Hot take: Discord is a piece of shit
Discord also doesn't let you delete your data, thus breaking GDPR. They need something to sell to data brokers.

People who haven't gotten into habit of googling stuff in the last 20 years might not get into it at all anymore because of how search engines are gamed with SEO spam tactics nowadays

I haven't used kagi, but the service being paid is not the red flag you think it is, as long as the privacy policy and ToS make sense.

Hey mods, please check in if you're still active

God reading this and the responses was a mistake. Honestly I wish the "protest has failed, get back to your unpaid job you overreaching mods!!!" just stays there in their copium bubble.

The thing is, you can't get that rich by playing fair, it's only possible at the expense of others. And I can assure you, most rich people are activelty making our lives worse.

It's so the app still runs on ancient android versions. Use the Droid-ify client instead if you don't want that

Yes, I didn't mean that lobbying in general is bad, I mean lobbying against the interest of the public. It's commonly done by basically any big corporation + propaganda to gaslight people into believing that its in their benefit ( an example i have on hand: https://web.archive.org/web/20201102203132/https://safeandsecuredata.org/get-the-facts/ )
By tax evasion I mean in general doing anything to not have to pay tax, lobbying against rich people tax, keeping your assets as loans, etc.
I'll look into the shameless plug

My concern is that billions of works are being used for training with no consent and no regard to the license, and that the model "learns" is not an excuse. If someone saved some of my content for personal use, sure, I don't mind that at all, but huge scale scraping for-profit operation downloading all content they physically can? Fuck off. I just blocked all the crawlers from ever accesing my websites (well, google and bing literally refuse to index my stuff properly anyway, so fuck them too, none of them even managed to read the sitemap properly, and it was definitely valid)

Most models are trained unethically, relying on weird statements about how humans learn the "same way" (looking at a few references when drawing a specific thing, you need to know how it looks to draw it lol) as large models (more or less averaging and weighting billions of images stolen from internet with no regards to the licenses)
