People are being cynical about the laws applying equally to Big Corps vs regular people.

If we make a special case for abolishing copyright if it means you’re training an AI model, does that mean that now everyone can download copyrighted material if they do some form of locally hosted training?

The answer will probably end up being: one rule for the corporations and another for individuals.

the federal government should embrace policy frameworks that preserve access to data for fair learning

Sounds like we’re good to download anything then as long as we get the copyright material for that purpose.

It’s still going to sell really well even if it’s just pretty Skyrim.

Damn I should use signal

Legend. Actually, I saw a comment further up the thread after writing mine. I installed the beta straight away, works great!

That was the case for me when I got my PS5, I had to manually set the PS5 to being the primary, even though I didn’t even own the PS4 any more.

Revanced, ublock origin solved the ads issues on android and on the browser.

Anyone have a (free) solution for Google tv?

PS4 may still be your primary console.

Fair enough! I’ve wanted to move the in-laws family group messages away from Messenger, but the family doesn’t see the point.
