The headline is misleading. It only applies if you want to watch videos tagged 18+.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

Sorry, I didn’t realise it was paywalled. It didn’t prompt me to pay when I opened it. It’s not a source I usually use, but I couldn’t find an alternative unless from much less reputable sites.

I think the law would only apply above a certain number of monthly users, so small platforms are safe from it for now.

That one works. Thanks!

Is there any information about what model it uses and what the context window size is? I asked it and it avoided the answer (but asking it is not a reliable way to determine this anyway).

EDIT: Found it here:

Lumo is powered by open-source large language models (LLMs) which have been optimized by Proton to give you the best answer based on the model most capable of dealing with your request. The models we’re using currently are Nemo, OpenHands 32B, OLMO 2 32B, and Mistral Small 3. These run exclusively on servers Proton controls so your data is never stored on a third-party platform

And aren’t there similar proposals in the EU anyway?

I hadn’t heard of this before, so I tried a few public instances listed on their GitHub repo. They’re all throwing a json error. Do you have a link that works for you?

I don’t have the space and equipment to grill anything myself, but I’ve never seen fish cut in half before grilling like this. Is this common practice?

No. I’m not aware of a good way to sync music to the built-in iOS player; you have to go through iTunes.

You don’t need Plex for that. A simple local music player will do just fine if you always want your whole library stored locally.

Archive.is works by saving snapshots of pages, unlike 12ft, which just stripped the paywall on the fly. With very new pages, a snaptshot might not be saved yet. In that case, go to the home page and use the box to ask to make a new snapshot now. It will take a minute and then you should see it.

There is a selfhosted tool called 13ft which does exactly that. But in my experience, there are paywalls that it doesn’t succeed to get around but 12ft.io could.

In particular, Notion employees are saying that they are not listening to audio from your microphone, but just checking whether other processes in the system are using the microphone. There is a setting to disable this entirely.

Copy-pasting from the thread:

1. Notion records audio only during your use of the Meeting Notes feature. Here are the docs: https://www.notion.com/help/ai-meeting-notes

2. Notion desktop app has notifications about meetings that ask you if you want to use Meeting Notes, it recognizes this by detecting that your microphone is on (i.e. it does not listen to audio coming from your microphone). This feature is a setting in preferences btw, under Notifications > Desktop meeting detection notification.

source: I work for Notion

The Notion desktop app will observe if there is a process running on your computer that is actively using your microphone, such as Zoom.

I’m using the latest version of the app and I don’t see this setting. I’ve also never seen these meeting notifications. It’s possible that you only get them if you have AI features enabled in your workspace, which I don’t. (I read a while ago that you can email support to ask them to disable it. I wrote a short email, and they replied within a day that it had been done, no questions or push-back.)

But she added: “We know a lot of that information is out there anyway, but people will be worried”

The fact that others have insecure systems is not an excuse for keeping one yourself.

I recommend Borgmatic, a declarative way to set up borg backups. I find it much nicer than a having a backup.sh script and the configuration is really straight-forward.

Yeah, I think it might be some kind of rate limiting. In another thread, it happened to someone else after batch-downloading videos with yt-dlp, which also prevented yt-dlp from downloading. Then it was back to normal (no sign in required) a few hours later.

That’s very informative! Thanks a lot for your input.

What is it about Samsung software that you find more robust? Have you ever felt like the OnePlus was unreliable when you needed it?

Thanks for your comments!

Have you experienced any bugs or reliability issues with the OnePlus phone? This is my biggest concern with it compared to Samsung.

I’ve seen anecdotes from people saying they prefer 13R over Pixel 9. What worries me the most is the quality of the software: I keep seeing screenshots of UI glitches, and I don’t know if that suggests reliability is mediocre.

Samsung’s software has been rock solid for me. This is the biggest plus for Samsung in my book.
