I’m just a passive observer and it’s fine. You can assume it’s a bot but that’s not on them. They seem legitimate and my assumption is maybe English isn’t their first language.

I only care about copyright while it exists. If copyright is abolished and there’s no such thing as intellectual property then I’m happy with that as well.

No one should have the right of using police with guns to maintain the ownership of ideas and our culture. I don’t want this power. I don’t want you to have this power over my neighbors. I don’t want the Disney corporation having this power over my friends and family. But if capitalists wield that power against the common man, then I’m not against the common man wielding it against the capitalist.

I’m okay with using copyright against only those that have more power than me. I don’t ever want to threaten a normal human being with it, only capitalists.

I’m not against all cases of generative ai, code or visual. I’ve had legit use cases for them, and in a post scarce world we wouldn’t care about these things being made in a completely floss way. If copyright were to last only 15 years after publication then I think the world would be much better and we wouldn’t be having this conversation. But I won’t argue ai stuff as it currently stands—it is a grift or a stockpiling.

I’m a software engineer and I have been playing guitar nearly every day since I was 8 years old. I release everything GPL/AGPL or CC-BY-SA that I own and can. Heck, I am racking every day trying to figure out ideas that can hopefully make me a living while also giving everything I have away. I don’t want to own my shit man, I just want to share what I have and hope it’s useful, and I don’t want people being assholes so I opt for the copyleft instead of liberal licenses.

Ah, just acquire such hardware, very simple and anyone can do it without supply chain knowledge or advantage

You can’t just host the 632B model that the app uses lol

You are fighting a losing battle. I understand why you think that, but the organization that owns the trademarks of open source do not agree with you (or me). I also disagree with that organization’s definition of open source AI, but they own the legal right to define the meaning of “open source” in the technology trade, the trade in which they own the trade mark. But laws are laws and you either abide by them (as a corp, what are you gonna do?) or don’t (fuck yeah, commit crimes).

Weights are the only thing you’ll get from “open source” ai. You need to look for stricter legal definitions to meet your understandable criteria.

I started using Twitter in 2009. It was just techy people back then. Things are allowed to take time and grow organically.

IRC and email isn’t dead and they are completely anonymous. Web ain’t gonna die. TCP and UDP ain’t ever gonna die. HTTP ain’t ever gonna die. HTML ain’t ever gonna die. JSON isn’t even part of the web but it de facto is now. At this rate JS ain’t ever gonna die unfortunately. The web is safe. The internet is safe. Everything is open and it can’t be taken away or killed.

Think of it like climate change. The internet is going to be just fine. Its whoever is trying to benefit from digital IDs that will go extinct on it, and the internet will have healed itself from them.

Always up, never down, and only sideways on exceptions

Now will people leave Twitch? What about companies that contract with AWS?

Pixelfed allows video?

Open source is anarchist socialism. This whole platform works because socialism works. The internet is made up of protocols that people aren’t required to implement but do because they’re good ideas that are well thought out and work and were created without force or threat of violence like threatening the right to sue for damages even. Bad ideas get worked on and fixed. Look at Wayland in Linux, a complete volunteer driven effort that got funding because it was a good idea. No one forced all Linux desktop environments to switch from x11 because a new law got signed, but instead volunteers were like “thank you for fixing x11 in your free time.”

But nope, property doesn’t exist, guess it’s broke!

Daring fireball is a very popular blog. The guy invented markdown. He’s a very known Apple apologist. It’s not wrong for someone who knows Daring Fireball to assume anything he says positively about Apple or in defense of Apple has potential for his fanboy bias.

A reminder that cops can’t be sued for the same negligence. Also a reminder: punch up, not down

You can say fuck you to America without supporting other capitalist or otherwise authoritarian nations, and instead support anti capitalism by using decentralized networks. I won’t slurp on Winnie’s hunny pot to say fuck you to Uncle Sam, but you do you lemmy.ml

Real anti capitalists learn Esperanto

oh bless your heart 😌

Apologies for the southern passive aggressiveness, but I believe you may not notice how much content is an ad

I know that advertisers love that TikTok knows when a user desires your product. I wonder why they can target you so well? All state sponsored social media, X and Meta and company as well as TikTok, should be avoided if you don’t want corporations and capitalists and authoritarians having that much information about you. If you hate corporations trying to sell you things, maybe don’t use a dopamine and social habit tracking app that’s designed to sell ads to play on your fears

Id question the intelligence of anyone who used any app specifically because of a country associated with it when it’s not an app about countries. Going to Chinese apps just because TikTok gets banned is kinda silly imo, but then again I don’t use state-sponsored social media like TikTok or instagram etc
