dingledork69··on Former Dolphin team member addresses Steam/Valve’s takedown of Dolphin emulator
The deck is portable like the switch.
dingledork69··on Former Dolphin team member addresses Steam/Valve’s takedown of Dolphin emulator
Probably something along the lines of: emulators are legal and indie developers upload their software to steam all the time

Explain why? Do you think it's ethical to have sold games that can't be played anymore?
dingledork69··on Google account deleted after 2 hours of Aurora
I've grabbed them in the past for decompiling games and never encountered anything odd. The ads on the website are horrendous though, which I figured was their main source of revenue.
dingledork69··on Google account deleted after 2 hours of Aurora
There's been many stories of entire companies being banned from Google services due to their affiliation with a freelancer who broke Google's rules years ago for a different client.
dingledork69··on Dolphin on Steam Indefinitely Postponed
Using dolphin does not equal piracy.
dingledork69··on Dolphin on Steam Indefinitely Postponed
They release the software they created on steam, same as any other indie developer. Its not like they are distributing roms or making emulators is illegal.

So got any links to such cases? Its 100% certain some kids have sent invalid DMCA notices over the years. It's basically a prank that doesn't get you into trouble, at this point.

Yikes, this should be more well known. The bigcorps enjoying and abusing their protection from the law, while bullying people into submitting from them and shielding their own workers from any consequences.
dingledork69··on Dolphin on Steam Indefinitely Postponed
So when a bigcorp says jump you expect everyone to just do so?

I'm not American, and would like something pseudonymous.
dingledork69··on AI tools like ChatGPT are built on mass copyright infringement
LLMs are just a novel compression algorithm.
dingledork69··on Firefox displayed a pop-up ad for Mozilla VPN over an unrelated page
So they're conducting psy-ops on their users to manipulate them into behaving in a way that Mozilla decided is best? I'm a fan of Firefox, but that's bizarre.

How is that related to a web browser?
dingledork69··on Reddit's API Changes
Anyone know of any sane alternatives to reddit?

Thanks so much for linking that. This is 1000% on point and I'm so confused with what mozilla has been doing the past few years. It's like the organization as a whole suffered a stroke, and the result is this flowery meaningless prose.
dingledork69··on PostgreSQL 16 Beta 1
Because pgbouncer's transaction-based pooling, which is what the previous poster was referring to, breaks a few postgres features. This is fine for most applications, but not all. See the table on https://www.pgbouncer.org/features.html

dingledork69··on How to Finetune GPT-Like Large Language Models on a Custom Dataset
I wonder how they reconcile naming themselves "Open"AI, telling people that generated works can be used however they please, except for training a potential competitor.

Go on.
dingledork69··on Podman Desktop 1.0
Setting up a Kubernetes service is the way to go, though you could also use NodePort on the pods.
dingledork69··on GPT detectors are biased against non-native English writers
> Apple's neural engine has been around in phones and laptops for years. Not even close to what's required for offline chatgpt.

Well, yeah. It's been around for years and chatgpt is new. My years old GPU doesn't run the latest games either, and chatgpt is novel technology so the hardware will of course lag behind a bit. But it will come.

dingledork69··on Meta fined $1.3B over data transfers to U.S.
You ask consent from both users to store it wherever you'd like.
dingledork69··on GPT detectors are biased against non-native English writers
You are fooling yourself if you think the next generation of CPUs won't have ML coprocessors.

Locally ran models exist, and more will come and they'll become cheaper and easier to run.
dingledork69··on Suspicious iOS KeePass Client
But then apple couldn't gouge every app developer for an additional 2k. Right now you must buy a Mac to have the privilege of building and uploading iOS apps.
dingledork69··on Suspicious iOS KeePass Client
I thought the approved by apple line of thinking was that the app store is a mecca of safe and trustworthy apps?
