we have stood with the artist community against piracy

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Anna’s archive is not giving you song downloads, but rather metadata

over a massive music data scrape

So when are you going to sue AI companies?

Isn’t that like three days of revanue?

Honestly was just trying to show a point, math itself was secondary, my bad

Huh? It’s the businesses that will suffer from that 30% tax. It’s like suddenly seeing your Netflix subscription being more expensive and that triggers this “do I even need it anymore?” evaluation

If it costs 13€ to support a 10€ Patreon pledge, then how do you expect the company to cover for that? Paying the creator less? Still, that will spawn competition, which again hurts the business

The article does not describe what encryption it uses, it described how they’re abusing it. Whatsapp using Signal protocol is public knowledge.

What I’m trying to say is that a company using signal for it’s messaging app does not imply your data is safe from that company or governments.

You recommending an app purely because of Signal protocol under an article about how an app abuses signal protocol is pretty fucking ironic (aka. bad timing)

EDIT: Alright TikTokkers, I looked up the source on Google so that you don’t have to spend 30 seconds: https://signal.org/blog/whatsapp-complete/

You can stop downvotting me now.

Read more than just the title ffs

Read the article? An app using signal does not imply that your data is still encrypted from corporations or government. Your neighbour joe is not very likely to break already established SSL, so using signal feels like someone is trying to sell me a bridge. Sense of false security. In fact, that was probably their goal all along.

The telegram was clear as a day they announced cooperation with the Russian government and they unblocked it. That was way before the whole France fiasco, I doubt they’re actually giving up the keys to France. I’m from East and many say that Telegram now is essentially a Russian weapon. Surveillance at home, total free reign (sell drugs, spread CP, etc.) in west.

If you’re American, I believe Telegram is actually safer than Whatsapp, as long as you can ignore the dirty side of it (surface deep web?), hence why Europe wants it under control

Well, Whatsapp uses signal. Bad timing

Debatable

My experience is that they all look terrible up close, for whatever reason. TVs are essentially designed for further-back viewing

I love how “After Trump won” is a legit basepoint when everything went to shit, even if unrelated (AI was going to happen regardless of politics)

It’s the main purpose of them, yes. Define TV to me. I don’t see the point of paying for decoders, smart TV and bunch of other things I’ll never use, much smarter decision is to buy a monitor which focuses on image quality and performance, far more suitable for consoles, Roku, etc.

Commenter above low-key described that OLED as a monitor more than a TV

TV

2026

Honestly, don’t remember the last time I watched TV
