I’d be interested to know exactly when this was published. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a satirical take on a shortage of switchboard operators in Hungary at the time.

Technology@lemmy.world•Apple Faces £3 Billion UK Trial Over iCloud Lock-In ClaimsEnglish
8·13 days agoWhich? argues that a customer who would have theoretically paid £1.99 for the service but was not able to do so because the actual £2.99 price was unaffordable suffered a £1 loss, even though the customer paid nothing.
Maybe you have to be a lawyer to understand this, because to me it sounds like complete nonsense.

Technology@lemmy.world•Notepad++ Creator Don Ho Calls Out "Fake" MacOS App Over Trademark ViolationEnglish
6·16 days agoYep, CotEditor is fantastic - solo dev and they’re very careful to follow the actual macOS interface guidelines, so it looks and feels native throughout.

133·17 days agoKind of funny to see how much longer the original German is to express the same dialogue, even accounting for the difference in font size.
For extra context: szünet is Hungarian for intermission
Not these days. Apple hasn’t launched a new product with the ‘i’ prefix since Steve Jobs was around.

Technology@lemmy.world•ChatGPT Became So Obsessed With Goblins That OpenAI Had to InterveneEnglish
9·19 days agoI’m willing to bet it’s people seeing an ‘AI bad’ headline, upvoting, and moving on without reading.
I don’t like AI either but the hivemind on the fediverse is just as bad as back on Reddit sometimes.

Technology@lemmy.world•Taylor Swift files to trademark her voice and likeness in era of AI deepfakesEnglish
1·21 days agoI’m not certain. That might fall under falsely implying endorsement, which is one of the few exceptions.
Started playing Scriptorium: Master of Manuscripts yesterday and it’s very much inspired by stuff like this.

Technology@lemmy.world•Taylor Swift files to trademark her voice and likeness in era of AI deepfakesEnglish
3·23 days agoFun fact: there’s no general concept of image/likeness rights in the UK, and photographers own the full copyright of any photos they take.
There are other laws that come into play if you were in a private place or if your likeness is used to falsely imply endorsement, but otherwise if someone takes your photo in public they can do whatever they want with it.
(Obvious disclaimer that I’m not a lawyer but the above is my understanding of the law.)

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•This ‘anti-Grammarly’ AI tool adds typos to your emails on purposeEnglish
4·24 days agoBecause it’s a service using cloud AI. Processing text uses tokens, tokens cost money, hence the subscription fee.
It’s a dumb app - deliberately so - but it costs money to run and a one-off payment won’t cut it if people start using it to modify hundreds or thousands of emails.

301·26 days agoIn some cases they’re deliberately allowed to operate as a honey trap, allowing authorities to identify and arrest as many users as possible.
If you simply shut the site down, the users go elsewhere and you have to find them again.

3619·1 month agoHilarious that you got downvoted into the negative for daring to voice a dissenting opinion. Truly, Lemmy is a child of Reddit.

Technology@lemmy.world•Deezer says 44% of songs uploaded to its platform daily are AI-generated | TechCrunchEnglish
29·1 month agoI strongly oppose the use of generative AI in art but if it has to be done, it should at least be labeled as AI.
I know I’m mostly preaching to the choir here, but I don’t think there’s any situation in which AI ‘has’ to be used in art.

Nintendo@lemmy.world•Ratatan Dev Cancels The Switch VersionEnglish
6·2 months agoAfter lengthy discussions with our publisher Game Source Entertainment, we have decided that the projected number of units we could sell for legacy hardware would not justify the licensing fees necessary to complete those SKUs.



No, it’s closer to The Sims or Animal Crossing - a sandbox you fill with little computer-controlled characters, and then see what happens.
