If we're going really old school, then Space Invaders. Its way of leveraging the hardware at the time to make the enemies and music speed up after you defeat more of them is elegant. Back then, the more things a game had on screen, the slower it ran. So, destroying more enemies removes more things from the screen, causing both enemies and music to speed up.

This is something that's taken for granted today, but I think at the time, it was genius.

I wonder if this will go differently from Authors Guild, Inc. v. Google, Inc. ChatGPT likely qualifies as "transformative", but I'm uncertain if it qualifies as a "public service" or not given that it has a paid tier. How privacy/personal information ties into this should also be interesting.

Just what we need- crypto bros with a white savior complex

Yeah, I'm glad at least a few YouTubers are starting to mirror content on sites like Odysee though (Such as Louis Rossman). I think that, like Lemmy, it just needs to reach a critical mass of users before it's viable

If you're learning a language, netflix has good tie-ins with language reactor... but if the $9.99 option goes away, I'll just switch to the beta video + subtitle file upload for that

I kind of hate that you're right

I tend to agree. Something federated like PeerTube seems ideal for curating what kinds of content you want, but the data requirements for that are going to be much higher than mostly text and image-based things like lemmy or mastodon

I guess this is the kick in the pants to go over to odysee or somewhere else, huh

I've been watching "Match Me Abroad." Basically, it's people going to other countries in order to find love through a matchmaker service. It's not very good, but it's entertaining.

I'm conversational in Spanish, but I've recently been trying to put more effort into maintaining it/getting exposure to the language. I haven't seriously studied it in almost ten years, so honestly I'm surprised I've maintained any of it.

About a month ago, I started trying to learn Japanese. It's going better than expected, I've been trying to do 1-2 hours per day in stuff like LingQ and Language Reactor. I feel like I'm starting to understand some of it, though I still can't say much more than "えきは どこ です か？" (where is the train station). Still, this is a lot more enjoyable than formal education, so I'm fine if it's slow

Thanks for making this!
