Azzu , to Today I Learned in TIL humans are the only animal with a chin. We aren't sure why.

I don't have a source on hand, but I'm sure that a pronounced chin has been found in studies as male attractiveness symbol

Azzu , to Technology in China is attempting to mirror the entire GitHub over to their own servers, users report

For example.

But honestly I was more joking. The thing that makes most projects useful is the developers developing it, and they can't clone that

They're not supposed to, it's just about blocking them from using the software :)

The real solution is to include a few tiananmenSquare variables in all the repositories. Either they exclude the entire repository or just the specific file, in either case the entire project may be unusable.

With Proton, a large majority of games run on Linux, and most even better than on windows.

Huh I thought I've been downloading stuff with ipfs from them the whole time

Any piracy costing money is also really really likely to be shut down relatively soon, making you need to change your setup.

Donation, federation (spreading the load so that a single person's hosting cost are easy for them to cover), non-intrusive premium features, public funding

Azzu , (edited ) to Technology in Slack is now using all content, including DMs, to train LLMs
@Azzu@lemm.ee avatar

I'm sorry, can everyone not read the actual link? They specifically say they are not training generative AIs, i.e. LLMs.

They are using the data to train non-generative AIs for stuff like emoji and channel suggestions. I.e. "you use this emoji a lot, so it's displayed first" or "people that are in these channels of yours also join these other channels you're not in yet".

This is class A misinformation being spread here, good job. It's unbelievable that I'm the first one to actually verify the truth of this post, because I wanted to share it further and that's what you do before.

@Azzu@lemm.ee avatar

I block ads specifically so websites that rely on ads as revenue die.

@Azzu@lemm.ee avatar

I want businesses relying on ads to die though. Doesn't work if too few people use adblockers.

Azzu , to Technology in OpenAI strikes Reddit deal to train its AI on your posts
@Azzu@lemm.ee avatar

That's how it is currently and maybe also your opinion. But that doesn't mean it has to be like that in a society. It's your opinion that everything public can go private at any time (training proprietary private AI), but we can decide as a society that's not how we want to do things. We can require stuff that used public data to be public as well.

And yeah I kinda get to choose that. As democratic society, anything that the public (i.e. including me) decides, goes. Of course, if there are people like you that don't want stuff trained on public data to be required to be public, democracy will also work in the sense that we don't get that, as it is currently.
