Do you think the number of people spoofing user agents are going to even dent those numbers?

Dude, I clicked on the link pretty excited to volunteer. I have a professional mic, a little time, and a decent voice. The first thing that greets me is “Voice datasets also underrepresent: non-English speakers, people of colour, disabled people, women and LGBTQIA+ people.”
Well, I’m none of those. So maybe they don’t want my donation, or I’d spend time and they wouldn’t use my recordings... Sort of a letdown.
Philosophical mustings?
Exactly. Some of the replies in this thread are so disingenuous.
Agreed. Physical ownership is the shelf of old DVD and CDROM PC and XBOX classic game boxes in my basement that take up space, collect dust, will never work again, and will only be a remembrance of nostalgia for a bygone day. Plus I’ll probably never seriously want to play them again… let’s be honest. I can watch a video of someone else playing, it scratches the same itch, and saves me the trouble.
I like digital ownership, but there needs to be protections so we can’t be screwed.
At least once a day I’m behind a human driver that does the phantom brake thing.
I used to accidentally find nudie mags in the woods with my friends. Why didn’t these guys do anything for me and my forest safety?
Sounds like lying humans that I know.
I must have read something because I replied to it. What made you think I had some fortune tellers knowledge of OPs expertise.
Don’t radarr and sonarr download better versions automatically? Seems these measures were drastic.
Sounds like you’re left with almost no modern conveniences or technology. I don’t mean this disparagingly, but I am curious how you live your life and ensure you are truly not using any of these companies or their subsidiaries, or even those shitlist companies if they are a white box supplier of someone else not on your list. Or even if a mom and pop shop down the street is using technologies, software, or appliances from one of these companies to run their local business…
Doesn’t seem possible in reality. Or at the very least seems like a full time job that would get really futile after a while.
Pretty sure those Edge numbers are from using it under duress…
