It’s that interoperability of unique instances that makes the Fediverse resistant to scraping. The posts are all public, but crawling it all and categorizing everything is probably like untangling a cotton ball.

I think you can have this same dilemma as an atheist as well.

I’d like to hear your opinions on how you think so (truly). The way I see things, Atheism is only the answer to a single question: do you believe in any gods? If “yes,” you’re a theist or deist. If “no; I don’t know; not currently; maybe one day,” then you’re an atheist. It’s not a philosophy or a comprehensive worldview, and it can’t possibly answer deeper questions.

What you’re referring to in the latter half is Determinism and Compatibilism (Determinism + free will). Science is currently leaning pretty strongly towards Determinism, but since Compatibilism doesn’t add much more to the idea, it’s also still a candidate possibility.

It’s very likely you could calculate every chain reaction from the Big Stretch up until now and maybe even into the future. Whether we have the ability to affect or disrupt those chains might be a matter of philosophy.

Son, you’ve got a panty on your head…

Graber replied that generative AI companies are “already scraping public data from across the web,” including from Bluesky, since “everything on Bluesky is public like a website is public.” So she said Bluesky is trying to create a “new standard” to govern that scraping, similar to the robots.txt file that websites use to communicate their permissions to web crawlers.

Do you have any statements from the dev? Would be curious to know if there’s anything that corroborates it being abandoned or on hiatus.

But it sure does seem that way. I remember Boost for Reddit getting updates all the time, and this one had a few in the beginning, then it just kinda stopped with bugs unresolved.

It’s a shame, because there’s a lot to like about Boost.

Still not on Boost, unfortunately.

Oh, how I wish spoilers worked in my Lemmy app…

It only counts if you get caught, after all

What a waste of taxpayer money. Maybe all that claptrap about government waste was just a confession after all… /s

The intersection of those people and the people who just stick whatever the AI writes into their Production codebase is a circle.

Mangione for President

He almost certainly abuses ketamine. He got his dealer a job in DOGE, after all.

Melon Husk has access to the innermost systems of the US government, without oversight.

Which of the systems has he and his team of cryptobros left in the DMZ?

Perhaps they could try giving an AR to every employee and putting up a banner that says “Murica! Patriot Freedom! Yee Haw!” on the entrance.

Those words are like a magic spell that short-circuits idiots’ brains.

Hey thanks. That’s something I didn’t even know existed, and it’s something I’ll have to look into before I make the switch.

This is by design. They’re trying to frustrate you, because they’ll then upsell you on the “premium” subscription later on that returns the “old ways,” all while mining your data. And if you continue to use the free stuff, they’ll just mine you harder with AI.

They’re angling for a rent-based economy where they’re the landowners and we’re the sharecroppers paying to use their stuff. The only way out is to de-google and start taking your privacy seriously.

Removing CSAM is censorship. Removing hatespeech is censorship. What you call censorship is just moderation, and it’s necessary.

Libertarian free speech is a pipe dream, and trying to implement it always ends up giving a platform to bad actors like Nazis and child predators. Nobody here wants to recreate 4chan and 8chan except people who have an agenda.

OP appeared to break the rules and then followed up in that same community with a snarky jab at the moderators, rather than having a discussion with the mods like an adult.

Here. Witness the definitely earnest questions from OP that the mean ol’ moderators removed. /s

They’re intentionally hiding that bit, because they don’t want you to have a full picture of what they did and why they’re now spamming as many communities as possible to get sympathy.

I don’t think they’re actually curious. They’ve already had this exact discussion on Ye Power Tripping Bastards hours ago, and they’re apparently trying to drum up sympathy on as many subs as possible while playing the victim. Go look at their recent post history.

If they have time to spam multiple subs over the course of many hours and didn’t even take the time to look it up on Wikipedia themselves, they’re obviously not that interested in learning something and more interested in pushing some kind of agenda while feigning ignorance.

I’m actually waiting with baited breath for the release, because Universal Blue is already cooking a Cosmic version in the meantime. It will be awesome to rebase to that when it’s ready.

It hasn’t been mentioned publicly, because of the fact that it’s still Alphaware, but you can find it in their GitHub repos.

See? Better than what he deserved.
