that's backwards --< wow

Not if it's part of the filesystem spec; in that case, the other OS's driver should transparently en/decode it. That's why I said filesystems, not having this as a userspace conversion.

I needed to so people would know not to talk to me before I'd had my covfefe

I can't follow you on this one chief. jstpst.net NEEDS a slop factory if we ever hope to keep our DAUs up.

Next up: we take down (f)elon musk! The elongated muskrat himself!

But they were both of them deceived! Ha ha. The fellas get it.

I listen to a ton most of which have no ads, but Behind the Bastards, It Could Happen Here and Better Offline are all I heart radio and they have all kinds of fuck ass ads.

It's so funny to be listening to better offline, where the whole podcast is about how bad AI is, and every ad is about how you NEED to up your AI game to keep up in the market.

The dynamic ad thing I knew about but I didn't think of it when I made this. The "if it got big it would crater the already not great podcast ads business model and put people whose output I like out of work" did occur to me.

I feel like you could may be work around the dynamic ads issue if you were good enough with signal processing. Originally the idea was "the only good use case for an AI I can think of, is one trained to recognize ads in podcasts and skip over them" but then I tried to think how to do it without AI.

Even if you didn't use AI, you could probably do what Shazam did where it could recognize a song. The app would instead, recognize the point in the podcast where they were just about to throw to ads, and when they come back, and skip over anything in between. This would still work with tagging probably.

The podcast companies would come up with countermeasures I'm sure. And it seems quite complex. But I wouldn't have to hear about sports betting as much.

copyright, trademark, no one do this without paying me

How did you enjoy your virgin screwdriver?

Yeah, I really don't like the moves away from GPL type stuff to more corporate friendly software licenses.

100%. They bill it as "you don't have to pay a guy to run your on prem hardware for you" but you absolutely do not save money once you've scaled to the point you need a few machines.

And by that point, your software is probably so tied in to proprietary Amazon stuff that they've got you in a vice.

It's the same model as Oracle: oh we're so easy to use and friendly, and we have all these great Oracle specific features, go ahead and use them! 😊 but then they have you locked in and they can just start squeezing.

Remember, remember, the ides of march, the et tu brute? and plot.

Most I hear people refer to 2010 to 2019 as just "the twenty tens"

the same way homestar picks things up without arms

BOOO!
