This is a very common approach, as a meshnet, of course.

There is still censorship in many instances. Just because it's transparent doesn't change anything about the fact that it's happening. I doubt more than a small fraction of users even regularly look at the modlog.

BBB (Big Blue Button, for those unfamiliar) seems to be the favorite of lots of institutions in Germany. I think a government agency recommended its use, that's why it's so widespread.

The app does remind you of updates.

Amazon- and Google-backed AI firm Anthropic says “general-purpose AI tools simply could not exist” if AI companies had to pay licences for the training material (www.computerweekly.com)

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) company Anthropic has claimed to a US court that using copyrighted content in large language model (LLM) training data counts as “fair use”, however....

I think there is a fundamental difference here. People are not corporations. People have always learned like this and will always learn like this. Do we really want to allow large corporations to take knowledge from people, then commercialize it and put these very same people out of work?

Ubuntu is by far the most popular distro and it is no more efficient than Windows, on the contrary. RAM usage in particular is worse.

We had one in 1992 already. Built like a tank, it lasted for almost 30 years. The cookbook that came with it became the source of many family staples.

What is sexy in style here? They are wearing loose, long-sleeved robes up to the neck. Makeup and hair are just following current trends.

Pretty people get photographed/painted more, resulting in much of the training data being pretty people, thus pretty people get generated more frequently.

I've definitely noticed a demand for emulators. Apple does not permit those on their app store.

I bought my first Android phone in late 2010. Its 600 MHz single-core CPU just barely ran a GBA emulator at playable speeds. The screen wasn't multitouch and a bug in the operating system (fixed about a year or two later by the manufacturer) meant that any time the screen was being touched, CPU load would shoot up to 100% and everything slowed down to a crawl, which meant I could only play turn-based titles. That's how I discovered Advance Wars.

PS2 emulation is my recent surprise. If you have a powerful enough device, then AetherSX2 will run games extremely well on it. Less powerful devices can still run PSP games using the remarkable PPSSPP emulator.

Then there's the whole business of emulating Windows PCs. There's a number of impressive apps that can be used to play even fairly new titles. I believe Winlator is the latest.

I've only used it with older games so far, but it works really well already. If you don't mind a bit of fiddling with the configuration, I highly recommend trying it out.

Edit: ETA Prime's video on the emulator is a few months old already, but it's a good starting point:

They have a knack for building cars that people want, are usually late to new developments, but then blow the competition out of the water in terms of sales, because their cars (prior to the infotainment debacles and cost-cutting measures of recent years) tend to be extremely polished, are comfortable, economical and handle very well. The Golf GTI in particular is perhaps the perfect embodiment of the company's capabilities.

Personally, I think some of their past clout, especially in regards to quality, has been overstated though. We've considered new VWs long before recent quality problems, but they left a worse impression than comparable French cars and in absolutely every way. Still, they have been very consistent for a long time and appealed to buyers with a "no experiments" kind of mindset, who just want a predictable rolling appliance.

I don't know about you, but someone who doesn't care doesn't write two paragraphs. My don't care limit is one paragraph max.
