This is why I wish those micropayment systems took off. I would be happy to pay 20 bucks a month for 'ad free' browsing if most of it actually supported the creators of the content i'm accessing.
10x their cpm is still fractions of a cent for me as a user on a per page view basis, there's space for winning here if one of the big
techad companies gets behind it and pushes. - Comment on Hogwarts Legacy has officially cleared Zelda as 2023's best-selling game worldwide 9 months ago:
Death of the author only applies if she's dead.
So unless there's been some good news in the last day, those people are just coping

It's a private company. The actions of the owner of that company reflect on the company itself, and the profits of the company support the goals of the owner.

Condemning organizations which support hate speech and eroding of civil rights is too 'political', we better just not talk about it.

Fellas, is it petty to refuse to support Nazis?

In a similar vein i would add Unsighted to this list.
- Comment on With AI scraping everything, would it make sense to add copyright notices to comments on the fediverse? CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 Deed 10 months ago:
Yeah, CC doesn't cover it in any case. Any attempt would probably need some sort of bespoke license to specifically target the training use case while still allowing comments to be used like normal.
And a Microsoft-sized pile of money to fight it out in court.

I think a lot of the concern here, for me if noone else, is them taking the data and then turning it around into a closed for-sale product. If AI is going to be trained, it should be trained well, but if the result of doing so is them turning around and charging [me/us/everyone, as applicable] an ass load for the privilege of its use then I want no part of it.
AI trained on public data should be public. So if adding boilerplate is the solution to this problem, let it be infectious licensing which forces opening of the resultant model to the public.
- Comment on Tesla Has The Highest Accident Rate Of Any Auto Brand 11 months ago:
I think there might be something to be said here for some potential selection bias. Are Tesla drivers like ram drivers, overly aggressive idiots but with the added layer of being relatively new tech?
- Comment on On the third day of Trek-mas, 11 months ago:
Fun fact: I scrubbed through that whole fight and there is exactly 1 frame where only 4 beams are on screen, and it's the view screen of the Alito and not a very clear shot. The rest are
54 beams or <=3And in DS9 the big fleet actions only have only a few ships firing at a time. I didn't think the phaser effect cost that much, but presumably I was wrong about that.
Figured it could work for the meme.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 'Isn't Going to be on Game Pass', Insists Larian Boss 11 months ago:
It's also profitable for long-duration early access games where most of your users and potential purchasers already have already bought it. Good cash injection right at the end of development from an audience that probably wasn't going to buy it anyway.

There's blueprints now if that helps.

So now they can pause comments until the heat dies down while looking reasonable because of the existing comments.
- Comment on Twitch to shut down in Korea over 'prohibitively expensive' network fees 11 months ago:
Either this is the coldest takedown i've seen on Lemmy so far or your instance's federation is having a sad. I can see 21 comments itt including users from lemmy.zip, lemmy.world, lemmy.nz,and sh.itjust.works
- Comment on Twitch to shut down in Korea over 'prohibitively expensive' network fees 11 months ago:
A lot of politician-level takes in this thread.
- Comment on Let's talk starship classes! 11 months ago:
I've always been a fan of the canon interpretation that anything other than the two nacelle pattern was because someone needed to compensate for something in the workload. Battleships (Federation-class variants, Galaxy-X) have 3 so one can get chopped off and they can keep on trucking, quads rotate through them to even wear/allow 'sprinting' for longer, singletons being 2 nacelles in a trenchcoat for cost/maintenance reasons (which explains why they're often proportionally oversized), etc.

That ending theme was irresponsibly good.
- Comment on Lemmy users when I mention I pay for Youtube Premium 1 year ago:
I pay for it so my kids' accounts don't have ads. They're too young to sort out all the edge cases that aggressive ad blocking generates and for a bonus we get youtube music.

The federated/defederated instance list isn't implemented in the production version of kbin iirc.

There's not supposed to be. Every time a transporter clone happens it's due to external and uncontrollable factors.

My L3770CDW can. Maybe that's the difference between the two, we could never figure it out when we bought it.
- Comment on Signal is Flawed, Why XMPP is Amazing! (new animated video) 1 year ago:
If you conspiracy board right back at them, the conclusion I come to is that Signal is starting to see some market penetration into non-technical spaces and that's a problem for... someone. Dealer's choice for whom. So, time to spread some FUD.

It could just be that the holodeck noise dampening isn't working today, and sleep deprived Boimler doesn't think to just call engineering to go fix it?

I just think it's neat
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
Only on planets or where things were resource constrained. On ship or station in normal operation replicators were just generally available for whatever.
