Self hosting could be an option, but it does not help when a country require you to identify if a user is adult or not.

Doesn't self hosting usually exempt you? Most such regulations only apply to commercial entities above some minimum user count.

While I personally strongly favor federated solutions those are of significantly more concern in this regard.


Good luck telling a FOSS project what to do. At the very least you'd have to pay for the work and it seems to me they could claim whatever price they want.

This means someone with tons of money can spam anyone repo, while the lower income people cannot raise as many PR or speak as much as the filthy rich.

The incentives are way off too. Now you have a financial incentive as a maintainter to throw out normally well meaning PR's as "bad".

...which is balanced out by all the other incentives that have the maintainer currently contributing unpaid time & effort.

I don't think those are are valued as we think they should be. Hence this whole system to begin with.

Which is true now as well, but at least the cost is more than zero

It is not blocked by DRM but different codec. Even if you have two MP4 files, but if they were encoded differently ffmpeg will still need to do some computation to join them.


Gapless playback with MSE would require identical encoding, which is likely more prevalent in the Apple catalog than the wild west of Youtube. Client-side transcode would require DRM cooperation.

For two video streams with different encodings, swapping between two media players + prefetch can give a close approximation of a continuous video stream.


This whole piece is just weird.

> Each member of the staff has their own channel, in which they give updates on their work status, ask questions of other teammates, notify of their unavailability, share their uncertainties and thoughts on the program.

When a piece of work require input from two persons, should I ask in project channel or channel of person A or channel of person B?

> Each resident has their own channel, in which they talk to their coach, ask questions of the team, request improvements to their room or writing setup or just generally throw anything they want someone to look at.

If I want input from my coach and not discuss in public, why not DM but channel?


Yeah this just sounds like they want something like mastodon or similar scream-into-the-void apps for sharing things people don't want to read


Unfortunately, another China censored model. Simply ask it to generate "Tank Man" or "Lady Liberty Hong Kong" and the model return a blackboard with text saying "Maybe Not Safe".


This is an issue with your provider. You need to download the model.

It generates an image of a tank and the statue of liberty for those prompts.


The article didn't tell us how



Somehow, it remind me of the Studio Ghibli anime Pom Poko, centering around the theme of the expansion of the Tokyo forcing Japanese Racoon to adopt human life.

Could domestication happened simple because we human expand too much?



Thanks!


It is a cat and mouse game, it is whether the service provider do or not. I remember AWS WAF can block VPN ages ago, according to this announcement, it is 2020.
