What always freaks me out is people considering their government worse than the likes of Meta, Palantir, Google, Microsoft… At least you can vote (hopefully) for a different government. The problem is when the companies are able to buy governments, like USA is.

But you can fork it and make your own thing. Standard hierarchy has much more power over resources. Git’s hierarchy is almost simbolic.

But attestation is already “a thing”!! These companies are just asking for a more democratic system. Might not be the best idea ever, but it’s at least better than Google’s monopoly.

I started reading the full argument, and correct me if I am wrong, but don’t they always start with a defendable idea and end up simply sounding crazy as hell when they start talking unrelated shit about other projects?

Like, look at this: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/116200362765756182

They are literally saying that their plan is to ban GrapheneOS. That’s CRAZY, and obviously not true. It’s basically paranoid. Which I guess fits 😅

IMO, this is overkill. Touch grass, live life. Movies can come later.

Didn’t Google literally ban this feature from Android a couple years back? I hope it doesn’t become a Pixel exclusive thing.

Fuck Google anyway.

But we currently have copyright laws and AI companies stole everything ANYWAY and NOTHING HAPPENED. Don’t you see that copyright is just a tool from big capital to stop true innovation and creative freedom?

There is copyright for everything and artists still struggle today. Copyright is just another tool to make companies OWN their workers work.

Abolish copyright and see artists flourish. See your local artist create custom art for your favourite movie without getting crushed if they get famous. See movies getting made by truly creative minds funded by YOU and not studios that want to sell toys and phones. Have they lost the ability to become billionaires from a hit? Should we feel sorry for that? NO ONE should own so much.

With PipePipe, I’ve had an amazing experience, in very very few ocasions I had videos failing on me, and when I went to F-Droid (with Izzy-On-Droid) there there was, the update that already fixed the issue.

I get your point but E2E is independent from public key validation. Public key validation is basically being a bit more slightly sure that the E2E communication happens with who you think, although… It’s never a guarantee. Keys can be stolen.

Small phone? Looks huge to me.

Oh, god, I thought I was the only one who fucking hates stale bots!!

As a maintainer, you should handle all issues, and yes, maybe classify them into “low importance” or even close issues where not enough data could be provided. But letting them dissapear under the rug??

What the fuck? That feels like you don’t give a shit. Someone made an effort to report something. Someone cared. Keep it in check! Be human!

I believe these stale bots are put by people who want to keep their issues at a low number so they look “better maintained” or something. Awful behaviour.

If you don’t look away from the Sun after 0.05 seconds of direct eye contact what kind of robotic AI are you?

Luanti is cooler.

Never had an issue with LibreTorrent.

I absolutely agree. For me, a very similar thing can be said for art. It should be okay to scrap free and open source data, and copyleft art and make whatever you want with it. That is why I put a copyleft license on things! Just release the code, and acknowledge the source.

If you waste your time shitting on LLMs and AI models as a concept… You are totally missing the point. These are useful tools. Not as useful as the oligarchs want you to believe. But they are useful. And people find value in them. This is the reality.

You should focus on who controls and monopolises these concepts, not the concept itself.

It’s a flag you set up yourself, it’s in your user configuration.

You can still buy all of those without any “smart” capabilities easily.

Is there a fork that has Sponsorblock submissions available?

That’s my biggest downside with FreeTube, the dev is anti-sponsorblock, he just added basic sponsorblock reading because it was too obvious everyone wanted it.

Unless the digital Euro or GNU Taler really become the norm… You are totally stuck with multibillion corps controlling every single digital cent of yours.

The data has already been scrapped, processed, categorized and indexed. This is quite literally true.

Do not worry about it, and simply try to not give them much from now on.

Also filling the internet with junk is how our best ever collective project dies. Don’t be a part of that.
