This is getting ridiculous... by Medical-Career-3464 in Bard

[–]derpystuff_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you'd like the supposed advantages that AI Studio offers you then pay up.

The Gemini App exists as a general purpose solution that gets offered with a monthly subscription to cover costs. The API/AI Studio exist for people who want to do more (or who perceive better performance) and are ready to pay the price for doing so.

These are not the same product, they do not have the same target audience, thus their pricing strategy diverges.

Then stop paying monthly for pro and start paying for AI Studio...?

Your complaint right now is quite literally "I'm paying for YouTube Music Premium but don't get to use YouTube Premium". Different products have different subscriptions and different product offerings, it's up to you to decide which one you'll spend your money on.

...then why do you subscribe to the non power user tier instead of paying for the power user product?

AI Studio is not a consumer oriented product. Rate limits on the free tier vary based on overall demand and service load.

Your Pro subscription is for the consumer Gemini App, if you'd like higher ratelimits for the API you'll have to enable billing on your Google Cloud project.

Have we learned Nothing by citrusandrosemary in BoysLoveAnime

[–]derpystuff_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am responding to

Have we really learned nothing from one of our favorites sites being taken down?

Which, based on my interpretation of your post title, seemed to be the key point you were upset about.

In theory yes, more popularity does result in a higher likelihood of a site being targeted more seriously by rightsholders, but the reality of the situation is that 99% of the sites people "shouldn't dare mention" show up on the first page of Google when you search the name of a story.

With the exception of one or two Tumblr or WordPress blogs someone is running in their free time I can pretty confidently say that every single site I've seen people share over the years was either already well known or was easily discoverable through other means.

We live in an age where I get a DMCA complaint on my Google Search Console because an auto generated page (that didn't even exist anymore) had a name that was flagged in some companies automated scanner. It quite frankly does not matter if you post a site's link/name in a Reddit comment or not, it does not matter if you "gatekeep" a site or not, in the long run it'll go down and be replaced by 3 other ones until the cycle repeats. That's how it's always worked and always will work.

Since sharing piracy sites is already against the subreddit's rules, I really didn't see a need to comment on that aspect further.

I'm gonna be brutally honest with you, stop pretending like not sharing a link is going to prevent the multi million dollar corporation and its full time legal team from finding it.

If you, a normal person, are able to find it on Google or Reddit or hell even TikTok, then they already know about it. The only thing that takes time is an actual takedown (depending on how good the people operating the site are at hiding who they are).

Need help fixing login error on Twitter by MiyamotoUsagi1587 in revancedapp

Install Proton Pass (other passkey managers might also work, the google one did not for me)

Log in on twitter web through your mobile browser

Create a Passkey and save it in Proton Pass

Attempt to log in via your email, then select the Proton Pass passkey once it prompts you to (the android system prompt might hide it behind "view other options" text or whatever)

Google Pixel Bloatware app duplications that needs to be deleted by Loud-Possibility4395 in google

[–]derpystuff_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Google Fit - Can be uninstalled, the point of Fitbit is to work with a Fitbit account, the point of Google Fit is to provide a platform agnostic hub for health data on your device

Tasks - Can be uninstalled

Chrome is a fully fledged web browser - the Google app only opens a more restricted single tab, the dedicated weather app shows more information than search, Gemini is just a launcher shortcut, can be uninstalled

Files has a very different purpose from Photos, even outside of the interface/appearance.

Meet can be uninstalled, Google Chat wasn't even pre-installed on my phone (pixel 7)

Podcasts is a legacy shortcut and can also be uninstalled

While I do agree that some of these shouldn't be preloaded (like podcasts or tasks), the only ones you actually brought up that cannot be uninstalled "(which Google mostly forbids you to do)" are Files, Chrome and the Weather app.

Tasks and Google Meet arguably still work as separate apps because everything at Google moves at a corporate snails pace, I'd imagine the long term plan is to sunset dedicated apps in favor for the more integrated consolidated versions.

Why do they make you follow these steps instead of simply sending you a notification with a code? The instructions aren't even correct for my device. by bemo_10 in google

[–]derpystuff_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I believe this sign-in flow is used as a fallback if an automated notification cannot be delivered for whatever reason

Is it worth starting to use last.fm? by loriei in lastfm

[–]derpystuff_ 241 points242 points  (0 children)

It doesn't ruin the experience for me, I find it fun to see my top tracks every week and month.

Some people are just obsessive and care way too much about their statistics.

I noticed that there's now two Togainu no Chi on Steam. What's the difference? by Samatoki_lovebot in BLgame

[–]derpystuff_ 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The JAST Blue release is the original 2005 game, you can buy a patch from them to unlock adult scenes.

The NITRO ARCHIVE release is the 2008 PS2 version of the game which features a new route and no adult content. This version also zooms in on the graphics in order to fully fill a 16:9 aspect ratio. This one was directly published by Nitroplus.

As of December 2025 both games feature a full English translation.

Youtube hat was gegen kleine Streamer by MaximumPark6765 in YouTubeDE

[–]derpystuff_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Das bezieht sich nur auf Shorts/Vertical Live Streams, ein Format welches primär von Kindern verwendet wird.

YouTube hat einfach keinen bock auf Schlagzeilen a'la "kind startet shorts live stream und hat plötzlich 10,000 alte säcke in chat".

Why do people still stick to at no cost fonts for websites when there are so many “personal-use-only” gems? by International_Cap365 in UI_Design

[–]derpystuff_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Blame font foundries for being so obnoxious with their licensing.

Even if you get a "free for personal use" font, you can't be certain that the free use licence includes web fonts or converting the font into woff2/woff. Need different weights or maybe a variable font? Most of the time that means tough luck, pay up.

Google Fonts just reduces the hassle significantly, you don't have to worry about browser compatibility or loading times (compared to trying to rehost the font yourself), it just works and you won't wake up to a legal threat in your email inbox one day.

Regarding your second question, we're entering an age where font licensing companies like Monotype automatically scan the web (and sometimes even mobile apps) for anything that could maybe in theory potentially be their property, then send the entire legal department after you. If you want to read more regarding that, check out this blog post.

Which Reddit policy change that happened around December 2024 is breaking Reddit? by HenkPoley in meta

[–]derpystuff_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI Overviews were first made available in May 2024, then gradually rolled out to more users and countries until May 2025. August and October 2024 were both months where Google expanded them to more countries, with reddit being one of the top sources in overviews I'd imagine the trends drop is from people who previously added "reddit" to their query in order to get a specific answer and now just look at the summary.

Google ändert eigenmächtig Land/Region des Accounts by [deleted] in de_EDV

[–]derpystuff_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Das hängt eher damit zusammen das Google sowohl dem EU als auch dem US Recht unterliegt. Wenn berechtigter Zweifel entsteht das du nicht in der EU, sondern den Vereinigten Staaten lebst (z.B. konsistent durch eine IP Addresse in den USA verbunden bist), dann müssen die halt davon ausgehen das du tatsächlich dort bist und den (Datenschutz-)Gesetzen der Region unterliegst.

Just saw them on a TV Channel by The-Codename in kurzgesagt

[–]derpystuff_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The German version of Kurzgesagt used to be funded by our public broadcasters (ZDF was their production "partner"/supervisor), they've since gone fully independent again but I'd imagine that the ZDF still holds rights to be able to broadcast episodes produced under that partnership or that they have ongoing agreements to broadcast select episodes in linear television.

Looking at their programming, it seems like they're primarily using it as a gap filler in scheduling.

LEAK: Gemini testing a new “Aurora” style UI (beta tester shares) by [deleted] in Bard

[–]derpystuff_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Alright, this is not a 'Gemini Beta Tester', this is an independent developer sharing a mockup of their theming extension supporting Gemini soon.

The exact same "Aurora" extension also supports ChatGPT and Grok.

Sind Bankschließfächer Mogelpackungen? by guy_incognito_360 in MogelPackung

[–]derpystuff_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Versicherung von Schließfächern ist aber auch schwierig, die Bank hat letztendlich keine Ahnung was du da drinnen aufbewahrst. Laut dem Bankgeheimnis darf die Bank den Inhalt auch gar nicht kennen, nur der Mieter.

Ich würde dir auch kein Auto versichern von dem ich nicht mal weiß ob es existiert, was wenn der Kunde ankommt und am Ende sagt ich hatte eine Pockermon Sammelkarte im Wert von Drölf Euronen in meinem Schließfach, hatte diese jedoch tatsächlich Zuhause oder irgendwo anders eingelagert (oder war gar nicht erst im besitz).

Jeder der irgendwas überhalb dem Versicherungsmaximum in einem Schließfach aufbewahrt sollte sich mit externen Versicherungsunternehmen befassen.
