I pay for premium because currently it's the easier option for getting no Ads on all my devices. Yes I could install a third party client on my TV, Phone & use uBlock on Desktop, but two of those require active upkeep.

  • YouTube Music is included.

For sponsorships, YouTube Premium has the "Skip Ahead" feature which basically leeches off sponsorblock users where commonly skipped sections can be also skipped by you.

It's just currently easier to pay than to pirate. I will say however, if it gets too shitty, I will resort back to pirating.

I can personally recommend Duck Game. It supports 8 player local play.

It's a fighting game that plays on a single screen. Quite fast paced and not everyone's kind of game but so far in my experience it's been fun whenever guests come.

With Hetzner you can get "Storage Boxes" and mount those. They are pretty cheap for 1tb and 5tb. From my experience they are fast enough for media streaming for multiple people.

I don't really have a favourite genre, but recently I have been really enjoying the artist Rob Feather

I don't really know how to describe their music but it tickles my brain in a good way.

I'm still so mad that power automate requires an online connection to start up and a Microsoft account.

[–] Simyon@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Fair enough, though another possibility I see is that the automated training process for LLMs used OCR for those papers (Or an already existing text version in the internet was using bad OCR) and those papers with the mashed word were written partially or fully by an LLM.

Either way, the blanket term "AI" sucks and it's honestly getting kind of annoying. Same with how much LLMs are used.

Wouldn't it be OCR in this case? At least the scanning?

I pay for Premium and if they actually do this I'll stop my subscription. Web DRM is stupid and I hate that other Streaming Services already have it. Apart from being another resource sink in browsers, it'll stop third party clients which I use and it also turns off Nvidia Shadowplay which is annoying as it doesn't automatically turn back on once the DRM content is no longer loaded.

Yes, Sync is Android.

Why the hostility? I get not liking AI (I do not like it either), but being hostile is not necessary. Especially since the Fediverse (Sorry if this is the wrong terminology) is meant to be open and allow communities of all kinds. If you do not like something, downvote it or just block the community it is from and move on, no need to be hostile about it.

(Sync user here) Sadly there hasn't been much activity from the Developer. I really like the App, but I've been seeing more issues lately. Nothing major, but it is concerning.
