Molly White, who writes the Citation Needed newsletter and Web3 is Going Just Great blog, described this as “a good proposal,” and said it was “weird to see people flaming BlueSky for it,” since it’s not so much “welcoming in AI scraping” but rather “trying to add a consent signal to allow users to communicate preferences for the scraping that is already happening.”

That being said, yes, not great

We probably can't escape Ai everywhere, let's face it But most people won't care like they didn't care about their data in general before AI

I'm already using Mastodon in parallel, but I must admit I couldn't find a lot of people to follow...maybe gotta look harder, but I have to admit it doesn't seem as easy as it does on BS

 

The only Pixel I have is a Pixel 3XL which is not supported anymore for updates. A few questions. does that mean at some point you have to buy a new phone all the time? How long are they supported, do I need the buy the newest one everytime to have a decently long support? If I can install Calyx, but have already degoogled my phone, is Calyx still useful? But I suppose at this point it's still better to get a Pixel anyway and install Graphene which is supposedly better? how risky is it to run an unsupported phone like my Pixel 3XL? What can happen?

You look for a images

You get recomanded other similar images (thus engaging to a pleasant, but dangerous endless scrolling)

You can pin you images on "boards" (for instance I have one for fashion, illustration, etc)

There's probably a workaround to make something similar available online, but I didn't look info it do far

I think people hate it because crypto and all, but I use Brave search, to my knowledge (which isn't much) one of the only usable search engine that isn't using Google or Bing.

Oh, I see Well, as long as they still offer the cheaper option I need, I don't really care, it's not the prettiest sales tactic but at least I can still chose

Haha no I get that. The question is more like, why stay away from Tuta

Do you maybe have some recommandations, even older ones, that you find to be actually good? I like ASMR but have never really dug into it, watched on and off

People not talking about Startmail or Disroot. Not good options?

Huge beginner here, but privacytools.io says Mailbox is encrypted? Is it the "end to end" part? How did you find out they're not? https://www.privacytools.io/privacy-email

I'm sorry, english is not my first language but what do you mean by advising to stay away from Tuta?

Their last post if from 14 days ago, not sure how often they usually post tho

What's the alternative on Android tho? (not saying there isn't one, just that I don't know it if it exists)

due to limited ressources

Is it that hard to post the same thing on various social media? Maybe it is, I wouldn't know. But that sounds like a shitty excuse.

It looks like they're not up to date on X tho, hopefully they drop that shit. And they're on Bluesky, which, if not Mastodon, is a little bit better I guess.

I really don't get the hidden idea behind leaving Mastodon.
