This is great news, but it is always worth remembering the ebb and flow of these things. It happens because an individual cared. Eventually, that individual won't be in the decision-making process, and the office will likely come back. At least it usually goes thst way.

‘IRL Fakes:’ Where People Pay for AI-Generated Porn of Normal People (www.404media.co)

A Telegram user who advertises their services on Twitter will create an AI-generated pornographic image of anyone in the world for as little as $10 if users send them pictures of that person. Like many other Telegram communities and users producing nonconsensual AI-generated sexual images, this user creates fake nude images of...

echo64 ,

The people being exploited are the ones who are the victims of this, not people who paid for it.

echo64 ,

Every time this comes up, all the tech nerds here like to excuse it as fine and not a bad thing at all. I am hoping this won't happen this time, but knowing lemmys audience...

echo64 ,

Yeah it's this shit I'm talking about. We have a whole legal and justice system to deal with this. No kne needs to accept sexual abuse as a new normal. This shit is weird.

https://kbin.social/m/technology@lemmy.world/t/927248/-/comment/5921190 just accept it as a new normal, it's fine. Can't possible have any recourse, just accept it women of the world, it's the new normal!

echo64 ,

I hate this: "Just accept it women of the world, accept the abuse because it's the new normal" techbro logic so much. It's absolutely hateful towards women.

We have legal and justice systems to deal with this. It is not the new normal for me to be able to make porn of your sister, or mother, or daughter. Absolutely fucking abhorrent.

echo64 ,

It is massively upvoted (for lemmy).

echo64 ,

We can't stop biketheft so fuck off women, your free game coz this guy said so.

echo64 ,

Sorry if I didn't position this about men. They are the most important thing to discuss and will be the most impacted here, obviously. We must center men on this subject too.

echo64 ,

Yes yes, amiirte? We just ignore that 99.999% of the victims will be women, just so we can grandstand about men.

echo64 ,

You might want to look up what strawmanning means. I'm just flat out mocking what you said.

echo64 ,

I don't care if it's not new, no one cares about how new it is.

echo64 ,

I know we all like to hate on canonical for literally any reason, but this happens with every single software repository that is not a closed garden and some that are.

And yeah, it's sandboxed, so the damage is far, far less than it could be.

echo64 ,

If you read an article, then copy parts of that article into a new article, that's copyright infringement. Same with ais.

echo64 ,

Fair use depends on a lot, and just being a small amount doesn't factor in. It's the actual use. Small amounts just often fly under the nose of legal teams.

echo64 ,

It is quite literally how it works.

In addition, Starlink is not a good solution. It requires an infinite amount of rockets sent into low earth orbit forever, at a heavy subsidised cost paid for by American taxpayers.

You should be pushing for long-term solutions, not ones that literally fall out of the sky six months after the subsidies stop.

echo64 ,

They got subsidies and were recently denied some. Don't pretend they never got any thank you.

echo64 ,

The alternative is not "higher orbit satellites", it's "put wires on the earth".

Firing infinite rockets that fall out of the sky in a year is a bad, wasteful option that only exists because the American government is not under enough pressure to fix its infrastructure problems.

the rest of the world, even the big countries with lots of remote citizens, they used wires not infinite rockets.

echo64 ,

You might have a point if launching rockets was cheaper, but launching infinite rockets forever is not cheaper. The rockets fall out of the sky. So we're talking about one upfront cost or a cost forever.

echo64 ,

Shockingly, you don't need to dig. And handwaving away the cost, including the environmental cost of infinite rocket launches forever because "oh magical technology will save us some day" does not help your case.

echo64 ,

To use this feature, developers will have to opt into the new App Store business terms, which means they will pay the Core Technology Fee of €0.50 for each first annual install over one million in the past 12 months.

echo64 ,

What's your logic here for this not being terrible?

echo64 ,

There are so, so many shitty things about Apple’s implementation here, but this isn’t one. I believe the EU should blast Apple as hard as legally possible for the rest of their implementation which is intentionally terrible.)

echo64 ,

It doesn't reduce their tax burden, as they are receiving extra income from your dollar. There's no tax loophole here.

The benefits to the company come from "look at all the charitable work we did last year", and sometimes croniesim as op pointed out.

  • it's not owned and controlled by Americans. This makes American billionaires unhappy, and the liked of Zuckerberg would be very happy for the removal of comepetiton.
  • America has a sinophobia problem, I know a lot of Americans here don't see it, and get mad if you bring it up, but from the outside looking in, it's very obvious.
  • Policy makers in America seem scared of young people being politically motivated, and a lot of that is happening via tiktok. It stopped the red wave, it's now impacting democratic polling, they're losing control.
echo64 ,

And thr sinophobia is sadly just as strong there, maybe worse. Stop Asian hate is a campaign for a reason.

echo64 ,

This has big "oh no no, there's no racism in my community, I would know" vibes.

echo64 ,

  1. China isn't an adversary. It's a competitor to America. You aren't at war with China, and both China and America heavily depend on each other and are strong trading partners. This is your propaganda talking.

  2. Lol no, Facebook and Google collect orders of magnitude more data about you, your life, your job, your friends and colleagues, your medical status, everything.

echo64 ,

A native ui wouldn't have much or any impact on time to show your dashboard. But it would add an astronomical overhead to the development costs

echo64 ,

The native apps are functionally webapps, they are not "native". You should be able to tell that if you "work in mobile".

echo64 ,

You have the freedom, if you have money. Otherwise you don't. You just have the freedom to be homeless and starve

echo64 ,

Sooo... how does that relate to your point? That you can supposedly do what op is saying in America because freedom?

echo64 ,

Jellyfin is 90% plex, and it's impressive how it comes forward in leaps and bounds, but it's not better than plex. People just appreciate it more.

If you only need that 90% that it does (and don't need things like intro detection, conversions, mobile sync, ass/sas subtitles), then you'll come away super happy with not having to pay plex and not being locked into plex.

It doesn't really do much over that 90%, it's just neat that the 90% isn't plex

echo64 ,

Okay, so no, it's not hacking. It doesn't fall under hacking laws. It's not illegal to sell hacking tools. Basically, everything you said is wrong.

In this case, it's all about copyright and the DMCA, which made it illegal to break the copyright protection systems companies put in place or to make or distribute tools to break copyright protection systems.

So, nothing to do will selling things or hacking. Everything to do with copyright and draconian dot come era laws.

echo64 ,

Game preservation is explicitly exclusided from the dmca true, but only only when the game needs online servers which have now been shut down.

So it would not work in this case at all.

echo64 ,

If you circumvent the copyright protection systems to do so, then under American law yes. If you don't like this, you have to campaign for change.

echo64 ,

It doesn't need to set any kind of precedent. That was set decades ago in this case.

echo64 ,

Every few years, more things are added as exceptions to the DMCAs circumvention clause. There's a whole host of exceptions, and they are all exceptions in favor of people over companies. Those exceptions came about because people who care fought for them.

echo64 ,

I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about Universal City Studios, Inc. v. Reimerdes/Universal City Studios, Inc. v. Corley and others.

echo64 ,

It's not hacking. Sorry.

echo64 ,

They put features into yuzu to specifically decrypt games (if you provide a key), it's the same thing.

echo64 ,

How is it far fetched when there's a literal bunch of examples you can go find right now? You're basing your estimation on zero evidence and doomerism.

Try, apply yourself. Don't just assume.

echo64 ,

People will fire lasers into their eyes just so they don't have to wear super light glasses. Vr/ar tech are not going mainstream. Only tech bros think that.

echo64 ,

They are saying that it wasn't a ddos at all but organic use. The user was notified but did nothing. So they think their notifying stuff isn't good enough.

echo64 ,

They mean a lot of downloads were happening for a period of time.

echo64 ,

Again, if usbc4 wasn't optional then people would just not make anything to support it.

There's no incompetence, they are doing this for a reason. You just don't like it.

echo64 ,

No. I understand your point entirely. You don't seem to acknowledge or understand mine. What do you think I'm saying?

echo64 ,

You may want to look up the phrase

To cut off one's nose to spite your face

Maybe think about how it relates to your massive over reaction here.
