Falls Apart

    Jump

  • Of course they want child labor. Who else could they get to replace a silent population of workers who are unempowered to fight against abuse?

  • Reddit Plans Extra Verification Steps To Detect The Human-Like AI Bots

    Jump

  • Court ruling bars Apple from charging 27% commission on purchases outside the App Store

    Jump

  • Isn't this charging model the same reason Kindle stopped allowing in app purchases? I thought they had said it was a Google play store thing though. Is Google doing it too or is there pricing something different?

    White House calls Amazon ‘hostile’ for reportedly planning to list tariff costs

    Jump

  • I'm actually okay with Trump and friends declaring war on Amazon. As long as one of them loses, society is a tiny bit better off.

  • List of Alternatives to Adobe Programs

    Jump

  • Here's the main one I used to get started.

    I've started one on creating abstract art in Affinity that seems pretty good and I have a few others in my learning queue from him on specific parts of affinity that look really good but I haven't done yet.

    Him and Lindsey Marsh have a bunch of content out there on the whole suite. I took Lindsey's course on graphic design theory that was pretty good but that course used adobe so i used it more for general concepts. I think either of them would be a good place to start.

  • Also udemy has some fantastic courses to learn the whole suite, each can be purchased for lifetime access for $10-15 USD. The instructors I bought from are still actively updating their courses and I get all the new stuff, even though I bought when AD was still on v1.3.

    If you're looking to learn it's a really affordable way to do it.

  • The Machine Fired - No human could do a thing about it!

    Jump

  • I just watched that again for the first time in a while. It definitely hits different in the age of AI driven layoffs.

    Highly recommend.

  • Researchers secretly experimented on Reddit users with AI-generated comments

    Jump

  • These researchers conducted research in a manner that was totally unethical and they deserve to be stripped of tenure and lose any research funding they have.

    It already sounds like the university is preparing to just protect them and act like it's no big deal, which is discouraging but I suppose not surprising.

  • Some Grammaticial voices.

    Jump

  • Conspiracy voice is reading to me like grad school voice. Just replace the suspicious overtones with condescension and ridicule.

  • Man allegedly hid marijuana in Easter eggs across the city, posted clues to social media

    Jump

  • Tesla Stock Price Reaches 'Death Cross' Status

    Jump

  • Oh my God this is so f-ing true. It makes me think a lot of sociology classes I took in college where we'd talk about the artificiality of money how it's only meaningful because we have collectively decided it is. The folks who try to make it all scientific with lots of elaborate analytics and complex charts are basically just engaging a social math exercise.

  • Microsoft Publisher will no longer be supported after October 2026 - Microsoft Support

    Jump

  • I've been learning it over the last few weeks, and I can say it definitely has a learning curve for folks used to the Microsoft style, it's pretty solid. Integration with the affinity photo and designer are nice too - moving assets across them is incredibly easy.

    It's not free but it's really affordable, and it's not on a subscription so once you buy it you own it. Would recommend checking it out.

  • I couldn't get through more than about a paragraph before getting prompted to subscribe so I'm still little confused.

    Why get measurements of your child's erections in the first place? How does this son feel about his PHI being shared all over the internet? Hard to imagine anyone being okay with that.

  • Omg they are hilarious.

    If I was on the twitters (or Blueskys now I guess) I'd definitely follow them.

  • Whenever I see this quote (or others like it) I hear it read in Bill's voice from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

    Bill : Socrates [SOH -crates]- ' the only true wisdom is knowing that you know nothing.

    Ted: Dude, that's us!
