In case you wanted to trust Scroogle and the US Government even less!

From Forbes

Federal investigators have ordered Google to provide information on all viewers of select YouTube videos, according to multiple court orders obtained by Forbes. Privacy experts from multiple civil rights groups told Forbes they think the orders are unconstitutional because they threaten to turn innocent YouTube viewers into criminal suspects.

In a just-unsealed case from Kentucky reviewed by Forbes, undercover cops sought to identify the individual behind the online moniker “elonmuskwhm,” who they suspect of selling bitcoin for cash, potentially running afoul of money laundering laws and rules around unlicensed money transmitting.

In conversations with the user in early January, undercover agents sent links of YouTube tutorials for mapping via drones and augmented reality software, then asked Google for information on who had viewed the videos, which collectively have been watched over 30,000 times.

The court orders show the government telling Google to provide the names, addresses, telephone numbers and user activity for all Google account users who accessed the YouTube videos between January 1 and January 8, 2023. The government also wanted the IP addresses of non-Google account owners who viewed the videos. The cops argued, “There is reason to believe that these records would be relevant and material to an ongoing criminal investigation, including by providing identification information about the perpetrators.”......

The original post was deleted but it linked to this article: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/suno-ai-chatgpt-for-music-1234982307/

TLDR: Suno is a new startup that started with a text to speech AI called bark, but now their latest project is chirp which is for text to music. A new version was just released with results that are almost indistinguishable from real music plus a bunch of new features, and they now offer a subscription that gives you the rights to use them in content or sell on streaming services.

I hate this so much.

Give me a real musician making real music with real instruments and real voices over this crap.

Funny thing is, sometime within the next 5 years, you'll find yourself really enjoying a piece of music, it will be AI generated, and you won't even know.

 

Maybe you have no idea how music is made these days. Most of it, certainly 99% of pop music, is using samples, not live musicians.

:marseyhesright#:

Great, another spam generator in another medium to devalue music as much as possible for basically no good reason.

Who does this help, exactly? People who hate artistic expression?

Ladies and gents, we've reached peak dystopia.

Enjoy the fallout.

:marseypikachu2: Facebook/Meta spied on millions of people with illegal spyware

"Documents and testimony show that this “man-in-the-middle” approach – which relied on a technology known as a server-side SSL bump performed on Facebook's Onavo servers – was in fact implemented, at scale, between June 2016 and early 2019,” plaintiffs claim.

The spyware capable of acquiring, decrypting, and transferring the data was allegedly deployed against YouTube in 2017-2018 and against Amazon in 2018.

The code included a client-side “kit” that installed a root certificate on Snapchat users' mobile devices. Server-side code allegedly used Facebook's servers to create fake digital certificates to impersonate the apps' trusted analytics servers in order to redirect and decrypt the analytics traffic for Facebook's own analysis.

Facebook's secret program likely violated the Wiretap Act, which prohibits intentionally intercepting electronic communications and using such intercepted communications.

TL;DR apps using facebook/meta api (and some VPN they have bought up) to collect data from millions of users and spy on competition. Naturally, a minuscule fine was applied, a slap on the wrist would have been excessive, judges say.

Up until today, you couldn't access Reddit while using a VPN, unless you were logged in. A workaround was to use https://old.reddit.com.

Redis is now Redict

Are you familiar with Redis, the in-memory key-value store used as commonly cache or database? It's been quite a busy week for them.

First, it is now Redict.

Second, Redis Labs, the company - not to be confused with Redis the product - has changed the Redis license from BSD-3 to Server Side Public License SSPLv1.

https://ssplisbad.com/

Timeline of Redis the product:

  • 2008: Salvatore 'Antirez' Sanfilippo creates Redis the product

  • 2015: Antirez gets hired by Redis Labs (formerly Garantia Data)

  • 2018: Antirez sells the trademark and IP rights of the product to the company

  • 2020: Antirez quits and goes away from Redis Labs the company

  • 2024: Redis Labs changed license

This announcement is just after the company released a blog "The Future Of Redis" where they started yapping about AI :marseyemojirofl:

Making Redis the Go-To for Generative AI

we're staying at the forefront of the GenAI wave

There's barely any drama :marseycry: But before we explore the tepid tea, I'd like to do a throwback :marseyxd:

Orange site discusses

The creator, Antirez, responds

Classical "bait-and-switch". Bait users and developers with a fully-open and freely-licensed project, wait for it to gain enough market share, then switch the license to a more restrictive one...

Is it really bait and switch if almost zero users are affected by the change? (except philosophically)

:marseyhesright:

Will no one think of Amazon's profit margins?

We need new licenses that let developers get more of the pie because no one is benefiting from the GPL in the age of cloud computing. Who cares that Linux is open source when I'm locked in aws and can never leave? What does it matter to users when their data is stolen to train Ai models and they don't even know what's in it?

[more arguing]

the trend of milking revenue from a few sources with license changes is cringe.

:marseytroublemaker:

It's about time we stopped calling projects that require copyright assignments "open-source", because they aren't. Regardless of license.

:marseyeyeroll:

As usual, the comment section is full of entitled people whining about “muh open source”.

Like others have said, OSI definition of open source is very outdated and needs to be updated.

Interestingly Microsoft just released https://github.com/microsoft/garnet, it's a research project so I don't hope anything for it, it's gonna fail and die alongside MAUI and WinUI and WPF and everything in the dumpster :marseydead:

However, that data was being shared with data brokers LexisNexis Risk Solutions and Verisk, who'd then sell it to the insurance industry. Earlier this month, the NY Times reported that an owner of a Cadillac XT6 in Florida sued GM after he saw his insurance rates double due to data collected about his driving.

Students get only two bathroom breaks a day for seven minutes each during classtime, and in order to request “bathroom privileges,” they must key in their student ID numbers to the app. It only green-lights them if there are fewer than 25 students taking restroom breaks, and when they return to class, they must key in again or risk losing the right to relieve themselves.

I've caught a whiff of some drama happening in the gacha community. The creators of a waifu game, Azur Lane, are making a new game, Azur Promilia, and this one is rumored to have the unthinkable - playable male characters. So I decided to do some preliminary research on topic, thinking I might make a thread about it here later on. I went to Twitter, logged on my account, and as soon as I typed in "azur pr", the search function automatically recommended this

https://i.imgur.com/RueiwlO.jpeg

Okay, so it looks like it's a topic people are talking about. I clicked on it, and got... nothing.

https://i.imgur.com/7tx77Ph.jpeg

What the heck? No results? Why is it offering "Azur Promilia male" as a search? Did I frick up somewhere in my own search options and filtered results?

https://i.imgur.com/itncuw2.jpeg

No, both of these options are unchecked. So what's going on? Why won't Elon let me see gacha drama on Twitter?

The Context

Epic originally sued Google on August 14, 2020 over the removal of Fortnite on the Google Play Store, which was less than 24 hours after its legal salvo against Apple for the same with iOS App Store. The Epic v. Google finally kicked off with a jury trial on November 6, 2023.

The month that followed was marked by a series of explosive revelations against Google, so darning that the judge presiding over the court case called Google out for, amongst other things, "...intentionally and systematically suppressing evidence". The verdict, handed down on December 12, found Google guilty of anticompetitive and monopolistic behavior.

Yesterday, Epic Games Store tweeted:

We're coming to iOS and Android!

Same fair terms, available to all developers, on a true multi-platform store – with amazing games for everyone.

The Drama

The tweet is posted to /r/Android. There would be a lively discussion about competition, app commissions, and the quality of mobile games... right?

Can't see how this can be a bad thing, but people really seem to have a hateboner for epic

They removed Games from Steam to be exclusive on Epic Games. Greeting from Rocket League

[user A] Aka they offered Devs a good deal to continue developing their games.

[user B] Valve has more exclusives than any other store including any console.

[user C] So? Steam also has "exlusive" games... Valve and steam are the evil ones here.

[Well there are several factors, their exclusivity deals, their way of trying to be a good guy when they are after market share. The fact that more and more developers put their games into their engine. Tencent being one of the big owners.

There are many factors why you shouldnt cuddle with mr tim.](https://old.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1bjk1xb/epic_games_store_were_coming_to_ios_and_android/kvs8sj8/?context=8&sort=controversial)

That's just normal stuff isn't it? I don't understand why everybody is sucking off the clear market leader but hates on companies trying to compete. Steam would do all the same if they needed to but they don't have to. Not because their product is so much better but because of their early moved advantage. I mean steam UI looks like it's from 2008.

Probably a bunch of PC gaming nerds who hate on them for making good games exclusive to epic launcher as opposed to steam.

it's more to do with tim sweeny's lies and hypocrisy, but sure it's just the launchers.

Why can't we say anything about Epic, Sweeney or the EGS without people jumping at our throats defending them?

Doesn't mean that we like google or apple's practices either

it's a weird thing i've noticed where there's so much hate for something, eventually some amount of contrarians will always show up and defend it, even when there's very little to defend. honestly a little baffling.

What people are mad about is Tim Swiney calling Valve's Steam a monopoly while Valve has never forced a developer to be exclusive to Steam lmao.

Most games that were released only on the EGS died there and had to release on Steam after a year to make money and even then it was DOA (the latest Predator game)

The service steam provides is vastly superior to epic, all my friends are on steam, my games for the past 14 years are all on steam.

Valve is historically pro-consumer are innovate in the gaming space, Epic made a child's game super popular and now want a piece of the case, they haven't done anything ground breaking.

 

If anyone wonders why Google lowered the commission on apps from 30% to 15%, it wasn't out of the goodness of their heart. They knew this was coming and didn't want to be undercut by alternative app stores taking a small percentage.

At least Google never outright blocked third party app stores. Instead, made it easier for third party app stores to autoupdate apps.

Apple having to be forced to do this is the real lede.

Yeah instead Google just pretended to be an open platform whilst threatening OEMs and developers behind closed doors, so much better.

Exactly more competition is good for everyone

Sadly what timmy wants isn't competition and instead a walled monopoly

He managed to do it on PC by buying up third party exclusives and I bet will have an easier time on phones

Steam fanboys are a fricking weird breed.

How tf does Epic has a monopoly when Steam controls the majority of the market?

That's called competition. Are we mad about competition now and implying it's shady?

 

Great! More EGS exclusives /s

What exclusives? The only games that Steam has that are exclusive are developed by Valve themselves, publishers choose to be on steam because that's where the players are. Valve has never paid any developer or publisher for exclusivity on Steam.

You write these comments like it doesn't benefit the developer/publisher. God forbid a team of highly talented individuals have done the research and found out going with EPIC meant they can fund their next project etc.

All it means to you is you have to click a different icon on your desktop. Oh no.

EDIT: Why did I expect any rational, non selfish, thought in /Android

Flairs:

Might as well do it by white knighting themselves online

yelling "you fricking people" doesn't make you smart

I was thinking about having several bots, but didnt want to hammer the rdrama API so I split the api querying part of my application off.

Its designed to publish events to redis maintaining an nosqlish database of the retrieved items set to time out in 1 hour.

You could subscribe pretty much as many apps as you want to it and that way only one thing is hitting rdrama at a time

Its also leveraging bottleneck, so if you use bottleneck in your API calls back to rdrama and configure it to use the redis instance, you wont exceed rate limiting, and all your applications will share bandwith nicely

I might grab posts or other things, for now Its just focused on comments.

  • Efficient Data Retrieval: Fetches comments and posts directly from rDrama's APIs, optimized for minimal bandwidth usage.

  • Redis Integration: Utilizes Redis for caching content, significantly enhancing data retrieval speed and reducing API call redundancy.

  • Incremental Fetching: Employs smart fetching strategies to avoid duplicate data retrieval, ensuring that only new or updated content is processed.

  • Scheduled Fetching: Automatically executes data retrieval operations at configured intervals, enabling up-to-date synchronization with rDrama content.

  • Graceful Shutdown: Implements robust error handling and graceful shutdown processes, ensuring data integrity and application stability.

  • Scalable Architecture: Designed with scalability in mind, allowing for easy horizontal scaling to accommodate growing data volumes.
