This is a publicity stunt. He’s simply gone to the Garda (Irish police) and reported a “crime” (that Google have apparently broken the law). The Garda will “investigate”, inevitably find that, no, the law designed to arrest blackhats breaki

As others have stated, there are dozens of similar services. I recommend Feedbin: https://feedbin.com/

I’m pretty confident they will, if only to cooperate with the EUs digital markets act.

It’s amusing you’re perfectly illustrating the OPs point. “Vanilla opinions” is so vague as to be completely meaningless.

The Bungie purchase isn’t puzzling if you look at Sony’s future trajectory. They have 10 or so live-service titles in development, and have stated very openly that they aim to greatly expand their offerings in that area going forward. There

I don’t really agree with your interpretation of the character, I would argue she’s more understandably frustrated and desperate given the context of the story than whiny. To me that makes her a more realistic and well-rounded character. Sh

Do you think you would feel the same about Aloy if she were presented as a male character? As the protagonist of the story she’s privy to information and intelligence far beyond the knowledge of much of the rest of the cast. She’s treated a

No, this is as a consequence of the EU Digital Markets Act.

I’m not saying that, I just believe those people are myopic and completely missing the wider picture because they’d rather delude themselves with fantasy and thought experiments than consider the crude reality of the economic situation. Thi

You speak of competition, but the logical end goal here is a handful of companies in control of something that automates large quantities of the current knowledge economy in a way never yet before seen, in a capitalist society already strug

I feel like you’re missing the larger picture here. You’re focusing the discussion around art. Historically art has always been a difficult way to make money. Open source tools that make it trivial will just reduce the number of individuals

Given the current emerging wealth gap and all trends in the Western world I fear you’d have to be incredibly naive to think the long term goal here is to benefit the average person. This is simply a play by capital to reduce and remove expe

I believe you’re simply taking the wording too literally. You may not cease so exist, but a decent role for you in society might. The capital class have invested tens of billions of dollars into AI in the hopes that it will be enough to rep

Agreed. These threads always bring out the myopic xenophobes.

Limited exclusive deals and outright buying two of the largest publishers in the industry with mountains of valuable IP are two obviously completely different propositions. There’s little point in a discussion if you’re going to try to conf

Nonsense, Sony have every right to be aggrieved at this deal. They have worked hard to maintain their position and work closely with third parties to create excellent games that consistently approach GOTY status. Microsoft tried this approa

It’s just like reading the fan fiction on Macrumours. Any day Apple are going to leave the EU over the Digital Markets Act, any day now!

Agreed, we’ve been here before, repeatedly, over the past few years: - The Metaverse was going to change the internet. - The Internet of things was going to revolutionise our homes and cities. - Self-driving cars would change the motor indu

I don’t agree with that, it wasn’t even a complex situation, Google just didn’t like the idea that a paper attributed to them could point out all the obvious unethical implications of this technology and shut it down. The drama afterwards i

I’m pleased you have the privilege to just ignore the potential negative outcomes of this technology, that as per the marketing hype is set to become the new way the world interacts with information, primarily owned by two unsavoury entitie

This is the same Microsoft that had to close down their Twitter AI “Tay” after a single day because it immediately became a “racist asshole” (as per The Verge) in 2016? The same OpenAI ran by Sam Altman, who just last year was part of a cry

Agreed, the whole “this is the new search” has perplexed me. Primarily the idea that this AI is supposed to be the single point of truth. A traditional search allows the user to review a variety of contexts and viewpoints. It’s highly conc

As we’re all meant to be living in the metaverse inside our self driving cars purchased by crypto, I’d wait to see what’s going to happen before making grand proclamations on the latest vastly overhyped tech.

Apple Podcasts is the only platform I know of that provides this sort of functionality and support even there is hit & miss.

This is pretty clearly Apples attempt to create a Patreon podcast competitor & refers to the “Apple Podcasters Program” [1]. It’s not designed to host regular, free feeds in the traditional RSS style, quite deliberately. When signing up

On Apple devices Reeder 5, NetNewsWire and Feedbin all use the Mercury parser API (hosted by Feedbin) to extract the full article text. I believe Fiery Feeds also includes this functionality (with a subscription) although I am uncertain of

It was a vital stop, and he absolutely deserved the golden glove over Lloris for it. I’m not sure I see how it counters my argument though - had Martinez let everything past him for the first 80 minutes (not that France actually had a shot
