True music enthusiasts will holdout for a while but I think AI music will easily replace most Pop currently on the radio and streaming for your average Joe. That stuff has been "fake" as early as the mid 2000's by being quantized straight to the grid, pitched, with programmed drums, guitar, even vocals and then churned out like widgets on a conveyor belt.


Anybody got a qcow image laying around with Windows 98 working in virt-manager? I've managed to get a 98lite install "working", but it's got some issues. The sound with AC97 is hit or miss and sb16 doesn't seem to be an option in virt-manager.


To access the IGDB API you'll need a Twitch account and a valid phone number for 2FA verification.

No thanks.


In an alternate timeline, maybe he would have become more of a dangerous liability, but I think it would have been cheaper for the CIA to overthrow him in any case


The CIAs track record here is terrible. It basically only succeeds if there is already a viable opposition that it can hand bags of cash.

It can't create regime change out of nothing, despite what it's detractors and its own propaganda might claim.


Pretty good, but what I really want is this skin and MSN messenger skin for Signal desktop.


At about 2:33:15 here, Zuckerberg somewhat alludes that Meta can take screenshots of WhatsApp messages.

Does it even need to be screenshots?

Surely when I open up a chat in Whatsapp it would be as easy as doing a foreach on every msgElement.text value on screen and copying it to the mothership in plain text. After all, when I am reading them, they're decrypted.

Or, when I send a message, as soon as I press the "Send" button, send a copy to the mothership.

Perhaps I'm not seeing it right but it must be this simple. Right?

At least with an open source app you can inspect the "Send" code and see if it calls "SendToMothership" when it also calls "SendToRecipient".


What I got from your comment and from that interview were very different. He starts that bit with “when I text you on WhatsApp”. The “we” refers to Mark and Joe (Alice and Bob), not Meta (Eve).
