It’s litigation around what a machine can freely use in its learning model.

No, its not that, either. It’s litigation around what resources a person can exploit to develop a product without paying for that right.

The machine is doing nothing wrong. It’s not feeding itself.

Here’s a google prompt for you: “raspberry pi police”

Are they still playing apologetics for the cops? Because if so, no thanks.

Here’s the thing, though: Whenever you have a position like “Person for Group”, that Group is being singled out for a reason.

And that reason is lack of representation.

To put it another way, so have a Minister for Women is a tacit acknowledgement that the others operate as if men are the default person. All of the other ministers are Ministers for Men.

propaganda

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

Once you have enough money to meet your needs, all money is is power.

But how far away is the chemist’s?

It does, but it’s still attached to all of the bullshit in Jira. It’s one more thing to look at there, not the thing that’s used to manage.

I don’t think these people are fearing meth.

Depends on how one defines “win”.

We coulda gotten more people here. Reddit’s kind of the perfect centralized service to decentralize. Major subreddits have millions of subscribers and mods with years of experience managing large communities. Many of them could have set up their own Lemmy servers and just said “we’re over here now”. You get a few large, but still not exactly mainstream r/all kind of subreddits doing that, and things could’ve been significantly different.

At the same time, there are several ordres of magnitude more people here now than there was before, and the space isn’t showing any signs of dying. That’s kind of a big L for Reddit, as they’re going to continue enshitifying themselves in the months and years ahead, and there’s a legit, if somewhat underground, alternative space for people to go when they’re finally fed up. Now with an insane amount of mobile app support, to boot.

I’ve been waiting for a flexible, two page, tabloid sized e-newspaper for, like, 20 years now.

This continues to seem like an absolute win for anyone using Facebook in Canada. The key here is that they’re not blocking links to Canadian news sites, but to all new sites for users in the country.

That’s going to fundamentally change the kind of content users see in their streams.

That is, of course, if Meta actually upholds the blackout of all news sites. Waiting to see what kind of fashy bullshit is actually allowed in still.

Have you considered just forcing everyone to access your sites via Internet Explorer 5.5?

Seems like a good place to remind people that the police do not prevent break-ins, robberies, or muggings. They just show up after-the-fact and do little to nothing to get people’s stuff back.

the idea that my account is hosted at an individual Lemmy server and that other servers trust that one to validate my account

I can’t stress highly enough how much this isn’t how it works.

You basically never directly interact with other servers. Instead, when someone on your host site first subscribes to a community hosted on a other site, your instance pulls in some recent posts from that remote site and then requests that all future content from that group be forwarded along to it. Then, people on your local site interact with that mirrored content, and your local site sends local additions back to the original host for syncing.

Your account only exists locally. You’re always reading locally, and you’re always acting locally. Everything else is servers mirroring and forwarding content.
