  • Liberapay, Kofi

  • Do you have any recommendations for podcasts, that are as well produced and "deep" as video essays?

  • Yes, I am in Nebula. It's actually really good. I am only paying 30 euros per year (because oft the creator discount) and it's a good way to support creators.

  • Are you joking, or are you actually serious?

  • Yeah, I also found it quite hard to decipher and I am not really sure, I fully understand it either. But basically my read was that it was a critique of societal expectations about dating and dating culture.

    In the movie, everyone was forced really hard into the whole relationship / marriage thing, even if it just wasn't meant to be. And then they get into marriages, that may look perfect and happy from the outside but actually make the people involved miserable (look at the guy, who was limping, he pretended to fit with his wife, had a perfect and beautiful family from the outside, but everything was based on a lie).

    It could also maybe be analogous to dating apps, where you get into relationships with people based on pictures and shallow personality traits.

    The whole thing about the "resistance-movement" to the culture was maybe about how even they struggled to really imagine a world without the insane and restrictive sociatal standards. Instead of creating a community without any restrictive social standards, they just forced everyone to act according to the opposite standard (of everyone being single).

    Neither ideal was really sustainable or healthy and even though a lot of people felt the problem with this system, no one knew how to challenge it.

    That was my read anyway.

  • I think this model, however it may work will still be better than what we have currently though. If we can even attempt to charge AI-companies for the training data, that would be a huge step. Because the current model is just they take everything, that they can get their hands on.

    And if that makes AI-devellopment ecomically unviable, that's a really good thing

  • I find it incredible, how uncharitable some of these comments here are. As an open source contributor myself, I also really don't like the fact, that my work just gets stolen and profited of by big companies without my permission.

    Even the nicest, most idealist engineer still needs to be able to live from his work. I am not saying he is, but he is completely within his right to protect his work from abuse.

    Free software shouldn't mean, that every company can use our code in any way, they like and open source licenses still have terms, for example copyleft licenses, like GPLv3, still require work, which is based on that code to be licensed with the same terms and appropriately credited. AI companies are clearly not abiding by these terms and aren't really prosecuted for that.

    We should be angry at the companies misusing our work instead of open source devs who have had enough.

  • I think this guy just wants to be payed for all of his work. If big companies start to skip the part of even crediting him for the that they stole without his permission, I can understand his decision to deny them that ability.

  • No, it's absolutely not??? Mastodon is the most active community in the Fediverse with the most accounts and is most well known in the gerall public.

    Are you delusional?

  • That's not true at all. There are still a lot of great indie games if you look behind the curtain a little bit.

    Don't be so pessimistic, because that will truly ruin gaming. Just support indie devs, that are still committed to making great games in a human way. And believe me, there are still a lot of them out there.
