  • Nvidia accused of trying to cut a deal with Anna’s Archive for high‑speed access to the massive pirated book haul — allegedly chased stolen data to fuel its LLMs

  • Ah yes, of course, the legal challenges of selling a copy of a book that is literally for sale 🙄🙄🙄

    Yeah the existing deal with publishers is "sell my book", dummy. And no, there is no real software development work because you have genuinely no idea what you're talking about if you think it's not already just sitting in an S3 bucket with a database mapping it by those different publishers and deals. Again, even libraries have a database system that could handle this

    How do you think it works when an individual buys one book? A lawyer and software developer sit down to figure out the terms and conditions and overcome the technical challenge of finding that book in their computer system?

  • Yeah, no, this genuinely doesn't make sense as there are legitimate repositories for these books and can do business-to-business negotiations for access to them. Even libraries have access to ebooks at bulk scale.

  • Why not trade the illusion of digital control for actual peace, get a dumb phone, a CD player, and check out books, movies, music, and games from the library as my entertainment?

    You can do this, while also choosing to use some self-hosted services or internet-services that work for you.

  • $20 is not a lot of money but there are people who can’t afford it anyway

    Then they can't afford a phone or monthly service plan or really any communication devices at all.

    Unless you live in an overpopulated area it will be pretty hard to find someone else using that kind of device

    Literally designed for rural areas with poor cell service.

    it don’t have a real application

    Wait the real application that I use to communicate with and manage my node doesn't exist?

    supposing someone make a business and start deploying the system for money

    Yeah except this tech is already used with all kinds of smart and IoT devices.

  • Meshtatic radios are very cheap, about $20. It's one of their main drivers of their popularity.

    To use these kind of devices you need at least two people using it.

    🤣🤣🤣 A communications device that requires a receiver and a sender?????? Oh, how useless!

    There's over 300 meshtastic radios in my area.

  • Do you prefer FOSS over proprietary software? How much do you use it?

    Jump

  • Yes, and the only proprietary software I use are pretty much video games, maybe some firmware blobs, and probably browser DRM.

  • Go Gray, Not Cray: Why You Should Grayscale Your Phone

    Jump

  • Nah, my phone has been in grayscale for over 3 years now. I really don't miss color and it is very rare that I need to turn color on temporarily for something. Most all UIs and websites are designed with the colorblind in mind, so everything remains perfectly functional, and when looking at images or photos, my brain just "fills in" the color and I often completely forget that the colors aren't there.

    The difference is actually stark and surprisingly noticeable, for example opening my music app and seeing the gallery of all the colorful and cool album art would cause my brain to light up, and now, just nothing. A bright red notification badge doesn't command my attention and give me a dopamine hit anymore. App UIs that are designed to be addictive don't have the same impact.

    You can knock it and it's fine if you don't think the benefits are worth it, but I definitely prefer it. I'm more interested in what is outside of my phone when the things inside my phone are grey and dull.

  • So... just like... KDE?

    Not that it is designed for it but it is a similar workflow and should be familiar to Windows users

  • AMD's legacy Ryzen 7 5800X3D chips now sell for up to $800, more than a new 9800X3D — AM4 chip costs twice as much as MSRP, as enthusiasts flock to old DDR4 memory

    Jump

  • Ha, my system is exactly identical! I really have no reason to upgrade, besides maybe 5950X/5900XT for more cores for compiling software (I run Gentoo on it). Can't justify that though because it's more of a sidegrade, and they're all out of stock now that AM4 is back in style.

    My 6900XT is a slightly-cheaper-than-6950XT frankenstein with the 6950XT full chip but 6900XT clocked VRAM. It's so efficient. The fans don't even spin for some games. There's nothing it can't play at max settings, but I'm also rendering at 1600x1200 (or less for specific older titles) on a CRT.

  • It's beef, so the recommendation is 145 for 3 minutes, not 165.

    And also, 165 is a guarantee that meat is fully pasteurized without needing to know any other information. It is a simplified recommendation that is designed to be easy to follow and hard to mess up: if you check the temperature and you see 165, you know it is safe. However, 2 pieces of information (temperature + amount of time at that temperature) allows for a pasteurization curve. Here is the pasteurization curve for poultry:

    This shows that poultry that maintained 160 for 12 seconds is equally as safe as poultry that was 165 for any amount of time. Same for poultry that was 155 for 48 seconds, 150 for 2 minutes and 48 seconds, 145 for 9.2 minutes, or 140 for 27.5 minutes.

  • I think I must have got it on sale or a very low point. Definitely was a nice upgrade! I had been non-seriously looking at 5950X or 5900XT as a sidegrade but I can't really justify that cost for something that is not a substantial upgrade, and now they seem to be totally out of stock anywhere I look. Oh well!
