That’s it young man, I’m revoking your DNA privileges

Health insurance companies sure seem like socialized healthcare but with some rich guys that steal money out of the pot

The way I see it, creatives lose no matter what here, so they can either lose and only the corpos benefit, or they can lose and everyone benefits

OpenAI losing their case is how we ensure that the only people who can legally be in charge of an LLM are massive corporations with enough money to license sufficient source material for training, so I’m forced to begrudgingly take their side here

Ah yes, the famous Russian Number Kitty Stations

“The three biggest social media sites on the internet are nothing but screenshots of the other two” is how I heard the last 10 years described

Depending on how important these large language models end up being to society, I’d rather everyone be able to freely use copyrighted works to train them, rather than reserve their use solely for the corporations rich enough to pay for the licensing or lucky enough to already have the rights to a trove of source material

OpenAI losing this battle is how we ensure that the only people that can legally train these things are the Microsofts, Googles, and the Adobes of the world so, bizarrely, as much as I think OpenAI has turned into greedy corpo scum, I feel compelled to side with them here

It feels like such a solution in search of a problem, why would I need wireless earbuds for possibly the single device I own that, if I’m using it, will never be more than wire-length away from my ears, it’s literally either in my hand or in my pocket

Changing your search engine doesn’t stop Google from controlling 80% of Mozilla’s revenue or almost the entirety of the rest of the browser space

I just don’t like that we’re relying on the goodwill (or need for token “competition” to try to avoid antitrust) of Google for Mozilla to stick around, an ad company shouldn’t be de facto controlling almost every single browser

I’ve always been curious how many lines of code in Chromium and Firefox are from salaried software engineers, and how many are from community contributions

download firefox

look inside

80% of mozilla revenue is from google

You can’t escape

Canada is closer to the EU than the island of Great Britain is

Every single one of your upvotes on lemmy is already public due to how the protocol works, it’s just currently obscured by a bit of work to get them (have to run your own instance, assuming there already isn’t some online tool to easily look them up)

Making them publicly and easily visible would only remove the illusion of privacy we currently have, not actually make your upvote logs less secured in any way

I tried that but it doesn’t run very well on the Pentium II

We already had first Microsoft anti-trust suit, but what about second Microsoft anti-trust suit?

I’ll keep that in mind for the next time I need to run a DNS server on a Pentium II system

I think I can spare the 55mb of ram my pihole container takes up

Every browser is either chromium (open source captured by Google) or exists because of a Google search contract (this represents 80% of Mozilla’s revenue), Google can’t lose

Chrome really needs to be broken off from Google, the largest ad company owning the largest browser is clearly a huge conflict of interest
