  • I found a number of articles specifically stating that video games and software remain illegal. Unfortunately I couldn’t pinpoint the specific part of the law as they appear to br written in French and was running into hurdles with Google Translate character limits that I couldn’t be bothered to work around.

    I’m not sure if it’s explicitly illegal or if music, videos, etc are explicitly exempted, or if software etc is different due to terms of service for example.

    Furthermore, it’s illegal for anyone to record your IP address torrenting a work and track you down that way as it violates Swiss data protection laws.



  • I don’t think it’s literally a search and replace but a part of the prompt that is hidden from the user and inserted either before or after the user’s prompt. Something like [all humans, unless stated otherwise, should be ethnically ambiguous]. Then when generating it’s got confused and taken it as he should be named ethnically ambiguous.





  • I dropped it with a pop socket on the back and it landed right on the pop socket. You can see where it pushed through the display and caused that circular crack. It was maybe 80% as bad when it happened, the other 20% happened after using it for a year like that. I got so used to reading text only on the top half of the screen 🤣 I loved that phone so much I didn’t want to get rid of it which I only did because large pieces of glass were coming out.

    I ended up getting a Pixel 7 Pro. I only ever had Google phones before the 1+ so it made sense just to switch back after the direction 1+ took around that time.









  • This is not an answer to your question but it’s tangentially related.

    Someone I greatly respected ran an open-source project with the policy of merge everything. Completely flip this idea of carefully review, debate and revise every PR. His theory was that it helps to build an open community, and if something breaks someone else will revert that commit. He says that the main branch was almost always stable, a massive improvement to how it was run previously. He passed several years ago and for some reason this reminded me of him.

    I guess what I’m trying to say is if you get something out there that people find useful, the code will be looked at. It doesn’t help you if you’re looking for someone to collaborate sorry.
