What competition? All the videos are on YouTube.

Dailymotion, Vimeo, PeerTube, Odysee, etc.

I’ll give you Dailymotion, but…

Vimeo hasn’t tried being a direct YouTube competitor in years — just look and use their site at any point after 2014? 2016? It’s been a while.

While I’d like to see PeerTube succeed, it is hardly a competitor. The content is very… early.


There's also an ARM CPU inside modern x86 processors, little-known fact. Look up AMD's Secure Processor.


They're perfectly capable of inviting you out for coffee. They just can't show up yet.


Well the showing up part is quite important I’d argue.


though, with web access and a credit card and the right information, you could probably get one to order a pizza to your house though.


I’m cool with that as long as it’s not my credit card.


This seems so backwards to me. As a user of LLMs, it's clear to me that tokens generated by ChatGPT and similar are not to be interpreted as a legally-valid statement by the company making the LLMs, unless explicitly stated by said company. I certainly don't engage with them that way. I believe this to be fairly obvious to anyone who has used such tools, so I just see this as an opportunity to sue for a quick buck.


NOYB doesn't make money out of suing. I otherwise agree with the rest of your comment.


I just looked into what noyb is, thank you for pointing this out. Perhaps this is something that had to be brought to court at one point or another, so we can set a precedent one way or the other, then. At the moment I think I'm hoping nothing comes out of this.


Yeah, me too, and I have a recurring donation to NOYB, as they generally do fantastic work. I think this one is a rare miss.


> I believe this to be fairly obvious to anyone who has used such tools

It is not. Not even people in tech understand this, let alone non-technical people. These tools are being marketed as a way to get factual information. Don’t let your knowledge of the technology blind you to the fact that people outside your circle don’t know what you do.


Are the statements by the neighbourhood drunk in the corner pub commonly interpreted as legally valid statements by the individual making them? Nobody takes the drunk seriously, yet the neighbourhood drunk shouldn't be treated more seriously with respect to slander than a large corporation with respect to libel.


Sounds like it was working as intended, then! Doing a great job at it, too.


Sounds, rather, like it was doing the right thing in that case but for the wrong reasons!


I can understand region-locks for products that need to comply with region-specific regulations but for things like these it makes me scratch my head. What's the rationale? Is Mozilla worried goverments elsewhere might not like this? It seems so weird to me.


Since this is based on a set of somewhat site-specific rules, perhaps they just have good coverage of websites typically visited by users in Germany so it's a good way to ship it to some users without disappointing others with a half-working feature?


There was a recent court decision in Germany, ruling that websites must respect the Do Not Track header.


Couldn't get it to work on my first try so I uninstalled it. I configured it to only use chocolatey, which I already use, and it showed two identical entries for "Chocolatey" under installed packages, instead of listing the packages that were already installed through chocolatey. Going into the settings and ticking "use system chocolatey" resulted in only one of the aforementioned entries showing up, but nothing else. I guess I'll keep using the CLI.


I don't use it even when I rarely use Windows - but I think chocolatey has a first-party GUI, if that's all you wanted to configure anyway?


You don't have access to the data that's sent to Google when you connect the phone to the internet, so how does that help you mitigate or at least be aware of a supply-chain attack? Conversely, if you got a brand new phone, the bootloader is supposed to be locked, so wouldn't you immediately be aware of tampering if it wasn't?


So you're scraping HN comments for people's personal information and selling access to it for $300/month?


Yes. I'm charging for the work I did parsing and categorizing all the open information, making it easy for businesses to filter and find perfect candidates.


$299/mo might be a little overpriced. Not in terms of actual value but in terms of psychology. You might find a bigger market share by dropping to $29.99.


The target audience are businesses, hence why I thought to charge more. For now I'm testing if the product works and there is a need. Will adjust pricing and other components once I see some results.
