Made a living doing VO for several years before AI ate most of the market. Basically you just work under contracts and hope for the best. If your client breaks contract maybe you can sue if you have the resources. I’ve sent a few C&D’s that successfully stopped some people from using my voice commercially after having paid me a non-profit rate. The majority of the time, the contract is enough to keep clients in line.
I remember instances where the force required to disconnect the connector caused me to slip and rip a wire out.

Or even the whole title, really
Extend, Embrace, Extinguish?
Honestly, fuck this assertion that you can somehow infer a person’s motivations and morals from what kind of pet companion they prefer. I’ve legit seen it argued that if you like dogs and don’t like cats, you’re “probably a rapist” because you “can’t understand consent.”
I enjoy cats. I don’t prefer to own one. Am I a monster because of this? How about, I just love my dog?
What do you want him to do, exactly?
Couldn’t possibly agree more. One of the biggest barriers to sharing my enthusiasm for Linux with my friends is filtering out all of the cringey anime weeb shit that somehow gets posted along with it. Why does open source software need to be associated with creepy drawings of little girls? Absolutely the worst vibes.
Fun fact: It doesn’t even meet Apple’s own standard for text contrast!
Dude… Who here is asking for “a magical piece of PCB for free?” I’m assuming that means you think people are asking for free phones?
See the last sentence of my original comment.
It’s about the social phenomenon around the imessage chat colors, which is intentional on Apple’s part. You must have a social in-group and an out-group. To be in the in-group, you must purchase the correct products, subscribe to the correct services.
CONSUME
Apple doesn’t “share a lot of the blame.” The blame belongs solely to Apple and their insistence on a closed ecosystem. They intentionally hamstring any cross functionality with competing devices, even features as simple as text messaging. It’s important for Apple to foster a cult-like mentality among their consumers.
So write a law against certain advanced mathematics. And prosecute anyone who uses advanced math. Best of luck with that. AI is math. You’re demonstrating that you don’t understand what the technology actually is or does by comparing algorithms to objectively immoral actions.
In real life, the cat does not go back into the bag. You can legislate behavior to shape society, to an extent. You can’t legislate what kinds of math people are allowed to do, it’s just not going to work.
You’re not operating within the realm of reality, which is why people don’t take you seriously.
I know, I know, go fuck myself, I’m an anti-human, not worthy of life, etc. I get it, you can spare me the reply.
Enjoy yourself bud.
You seem to know so much about me, simply from the observation that you can’t “ban” an entire concept like that in the real world. Amazing!
I see you’ve got some big feelings about this. Maybe try to express them without the hateful abusive language. Hope your day gets better!
Trying to ban AI is like trying to ban math. Or staple Jello to a tree. It just doesn’t work that way.
They won’t be including encryption so it’s not quite feature parity but yeah
I hope Framework takes note and is working on their own ARM laptop.
I was surprised by how well Garuda KDE just… Works. Many users warned me to stay away from the smaller distros like Garuda but I’ve had zero issues after 6+ months of everyday use on 2 devices.
