  • Could you please point me to legal definitions, in court or otherwise, that say it is not violating my copyright license to directly use my artwork in any shape or form for a non-fair use product? As in, a service you pay money for to create things based on the training data it has taken from me, is not fair use. Or point me to the legal definitions where I lose my copyright by posting things online? Allowing to scrape is not the same thing as giving derivative copyright license permissions. You aren't disagreeing with me, you're disagreeing with my legal rights.

  • they are just watching and learning Why is it treated so differently

    Because it isn't human. It isn't watching and learning, it is being fed my creative content as data that I have not allowed nor have been compensated for, which is then turned around and sold as a service. My work is being consumed for commercial uses by an inhuman who does not have fair use education rights, with the sole intent to create a profitable product, and I'm getting nothing. I have legal rights, no matter where I post my work, to retain my copyrights and I have the right to not consent to improper use of my works that do not align with the licenses I have chosen to give it. Websites ask for a licenses in their ToS to be able to even just display and share my artwork when I upload it. When I create an image, I am given ownership of it's copyright to control the use, distribution, and right to create derivatives. This isn't a fuzzy area, it's very clear. If an artist did not consent to their artwork being used as training data for a non-fair use reason, it is stealing their works.

    And no, it's not fair use under education. Copyright exists for human protection and uses. It isn't being used for 'learning' it's used as data to be repackaged and sold. Google's use of it showing up in search is to link back to posts that contain my work, retain my copyright, and are not derivatives. If you mean by captchas, yeah capchas are pretty bullshit.

    And circling back to my original post. So? AI companies aren't paying for their image training data, so why would they pay for reddit's api?

  • why thank ya 🍝

  • Reddit/Lemmy are link aggregators with a forum-like comment and post structure. Mastodon/Twitter are microblogging platforms. You go to someone's blog to read their thoughts, in the context of themselves, and everyone choosing to follow would like to keep up to date with their going ons/niche interests. You go to a forum to read discussions, on a specific topic, in a (somewhat) more organized fashion, and will recognize the regulars in regards to their discussion contribution.

    On Mastodon/Twitter, you follow people. On Reddit/Lemmy, you follow topics. You can follow hashtags on mastodon, and you can follow people on reddit, but in general, the philosophy of what you would do with these platforms is different. These both can work together on the fediverse, and in general, social media, because a post on either isn't much more than text and images with some categorical tags/filters. The technical specifications aren't that much different, so they can be applied in the same space.

    However, I feel like lemmy and mastodon aren't going to see as much interaction with each other for this reason. It's possible, people have already been demonstrating it, but I've tried browsing a community from mastodon and it's just not inductive to how that UI/strategy displays long form comment chains. I mean mastodon itself doesn't even create a visual indicator of comment chains. This isn't exactly a terrible downside, I do like mastodon and used twitter a lot, but I go to lemmy and mastodon for different reasons, as they were created for different purposes!

  • I, too, love factory making and optimization!

    ..yeah...

  • I'd rather there be a dedicated instance to archiving subreddits rather than populate current communities with old stuff. (As in, probably could do this to more than just selfhosted) Read only, if lemmy even works that way, but federated so people on lemmy can link to it and read in app easily. We shouldn't let reddit hold the keys to useful historical information that has been gathered over the years, I feel it needs to be self-hosted and mirrored, but forging a new community culture I think is better than direct baggage from reddit.

  • I have very bad typing issues lol. I write things super badly, and then rewrite until spell check gives me something and since I don't know how it's spelled I'll just be like "yep, that looks good."

  • I just got into gemini! Sorta, just have a gemlog on gemlog.blue. I have to remember the early internet days where you just had to go from link to link to find interesting pages and check them again at my own will, but it is a nice little break from the everything that is the modern internet.

  • "we're working on" "we’re not 100% sure we’re happy with" "could be interesting someday" "we haven’t figured out yet"

    Maybe you should have figured all of this out before you asked for developers to pay absorbent amounts and shift more people on to your official apps?

  • The best part is that everyone can win! It doesn't matter if one is more popular than the others, they all contribute to each other.

    edit: I mean those in federation, if that wasn't clear

  • I mean AI is already stealing all art and images on the web without paying anything. They could just literally scrape and pay nothing. Web scraping isn't illegal, they already do it, why would they pay anyone? Unless the law catches up about the rights to manufacture AI content based on ill-gotten data, then why would they pay what they don't have to?

  • Well yeah, but splitting winnings is secondary to actually winning. With the amount of people who religiously avoid sequential numbers, I guess you'd have less odds for picking it with someone? 'Cause at least here, the quick lotto ticket where they pick numbers for you avoids sequential numbers for this very brain worm that isn't true.

  • People believe that picking 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 as your lottery ticket numbers is insane, because that would have a insanely low/lucky chance of being picked like that. If all numbers are chosen randomly, it is the same chance. No matter any combination of any numbers chosen, 1 ticket has 1 in 13,983,816 chance of being the jackpot numbers. (For US Powerball, specifically)

  • I don't know if the headings are what people actually said to him or not, but it's very sad to see him beat up about just trusting what people who he's had a fruitful 8 year relationship with say. The blame shouldn't be on him for being positive about what to him, had been a perfectly acceptable long-standing business relationship. The fact that he can eat this cost and said he'll be fine means that he wasn't simply being blind to the realities of the world/

  • Foon to me is the sound of a pool noodle being thrown.

  • That's how my best friend makes his usernames! It's very fun that way.

  • Hey, I don't know how old you are!

  • This is a very far assessment. I didn't really think about banking apps. I don't do a ton with it, but it's very nice to check on the go. I don't use a ton of specific things on my phone that I think would have issues in that way, but I'd never know until I try. Most of what I've seen has convinced me that I should probably get an older refurbished phone and test these things out before actually attempting to move my sim card over. I want to be very idealistic now but who's to say what that looks like when I have it in my hand every day?

  • Oh huh, I wonder why I thought obsidian was open source. I might have gotten crossed when I saw "offline + (actually) free + 3rd party plugins" and assumed something like that would be open source.
