the team behind Critical Role just launched its own subscription membership service called "Beacon"

pretty cool to see a creative team trying out a new model to give them so much control over their own content/platform

One answer to that perennial problem is: don't. Start building with p2p as soon as you can and support those who are building platforms you might use in future, such as .

What Happens When a Romance Writer Gets Locked Out of Google Docs: In March, an aspiring author got a troubling message: All of her works in progress were no longer accessible. What happened next is every writer’s worst fear. Remember, the cloud is just someone else’s computer https://www.wired.com/story/what-happens-when-a-romance-author-gets-locked-out-of-google-docs/

@nixCraft Once Upon A Time it was like "you trust the bank to look after your money, don't you? - so why wouldn't you trust the cloud to look after your bits?"

Point is that I don't trust the bank to look after my money. What I trust them to do is replace it if they cock up and lose it, with different, but identically useful, money of their own, sourced from somewhere else that isn't my concern.

It's the "identically useful" that's hard if a cloud provider loses your particular collection of bits.

How high would her word count have to be to go beyond the capacity of a resonable usb pen drive? We are not talking about 8k video files here. Backing up important work has been drilled into me from IT class day dot. To trust so much to something completely beyond her control is just daft.

@Xarizzar there isn't a specific reason, i just never started using it and then all the stuff came out about how terrible it is for artists and that was enough motivation to keep me away forever

The problem with outsourcing your chat or forum to third parties is that you don't own them. That is correct

The problem with self hosting those things yourself is that 1. nobody will use them because why aren't you just using this 3rd party app that everyone is already using and 2. have fun doing your own spam control

Seems like a bit of a damned if you do damned if you don't situation if you ask me

@gilesgoat @akjcv i mean you can use shopping cart software to help with all that but at that point why wouldn't i just host my game on itch.io and use their buy widget

@eniko @akjcv "itch.io" is "itch.io" even if I never used it it's a name that even I know 😄 So it's Steam and PSN store or such .. "those are the big names that everyone knows" you can just say "my games are in there" you don't even need to give a link out .. That's the point.

This is funny. OpenAI, who scraped the entire internet to build its product, is now enforcing copyright via notices. They still don’t give credit for stealing content from everyone, yet now acting like holier-than-thou https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/1cnvyzp/

    @nixCraft So ChatGPT text is based on copyrighted content, and it's copyrighting that content, all while being sued by the New York Times for bypassing their paywall... And in the next few years OpenAI will run out of quality content and will feed the text generated by their model back into its model to make more copyright content...

    As any company can now steal all the copyrighted content to train an AI, I would like to do the same for my personal AI.

    Trump asked Big Oil execs to give him $1 billion for his campaign.

    He promised lower taxes and a rollback of Biden's climate regulations and clean energy programs in return.

    Trump is literally willing to take bribes in exchange for the destruction of the planet.

    Be warned.

    ...At 2:14 p.m., Trump walks in, entourage in tow.

    Boris Epshteyn just handed a piece of paper with a photo on it to Kaitlan Collins.

    I thought he maybe said "Conway" to her, but I'm not exactly sure.

    @GottaLaff NFL - Her ability to tell the story, and the effect it would have had on the campaign, is important regardless of its veracity. She literally does not need to have been honest for this story becoming public to be a campaign impacting event, and for this scheme to therefore be a campaign contribution.

    @yora pretty much I was trying to reach for another term for when a computer plays a nontrivial role in the structure and creation of a work, but the creative decisions are direct active decisions made by the human or humans who made the work.

    tfw you see a memory_order_relaxed atomic load, prefaced by a comment saying "technically we should use memory_order_consume here" ➡️ 🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉 ⬅️

    wingo OP ,
    @wingo@mastodon.social avatar

    @moonchild @pkhuong @pervognsen i have a general theory that people that conclude they can use a memory order that is not acq/rel or seq_cst are smarter than me but more foolish

    pervognsen , (edited )
    @pervognsen@mastodon.social avatar

    @wingo @moonchild @pkhuong There are plenty of cases with mo_relaxed which are easy to think about but in the general case it's definitely nebulous. I assume you've seen all the out-of-thin-air (OOTA) stuff with mo_relaxed... Apparently mo_relaxed, as it stands, didn't formalize what the designers thought it formalized. It's kind of like the Peano axioms and the standard model of natural numbers vs non-standard models.
