Since when is playing a movie off of a projector illegal? Projection is not necessarily distribution, just as playing local media files is not necessarily piracy. I will definitely be grabbing my popcorn for the legal show though
I decided to work towards pivoting away from full stack web and mobile development into something deeper, something closer to the metal, and something that could have a physical end result.
I started programming at 12 because I loved games and wanted to grow up to become a game developer. Then life happened and I had to drop out of high school, find work (in web and mobile), which is what I have now been doing for the past decade.
After just a few years into actually working, I had the thought that maybe the thing I’m passionate in isn’t actually valuable to companies. Getting existential anxiety around the age of 20 is insane. So I instead figured “fuck it, I’ll play this game until I can finance returning to school, continue my education, and go from there.”
Over the years, this sort of existential “this is my passion, but I hate doing it as a job” just grew and grew up until we had AI.
That just made things even more unbearable, up until now when I decided that if I’m going to be working in this bullshit industry, I’d rather be doing something which I enjoy.”
Using AI to build software has for me removed nearly everything that has still kept me thinking that maybe I could power through it. So now, I’m going to instead dive into actually learning C, then moving more towards embedded devices, and ultimately trying to pivot (or grow) my skillset towards that area instead. Since I also love to teach, my plan is to start both documenting my journey through videos, and to try to also get my feet wet with trying to make educational content.
For money though, I have no fucking clue what I’ll do. But the important thing for me is that whatever I do, or however much I make - at least I’ll enjoy the journey, instead of waking up miserable.
If I understand GDPR and “the Right to be forgotten” properly, then yes - they would have to actually delete the information.
Edit: at least when it comes to PII, which I presume should include photos of you, or any personal detail of you. The content you may have posted there up until then - that might be a different story
If you have real traffic and bot traffic, you still need to identify which is which. On top of that, bots very likely don’t reuse the same IPs over and over again. I assume if we knew all the IPs used only by bots ahead of time, then yeah it would be simple to blacklist them. But although it’s simple in theory, the practice of identifying what to blacklist in the first place is the part that isn’t as simple
My favorite part about the channels is specifically the music channels. I very much enjoy having a chance to re-listen to songs I’ve forgotten about or which aren’t in my daily rotation.
Similarly, there used to be this place called The Trees Network which essentially had a very similar “watching TV” feel, except it also had a community feature (live chat, content recommendations, etc). It was mostly meant for people getting stoned and wanting to “watch TV” together with other, but has since shut down (presumably because of copyright related issues or something)
Are you by chance planning to include any “community channels” or stuff like that by chance?
