Maybe could say it’s a Pastafarian ritual for the same legal protection as confession in Christian religions?

Moderation kinda depends on identity, as the trolls who want every room to be toxic will enter every room and make sure it’s toxic if there’s no identification.
- Comment on Debian decides not to decide on AI-generated contributions 3 days ago:
The copyright concerns can be mitigated somewhat by prompting to follow existing patterns in the codebase(and double checking that it has done that when reviewing the generated code)
- Comment on Debian decides not to decide on AI-generated contributions 3 days ago:
it enriches the pocketbooks of the techno-fascists that run those datacenters.
Depends, in a lot of cases it costs them more money to service the query than they charge 😅.
Although it’s all borrowed money so it doesn’t matter to them…
Still causing all that havoc on the environment and poisoning with potentially proprietary stolen code though…
They’re gonna be running those data centers regardless though, as most of the cpmpute time is spent on training new models…
- Comment on Debian decides not to decide on AI-generated contributions 3 days ago:
It can be good at generating boilerplate code or copying an existing solution, so maybe it might be useful for less critical parts such as adding a GUI for some feature that was previously limited to the command line…

Google tried to do something similar with thier AI summaries, but every time I’ve looked at its “citations” they’ve said nothing that it said they did, or the exact opposite…

In this case, wouldn’t rolling your own email server make it even easier to find you, since they’ll just have to look up who registered the domain you used for your email address?

3rd party apps.
Reddit apps addicted me to ad free content delivered in the way Eternity for lemmy does, and that’s no longer available for reddit.

- Comment on Amazon's Ring and Google's Nest Unwittingly Reveal the Severity of the U.S. Surveillance State 3 weeks ago:
People are stuck in the role they were born to, but it seems like there are no artificial barriers to advancement
In the lower three classes, people are cloned in order to produce up to 96 identical “twins.” Identity is also achieved by teaching everyone to conform, so that someone who has or feels more than a minimum of individuality is made to feel different, odd, almost an outcast.

I’d argue that intentionally cloning people with limited abilities and then raising them to stay in thier lane is an artificial barrier…

It seems Brave new world is the global north/middle class, 1984 is the global south/working class… With class experience varying by county and over time with a tend towards 1984 experience as the majorities wealth gets extracted by the upper class.

I haven’t read it, what’s not dystopian about it?
The first thing Wikipedia says about it is “Brave New World is a dystopian novel” 😅
Maybe you not finding it especially dystopian says more about the state of the world right now than the book… 😅

Sometimes it can be handy to be able to load all the data into one page by middle clicking and moving the mouse to the bottom of the screen, waiting for a bit, then saving the html.
Used that and some regex to export my list of musicians I like from Spotify and import them into tidalrr.
