Yeah. The descriptions are neat but not disconcerting. The coordinates would be scary but seem to come from the metadata. Annoying viral marketing.

Keul: Es gibt im Laufe des Konflikts immer wieder Unterstützung von externen Akteuren. Das hält diesen Konflikt auch am Leben. Ohne externe Unterstützung wären wir vielleicht schon an einem anderen Punkt. Anzeige

taz: Können Sie Namen nennen?

Keul: Russland und Iran sollen Waffen an die SAF geliefert haben.

Ne, is klar.

Das regt mich auch immer so auf an den rechten Phobikern, die meinen, Russland sei die Alternative zu Deutschland. Bei den großen Fluchtwellen, ob Syrien oder Ukraine, musst du gar nicht genau hinschauen, um die Gemeinsamkeit zu sehen. Russland spielt Weltmacht. Ein Land mit knapp über 140 Millionen Einwohnern und deutlich weniger Wirtschaftsleistung als Italien. Das ist keine Weltmacht, sondern ein Kleinganove, der tut, als sei er der große Mafiaboss. Es ist so lächerlich, wie wir Europäer uns da auf der Nase herumtanzen lassen.

Die sind doch sonst so für mal auf den Tisch hauen. Hier würd’s was bringen. Gerade Syrien ist nicht auf der anderen Seite der Welt, sondern kurz übers Mittelmeer. Eine europäische Monroe-Doktrin wäre das Selbstverständlichste auf der Welt. Braucht keine Flugzeugträger und nix.

Das Social Scoring durch KI ist in der EU verboten. Ich weiß nicht, ob Social Scoring an sich abgelehnt wird. Der Einsatz von KI für Benotung uä ist als Hochrisiko eingestuft. Im Umkehrschluss wird sowas wenigstens akzeptiert, wenn es von Menschen gemacht wird.

(Gerade nochmal im KI-Gesetz nachgesehen und nochmal gemerkt, wie grottenschlecht das gemacht ist…)

If that’s what you want, you should join Facebook.

The fundamental thing to understand is that the internet - and really all information processing - is about copying. There is no such thing as “looking” at a profile or a post. The text and image data is downloaded to your device. You end up with multiple copies on your device.

Sending information out, but blocking people from storing it, is fundamentally a contradiction in terms.

Bsky - like Lemmy - made the choice to make the data widely available. It is available via API and does not need to be scraped. The alternative is to do it like Reddit or even Facebook or Discord. But they can’t stop scraping, either. They can make it slower and more laborious but not stop it. Services like Facebook protect the data as best as they can to “protect your privacy”. In reality, it’s about making it hard for you to leave the platform or anyone else to benefit from your data. Either way, you can trust Zuck to protect your data as if it was his own. Because it is.

Well, this post got downvoted big-time, and the other one upvoted. Doesn’t really fit the energy explanation.

There’s an obvious difference between this post, the OpenAI lawsuit post, and a lot of other popular copyright posts. This one is about how copyright owners are getting richer. The popular posts are about how the owners are being stolen from and exploited by tech companies like OpenAI or Spotify. Aww. Poor souls need more money. Boom times gotta boom.

Major parts are about the streaming industry.

A toy like that is easy to create and not that expensive to offer. Much more expensive than some JavaScript or CSS, but in the end it’s not that different.

I think people don’t really understand this whole scraping thing. For example, you can torrent all of Reddit until the API-change; all the comments, profiles, usernames, including now deleted stuff. There is a lot of outrage here over Reddit cracking down on these 3rd party tools. It’s difficult to see how that outrage over cracking down on 3rd party tools, fits with this outrage here over not cracking down on 3rd party tools.

Anyway, if someone want to archive all of Bluesky, they don’t need to offer some AI toy. They can just download the content via the API.

Not really sure why there are no complaints about the story regarding the copyright suit against OpenAI.

Kind of a shame that our fish ancestors didn’t have more gills. I wonder what we’re missing. I mean, we’re obviously missing something, right?

Please babe! I can change! Here’s proof!

Wait, how did they build the snowman? There’s no snow on the ground.

Yes. Very much the reason that Europe can’t make much of a contribution.

Copyright is of major importance for technology. Think of AI.

Strange that the adults don’t want those benefits for themselves also.

Facebook/Meta has developed software to estimate the age from a video.

I don’t see any way that this can be enforced that isn’t problematic.

Comes with the territory. The point is to control who has access to what information so that they don’t get wrong ideas.

A thought I had was, that this might be a paid online poll. The answers might reflect the true feelings of the demographic that makes it a hustle to respond to those. Anyway, from my personal experience, the results are not obviously wrong. I matured before influencer culture became big. To me, it was always people playing pretend; a form of online role-playing; another thing I never got into. I feel that those a bit younger, who grew up with influencer culture, simply did not develop a world model where that distinction exists. Of course, these topics don’t come up in casual conversation, and on the internet you never really know someone’s age.

If you are outside the EU and don’t receive money from inside the EU, then there is no realistic way in which a fine can be collected. IDK if it is possible to use IP bans, and such, against services that don’t comply with the DSA and other such regulation, but that would still not be something a non-commercial instance would need to worry about.

But many Lemmy instances are inside the EU, and fines can certainly be collected from them.

The idiotic things are:

1. to make it the measure of financial success.

2. to believe you can make it.

If that’s your definition of financial success, you - almost certainly - will not be successful. If you are on track for, say, an Ivy League education, then you have a realistic chance, with the right degree. For most people, it will be clear by age 18 whether the chance is realistic or not.

Ahh, yes. Purging the armed forces. Nothing sinister about that. Just restoring the professional military service.
