For development, I have a single image per project tagged “dev” running locally in WSL that I overwrite over and over again.
For real builds, I use pipelines on my Azure DevOps server to build the image on an agent using a remote buildkit container and push it in my internal repository. All 3 components hosted in the same kubernetes cluster.
They could implement restrictions to block VPN traffic. But that would be repealed as fast as it came when these very congressmen would phone angrily their district on why they can work from their million dollar home anymore.
Support: Sorry VPNs are now blocked and you cannot work remotely without them
Congressman: Who are the idiots that voted for these laws
Support: Well, you and your friends
Even if they updated to a new version, the hack clients developers would probably just update their custom clients to ignore Mojang’s server ban list and call it a day.
The new EULA is a joke and it’s easier to tell everyone to use a third party client (which is most of the time better than the official one) than try to abide to them.
If it is using chatgpt as a backend, my guess is that they are using Azure OpenAI and know what they are doing.
Azure OpenAI allows you to turn off abuse monitoring and content filtering if you have legitimate reasons to do so.
It would be very hard for a malicious actor to get the approval to turn off both using a front company. But if one would manage to do it, they could create such malicious chatGPT service with little to no chance to be found out.
No. Kbin is it’s own seperate project and software https://github.com/ernestwisniewski/kbin
In addition, Facebook already had support for XMPP at some point in time but killed it.
Why? Because they couldn’t dry users off other platforms after Google closed their own support for XMPP.
Even if Meta “play nice”, we already know their aim. Siphon users off mastodon and then remove activityPub support when most servers are on life support from loss of users.
Show them this video and tell them this is what happens when you neglect your teeths. https://libreddit.domain.glass/r/popping/comments/py6qlw/teeth_cleaning_i_feel_this_was_the_most/
Nearly nobody will get a mouth that bad if they at least care to look at their teeths from time to time and have a basic hygiene, both dietary and oral.
But to at least get them interested, this video does the work really well.
(The video shows removal of a massive plaque of tartar. So I don’t recommend anyone uncomfortable, with looking at the inside of mouths and with seeing some bleeding, to watch this video)
Let’s not forget the unmentioned income thanks to gathering all that user data.
The real value of Youtube (and social medias in general) is not the raw revenue they generate.
It’s being able to be able to predict what will trend in advance to sell ads to anyone, anywhere. Which is proven by their 200+ billions in revenue from ads from all services.
It’s extremely likely that in an alternate universe where Google doesn’t own YouTube, their profit today is lower than what they currently have.
But like you said, poor YouTube is not making money explicitly on its own so they’ll use it to justify any cost increase attempt when they already know what the real money maker is.
