😀 just want to note theres a call out to this debate in the Wikipedia page on copyright infringement. I promise I didn't add that paragraph there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_infringement

Omg remember games that didn't have saving but had a code you had to write down on physical paper to get back to where you were?

"Is copyright infringement theft" is something that had been debated for as long as mp3s were a thing. This is an old argument with lots of material on both sides scattered across the web. I clearly fall on the side of copyright infringement is theft and theft is stealing.

Re: Stolen. Not stolen comments Copyright law as interpreted judges is still being worked out on AI. Stay tuned if it's defined as stolen or not. But even if the courts decide existing copyright law would define training on artists work as legitimate use. The law can change and it still could swing the way of the artist if congress got involved.

My personal opinion, which may not reflect what happens legally is I hope we all get more control over our data and how it's used and sold. Wether that's my personal data like my comments, location or my artistic data like my paintings. I think that would be a better world

Thank you!

Is pleroma bad? What's the deal there

Ya that's him. I think this might be a limitation of the fact theyre legit a 20 y/o in college. I'm revealing my biases but a lot of people I know really didn't level out emotionally until their mid to late 20s, myself included.

Bitwarden is supposed to be getting support for passkeys this summer. I hope it comes soon.

another change to Twitter’s ad policy. Starting August 7th, advertisers that haven’t reached certain spending thresholds will lose their official brand account verification. According to emails obtained by the WSJ, brands need to have spent at least $1,000 on ads within the prior 30 days or $6,000 in the previous 180 days to retain the gold checkmark identifying that the account belongs to a verified brand.

fwiw I think mozilla's response was the most thought out response available to date. https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/852#issuecomment-1648820747

An alternative that may address the concerns in comments would be temporary sub communities for loud events

1. Create community technology_elon_bs@
2. Mods of parent community inherit sub
3. Create a pinned post in parent community announcing.
4. Close sub community when noise goes down.

For completeness. This is the video thumbnail for the review he posted from these notes.

Yikes 😬

I'm so sorry for everyone on teams. 🫂
