I think its just to mitigate spam apps. The window's app store is kinda garbage. Apple doesn't want to spend their QA resources on apps that only 10 people can use.
>I don't think sexual needs are needs that can't be managed without media.
Of course they can, but it still helps - that's why I used that wording.
Also replacement of one sex need with another feels more viable than with other needs, given how the chemical machinery of the body seems to work.
> I find when a partner characterizes porn, the sex is worse... Maybe other people enjoy the sounds or behaviors seen in the videos, but not for me.
I can't say that the content isn't majorly bad, or that the field is not rife with abuse. That's a real problem, but I think u related to the original question of "does it address a real need".
In this case I think the main takeaways are the ideas, techniques, and what you can learn about body from some of the more realistic videos. Somewhat unfortunately, many people pick wrongly, but I do believe right choices exist.
The media projects that gay conversion initiatives fail at steering the ship the other direction. Governments (and society) expect personal repression and do not allow for outlets or replacements.
(for the record, these ideas I'm writing about are not my own, but my observations as a member of the society. I wish these topics were less taboo, but it is what it is.)
This is the same thinking that governments are justify the age verification and ID tracking: the system makes an opportunity for old people to get scammed, so everyone needs to give up their privacy.
Feels good to read the "ex-"-part in your sentence. It'd be analog to my supervisor sitting right behind me and keeping a super dense protocol - no fucking way, ever.
Not really true. Remember the prompt engineering craze a few years ago with crazy complex prompt composers (langchain) that don’t need to exist any more because the underlying model got so much better at understanding what the humans are actually asking for?
A model cannot read your mind. It can guess, and those guesses are more likely to be wrong if you don't give it the right input, and model performance gets worse if not steered/curated properly. The output depends on the input.
(I don't think anecdotes are useful in these comparisons, but I'll throw mine in anyway: I use GPT-5.4, GPT-5.3-Codex, Gemini-3-Pro, Opus, Sonnet, at work every week. I then switch to GLM-5.1, K2-Thinking. Other than how chatty they get, and how they handle planning, I get the same results. Sometimes they're great, sometimes I spent an hour trying to coax them towards the solution I want. The more time I spend describing the problem and solution and feeding them data, the better the results, regardless of model. The biggest problem I run into lately is every website in the world is blocking WebFetch so I have to manually download docs, which sucks. And for 90% of my coding and system work, I see no difference between M2.5 and SOTA models, because there's only so much better you can get at writing a simple script or function or navigating a shell. This is why Anthropic themselves have always told people to use Sonnet to orchestrate complex work, and Haiku for subagents. But of course they want you to pay for Opus, because they want your money.)
"artistically interesting" is IMHO both a subjective and 'solved' problem. These models are trained with an "artistically interesting" reward model that tries to guide the model towards higher quality photos.
I think getting the models to generate realistic and proportional objects is a much harder and important challenge (remember when the models would generate 6 fingers?).
If I understand you correctly, you SSH in via cloudflared and then use that tunnel to reach other services through that session. That would work, yes.
Tela takes a little different approach. The agent exposes services directly through the WireGuard tunnel without SSH as an intermediary, so you don't need sshd running on the target. Each machine gets its own loopback address on the client, so there is no port remapping.
The big difference is the relay, though. With cloudflared, Cloudflare terminates TLS at their edge. With Tela, you run the hub yourself and encryption is end-to-end. The hub only ever sees encrypted data (apart from a small header).
