Interesting solution 👍 Curious to see how this plays out!

Fair points. I’m warming up to the idea of making votes public so that people don’t have a false sense of privacy. I wish votes were actually private, but maybe it’s not a big deal if your account can’t be easily traced back to you in real life.

ActivityPub can’t evolve? Is there some insurmountable technical blocker?

I suspected this would be an issue and have avoided voting on controversial posts. But if everyone did as I do, there would be no open discussions about pressing topics.

It’s confusing enough understanding how federation works for the less technically inclined. I don’t think we should also expect them to figure out which instance is privacy-conscious. Privacy of votes should be baked into Lemmy. Even kbin users shouldn’t be able to see it.

If users want to advertise their approval/disapproval of posts they can use public comments in tandem with private votes.

It’s probably supposed to be a Godzilla-like creature.

Dual booting is also an option.

Costs €5 but you can only play it once

Jokes aside, cool concept :)

Isn’t chromium open source? How are the APIs a secret?

A Wizard of Earthsea and The Tombs of Atuan

What if they kept the green color just to troll…

I see the same names cropping up in many disparate communities

I think one reason for this is because it’s easier for a post to bubble up to “All > Hot” on Lemmy since there are less people and less posts here.

The subreddit I was active on is still going strong, albeit with less interested mods. I think the impact of us leaving depends on the types of subs most lemmies used to be on. I don’t think anyone from the sub I was on left reddit.

That makes them a humongous database

I understand why you’re saying that, but I personally don’t agree. As AIs face legal challenges, maybe your opinion will be adopted, we’ll see.

I really do not believe midjourney is storing all the files on the Internet in a humongous database. They are just exposing the AI to them for training just like you expose your computer to them when you visit with your web browser. I’m happy to be wrong about this, but I’m just not convinced. Please try to keep your temper.

I don’t think anyone is advocating to legalize the sale of copyrighted material made via AI.

When you look at a picture of the joker online, your browser is caching an image file of the joker on your computer. Is that not an illegal copy?

The framebuffer on your computer copies the data to display the font to you. That’s my point. Not every form of copying infringes on copyright.

The stuff I sell on jilanico.com? Enough to make it worth my while.

That’s a good point. Musicians have been known to accidentally reproduce the same beat as another musician (was is done subconsciously or just coincidence?). Some books are strikingly similar to other books that it makes you wonder if it was a rip off or just coincidence. So it’s nothing new, but it may become more prevalent with AI. This could spawn a new industry of investigators ensuring your AI generated art isn’t infringing on any copyrights 🤔

Most of the stuff that inspires me probably wasn’t paid for. I just randomly saw it online or on the street, much like an AI.

AI using straight up pirated content does give me pause tho.
