Well, I gotta ask then... How do you feel about HP's printer business model? The fact that you can only use it with HP-approved ink, in HP-approved ways. Do you think that's a fair business model which will stand or fall on its own merits, or an abusive one that prevents consumers from using their own stuff the way they want to? Should it be legal?

Maybe we can? Depends what you mean by “all of it”. Care to elaborate?
We desperately need AI regulation, but it needs to be focused on labor rights, privacy rights, and antitrust enforcement. Not copyright and DRM.
By the way, not calling you out specifically. Just seems to be a common theme in the comments, and a regularly-occurring sentiment.
I'm not down with the perpetual victim-blaming against X/Twitter users here on Lemmy.
Sources like campaigns, news outlets, authors, studios, engineers, actors, comedians, etc. post on there because they basically have to -- if they want to get the word out, that is.
Consumers go there to read from the sources because they basically have to. While each source may have their own separate blog or whatever, X/Twitter is pretty much the only place that unifies those feeds. (I know, I miss the heyday of RSS too.)
Expecting people to just "take the hit" and go dark on their communications so we can build up alternatives to X/Twitter is not an acceptable recommendation.
What we need to do is:
- Make it illegal to block third-party clients from interoperating with services
- Compel providers of a certain size to expose a first-party API
- Make it legal to reverse-engineer APIs so they can't just make the first-party API suck and call it a day
- Then we integrate X/Twitter into the fediverse, so you can start using something else and still keep your X/Twitter stuff
And the EFF has a primer on Section 230, and several opinion pieces about why nerfing 230 would be a terrible idea:
Hell yeah. I will take either or preferably both.
Generative AI is good at low-stakes, fault-tolerant use cases. Unfortunately, those don't pay very well. So the companies have to pretend it does well at everything else, too, and that any "mistakes" will be quickly cleaned up and will become a thing of the past very very soon.
It boggles my mind. If you tallied up all the cars that have Biden’s name or picture on them, I bet they’d be overwhelmingly owned by MAGA folks. Why???
I suddenly realized that for eight years I’d been ignoring this potentially amazing new process, 4,000 metres down on the ocean floor
Makes you wonder what strange things are happening right in front of us, if only we looked with the right tools.
Bullshit. I just watched that speech, and there was no chant — it was clearly one person saying “lock him up”, and they didn’t even repeat it. And she was grinning before that applause break, not in response to a random heckle at the end of it. Wtf is this.
