Every time I consider learning more JS because it’s widely used I find myself between a rock and a hard place. It’s popular but it probably shouldn’t be and I don’t want to contribute to it being used even more for whatever mad shit is being attempted now.
Oh yeah, they were saying similar stuff about Canada, weren’t they?
Possible but not probable in this context.
I stand corrected!
I was aware of the ruling but not of the fair use defence.
If I actually thought they were obscure it seems unlikely I would have known the name of the format.
I don’t think that’s how Fair Use works.
…by which I mean, it’s not.
Not that it really matters. Much like those idiotic FBI warnings on media. I’m in the UK and seeing them annoys me no end. The pirated stuff doesn’t have the warning! I bought it! Fuck off! Also you have no jurisdiction, you arrogant twats.
I literally use them for my baby. I’ve got stacks of old rubbish on tape (got them for free) that’s getting taped over to provide easy, tactile storage of spoken word and music. Nothing obscure is being destroyed - it’s naff compilation tapes and similar shite. If they wear out then I can just dump the digital audio onto another tape.
They’re easy to choose from, don’t play infinitely, fairly hard-wearing, and the quality isn’t bad because the tape deck I record with is a fancy direct-drive unit.
It’s kinda funny recreating some old Swedish comedy stuff for her. As in, when I was little I had tapes that were either dubbed from other tapes or from records that a family member borrowed from a library in Stockholm. For my daughter I’m grabbing the audio from YouTube rather than the library abroad, but the end result is the same. Multiple levels of nostalgia and a load of tapes aren’t going to landfill.
Do you realistically think someone commenting on the Fediverse about media would seriously consider audio cassettes, one of the most popular media formats of the twentieth century, to be an obscure format?
Cassette tapes were such an obscure format.
Hurt them more than that.
Ew ew ew.
No one is asking for AI, you weirdos!
But is peristalsis not being stimulated enough normally due to lack of fibre?
Does this connect with the American thing about coffee making them shit?
We’re in the middle of a release and last week was a lot. I shouldn’t have stepped into the thread!
I really don’t feel like getting in depth about work on the weekend, sorry.
I’m perplexed as to why there’s so much advertising and pushing for AI. If it was so good it would sell itself. Instead it’s just sort of a bit shit. Not completely useless but in need of babysitting.
If I ask it to do something there’s about a 30% chance that it made up the method/specifics of an API call based on lots of other similar things. No, .toxml() doesn’t exist for this object. No, I know that .toXml() exists but it works differently from other libraries.
I can make it just about muddle through but mostly I find it handy for time intensive grunt work (convert this variable to the format used by another language, add another argparser argument for the function’s new argument, etc…).
It’s just a bit naff. It cannot be relied on to deliver consistent results and if a computer can’t be consistent then what bloody good is it?
MS being shitty? Naaaah
They took out H264 hardware support?
Old racist xenophobe says something racist and xenophobic. Colour me shocked.
Don’t comply in advance.
