  • There is a Brazilian Rock Band with a great song named “Santa Claus son of a bitch” (or maybe motherfucker) here is the Google translate (with light editing) of the first couple verses:

    Santa Claus motherfucker
    Reject the wretched
    I want to kill him!
    That capitalist pig
    
    Give gifts to the rich
    And spits on the poor
    Give gifts to the rich
    And spits on the poor
    



  • It is sad that so much of technological advancement is not freeing people from labor has the opposite effect, making people fight to pay rent and necessities everyday and never having free time to live. There is so much to like in these new Ai technologies but they being wielded by capitalists to extract a little more money. I highly doubt that visual arts is a big expensive in movies and films since usually half the budget is marketing and another big chuck to secure big stars to the project.

    In any case everyone already lost and the Internet is a little bit worst. Reading about this class actions I think no good will come out of it, or the draconian copyright laws will be even worst and small artists will already have lost to the prior models using their content or a “fair use” exception will be made but only for big companies AI and not help small artists and content creators that battle with DMCA abuse taking down fair use vídeos from YouTube and content from over the net anyway.


  • Faster load times and/or less bandwidth. zstd is a newish compression algorithm that has being chosen in a lot of use cases because it can be turned to be faster with the same compression rate or better compression with the same processing time. For the content host it saves bandwidth or CPU time with compression.
