03·1 month agoThe point you felt was worth making a week later
Again, five days ago. Some people like myself stumble upon a post/comment days and days later from when its initially posted.
is that I am free to block someone who does something I find kind of annoying?
Yeah, for some reason people who complain about me using a license seem to keep forgetting that option, but instead just continue to complain, for some strange reason, no matter how many times I remind them of that option. Thought it was a good PSA to remind the complainers they they have alternatives to complaining.
That seems a little extreme to me.
If that seems extreme to you, then you need to touch grass more often.
Extreme would be continuing to complain about something that you have the power to change, but don’t change.
What is that point?
at the very least it’s way less annoying to see it on a website than it is under every comment
You’re free to block those that use the license, if you find it annoying to see.
You’re free to reply to a week-old comment, too, but neither is a great idea
Actually, five days, not a week.
And also, sometimes its just about making a point, even if you stumble upon something later on. 🤷

what are you going to do? Sue?
Personally? I let Creative Commons know what’s going on, that their licenses are being ignored.
I’m pretty sure they’d have something to say about the matter.
Ah well then I might try and find a license that doesn’t require attribution because I don’t care about that part.
I would argue attribution is also really important, as it forces them to expose publicly how they’re training their models, bringing awareness.
Nice off-topic comment. Pretty sure by now everybody is aware of that (and other posts) on the topic of using a license.
n the meantime I’ve been changing my post sort from Active, to Top Posts in the Past 12 Hours.
If you set it to ‘New’ Lemmy becomes a whole new place.
If someone includes it at the bottom of all their comments, but never launches legal action when someone violates that licence agreement, then it’s literally useless.
Well, its ‘poisoning the well’. What happens next depends.
For AI companies that actually honor licensing, or are fearful of getting caught at some point, they’ll honor/follow the license for the content.
And for those who do not, if they get caught with their hands in the cookie jar, Creative Commons (and other license creators) will have something to say about it. And they will get caught, we all know about black-box programming their models from the outside via our comments.
Finally, Congress right this second is considering new laws about this, so you never know. Companies in the future may be forced to have to explicitly state where the content comes from that they train their AI models on.
As far as wasting my time, all I do is copy/paste this one line of text via a macro keypress …

81·2 months agoand the kernel folks just went “it is the kernel, everything is critical”
tl;dr: this is pretty much an elaborate “go fuck yourself” towards shady ‘security’ companies.
Apologies for my ignorance, but could you elaborate?
I’m sincerely not seeing the connection between saying everything is critical as a go fuck yourself towards those companies.
Is it a ‘death by quantity’ thing?
01·2 months agoWhen we finally figure out and understand, in a real world mechanical sort of way, quantum mechanics, all bets will be off.
It’ll open up a new perspective on the Universe (dare I say Metaverse?), and where we fit in with everything.
1·2 months agoDrama is over, people continue using Unity as if there are no issues with it.
One out of six is not bad, considering the costs of migrating over from Unity to Godot, and the maturity level of Godot vs Unity. The real tell will be for future/new projects, and in what product they are done in.
But overall, familiarity (and sunk-cost fallacy) grabs you by the privates, and its hard to get it to let go.
When I see these kind of posts I can’t help but think that maybe they’re being made by people who could be astroturfing for another company and it’s OS, in a negative way, to redirect the narrative.
1·3 months agoDON’T ENSHITTIFY!
They kind of already did, at least they did in the past.
They fought pretty hard to make you only use their toners, and they would warn you to change your toner cartridges way earlier than it was necessary to do so, disabling the printer if you didn’t. I remember having to put tape over the optical device in the printer that looks at the toner cartridge, just so I can keep using my toner cartridge.
Don’t get me wrong, I love my brother mfc7840w printer, but it’s so weird to hear so much praise for Brother, it’s like there is group amnesia about how they used to be on some of this stuff themselves.
1·4 months agoIt’s funny reading this, because the way I heard the story was as a railroad story.
The train engine wouldn’t run. The expert was called, he arrived, and after inspecting the train engine, knew exactly were to apply a little bit of oil to make it run again. His bill was challenged as being overly expensive, and he countered with them paying for the knowledge of where to apply to oil, not the oil itself.
There’s like all these different versions of the same philosophy of the story
I don’t know what javafx is

Again, its five days since you posted your comment, not a week, and its just seen by me for the first time about two hours ago.
