That's interesting, I've honestly had zero issues with LR on my S23U! It's been an absolute dream.

Love this, you've described my exact process. I keep a compact SD reader in my EDC, and I'll often get my RAWs onto my phone before I get home, get some selects and crops and light edits done, and then take over on my MacBook — the photos having synced in Adobe cloud before I even get home.

Nice! I'm pleased to say my S23U holds up to editing lots of huge photos without getting too hot, so I'm stoked with that.

I also use a Tab S8 (did you mean Tab S8 series btw?) and it performs well too.

Do you pay for youtube premium?

[–] mikestevens@lemdro.id 1 points 2 years ago

Well, yeah, but right now lemmy is pretty convenient. No instances are asking users to pay or donate, and obviously many people would sooner flee to another instance than accept the idea of paying for the service they use. But that can't work for an actual business.

This is the level-headed reply I was hoping for.

Well, I'm no copyright lawyer and no enthusiast of the topic, but your confidence suggests you might be?

I can't access the article anymore, but where you've said "if they're suing over summaries of their books" — aren't they suing over OpenAI using the entire text of their books to teach ChatGPT?

I've just done some quick googling, because your post led me to wonder, and it seems Cliffnotes is considered fair use because it summarises the books, using snippets of text for that purpose only.

Whereas, if OpenAI is using their books to teach their AI, they're effectively creating derivative works every time those learnings are used in a chat response — especially if the request is "write this in the style of Sarah Silverman".

Again I'm no lawyer, and maybe their case really isn't strong enough, but the above distinction seems like a reasonable starting point to me.

Must admit I'm perfectly happy with the free tier of feedly.

Well, sure, that's a cynical but also accurate description of the difference. The other, on a plaintiff level, is that they might be happy to turn a blind eye to student activity in the interests of 'helping' society in that way – whereas a for-profit company can and should be paying for anything they're directly profiting from.

Obviously, under law, a student should also have to pay. I'm merely saying that an IP owner might choose to let it slide. So, y'know, that's a difference too. If a more idealistic one. :)

You don't feel like there's a difference between students and for-profit companies?

Same. Had a P7 Pro for a couple of months and moved to an S23U as soon as it was released. Phenomenal phone.

Yeah, that makes it a pretty unappealing phone imo. Two years of version updates and no option of moving to a rom afterwards... That's a big ol' nope.
