Before, only people with resources and skills could afford to create fake content. Now everybody can. How is this not an advancement, taking into account you can't take away the ability to create fakes from people with resources?

Unbelievable that in Europe the government tells you what to do? If anything it would be unbelievable if you could whatever you desired.

Is this coming from the same community that has always said that copyright has to be abolished?

In what way does ChatGPT behave like they own the world?
Have you considered not using their services if you don't want to pay with your data in exchange for their computing power, data storage, engineering time, etc?

I'm not the one who originally claimed something without evidence or justification.

I tried that and it didn't work for me.

Any proof that muting/blocking doesn't work or is this the usual smearing?
For that price I would just sell it to the Mossad.
It makes sense because many specialised IoT appliances are 2G-only. At least that's the way it's happening in the EU. For example in Spain 3G will be phased out in 2025 while 2G will be phased out in 2030.

Dumbphones are 4G. 4G voice service requires VoLTE but mobile operators have to whitelist phone models, the phone has to have the IMS in the internal database... all in all don't expect VoLTE to work. So voice downgrades to 3G. But 3G is being shut down by many operators and more to come. So voice downgrades to 2G, but 2G has a very low limit of concurrent calls, let's say a few dozen. So it's possible that your dumbphone won't work at all.

None of them I'd say. I'd argue moc is not C++

Re:The new Microsoft Teams, now in preview on Wednesday March 29, 2023 @05:24AM (#35354649)
I have seen the comparison video and I am unimpressed. A company with the legacy in software development that Microsoft has should be ashamed of how slow both versions load and how jittery everything seems.

It is 2023, how can they find it acceptable that loading is so slow that UI elements appear one by one? That's something I expect from a computer running Windows 95 on a 386DX.

It didn't?

The fact that something needs to be done does not mean that this needs to be done.

Re:EU countries approve 2035 phaseout of CO2-emitting cars on Tuesday March 28, 2023 @09:07AM (#35340385)
oh we are in a covid lockdown. you can't get on this bus!

oh it says here you have emitted a lot of co2 this year. you can't rent this car until next year!

oh you were in an anti-goverment demonstration a few months ago so we know that you are headed to another one. you can't move from your 15-minute city!

you really think these are hypotheticals?

I'm really looking forward to the government knowing and controlling where I can go!

Most phones don't allow you to downgrade your version of the OS. Definitely iPhone doesn't.

That's saying that people should share your views on politics, which is not rational.

Re:OBS Studio Lands AV1 and HEVC RTMP Streaming Support on Monday March 27, 2023 @02:35PM (#35330477)
That's not a good solution for... almost anybody. Most people would rather have the remote server recode, they would rather not have to open ports (with some connections you just can't), they would rather not expose their IP addresses, etc.

I can see your point but it has nothing to do with what platforms like Twitch are for.

Re:OBS Studio Lands AV1 and HEVC RTMP Streaming Support on Monday March 27, 2023 @02:06PM (#35330089)
>What if you have a low powered device that only has a H264 hardware decoder? What if you have two desktops that prefer AV1.

You recode on the server.

And they are pathetic arguments too. Arguments for losers.
No, there isn't, because if there was, people wouldn't use those apps. People may yak and yak about how they distrust the apps, but their actions say that they don't really distrust them.
