Now why am I on Lemmy? Because in my opinion, it's the first step towards a mainstream Fedivers! Mastodon ... [isn't] very widespread, but when you see the number of people active in Lemmy communities, it's really impressive!

🤨

Mastodon has an order of magnitude more active users than Lemmy - and the whole rest of the Fediverse - if not two orders of magnitude.

Lemmy's a great platform, but Reddit is already the niche social media site among the mainstream, and the kind if niche interest forums that ultimately built Reddit just haven't reached critical mass here yet, and that means Reddit remains very sticky. Pile on people being kind of uncomfortable with the local namespaces for both users and communities, and I don't know that Lemmy's really the killer platform for the 'verse.

Fediverse adotion is going to be a collective effort. Loops has a good chance of attracting people. It would be nice if Mastodon would actually use a standard ActivityPub implementation so it played nicer with neighbours. And microblogger discovering something other than Mastodon would be nice.

But it's not going to be just one platform. If it is, then the fediverse idea has totally failed.

You can see the discussions that inspired the Comic Book Guy.

World governments wouldn't be able to stop the LGM from just landing in the middle of Tokyo for all to see. They have no control in that situation.

Discovering microbes on Mars might be one thing, but it's also the kind of thing the general public wouldn't give a shit about.

Look at the positions of d and k on the keyboard. _ema_es.

do AI tools understand such a license text and evaluate if they can or cannot use the material?

So, this is the fun part: AI tools don't auto-ingest material to process it. The developers choose the materials to feed into the models.

And while the tech bros can understand your licenses, they don't give a flying fuck, because they think they'll be billionaires beyond consequences by the time anyone discovers that their work in particular has been ripped off.

Frankly, a blanket statement like this is completely irresponsible.

Only if you're taking as advice for some reason, not someone's lived reality.

Hey guess who gets your wife’s pension

Hahahahaha. What decade are you living in that y'all are getting pensions?

The right-wing propaganda machine is spinning up in a big way as the next election nears. There's blood in the water, and they want to kill hair-boy once and for all.

It's not just the affordability factor, either.

I've been with my partner for 8 years now. We've owned a home together for 5. She and her ex have yet to get divorced. There's been no meaningful impetus to drive them to do it: It doesn't change their relationship any further, it doesn't change her relationship with me at all, yet it costs a couple thousand bucks.

Why spend that on lawyers when you could spend it on car repairs, home upgrades, a plethora of takeout meals, or a vacation?

Hey, the execuitives already make believe they're taking risks. There's no harm in making their fantasy a little more real.

You don't really need to freeze them. Just a snapshot of what their assets were at the time, and then promise to go after their family and friends assets, if theirs appear to be suddenly lacking. Finding themselves totally isolated and unemployable is a much bigger threat than just the fine, or even prison.

I like the passport and ankle bracelet thing, though.

I know what they looked like. I had a tub of them.

But they stopped being that in the '90s. They didn't stop being for toddlers, though. And parents are strongly influenced by their own childhood when buying things for their kids.
