I was curious if a robots.txt equivalent exists for AI training data, and there was some solid points here:

If I go to your writing, I read it & learn from it. Your writing influences my future writing. We've been okay with this as long as it's not a blatant forgery.

If a computer goes to your writing, it reads it & learns from it. Your writing influences its future writing. It seems we are not okay with this, even if it isn't blatant forgery.

[AI at the moment is] different because the company is re-using your material to create a product they are going to sell. I'm not sure if I believe that is so different than a human employee doing the same thing.

I still think we should have the ability to opt out like we do with search engines and webcrawlers, but if the algorithm works ideally and learns but does not recycle content, is it truly any different from a factory of workers pumping out clones of popular series on Amazon? I honestly don't know the answer to that.

I joined maybe 6 years ago, and there was a bit of shit talking and most posts had a troll answer hitting the most votes for some reason, but it was usually pretty good to scroll straight past and find some really insightful comments. There was a lot of good stuff around reddit, but slowly the absurb number of awards, NFT avatars, reposts, and ads every third post started to corrupt it. It was simple enough to switch to a third party app for quite a while, but the garbage slowly took over.

Even if they hadn't pulled 3rd party apps, it was getting pretty close a point where it wasn't worth scrolling past the bullshit.

Wow that's the whole article? I guess the TL;DR is "pay me to find out literally anything"

If it's over VPN, then it could be your VPN server got flagged. If not, then it's probably just an unusual number of queries. Usually works to wait a few minutes either way.

(Intel)[https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005511/wireless.html) has a list of compatible cards and their drivers which may help, follow the instructions and reboot to run usually.

If it's an adaptor there's odds it's not designed for it, I had issues with a USB mounted adaptor myself.

It takes a while to kick habits, the feeling of "who the fuck will ever see this comment" keeps stopping me from posting half the time. At least on Lemmy there's plenty of chance someone will.

You can use the inbuilt containers to separate cookies, which should allow you to use multiple accounts simultaneously. Profiles appears to be the direct equivalent to chromium profiles however and may function better but I haven't used it yet.

I was too, but sounds like the TL;DR is they're the supporting infrastructure which substack uses:

Substack’s team built its service on Stripe’s infrastructure, which bypassed significant investment in engineering. By leaning on Stripe’s expertise, Substack could scale quickly and focus its energy on fulfilling its promise to writers. The company offers better services because it can continue to lean on Stripe and direct extra bandwidth toward customers.

For me, it was often a place where a lot of qualified people would essentially write blogs because hosting their own site for it would get utterly ignored by google. The last few years though I've got more utter morons than people who can write a good article, even for generic questions that they could straight up copy and paste from another site.

While it likely is spam for the majority of users, I imagine the mods are looking at de-federating an instance that fulfills a specific need for a small number (keeping alien.top users updated on reddit). Because of that, it will likely have a bit of push back to de-federate entirely vs. a request to create the ability to block users/platforms. Think of it like newsletters, we need the ability to unsubscribe/block them, but we shouldn't necessarily ban them outright.

The public part of it would be the RSA pubkey, likely linked with an identifier such as the SHA-256 hash of the email. You could quite easily have that ledger public and it would take millennia to crack any of the emails, much easier to use fuzzing with common words and names than trying wasting computing power for a single email. The whole point of blockchain is that it's an immutable public ledger which would actually suit this idea quite well.
