That would be the logical thing according to common sense and probably according to pichai a few weeks ago, but trump just nominated an anti big tech and musk friend to the FCC. musk is behind almost everybody in ai and autonomous cars so he’ll definitely push to hamper all competitors.

Sure, we don’t know how far would they go or how long will musk keep having white house influence and I personally think breaking up google is now off the table, but I don’t think they will get off the hook too easily.

So surely a very big bribe.

They have their own reader app focused on their voice technology. Probably the plan is expand it to a read-it-later app similar to what omnivore is, and charge a subscription for ir. Similar to readwise but more focused on voice, I would think that’s the plan.

Remember that so far nobody is making money with “AI” other than NVIDIA so they are starting to do these far out or whacky pivots to seek monetization.

Everything that exists as it is now will remain open source. More than bought the developers seem to have been hired by eleven labs and most likely have been working there for a while, so they are actually taking their know how and experience there more than taking the code itself.

That’s how it looks like to me.

Another possibility is that the eleven labs reading app has portions licensed as agpl, the ones taken from omnivore.

Been using it for years. Wasn’t perfect and still isn’t, but it certainly has improved lots.

Main issue at the beginning for me was some sync issues caused by the local apps. Those have been solved.

As for the speed I really couldn’t tell you, it seems fine to me, but I

1. Don’t really have a super fast connection and

2. Don’t upload or download lots so I rarely need the top speed.

Just to say a number uploads for me are around 6MB/s and download around 10MB/s which is my top speed, but I live pretty far from Germany where their infra is located.

For the price I think the service is great, and regardless of price the web client and Linux sync client are some of my favorites. Android app is serviceable but definitely needs work. I don’t know if they are still just the two or three guys that they were some time back or if they have expanded since, but development is slow, take that into account, so improvements arrive but take time.

I think my final judgment would be to tell you that since about 2 years ago it’s my main cloud. Probably proton would be the only that would replace it, but obviously is more expensive and not really too interested in Linux users, so I don’t see that happening soon.

I would recommend you to test drive with a free account, it has the exact same features as paid just with a small amount of storage space.

I don’t know the precise answer, but I do know this:

1. Often the kind of measures that are about something vast and complex (like population for example) are really good approximations, not completely exact numbers. So maybe doesn’t matter because the number itself is not trying to be 100% accurate.
2. As far as I know those measures are made from the top down view, like with airplanes or satellites, so no it would not include inclines. To include inclines in a precise way it would have to be measured each one on the spot, which is not the way that is done. There are almost no field surveyors these days, again, as far as I know. And to include inclines in an approximate way takes us to point 1 again so it wouldn’t matter much if there were a small difference.
3. Why would we do that? Almost everything we use land for requires it to be horizontally flat, so we flatten it. For example, an irregular coastline doesn’t matter because we can use the crevices and irregularities to fit in more boats or ports or beaches, since the sea is horizontally flat and that is what really matter to us. But if there’s a hill with a greater area because of the steepness of it we cannot fit more houses or warehouses of streets. We have to flatten it first so we gain noting from it being inclined.

So form my point of view it would be almost as if we tried to include the sides of a ravine or gorge in the measure just because technically it is area space.

Sorry if I cannot give you an exact answer, but I wanted to comment because you raised an interesting point that made me think.

Cheers.

it would have been so much cheaper to just start the xchan imageboard from scratch instead taking 4 years turning twitter into it

I feel like you should just download the apps and test them yourself instead of only going by ratings. These are free apps, and it takes a few minutes to see if something has the feature or feel you want. Once you uninstall a launcher, android goes back to the previous with all its configurations as it was, so you don’t need to risk your previous setup. Just a suggestion of what I do, because I find that for something as particular as a phone launcher, ratings are often incomplete information.

I support this just because it’s something so niche that I believe you balloon people deserve it. I feel like we all with our own requests for media players and readers and launchers and messengers have at least a couple usable options and tons of options that may require getting used to or some compromise, but are there. But an app for balloon pilots? There’s something that probably is in dire need of something else.
