Because that's not their business model. How is that not obvious?

Their Silicon was written to be OS agnostic, Apple's was not.

Didn't they literally just give you and example of those who do?

Clients sue other business partners all the time, that doesn't mean they stop working together. There's lots of examples of this.

I'm a fan of audiobookshelf. Don't let the name fool you, it does a lot! I use it for podcasts, audio books, & ebooks. It's great!

Ceph muahaha

Putting aside that it seems to not work at all on my phone... how is a BLIND PERSON supposed to READ THE TEXT for how this works? This of course assumes blindness is binary (which I _personally_ know it is not).

Did someone forget to consult with the MPAA and the RIAA on this one? This is a joke of an outcome. $3k per book. How much was it per song for Napster?

Quotas?

YAY!

As someone who is struggling with SEO for my business due to AI in the last 1-2 years, I'm quite displeased to see this. I'm sure this is going to ruin website SEO even more than it already has been.

Well I sell various IT systems as products. For example, turnkey TrueNAS systems that were built on refurbished hardware that I/my business personally validated for reliability, and various other metrics. We don't make the hardware, nor the software, but we combine them, validate it does what is expected, and from my perspective that's fair to consider it a "product". How does that line up for you?

So is a screwdriver a tool or a product?

I think you're getting caught up on nomenclature and limited sample sizes.

How did you market it? I'm trying to get into my own production stuff and I don't want to participate in the parasitic Amazon or overcrowded Etsy ecosystems. Looks like you're doing sales through your own website, which I want to do myself. But I haven't yet figured out how to bring legit traffic to my own website. I don't have money to throw at advertising and that's a minefield of fake traffic anyways. Any advice to share please?

Anyone that cares about privacy and uses Instagram won't care about this. It's not a good thing for Meta to do this but the last two+ decades has demonstrated people prefer to be ignorant and accept whatever comes. Let them eat cake and rot. I tire of being called paranoid because I know how all this can be abused.

Samba has never been about file sharing over the internet. The project has been about cleanroom-reverse-engineering specific MS technology. To start it was NT4 authentication domains, then printing services, along the way SMBv1 (commonly incorrectly called CIFS btw), then SMBv2 v3.x, and then in 2012 Samba Active Directory.

In no way has it ever been about a functional alternative to something like Nextcloud. It's been about services primarily for LAN functionality, not stuff that should be going over the internet (mostly for security reasons).

So your expectations really don't align with what Samba has ever been about.

Source: I professionally support Samba for businesses.

I'm sorry Google, I'm afraid I can't do that.

Google will incur serious lawsuits if they remove that accessibility aspect.

Any chance for something 100% self-hostable? hcaptcha and friendlycaptcha last I checked require interfacing with their services.

Nextcloud, Samba serving SMB isn't really equivalent.

I... I think I might be able to do that too..

I'm a fan of Concrete CMS. No plans to switch away, and yes I am working with AI.

Inflation is a hell of a drug.

YouTube recommendations are very well tuned for me. You need to mark videos "not interested" and downvote stuff you don't actually like, as well as stopping videos when you've decided you're not interested. This and other aspects WILL improve your recommended feed. So if your recommended feed sucks, well that's on you there bud, you can influence it completely.

Ahh yes the downvotes for pointing out that something is achievable by putting in the effort to improve. I see Reddit is spilling over here.

We'll see how the future unfolds. Until then, I have plenty of other things to do. And I bet you do too :P

I was giving a similar, but tangibly different, example of enshitification. It doesn't have to be a 1:1 translation to be a relevant example.

Yes you can. I do it every day. Get better at driving.

You open the trunk and put it in. And leave enough room behind your vehicle to do that, which is available in _every_ parking spot.

Thanks for recording me without my consent just because I walked past your car parked. /s
