I don’t know if people still use live wallpapers, but I like the way mine turned out.

Oh interesting. I haven’t used Jerboa for some time, so I’m not really sure what is causing the issue…

Thanks! I think I probably spent 15 hours on it between the wallpaper and icons. I’m definitely proud of how it turned out.

Are you sure about the spoiler formatting? My app doesn’t honor spoiler formatting, so I double-checked it in a web browser and it seemed functional.

This isn’t KLWP, it’s a Samsung app called “Wonderland.” All things considered, the interface for Wonderland isn’t great, so if you have KLWP already installed, I might try messing around with it more before installing Wonderland…

Honestly, I’m not sure how I feel about this leak (assuming it’s remotely accurate).

I suppose you could make a horror/thriller-esque story about Plas if you leaned into the body horror aspect of it; but he seems like a much better fit for a comedy instead.

The two most recent runs in 20 years (Gail Simone and Kyle Baker) definitely have Plas established as a pretty unserious guy. There’s definitely a tinge of tragedy in his origin of being betrayed by his fellow goons, but he definitely bounces back.

Even runs where he isn’t the primary focus (the Injustice tie-ins or the Terrifics) have him as a pretty comedic character.

Having said all that, I am not terribly familiar with Aronofsky’s work; so I could definitely be missing something that makes him a good fit…

That stuck out to me as well. Disney probably made 50k USD in the time it took me to write this comment. This feels more like sending a message than trying to avoid a costly payout.

I’m sure they want to discourage lawsuits, but I’m worried they did this just to try to set a precedent on EULAs being the end-all-be-all.

I just hope they get enough bad publicity from this move to cost them more than the payout would have.

The fact that Disney is asserting that whether a EULA has been read is irrelevant and that a EULA signed five years prior for an unrelated use is still enforceable feels more than insidious.

I hope Disney’s claim gets thrown out because I worry about the precedent this could set for EULAs going forward.

I’ve been holding onto my phone well past its prime since I can’t help but see every new phone on the market as a downgrade because of this.

I know people say that you don’t NEED an SD card if you buy the most expensive version and rely heavily on cloud services but it’s definitely an intentionally worse customer experience.

I’m actually really sad Sony pulled out of the US, since I was planning on getting an Xperia this year. Now it feels like I’m limited to Samsung or Google if I want a flagship SoC…

I’m definitely a little late to the party to comment on this thread, but it blows my mind that any organization would pick a flight with SAG-AFTRA at this point (or the WGA, though that’s not relevant to THIS issue).

SAG has already proven they will hold out pretty much indefinitely and the effects of the joint SAG/WGA strike are still being felt in Hollywood now.

Is the siren song of AI so alluring that companies are willing to die on this hill? At its peak hype, I could see executives salivating at the potential savings; but my understanding is there has been pretty substantial pushback to projects made with AI (or tech with AI in it). I can’t imagine that these large studios think their potential savings would outweigh the potential losses in sales; but I guess that’s why I’ll never be a Fortune 500 CEO…

I wish SAG-AFTRA nothing but the best in their endeavor for protections against AI.

It’s very hard to know that cause of this effect; but between the three women in the article, it seems demonstrably true that the apps treat you differently based off your input race.

While it is not proven to be a result of the algorithm (how would you prove that?), so many tech companies have a bad track record of avoiding algorithmically enforcing white supremacy that I would not be surprised to find out it is at least partially because of the code.

I hope some of these companies audit their own data-analysis methods for racial bias, but I wouldn’t hold my breath for it…
