The problem comes from people responding to them, in communities that are text-first. You can flag a person as a troll… but unless you ban them, then eventually the discussions spill over.

Overwatch doesn’t have that same issue, because text is not at its core; you can mute people, and keep playing the game. Game-disrupting players though, still get banned.

That would work, if it wasn’t individuals who don’t see others as people. The moment someone dehumanizes others, there are dedicated professional who can babysit them back to sanity.

My bad, Kiwix is on IzzyOnDroid. You’re right, F-Droid itself might have a tougher time.

F-Droid does automated patching already, they often remove “anti-features”. The migration is a PITA, but not the end of the world, Kiwix did that recently (split into Play Store and F-Droid versions).

No matter how much epoxy you put on a broken condom, it’s not going to work. The moment ads get sent via the same encrypted “tunnel”/connection as the service, you can no longer separate them at the network level.

I downloaded Sora.

Not Sora, Sora’s app. Sora is a cloud service.

And if the business model of open AI is advertising

It’s not, it’s to sell AI services to other businesses.

Cuz the business model was supposed to be 40% of people lose their jobs

Was not, it was always to sell AI services to other businesses. Marketing hyperbole… that’s marketing for you.

in that world, maybe maybe it’s worth half a trillion dollars. In that world, maybe Nvidia is worth the entire pharmaceutical industry combined.

The largest breakthrough in AI so far, is precisely its use in the pharmaceutical industry.

But Nvidia is definitely not worth the entire pharmaceutical industry combined

No, it’s worth more.

if the business model is making slop talk worse by putting slop advertisements into it.

It’s not. Not to say there won’t be advertisements, and propaganda, and manipulation… that’s just an extra, not the business model.

I’m scrolling Martin Luther King Jr. going 67. Like, that’s got to be illegal somehow. Like, I’m pretty sure that you can’t just do that.

It was not, is not, and public domain is public domain for a reason.
Asking for something else, is censorship, like what Trump is asking for right now.

The friction matters. How easy it is to do this stuff matters.

Censorship talk again.

And then they put like a little watermark here that’s like extraordinarily easy to crop out. It’s never in the middle. It’s always at the top or the bottom.

Plenty of videos out there with the watermark right in the middle.

They shouldn’t be in charge of the kind of thing that could literally by their own admission destroy humanity.

Hook, line, and sinker. More marketing hype.

I don’t see the issue:

1. F-Droid compiles the apps
2. F-Droid publishes the apps
3. F-Droid gets registered
4. F-Droid subclasses app identifiers under its own

…and things go back to normal.

You won’t be able to update an F-Droid app with an Obtainium one, but Android is already warning about those, not allowing automatic updates from mixed sources.

$8.76/kWh is a terrible fucking investment

Not kWh, it says watts not watt-hours.

Still a silly way to refer to computing power, though.

Ragebait misinformation video.

Funny that it’s criticizing misinformation, while doing it himself 😒

Could mean FOSS but they keep the trademark.
