wait wait wait reddit is against AI bots? news to me… https://documentingourdecline.substack.com/p/ai-bots-appeared-after-reddit-partnered
(Why exactly would anyone believe that face ID verification can stop AI bots? Have they seen how well generative AI can generate videos of humans?)
I think someone highly confused about the UI.
How does this compare to salaries for comparable positions at comparable for-profit companies?
It’s kinda the point of donations that they can afford to hire people whose labor costs that much.
That’s not very similar to how AI typically writes, at all.
because civil liberties don’t fit neatly into a left-right spectrum, despite being a lot more important than the economic policies that the left-right spectrum aims to describe, which is why I think the left-right spectrum is mostly useless
Yes, and it also says LIBE, which is the committee, not plenary, where this was recently voted on. It’s clearly not enough members for a plenary vote, this post is misinformation as titled.
In terms of privacy, not really more than any other FOSS browser.
What’s more interesting about it is that they’re developing their own browser engine (meaning there will be another independent implementation of web standards) and licensing it (IIRC) more permissively than the existing ones. But that is of course not what this community is about.
At some point in the 2000s I chatted with the SmarterChild chatbot on MSN Messenger for a while. I was around 11 or 12 years old at the time.
I remember it once answering “sorry, web search is only available to adult users”, to which I responded “how do you know I’m just a child?”. I don’t remember what came before or after that… it might have asked me my DOB at some point before that, but am until today not sure how it knew that. Point is, none of this is new… 😁
You would be surprised what health problems people under 18 can have.
Obviously the way the previous commenter worded it would infringe on the platforms’ free speech, it’s only workable if we replace “harmful” with “illegal” (e.g. libelous).
The law will be the same in all EU countries, including whichever parts you think will be “not mandatory” (I did read those news articles and am fully aware that mandatory scanning is no longer on the table).
misleading headline, this isn’t a list of countries in which the law will (if it passes) be different (it won’t be, it’s an EU law, so will be the same in all EU countries), it’s a list of countries that currently support/oppose the law
likely not either (much) better or worse than any other place where you store your files unencrypted on someone else’s computer?
Not sure what exactly you’re asking.
Reforming the GDPR is in principle a good idea because many of the terms used in it are so vague that it’s completely unclear what it does or doesn’t mean.
Somehow I suspect that improving this isn’t what’s going to happen…
In any case, the IPA above doesn’t seem “unpronounceable” at all to me as a native speaker of German and fluent speaker of English. The pronunciation isn’t intuitive from the spelling, that is quite a different thing from being unpronounceable.
I don’t use one except for work (to connect to corporate networks).
A VPN mostly changes which entity you have to trust (from your ISP to your VPN provider). I don’t have a reason to distrust my ISP any more than any VPN provider. I don’t have any need to regularly get around any geoblocking.
When I do privacy-sensitive things, I use Tor, which is actually effective at hiding who I am and what I am doing.
Do you have a link to a source for this?
Is there a translation of https://www.eff.org/cyberspace-independence into Nepali yet, I wonder.
It’s probably going to be even harder to prevent here because due to federation it’s very easy to open multiple accounts across instances and no instance admin has full user data of accounts on other instances…
But it also provides the opportunity to move to instances (and their communities) where the problem is well-managed, if any exist.
