That isn’t true though, plenty of people engage in creative endevours just for the pleasure of it.
Maybe this channel wouldn’t but as soon as it started relying on other people and platforms there was always the risk those wouldn’t align with the creative message and something would have to give.
Either way the creative control is compromised, just in different ways.
If you are running a business then you should either toe the line with your platform provider or make sure you have alternatives in place to move away from them if you value full creative control.
I don’t think it’s particularly popular either, no one seems to even really know about it.
I guess so, but then that is kind of lumping it in the fps bot behaviour from the 90s which was also “AI”, it’s the AI hype that is pushing people to think of it as “intelligent but not organic” instead of “algorithms that give the facade of intelligence” which 90s kids would have understood it to be.
You aren’t wrong, it is the government’s ham fisted and poorly thought out legislation… I fact the last government’s that this one inexplicably pushed on with despite it not being anything like a priority for the electorate. I’m frankly shocked at how many unforced errors this government is making given how “not being as rubbish as the last lot” was not a high bar to clear.
It’s a load of bullshit, for a start the ISP has my details and should be able to attest my connection is rented by someone of legal age and it should be up to me what I let my children (assuming I have any) see and not see on that connection. I already had to click the “yes just give me the porn damn it” agreement on my mobile phone which was less likely to be randomly shared unmonitored and now this overbearing crap. I’ll just avoid sites and services that require this.
I personally manage my services using ansible, I only set up the actual infrastructure, the virtual machines that run the services, with terraform/opentofu. Docker is one of those in the middle tech between infrastructure and software distribution and it makes more sense to me to treat a service as a role in ansible do I can deploy it (docker, podman package install or whatever), sort it’s networking and handle it’s configuration all in one place. I’m not saying the way you do it is wrong, but this is just a step down the automation rabbit hole.
It doesn’t appear your setup provisions the actual hosts for docker so I guess you are provisioning manually for that layer? That is another area you might want to leverage opentofu for?
Also congrats on actually documenting it in a consumable way for others to learn from.
Exactly. It isn’t clear if duckstations author really has permission from all contributors or rewrote those contributions he didn’t have rights to change the license on. If he didn’t then technically even the latest version is still GPL but it’s fairly murky and I doubt shy sane person wants to fork it and have all that drama.
I think this should have been anticipated after the license change.
I don’t see this as rotten behaviour at all, I see it as a Bobby tables moment teaching an organisation relying on a technology that they better have a their ducks in a row.
I think you hit the nail on the head where this is heading by questioning the final costs. Currently “AI” development is burning through insane piles of money and energy and no one is really paying a significant cost to use it… It’s a loss leader at the moment but it’s unclear if there are many uses for it if it were to be full price. Is it going to be another voice assistant situation where people like usi g it but it’s actually really hard to make any money off it directly?
Frankly I’m horrified that it would go that way and wasn’t aware there were cases like this with sound alike voice actors unless the voice was misleading stated to be of someone it wasn’t.
Do they pay people for use of their voice when they get a cheaper voice actor in who sounds just like them?
Remember how a few years ago 3d displays and VR were being shoved in everyone’s faces? I can see the current “AI” trend going the same way.
There is more than one type of water, but unless your IoT device is a fusion reactor it’s probably just running off the normal blend.
Your average computer user is mainly using it for interacting with various web based services and playing media. Don’t need good input methods for that so tablets are a cheaper and easier to maintain alternative to a laptop.
Tragedy of the commons? Everyone wants to use it, no one wants to put forward the resources to maintain it.
Pirated content of course has no advertising in it, so it makes sense to pay good money for a service that has adverts in it or how else am I going to learn about all those fabulous products I just have to buy?
IMO these kinds of poor man’s automation scripts are only useful to novice sysadmins but those are exactly the kind of people who shouldn’t be running scripts they piped from the internet for both the fact that it’s risky behaviour and the fact they don’t then get the experience doing this manually for themselves to move on from being novice.
That said, let’s not gate keep. If novices don’t want to gain experience actually doing sysadmin work and level up their abilities and just want stuff that will probably work but that they’ll not be able to fix easily if it doesn’t, at least it’s a starting point and when things break some of them will look deeper.
