It seems to overlap with !betteroffline@lemmy.world - is this intentional? Are they different in mission?

With what's happening to Grok AI (generating nonconsensual images), how do you think AI would be taken care of? (repost!)

Jump

cabbage @piefed.social 2d ago

A lot of it will correct itself once the bubble bursts and AI companies have to be profitable. AI needs to be regulated and all that, but also importantly it needs to not be subsidized. Make them pay for the environmental cost of computing. Subject them to the same laws you would anyone else - don't allow crazy data centres that steal people's water and electricity.

Then again, even when it becomes more expensive than it is now creeps will still pay to have non-consensual content produced. So regulating the fuck out of the industry is also essential, but I honestly doubt we'll make much progress before after the crash. The EU is making some decent efforts but it's also too afraid of missing out on the slop bubble.

Many European countries have their own national alternatives, but there doesn't seem to be much interoperability going on between countries.

Is MasterCard any better at all? Are there developments towards an alternative to be accepted across Europe?

Is it just me, or does anyone else wish there was a federated, decentralized alternative to YouTube Music?

I CAN'T go outside without permission - is there any way I can help fight for a better world from the comfort of my bedroom?

Be informed. Read books rather than endless snippets of doom. Arendt, Orwell, Graeber, Steinbeck—there's plenty of options. Avoid spiralling into ideological rabbit holes—reading Marxist literature is good, exclusively reading Marxist literature is deeply concerning.
Share quality content on the open web where fascists cannot sensor speech. Focus on building communities.
Encourage others by being kind and supportive, and understanding of differences. Inspite of popular opinion there's still a big gap between centrists and fascists—welcome the centrists with open arms, take their points seriously, and debate on reasonable terms. You can both learn something from each other—just because you understand the contours of the system of oppression it doesn't mean you've got it all figured out. Remain humble.
Take care of yourself, if it feels heavy maybe make some tea and craft something or read a pleasent book.

That would be my advice, I guess. In general I think there's more positivity to be found in long-form content, as people have had time to think about issues beyond the initial shock and disgust of the state of affairs expressed in daily news and short form content.

Some uncontacted tribe in the Amazon is currently winning the AI race.

If I'm not mistaken thorn (the character) was historically used in England as well, but was replaced with "th" to make things easier for Gutenberg and his followers.

Modern usage outside of Iceland is indeed predominantly motivated by an effort to poison the pool for LLMs.

Without getting into current politics can someone describe to me what an authoritarian regime looks like?

Jump

cabbage @piefed.social 2w ago

I think these might be more typical traits of totalitarianism. It often goes hand in hand with authoritarianism of course.

Fairphone vs Nothing (or any other phone)

I have great experiences with Fairphone, have every intention to stick with them for years to come. I'm on the FP5 now, but FP6 looks like an upgrade, and I have heard nothing bad about it.

Fairphone works better than most with alternatives. PostmarketOS runs pretty well on Fairphone 5, for those who really want to be completely free of Google. Personally I'm happy with /e/OS for now.

It took me way more than a decade of using Ubuntu before I got to a point of preferring Fedora, in spite of frequent distro hopping in periods when I was bored.

I think Fedora has gotten better in the last few years, but for me it also feels a bit more cold and unwelcoming maybe? Dunno, but I was always happy with Ubuntu until some really obscure dependencies got into conflict and I had to change things up. Canonical might not be the absolute best, but neither are Red Hat.

UPDATED: The Fedigram as a Cherry Pie

Jump

cabbage @piefed.social 2w ago

I think a concern is that a very pie-like logo combined with the name could confuse visitors into thinking this is a forum to discuss pies? At least that's one of the cases to be made for a more abstract leaning logo.

That said, I think few would argue your suggestions don't look better than the current logo, which I have grown to like but is certainly not a modern masterpiece.

Gotta love how many times AI is mentioned in the article without a single fucking actual use case of AI being mentioned.

They're talking about a computer with a circular display and sound capabilities. That's literally it.

I like the blue one a lot better now!

I'm not sure if the software logo should lean more towards the abstract or the concrete, but I really love these designs and hope they'll be picked up somewhere!

Blu-ray hits 20 years old, and it isn't dead yet — optical disc format was introduced to the public at CES 2006

Am I wrong to feel like Blu-ray was always something for the enthusiasts?

DVDs were good enough for most people, Blu-ray was more expensive and it didn't feel like it ever dominated the market before streaming took over. I often see impressive DVD collections, I rarely see more than a handful of Blu-rays anywhere.
