This is entirely different. Copilot and Chatgpt doesn't exactly reproduce the code. It's paraphrasing it. By your logic you're not allowed to implement anything as the majority of algrithms originate from scientific research and papers that also have copy-rights on them.

I think Funkwhale is dead isn't it?

doodledup ,

Well, this post got deleted too. But the website is back up it seems.

doodledup ,

Omg this can't be any more unrelated. Hyperbole much?

doodledup OP ,

I simply took the title of the video. :shrug:

doodledup OP ,

How would that prevent you from forking the app? F-droid isn't a repository for the code of the app. I don't think this is related at all.

I don't actually know the reason why it's not on F-droid but I assume it has some historical reason. It has never been on F-drroid since Text-secure. Moxy Marlinspike was strictly against it afaik. If somebody has more detail on it, feel free to share it.

doodledup OP ,

It is fully open-source. The distribution of the application is completely unrelated. You can still read the code and verify the build you're running.

doodledup OP , (edited )

It was postponed yesterday. My post is from earlier before it was announced that it was postponed. And the article I posted was from that day I posted it.

What you're probably referring to was the earlier attempt to get this through. This was years ago actually. They refined the bill and tried again this year. This is what this is.

doodledup ,

Yes.

doodledup ,

The point is that they can use that data for further training. They want to build a monopoly like Google is for search.

doodledup ,
  1. They don't care because you aren't watching ads anyways.
  2. Where are you going to watch videos now?
doodledup ,

people can get the privacy benefits of going through those proxies.

Exactly. This is why it will still be a threat to data hungry Google.

doodledup ,

It's hard to run AI on phones and low-end hardware though. It's not that easy.

doodledup ,

The people that hate YT ads hate Google already anyways.

doodledup ,

It doesn't recognize the sponsor sections. The community does that. I don't believe there is any tool right now that can automatically detect the sponsor sections.

doodledup ,

Is their economy actually failing? Last I heard, it's doing better than anticipated with the sanctions.

doodledup ,

Russia would just go ahead and ban Firefox while saying things like "Firefox is US spyware".

doodledup ,

He has a point though. Just think of Reddit and Lemmy where people mindlessly hive-mind vote some posts. When you see something massively upvoted, you tend to upvote (immediately). Same goes for downvotes. In contrary, if the votes do no show, you only vote when you actually mean it.

doodledup ,

Fdroid isn't actually good. It sucks. What's good is the apps you get.

doodledup ,

I can't think of any right-minded person who thinks their UI is snappy and modern. And then the terrible app exploration features. No reviews. Half the apps don't even have pictures. No videos. Lackluster app descriptions.

Tell me you haven't used GPlay store and Apple AppStore in a long time without telling me.

doodledup ,

Reviews are no privacy concern. You write this here and you're not concerned for your privacy either.

Their UI is utter trash.

You clearly haven't used other app stores recently. Else you knew what the level of expectation is these days.

doodledup ,

Thinks that are wrong and bad UI design in my opinion:

  • the green and blue don't work at all together. Generally the coloring is quiet extravagant everywhere, especially with the message "this app has been built for an older version [...]"
  • the spacings and margins aren't coherent everywhere. Like in the app description where the margin to the bottom is okey but to the sides it's much smaller and almost non-existent.
  • the grid cells don't really stand out enough. White on White with such little shadown and spacing inbetween doesn't work.
  • the animations are janky and unpolished.
  • no support for Material UI 3
  • buttons have too little padding inside around the icon. Buttons are generally a little too small
doodledup ,

Their data centers are 100% powered by renewable energy. Google is 100% carbon free. It's not as bad as you think it is.

doodledup ,

Sorry I was a little wrong. Apparently 100% of Googles annual electricity consumption is matched with renewable energy that is supplied back to the grid. So basically, at night when there is no sun they use power from the grid and during the day they compensate it with excess renewable energy production.

It's not 100% carbon neutral. But it doesn't sound that bad either. There is worse things than that.

doodledup ,

Purchasing and producing renewable energy is the same thing. If you purchase it, somebody else is producing it for you.

doodledup ,

I don't understand how this Glaze thing is supposed to stop AI being trained on the art.

doodledup ,

Great, so I'm seing this right that everyone is voting Yes?

doodledup ,

Why is this not headline number 1 in every newspaper? It can't get any more dystopian than that. Why does nobody care, god damnit...

doodledup ,

They are doing this because they care about you. And totally not because hoarding the data wasn't profitable enough anymore. It's only logical when you think about the fact that they were, up until now, going out of their way to save every GPS coordinate you ever visited with your phone in your pocket. It's all for you and because they care about you very much.

A social app for creatives, Cara grew from 40k to 650k users in a week because artists are fed up with Meta’s AI policies | TechCrunch (techcrunch.com)

Artists have finally had enough with Meta’s predatory AI policies, but Meta’s loss is Cara’s gain. An artist-run, anti-AI social platform, Cara has grown from 40,000 to 650,000 users within the last week, catapulting it to the top of the App Store charts....

doodledup ,

As a European user, do I actively have to opt out or is it opt-out by default?

doodledup ,

I have an easy solution for that: I think I'll just delete my account. I'm not using it anyways.

That's what they all say.

After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year (www.billboard.com)

When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...

doodledup ,

Although it's far from the best, Deezer has a much fairer royalties compensation method, which is more closely based on a per-user basis, rather than total amount of minutes listened (that Spotify currently employs).

This isn't super related to OPs post but I thought it might be worth mentioning aswell.

I've been using Deezer for a while now. Not only is the streaming quality (FLAC) much better but also the artist compensation much fairer. Plus, they at least act as if they actually cared for the customer...

doodledup ,

It will not make a difference. The internet is free and open by design. You can always scrape the internet any time. A partnership will do nothing but make it a little bit more convenient for them.

A lot of Redditors hate the Reddit IPO | Reddit warned us that its users were a risk factor, and boy do they sound excited about shorting its stock. (www.theverge.com)

A lot of Redditors hate the Reddit IPO | Reddit warned us that its users were a risk factor, and boy do they sound excited about shorting its stock.::Reddit seems like a likely candidate for a meme stock. But the actual reaction suggests that r/WallStreetBets isn’t going to send the stock to the moon.
