  • Mastodon updates terms of service to ban AI model training on user data

    Jump

  • It just means that the decision comes down to the instance owner not the software developer, which I think is right. Everyone should be able to decide what their computer does, that's important to hold on to.

  • Mastodon updates terms of service to ban AI model training on user data

    Jump

  • It wouldn't be a free software licence by the FSF definition (rule zero). Of interest the FSF rejects the original JSON licence because it contains the clause “The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil.” Since Mastodon uses AGPL, it wouldn't be compatible.

  • Mastodon updates terms of service to ban AI model training on user data

    Jump

  • That's a really misleading headline; a Mastodon instance has done this, Mastodon as a whole can't do this because it's free software, it can be used for any purpose.

  • What's lemmy's governance system?

  • say the UK is not officially a federation (not that I’m aware of at least) but it’s also a collection of various and at time very diverging populations and countries/states/regions

    Sorry for being that kind of nerd but I have to somehow, the UK is a unitary state, pretty much the opposite of a federation. Meaning regional powers are granted by the central government not inherited from its component parts.

  • When will you "quit" the internet?

  • Like with the Gemini protocol perhaps? (I've not checked in on that in a while though)

  • Beany chilly (vegan)

  • Looks good, recipe?

  • Mullvad leta vs 4get

    Jump

  • I mean I would think twice about using them as a single source for search, the same as I would think twice about using Google as a single source. That's why I prefer to use an aggregator.

  • Mullvad leta vs 4get

    Jump

  • Well I'm not a fan of Brave or Google as companies for individual reasons, look up about Brave's CEO for example.

    I prefer to use an aggregator so at the moment I'm using searxng; the main downside I've found is that instances tend to get blocked from indexes eventually so you do have to move around a bit.

  • Mullvad leta vs 4get

    Jump

  • The fact that it uses Brave's index is partly what puts me off using Mullvad Leta.

  • No data I'm afraid but it just doesn't ring true to me, unless there are vast regional differences. It sticks out to me as much as if you'd said that Bing is the largest search engine; I've barely heard of Apple email but almost everyone I know uses Gmail except me, including Apple users I know.

  • Are you saying Apple is a larger email provider than Google? I'd find that very surprising.

  • Lenovo now ship with Fedora

    Jump

  • I thought they'd done this for years (on certain Thinkpads anyway)? Still I'd rather install my own than trust Lenovo to install it for me.

  • Fedora Linux 42 released

    Jump

  • I guess I'm biased because when I first started using Linux some 20 years ago it was considered user friendly for the time. Plus I must have used it hundreds of times since I had a previous job which involved setting up a lot of CentOS servers, which could have blinded me to the problems. Still, I think it's reassuring to do everything from a central overview page for your configuration choices, takes away a bit of self-doubt. I'm not complaining though, as long as the new one does the job.

  • Fedora Linux 42 released

    Jump

  • Just upgraded. I think I must have been the only person in the world to like the old Fedora installation UI but everyone complained about it so it must be good news that it's gone, as long as I don't hate the new one.

  • Cryptocurrency entrepreneur eats banana he bought for $6.2m

    Jump

  • I thought this happened months ago. Did another cryptocurrency person else eat the banana? That's not that original.
